how it works
wave is a Raydium launchpad built for thicker liquidity and stocks + ETFs.
Every coin launches through @Raydium, with deeper pools from day one and the option to pair your launch with tokenized stocks and ETFs.
- Thicker LPs: pick Standard (85 SOL), Big LP (200 SOL) or Mega LP (500 SOL) graduation, or launch straight into a Raydium pool with locked liquidity
- Stocks + ETFs: choose from 1,400+ tokenized stocks and ETFs, your SOL is swapped into the asset and paired with your coin in a Raydium pool
- Anti-vamp: the original name and ticker wears the OG badge, copies are flagged and hidden
- Every buy and sell bumps, and King of the Hill is back
The steps
- 1Sign in with your wallet
No email, no password. Your wallet signs a one-time, expiring challenge that only proves you own the address. Your profile keeps a username, bio, avatar, live SOL balance and every coin you launched.
- 2Start a new coin
Name, ticker, description and an image you upload yourself.
- 3Your address is generated for you
Every new launch address is generated in your browser and re-checked by the server before anything is submitted.
- 4Your dev buy lands in the launch transaction
The dev buy is bundled into the same transaction as the creation, so nobody — bundlers, bots or snipers — can get a position before the creator does.
- 5Launches and trades are real
New coins are created through Raydium LaunchLab with SOL-paired bonding curves and migrate to Raydium CPMM pools when the curve completes. Every trade is signed by your wallet; older Pump.fun coins retain their original venue. A coin only appears in the feed once the transaction is confirmed on mainnet, so the feed shows live coins, not previews.
- 6Buys and sells bump
Every confirmed buy or sell bumps a coin to the top of the feed, the same shake-and-flash you remember. Trades made for the same coin anywhere else are indexed too and share the bump.
- 7Go thicker on liquidity
Choose a bigger graduation target so your coin migrates with a deeper Raydium pool, or use a direct pool launch: fixed supply, mint and freeze authority revoked, all supply in the pool and your LP locked.
- 8Launch against a stock or ETF
Pick Stock / ETF in the launch form, choose an asset and enter SOL. Your wallet approves creating the coin, swapping SOL into the tokenized asset and funding a Raydium pool pairing the two.
- 9Charts and chat on every coin
Each coin page carries a live price chart, a thread for replies and a full trade list with venue, size and a link to the transaction.
- 10King of the Hill is back
The coin with the largest market cap sits at the top of the home page, where it belongs.
- 11The anti-vamp system
The first coin to use a name or ticker is the original and wears the OG badge. Lookalikes — near-miss spellings, leetspeak, trailing digits — are marked VAMP, kept out of the feed unless you ask to see copies, and shown a warning that points visitors back to the original. Browse them in the OG and Vamp sections.
Fees, in plain words
Raydium LaunchLab sets its protocol and platform fees through its on-chain configuration. Network costs and Raydium fees are additional to the separate wave trading fee.
On trades made through wave we add a disclosed 0.1% fee, taken from the quoted trade size and collected inside the same wallet-signed transaction. Trades you place elsewhere are not charged by us — they are only indexed.
New launches use a single launch-fee allocation instead of a creator/holder split. There is no anti-bundler tax.
Raydium protocol fees remain separate, and existing coins keep their original recipients. Fees & burns →
