Launch a coin

What do I need to launch a token?

A Solana wallet with enough SOL for the network fee and rent, a name, a symbol and an image of up to 2 MB. A description, a website, an X link and a Telegram link are optional, and so is a dev-buy: SOL you spend on your own coin in the launch transaction. On Solana, everything is open on mainnet with real SOL at stake: launching, trading and the trading tools, every transaction signed by your own wallet.

How much does it cost to launch a token on KABOOM!?

On Solana there is no launch fee. You pay the network fee and the rent for the new accounts, plus your optional dev-buy. Every Solana launch with a dev-buy pays a 1% creation fee on the buy (the dev-buy, plus every bundle wallet on a bundle launch) to the platform, inside the launch transaction; a launch without a dev-buy pays none. The 1% creation fee goes entirely to the platform; referral rewards come from trading and tool fees, never from the creation fee. Before you sign, the launch page shows the creation fee and simulates the exact transaction, so you see the total that leaves your wallet. On Robinhood Chain, PONS charges a launch fee in ETH; the launch page reads it from the contracts and shows it before you sign.

What is a dev-buy and where can I see it?

A dev-buy is SOL the maker spends on their own coin inside the launch transaction. The pool is created in that same transaction, so nobody can buy ahead of it. The Solana coin page shows the dev-buy as a share of the supply, read from the launch transaction. Dev-buy tokens are not vested: they sit in the maker's wallet and can be sold at any time.

Can I launch with bundle wallets?

Bundle launches are open on Solana mainnet: the coin, the maker's dev-buy and buys from up to 2 of the maker's own vault wallets go in one transaction, with a 1% creation fee on the total buy (the same 1% a standard launch pays on its dev-buy), and the coin page lists every bundle wallet. The bundle wallets sign the launch transaction with the maker, so it lands as a whole or not at all; what does not fit in one transaction is refused, never split. Bundle buys pay the coin's launch fee at that moment, including the anti-sniper fee, and the review shows every cost before you sign. On Robinhood Chain, the planned KABOOM! hub contract (not yet deployed) would make the maker’s buy and buys from declared bundle wallets in the launch transaction, up to a limit read from the contract, and the coin page would show the bundled wallets.

Can anyone mint more tokens or change the name or image?

Every Solana coin has a supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens with 6 decimals and is configured with the bonding-curve SDK's immutable token-authority option, not one of the options that keep a mint authority. That is the launch config, not a recorded check: the coin page reads the mint authority and the metadata from the chain, so check there for each coin.

Is the liquidity locked?

Yes, at migration 100% of the liquidity is permanently locked: 50% in a platform position and 50% in a maker position. The locked liquidity cannot be withdrawn; whether trading fees on the locked positions can be claimed has not been tested yet. The rule is part of the config every Solana coin launches with, and the coin page reads the LP status from the chain. For Robinhood Chain coins the LP lock is not known.

Which wallets can I use?

On Solana, the app finds browser wallets through the Wallet Standard, and it can also sign with a wallet from the built-in vault. On Robinhood Chain it uses an EVM browser wallet. You sign every transaction yourself.
