Launch
Launch currency and creator fees
Choose what your token trades against and who earns its creator fees.
The first step of a launch, Chain & launchpad, sets two things that cannot change once the token exists: what it is bought and sold with, and who earns its creator fees. Solana and pump.fun are picked for you; other chains and launchpads show Soon.
Launch currency
Your token is paired with SOL unless you pick another currency. Browse Popular, Stocks, Crypto or Memes, search, or paste the address of any pump token and press Pair with this token.
With another currency:
- Your funding wallet changes SOL into that currency when it funds your wallets, and each buy pays in it. Fees are always paid in SOL.
- Block-0 fits 3 buyers in a transaction instead of 4, so fewer wallets buy in the first block.
- Cleanup only runs on launches in SOL, and so does a Custom After launch plan.
- After launch, Convert all to SOL on Wallets changes what is left back to SOL.
Changing the currency keeps each buy's share of supply.
Creator fees
Every trade of your token pays a creator fee of about 0.3%. Under Creator fees go to:
| Choice | What happens |
|---|---|
| Dev wallet | Your dev wallet collects them. Claim them from the trade panel any time. |
| Holders | pump.fun pays them to everyone holding your token, automatically. Nothing to claim. |
Holders is permanent: once the token exists, it can't be changed back.
