Best Solana Launchpads in 2026
A Solana launchpad lets anyone create a token and have it trade from the first second, on a bonding curve, with no pool to set up. The big differences between them are who sees your coin, how much each trade costs, how much of that fee the creator keeps, and where liquidity goes when the coin graduates.
Short answer: Pump.fun for reach, Bags or Jupiter Studio for long-term creator income, Bonk.fun for BONK-themed launches. Details and numbers below. A note on bias: SolBundler is a launch tool that works on Pump.fun, Bonk.fun and Bags — we have no deal with any launchpad.
Side by side
| Launchpad | Built on | Trading fee | Creator gets | Graduation | Quote |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pump.fun | Own bonding curve | 1.25% | 0.30% of every curve trade | ~85 SOL in the curve → PumpSwap | SOL, USDC |
| Bonk.fun | Raydium LaunchLab | ~1% | Small share of fees | Raydium pool | SOL, USD1 |
| Bags | Meteora | 2% by default | Fee recipients share half (default) | 85 SOL → Meteora pool | SOL |
| Jupiter Studio | Meteora | 1% (meme mode) | 50% of the fee | $75K market cap → Meteora pool, LP locked | USDC, SOL, JUP |
| Raydium LaunchLab | Own curve | Set by the platform | Depends on platform | Raydium pool | SOL and others |
Fees are the defaults on the bonding curve; several launchpads let creators choose other settings.
Pump.fun — where most coins still launch
Pump.fun is the default. Bitquery counted 78% of all new Solana tokens on Pump.fun between November 2025 and October 2026, rising to 90% in August 2026. That is where traders, bots and trackers look first.
Creating a coin is free apart from network costs. Every trade on the bonding curve pays 1.25%: 0.95% to the protocol and 0.30% to the coin's creator. When about 85 SOL has gone into the curve, the coin graduates to PumpSwap, Pump.fun's own DEX, where the fee falls in tiers as market cap grows.
Best for: maximum visibility and liquidity. The trade-off is the competition — tens of thousands of coins a day, and sniper bots on almost every launch.
Bonk.fun — the main alternative
Bonk.fun (formerly LetsBonk) runs on Raydium's LaunchLab and is tied to the BONK community. In mid-2025 it briefly overtook Pump.fun in launches and fees, before Pump.fun took the lead back.
Trades pay about 1%, part of which goes to BONK buybacks and burns. Coins that complete the curve migrate to a Raydium pool. The audience is smaller than Pump.fun's, but so is the noise, and a strong BONK-adjacent narrative can travel further here.
Best for: launches aimed at the BONK community, or creators who want less crowded feeds.
Bags — built around creator fees
Bags is designed for creators who want ongoing income from trading. By default each trade pays 2%: half to the platform, half to the token's fee recipients — the creator and anyone they choose to share fees with, such as a collaborator or a community wallet. Other fee modes trade a lower fee before graduation for a higher one after, or the reverse.
Coins graduate at 85 SOL in the default mode and move to a Meteora pool, and the fee keeps being paid after graduation.
Best for: creators with an audience who plan to stay with the token and earn from its volume over time.
Jupiter Studio — launch inside Jupiter
Jupiter Studio launches tokens on Meteora's bonding curve with Jupiter's distribution behind them. In meme mode the fee is 1% on every buy and sell, split 50/50 between the creator and Jupiter — on the curve and after graduation.
A meme-mode coin graduates at a $75,000 market cap. The raised funds go into a Meteora pool whose LP tokens are permanently locked, so liquidity cannot be pulled. Creators can quote the coin in USDC, SOL or JUP.
Best for: projects that want locked liquidity and a USDC-priced chart, and creators who value a long-running fee share.
Raydium LaunchLab — the engine behind several launchpads
LaunchLab is Raydium's bonding-curve program. Bonk.fun and other branded launchpads run on it, each with its own fee settings, and you can also launch on LaunchLab directly. Graduated coins move into Raydium pools.
Best for: teams that want Raydium liquidity from day one or plan to run their own branded launchpad.
What the numbers say about launching anywhere
Most coins go nowhere, whatever the launchpad. Bitquery found that only 1 in 58 Pump.fun coins launched between November 2025 and October 2026 graduated, 79% never traded after their first day, and half had their last trade within about three minutes.
The launchpad sets the rules; it does not bring buyers. A clear idea, an audience ready before launch, and a launch that snipers do not take over matter more than the fee difference between platforms.
Which one to pick
Launching on Pump.fun, Bonk.fun or Bags?
SolBundler creates the coin and buys it from your own wallets in the same block, through one Jito bundle — before sniper bots can react. Free to sign up; 1% of launch buys, nothing on sells.
Questions
What is the best Solana launchpad in 2026?
For most meme coins it is still Pump.fun, because that is where buyers and trackers are — about 78% of new Solana tokens launched there over the past year. Bags and Jupiter Studio pay creators more over time; Bonk.fun suits BONK-themed launches.
Which launchpad has the lowest fees?
On the bonding curve, Jupiter Studio's meme mode and Bonk.fun charge about 1%, Pump.fun 1.25% and Bags 2% by default. What matters more for creators is the share they keep: 0.30% per trade on Pump.fun, 50% of the fee on Jupiter Studio, and a share of half the fee on Bags.
How many coins actually graduate?
Very few on Pump.fun. Bitquery found that 1 in 58 Pump.fun launches graduated between November 2025 and October 2026, and 79% of coins never traded after their first day.
Can I buy my own coin in the launch block on every launchpad?
Technically yes — the creation and your buys can go in one Jito bundle. SolBundler does this on Pump.fun, Bonk.fun and Bags, from as many wallets as you need.
Is Moonshot (Moonit) still a good option?
Moonshot rebranded as Moonit and its activity has dropped sharply; check that it is accepting launches before you plan around it. The same goes for smaller launchpads that come and go quickly.
