Solana launchpads compared: pump.fun, bonk.fun and more

Seven Solana launchpads side by side: pump.fun, bonk.fun, Raydium LaunchLab, Meteora DBC, Bags, Moonshot and Jup Studio. Whose curve, where it graduates.

Seven front doors, three curve programs underneath. Most of the difference is the pill on the logo and where the pool lands. The rest is who launches there.

New pairs as they launch, with dev, bundle, sniper and top 10 checks on every card: pump.fun new pairs, live.

Solana launchpads at a glance

Every Solana launchpad on this page starts a token on a bonding curve and moves it to a pool when the curve is done.

Only three programs run those curves: pump.fun's own, Raydium LaunchLab and Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC). The other names are launchpads built on top of one of them.

Launchpad Run by Curve program Graduates to In clusterz Trenches
pump.fun Pump.fun pump.fun PumpSwap, pump's own pool Green pump pill (red for Mayhem), chip Pumpfun
bonk.fun bonk.fun Raydium LaunchLab A Raydium pool Bonk pill and chip
Raydium LaunchLab Raydium Raydium LaunchLab A Raydium pool Raydium pill, chip LaunchLab
Meteora DBC Many partner launchpads, most unnamed Meteora DBC A Meteora DAMM pool Meteora pill, chip Meteora
Bags Bags Meteora DBC Meteora DAMM v2 Bags pill and chip
Moonshot Moonshot Meteora DBC A Meteora DAMM pool Moonshot pill and chip
Jup Studio Jupiter Meteora DBC Meteora DAMM v2 Jup Studio pill and chip

Raydium's docs name its CPMM pool as where a LaunchLab curve graduates now. Meteora's docs say new DBC launches graduate into DAMM v2, and older ones can still use DAMM v1. Sources at the bottom.

All seven show up in the same three Trenches columns: New under 50% of the curve, Soon from 50%, and Graduated once the token trades in its own pool. Every one of them can be bought from a card, in Practice or Live.

Solana launchpads in clusterz Trenches: new launches in three columns, New, Soon and Graduated. Trenches: launches from every launchpad land in the same three columns.

How each launchpad works, in one paragraph

pump.fun. The biggest Solana launchpad and the one most terminals are built around.

A standard curve sells 793.1 million of 1 billion tokens, and graduates when the last curve token is bought, to PumpSwap. pump.fun also runs Mayhem mode, where pump's own bot trades a billion extra tokens it never bought. pump.fun has no page of its own here: the curve maths is in what is a bonding curve, the columns and pills in Trenches, and the apps and fees in clusterz vs Pump.fun.

bonk.fun. The launchpad that started as letsbonk.fun, the name its platform account still carries on chain.

It does not have a curve of its own: every bonk.fun token is a Raydium LaunchLab launch made through bonk.fun's platform settings. Read bonk.fun.

Raydium LaunchLab. Raydium's launch program. Any platform can make launches on it with its own settings, and bonk.fun is one.

In clusterz, a LaunchLab launch from anywhere but bonk.fun reads as LaunchLab. Each launch sets its own sale size and target, so there is no one graduation number. Read Raydium LaunchLab.

Meteora DBC. Meteora's white-label bonding curve. Each partner launchpad brings its own curve settings and migration threshold. Most DBC volume we see comes from a handful of creators relaunching the same few names. Read Meteora DBC.

Bags. A launchpad built around fee sharing: each launch says who gets the creator side of its trading fees. Its tokens start on Meteora DBC and graduate to DAMM v2. Read Bags.

Moonshot. A Solana trading app. The launches we label Moonshot run on Meteora DBC with Moonshot's own curve settings. Read Moonshot.

Jup Studio. Jupiter's launchpad. Its curve raises USDC, SOL or JUP and graduates into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool with the LP locked for good. Read Jup Studio.

What is the same on every launchpad in clusterz

  • The card. Same ring, same holder checks, same Alpha score, same Buy. Read the holder checks before you trust a pill colour.
  • The columns. The ring and the Soon cut read curve progress. On pump.fun and LaunchLab that is the share of curve tokens sold. On Meteora's curve it is the share of the threshold raised.
  • Migrating. A finished curve sits at the top of Soon reading Migrating until its pool trades, 20 seconds at most. Buy waits. See Migrating.
  • Practice. A Practice fill on a LaunchLab or Meteora curve is priced from the same curve read as a Live trade. See Practice and Live.
  • Our fee. 1% on trades you place, on top of the curve's or pool's own fee, which differs from launchpad to launchpad. See Fees.

What differs: Copy Trade, snipes and Mayhem

Bad news first. Automation in clusterz is pump.fun only.

  • Copy Trade. A copy of a trader follows buys on pump.fun and PumpSwap. A buy on bonk.fun, LaunchLab or any Meteora launchpad is skipped. In Live, copies buy on the pump.fun curve only. See Copy Trade limits.
  • Snipes. Copy a dev lists pump.fun devs, and fast, together and dev copies read pump.fun and PumpSwap trades only.
  • Mayhem. Only pump.fun has it. Hide Mayhem tokens changes nothing on the other six.

So on bonk.fun, LaunchLab and the Meteora launchpads, every buy is one you press yourself.

Filter Trenches by launchpad

Each column's Filters sheet has a Launchpads row: Pumpfun, Bonk, LaunchLab, Meteora, Bags, Moonshot and Jup Studio, all on to start.

Turn one off and its launches leave that column. Each launchpad page here has a link that opens Trenches with only that launchpad on, in all three columns. For pump.fun only, use the setup in Trenches filters.

Solana launchpads FAQ

What is the best Solana launchpad?

There is no best one for a trader, only different crowds and different pools. pump.fun carries the most launches and the most automation in clusterz. bonk.fun and LaunchLab graduate to Raydium.

Bags, Moonshot and Jup Studio all graduate to Meteora. Judge the launch, not the launchpad: the rug check works the same on all seven.

What are the pump.fun alternatives for launching or trading new tokens?

bonk.fun and Raydium LaunchLab on Raydium's curve, and Meteora DBC with the launchpads on it: Bags, Moonshot and Jup Studio. clusterz shows all of them next to pump.fun in Trenches. Turn the Pumpfun chip off to see only the alternatives.

bonk.fun vs pump.fun: what is the difference?

They run on different programs. pump.fun has its own curve and graduates to PumpSwap. bonk.fun makes Raydium LaunchLab launches and graduates to a Raydium pool.

In clusterz, pump.fun launches can be copied and sniped, and bonk.fun launches cannot. See bonk.fun.

Can I copy trade bonk.fun or Meteora launches?

Not on clusterz. Copy Trade only follows buys on pump.fun and PumpSwap, and Live copies buy on the pump.fun curve only. You can still buy any of these launches yourself from a Trenches card.
