With the return of funds and the recovery of sentiment, the on-chain world is quietly heating up, and many emerging token issuance platforms have begun to launch successive attacks on the leading Pump.fun. This article by PANews reviews 10 recently popular Launchpad platform newcomers, covering the MEME, AI Agent, and SocialFi sectors, mainly focused on the Solana ecosystem. These platforms each have their own characteristics, mostly relying on solid ecological foundations and resource advantages, and competing for market share through innovative mechanisms and differentiated positioning, such as optimizing issuance mechanisms, enriching creator incentives, enhancing token empowerment, and improving platform security.
LaunchLab
LaunchLab is a token issuance platform based on Solana, launched by Raydium in mid-April this year. Creators can publish tokens using the JustSendIt model, and once liquidity reaches 85 SOL, the tokens will be immediately migrated to Raydium's AMM. LaunchLab offers various customization options, including token supply settings, distribution curves, vesting periods, etc., and users can choose to receive a 10% share of transaction fees. The platform's trading fee is 1%, of which 50% goes to the community pool, 25% is used for $RAY buybacks, and 25% is allocated for project infrastructure and operations. On April 26, Raydium announced the opening of a 50,000 RAY reward pool to reward users trading on LaunchLab.
According to Dune data, as of April 29, LaunchLab has issued 24,916 tokens, with a graduation rate of 0.84%. In terms of the number of tokens created, since LaunchLab's launch on April 16, the issuance volume was initially low, typically in the hundreds, but has significantly increased since April 25, with daily issuance reaching thousands. Among the 210 graduated projects, total trading volume is mainly concentrated in LetsBONK, TIME, and Hosico tokens, with a cumulative trading volume close to $350 million, while the trading volume of remaining tokens mostly ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Letsbonk.Fun
Letsbonk.Fun, based on Solana, is developed by members of the MEME coin BONK community in collaboration with Raydium. It allows users to create their own MEME coins through a simple process of clicking "Create Token," filling in token details, and customizing supply. It also provides developers with wallet tagging and binding curve features, allowing tokens to quickly connect to DEXs like Raydium and Jupiter after launch. Each transaction on the platform incurs a 1% fee, which is used for development funding pools, BONKsol validators, and buyback and burn of BONK. Platform users can also participate in the 50,000 RAY reward pool of LaunchLab.
Arc Forge
Arc Forge is an Agent token issuance solution launched by the AI Agent project arc on Solana in mid-February this year. The platform is built on Meteora DLMM and integrated with Jupiter routing, offering advantages such as more efficient liquidity, prevention of sniping bots, and customized liquidity strategies, with only high-quality projects that have passed review allowed to participate.
auto.fun
auto.fun is a no-code AI agent Launchpad platform based on Solana launched by Eliza Labs, used for issuing new tokens and autonomous agents. The native token is ai16z, and the platform allows users to deploy complex AI agents without a technical background, adopting a fairer token issuance mechanism. auto.fun uses a dual-pool system: the SOL:AT main pool serves as the platform's primary liquidity pool, pairing newly released agent tokens (AT) with SOL and providing liquidity through Raydium; $ai16z:AT is a target for future phases, aiming to pair liquidity by buying back $ai16z from platform revenue. Each project launched on auto.fun receives a liquidity NFT supported by Raydium, granting project creators ownership of the liquidity and enabling continuous revenue capture through the NFT. In each AT token liquidity pool, auto.fun charges a 10% fee, which is used to buy back $ai16z tokens from the market. According to the official website, as of April 27, the highest market cap of tokens on auto.fun is only in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Time.fun
Time.fun is a time tokenization platform that migrated from Base to the Solana ecosystem. Creators must register through the platform interface, customizing token name, symbol, and initial supply, and set pricing for time services (in USDC), but identity verification is required.
In the past two months, Time.fun has been frequently recommended by Solana co-founder toly, who recently initiated an auction on the platform, attracting over $1.2 million in total bids. Three entrepreneurs won the opportunity to pitch their projects to Toly and the Solana ecosystem community, which will be presented live on May 6, where they will introduce their entrepreneurial projects and receive live feedback from Toly.
