The biggest memecoin launchpad: create a coin and trade it on a bonding curve
How to make a meme coin: Solana launchpads compared
A memecoin launchpad lets anyone create a token in a couple of minutes, with no code. You pick a name, ticker and image, and the token starts trading on a bonding curve, where the price rises as people buy. Once enough SOL flows in, it graduates to a regular exchange pool.
Making a coin is easy; making one people trade is not. Most launches never graduate. Launchpads now pay creators a share of trading fees, which is why the space got crowded fast.

Launchpads FAQ
How do I make a meme coin?
Connect a Solana wallet to a launchpad like pump.fun, LetsBonk or Bags, fill in the name, ticker and image, and pay the small creation fee. The token starts trading immediately on a bonding curve.
How much does it cost to create a memecoin?
Usually a few cents to a few dollars in SOL for creation, plus any amount you choose to buy first.
What is a bonding curve?
A pricing formula where each buy raises the price. Launchpads use it until a token raises enough to move to a normal liquidity pool.
