The platform offers linear, exponential, and logarithmic pricing models, allows third-party UI customization of fees, supports multiple quoting tokens, and integrates Raydium's liquidity locking feature.
Previously, Pump.fun planned to launch its own AMM, reducing reliance on Raydium, which led to a 25% drop in Raydium's native token RAY in February. Raydium core contributors stated that LaunchLab is not intended to replace Pump.fun but to provide more options for teams that do not want to develop contracts themselves.

Voices from the Industry
Dragonfly Partner: Recently Communicated with Ethereum Foundation, Now Bullish on ETH
Dragonfly Capital partner Hasseb Qureshi stated on X that after meeting with several members of the Ethereum Foundation (EF) at the ETH SF conference, his outlook on Ethereum has become more optimistic.
Hasseb mentioned that the current EF has a real sense of urgency and consensus, understanding that changes are needed. The situation is no longer like it was in 2020; the EF has realized this, and they want Ethereum to maintain its important position. They are gathering opinions from investors and developers and thinking about how to replicate the success of the Solana Superteam within the Ethereum ecosystem. The focus on research and academia is decreasing, with more emphasis on capital building and the entrepreneurial process. The leadership of Ethereum has faced a lot of criticism, and you need to know this—these criticisms are having an effect; they are listening and seriously considering how to adapt.
Hasseb concluded by saying, "I am currently bullish on ETH."
Multicoin Capital Co-Founder: SOL ETF Performance Will Outperform ETH ETF
Multicoin Capital co-founder Kyle Samani stated that due to Solana's lower fees and market capitalization, the performance of Solana-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) may outperform Ethereum-based ETFs. It is reported that Kyle Samani is a major investor in SOL and many of its ecosystem protocols, and he has been publicly urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to give a positive evaluation to the SOL ETF.
Samani stated, "From an investment perspective, Solana's theoretical price-to-earnings ratio is much healthier than Ethereum's. He calculated that Solana's price-to-earnings ratio is between 30 and 50 times, while Ethereum's is close to 1,000 times."
Odaily Note: The price-to-earnings ratio is a measure of a company's stock valuation, calculated by dividing the price per share or market capitalization by earnings per share. A high price-to-earnings ratio indicates that a company is overvalued, while a low price-to-earnings ratio suggests it is undervalued. This metric can also be used to assess the revenue and tokens of a blockchain.

Bernstein: $100,000 is Not the Peak of This BTC Cycle, Expected to Reach $200,000 by Year-End
Brokerage firm Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani believes that the current cycle is "still in its early stages." In the context of a U.S. government that is highly supportive of cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrencies can transition from a speculative asset class to a utility-based digital capital market. He explained, "We still believe that the $100,000 Bitcoin price level is not the peak of the cycle. The Bitcoin market has a lot of momentum left, and we expect Bitcoin to reach a cycle peak of $200,000 by the end of 2025. If the market remains uneasy about macroeconomic conditions and the risks posed by Trump in 2025, we may see the peak of the Bitcoin cycle delayed, and we could see the Bitcoin bull market cycle extend into 2026."
