Solana memecoin launchpads compared: pump.fun, LaunchLab and Meteora DBC

Solana memecoin launchpads almost all run on one of three program families: pump.fun, Raydium LaunchLab (used by LetsBonk.fun) and Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve (used by Believe, Moonit and Jupiter Studio). pump.fun uses one fixed set of numbers for every coin; LaunchLab and DBC let each platform set its own curve, fees and graduation point.

Once you know which family a coin comes from, you know how its price is set, what it costs to trade and where it goes when its curve fills.

• pump.fun runs its own bonding-curve program and its own AMM, PumpSwap. One launchpad, one published set of numbers. Addresses end in pump.
• Raydium LaunchLab is launchpad infrastructure that other platforms configure. LetsBonk.fun is the best-known front end; its addresses end in bonk. Coins graduate into Raydium CPMM pools.
• Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC) is a configurable launch program used by Believe, Moonit, Jupiter Studio and others. Coins graduate into Meteora DAMM v2 pools.

This page compares the families. The detail on each is in its own explainer: the pump.fun bonding curve, LetsBonk.fun and Meteora DBC.

Each line compares pump.fun, then Raydium LaunchLab (for example LetsBonk), then Meteora DBC (for example Believe, Moonit or Jupiter Studio), as of October 2026.

• Who sets the parameters: pump.fun, for every coin · each LaunchLab platform, per configuration · each DBC launchpad ("partner"), per configuration.
• Curve: constant product on 30 SOL / 1.073B virtual reserves · constant product by default, with LetsBonk pools matching pump.fun's numbers · a multi-segment curve of up to 20 price ranges.
• Quote token: SOL, though USDC-quoted coins also exist · SOL on the platforms we checked · SOL or a stablecoin such as USDC.
• Graduation point: ≈ 85 SOL raised and ≈ 411 SOL of market cap · set per platform, 85 SOL on the LetsBonk pools we decoded · set per launchpad in the quote token.
• Fee on the curve: 1.25% (0.95% protocol, 0.30% creator) · set per platform, with bonk.fun stating 1% · set per launchpad, and able to start high and decay.
• Graduates to: a PumpSwap canonical pool · a Raydium CPMM pool · a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.
• Fee after graduation: 1.25% falling to 0.30% by market-cap tier · the pool config's trade fee, 0.25% on the config we verified · chosen by the launchpad, 0.25% to 6% or custom.
• Liquidity after graduation: LP tokens burnt · LP locked to the platform or burned · partner and creator lock percentages.

The simplest summary: pump.fun is fixed, LaunchLab and DBC are configurable. With pump.fun you can learn one set of numbers and apply it to every coin. With the other two, the numbers depend on the platform, and in DBC's case they can even change over the first minutes of a coin's life.

Which launchpad is cheapest to trade?

On the curve the gap between families is small: pump.fun's 1.25% against bonk.fun's 1%, for example. After graduation it can be large.

A newly graduated pump.fun coin pays 1.25% on PumpSwap until it passes 420 SOL of market cap; a LetsBonk coin in a 0.25% Raydium pool pays a fifth of that; a DBC coin pays whatever its launchpad chose, which can be several percent. For a trader who goes in and out of the same coin many times, that is the difference that matters.

Which launchpad is most predictable?

Because every pump.fun coin follows the same curve, you can convert a market cap into SOL raised and progress in your head (see pump.fun market cap explained). On a DBC coin, the same market cap can mean a different amount raised and a different distance to graduation. On a USDC-quoted coin, the SOL price stops mattering at all.

Does it matter which launchpad you snipe on?

pump.fun charges the first buyer the same fee as everyone else. Some DBC launchpads use a fee scheduler that makes the first seconds expensive to discourage sniping bots. If you trade fresh launches, this changes what an early entry costs from one launchpad to the next.

What is the same on every launchpad?

Who holds the supply. No family stops a creator or a bundle of linked wallets from buying a large share in the first block and selling it into later buyers.

No family stops a coin from never graduating, either, which is the common outcome on all of them. How not to get rugged applies to every coin on this page.

1. 1

   Look at the address suffix

   pump is pump.fun and bonk is LetsBonk. Many launchpads grind vanity suffixes, but a suffix alone can be imitated, so treat it as a hint.

2. 2

   Check the creating program

   On a Solana explorer, the token's creation transaction shows which program made the curve: pump.fun's program, Raydium LaunchLab, or Meteora DBC.

3. 3

   For LaunchLab and DBC, find the configuration

   The pool references a platform or partner config account. That account holds the fee, the threshold and the quote token.

4. 4

   Use your terminal's label

   Axiom, GMGN and similar terminals usually tag the launchpad on the token page. Confirm with the explorer when it matters.

There is no single best Solana launchpad for traders. The logo on a coin is a weak signal of its quality; what the family tells you is cost and mechanics.

• Want one set of rules and the most activity? pump.fun is the default, and its curve is the one most tools are built around. Start with how pump.fun works.
• Trading the same coin repeatedly after graduation? LaunchLab coins in low-fee Raydium pools are cheaper to trade.
• Trading DBC coins? Learn the configurations of the two or three launchpads you use most rather than treating DBC as one thing.

Fullport's token universe covers all three families: pump.fun on the curve and on PumpSwap, every Raydium LaunchLab platform on the curve and in its Raydium pool, and Meteora DBC pools quoted in SOL or stablecoins plus their DAMM v2 pools. Every mint is verified on-chain against its launchpad's programs, so arbitrary SPL tokens are rejected (Rules §Token universe). Each fill uses that venue's own math and fee, read fresh at execution (fill policy).

Your cost is capped at the one-time fee of $120 to $300: trading losses come out of the simulated balance, never your wallet. Funded payouts send you 80% of profit in SOL every 5 days. Trade from the browser terminal or with Fullport Tap on the terminal you already use.
