Launchpad

Also written or said as: launchpads, launch platform, token launcher, launch site

A site where anyone can create a new coin in a minute, usually on a bonding curve.

You pick a name, ticker and picture, and the coin is live and tradable almost at once. pump.fun is by far the biggest on Solana as of October 2026; others include Bonk.fun, StonkFun, Bags and several built on Meteora's bonding curve, and which ones are popular changes from month to month. The launchpad sets the rules everyone plays by, from fees to what happens at graduation.