According to Dune data, as of April 28, the total number of tokens issued on the Time.fun platform is only 396, but daily issuance has continued to decline after peaking on the first day of launch, with several days seeing issuance drop to single digits or even zero. Meanwhile, the platform's total trading volume has exceeded $200 million, with over $100 million contributed on the first day of launch on Solana, followed by a gradual decline in trading volume, which currently remains in the tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars range. Trading volume is mainly driven by the token $toly, which has accounted for more than half of the total for a long time.
Genesis Launches
Genesis Launches is a launch platform recently introduced by the Virtuals Protocol based on Base and Solana, with the core goal of allowing community users to fairly participate in the early incubation of new AI Agent projects, preventing bots and snipers from low-price grabbing, and protecting participants' funds. Each new project starts with a fixed diluted market cap of 112,000 $VIRTUAL (approximately $120,000), and users participate by staking Virgin Points. Each round has a 24-hour bidding period, and the more points a user has, the higher the allocation. Currently, users have three main ways to earn points: by investing in Sentient and Prototype Agent tokens to earn Trenchor points, holding $VIRTUAL tokens, and staking $VADER tokens. Unused points will expire after 30 days.
Shell Launchpad
Shell Launchpad is launched by MyShel, an AI Agent platform on the BNB Chain, aimed at helping users easily launch and tokenize their AI Agents. The platform offers various creation modes, including classic mode, professional configuration mode, and ShellAgent mode, catering to novice users, developers with some technical background, and professional developers, respectively. Shell Launchpad provides over 300 modular AI widgets, allowing users to quickly combine and build complex AI Agents, and set basic information such as their AI Agent's name, description, token, and category according to their needs, as well as configure the token economic model, including total supply and fundraising amount. Once the financing of the AI Agent reaches the target, the platform will automatically launch it on DEX.
Swarms LaunchPad
Swarms LaunchPad is an AI agent token issuance platform developed by the AI Agent project Swarms on Solana, used for creating, deploying, tokenizing, and monetizing intelligent agents. Users can build customized AI agents through the Swarms SDK (supporting Python/Rust SDK) and upload their developed AI agents for tokenization, trading them through Swarms Dex. These tokenized AI agents can be sold or rented on the Swarms market, with developers profiting from purchase fees, rental shares, or trading revenue. Developers of high-quality agents can receive additional SWARMS token rewards.
Recently, Swarms LaunchPad underwent significant upgrades, including performance optimization, integration with Gecko Terminal, new comment features, and a holdings page, with the source code fully open-sourced to GitHub.
According to the Swarms LaunchPad official website, as of April 29, the total number of Agents on the platform is 20, with a total market cap of approximately $1.5 million.
someting
Currently, someting has not officially launched and is still in the whitelist phase. According to known information, someting has partnered with Meteora, including unilateral liquidity, dynamic pools, and vaults, and features a unique Bonding Curve mechanism, with lower fees and faster binding times. On the someting platform, token liquidity requires 42 SOL to graduate, with a trading fee of 0.69%, supporting customizable bond curves, having anti-sniping features, and integrating market makers to automatically provide liquidity. Additionally, to enhance project credibility, someting also has a verification badge from platform X.
Launch Coin on Believe
Launch Coin on Believe allows users to create and issue new tokens through simple social interactions, with the core mechanism being to reply to tweets containing @launchacoin + token name, thereby triggering the generation of a new token.
It is worth noting that Launch Coin on Believe is the predecessor of PASTERNAK, who is one of the founders of Monkey (one of the largest social applications in Web2) and the celebrity coin created by Clout founder Ben Pasternak. Clout is a SocialFi platform that combines features of platforms like Friend.Tech, Pump.fun, and Moonshot, allowing celebrities and creators to issue tokens named after themselves, and has received support from Alliance DAO and others.
