Devving Coins
Launch tokens that fit the moment. Catch a narrative early, create the token, earn from bonding curve fees + LP after graduation.
When to Use
- "Launch a memecoin"
- "Dev a coin for this meta"
- "Create a token on PumpFun"
- "How do I launch on Solana?"
When NOT to Use
- Buying existing tokens — use dex-trading
- LP on existing pools — use lp-farming
- No active meta — don't launch into silence
The Launchpads
PumpFun (Most Popular)
Default choice. Biggest audience, most eyeballs. Cost: ~0.02 SOL. Graduates at ~85 SOL to PumpSwap.
outsmart create-coin --name "Token Name" --symbol "TICKER" --metadata-uri "https://arweave.net/..."
All tokens: 6 decimals, 1B supply, mint/freeze authority disabled.
Jupiter Studio
Built on Meteora DBC. USDC curves, anti-sniping, dev vesting. Graduates to DAMM v2. Presets: Meme ($16k->$69k MC), Indie ($32k->$240k MC with vesting), Custom.
Raydium LaunchLab
Graduates to Raydium CPMM. Less popular for memes but powers other launchpads (american.fun).
Meteora DBC
Permissionless bonding curve infrastructure. Jupiter Studio and many AI agent launchpads use it underneath. Graduates to DAMM v2.
Which Launchpad When
| You want... | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Max eyeballs, quick meme | PumpFun | Biggest audience |
| USDC curve, anti-snipe, vesting | Jupiter Studio | Built-in protections |
| Autonomous agent launching | PumpFun | Single CLI command |
Catching the Narrative
The token creation is just a transaction. Knowing what to launch and when is everything.
- CT/X — ground zero. 5+ accounts on same theme = meta forming
- Telegram groups — stuff leaks here before CT
- DexScreener trending — what's pumping right now?
- News events — speed matters, first token with the right ticker wins
The window is phases 1-2 of a meta. By phase 3 you're too late.
After Graduation
# Token graduates to DEX. Create DAMM v2 pool with 99% fee:
outsmart create-pool --dex meteora-damm-v2 --token MINT \
--base-amount 1000000 --quote-amount 0.5 \
--max-fee 9900 --min-fee 200 --duration 86400 --periods 100
# As token matures, open DLMM position:
outsmart add-liq --dex meteora-dlmm --pool POOL --sol 0.5 --strategy spot --bins 50
Total cost from launch to full LP: ~0.25 SOL.
Don't Be a Bad Dev
- Don't dump your allocation immediately — everyone sees it on GMGN
- Don't rug the LP — lock or burn it
- Don't launch with mint/freeze authority — instant red flag
- Don't buy most of your supply via alt wallets — GMGN detects bundled buys
- Don't launch into a dead meta
