Creating a LaunchLab token

Two creation modes — JustSendit for a fast no-config launch, LaunchLab for full control over supply, curve, vesting, and post-migration fees. Covers UI walkthrough, key decisions, and what to do after launch.

Raydium LaunchLab is infrastructure for token creation. Launching a token carries financial and reputational risk. Nothing on this page constitutes financial, legal, or investment advice. Consult appropriate professionals before launching a token that involves public fundraising.

Two creation modes

LaunchLab offers two creation paths accessible from raydium.io/launchlab/create:

	JustSendit	LaunchLab
Setup time	~1 minute	~5 minutes
Token supply	Fixed default	Fully configurable
SOL target	85 SOL (fixed)	24 SOL minimum, custom
Curve %	Default	51–80% on curve
Vesting	None	Optional
Post-migration fees	Default (10% creator LP share)	Configurable
Best for	Quick community launches	Structured token launches

---

JustSendit mode

The fastest way to launch. Minimal input required; the platform fills in sensible defaults.

What you need

• A connected wallet with enough SOL for transaction fees (~0.05–0.1 SOL for creation).
• A token name and ticker symbol.
• An image or GIF that meets the UI requirements.

Steps

1. Go to raydium.io/launchlab/create and select JustSendit.
2. Enter the token name and ticker.
3. Optionally add a description and social links (website, Twitter/X, Telegram).
4. Upload a logo image or GIF.
5. Optionally enter an initial buy amount in SOL to purchase tokens at creation. This changes the first on-curve price state and should be reviewed before signing.
6. Review the summary and click Create.
7. Approve the transaction in your wallet.

Your token launches immediately on the bonding curve. It graduates to a Raydium AMM pool once 85 SOL has been collected by the curve.

LaunchLab mode

Full-control creation with configurable supply, fundraising target, curve allocation, vesting, and fee parameters.

What you need

• A connected wallet with ~0.1–0.5 SOL for creation and vault rent.
• All the inputs below ready before you start (settings cannot be changed after launch).

Configuration options

Token details

• Name, ticker, logo — same as JustSendit.
• Description and social links — recommended for discoverability.

Supply and curve allocation

• Total supply — total number of tokens to be minted (e.g. 1,000,000,000).
• Curve allocation (%) — the percentage of total supply placed on the bonding curve for public purchase (51–80%). The remainder seeds the post-graduation liquidity pool.

The curve allocation and total supply are fixed at launch and cannot be changed. Choose carefully before signing.

SOL fundraising target

• The minimum graduation threshold is 24 SOL. You can set it higher.
• This is the amount of SOL the curve must collect before the token graduates to a CPMM pool.
• Setting it too high risks the curve never graduating if demand is insufficient.

Vesting (optional)

Vesting locks a portion of the token supply and releases it linearly to designated wallets over a schedule.

Field	Description
Total locked amount	Tokens to lock across all beneficiaries (as % of total supply, subject to program caps).
Cliff period	Wait time after graduation before any tokens unlock (e.g. 180 days).
Unlock period	Duration of linear unlock after the cliff (e.g. 365 days).

Locked tokens do not enter the curve and are not part of the graduation liquidity pool. They are released to each beneficiary’s wallet over the schedule above.

Important vesting rules:

• Cliff and unlock periods are fixed at launch — they cannot be changed retroactively.
• If a beneficiary loses their wallet key, locked tokens are permanently unreachable. Use a multisig if recovery matters.
• Any portion of total_locked_amount not allocated to a beneficiary before graduation is permanently stuck. Allocate the full amount.

For the full on-chain mechanics see LaunchLab vesting.

Post-migration fee sharing

When the token graduates:

• LP tokens are minted to the CPMM pool.
• By default on Raydium: 90% of LP tokens are burned (permanently locked via Burn & Earn) and 10% are given to the creator as a Fee Key NFT.
• The Fee Key NFT entitles you to collect 10% of LP trading fees from the post-migration pool — indefinitely.

Enable this if you want ongoing revenue from your token’s liquidity and accept the Fee Key NFT custody responsibilities. See How creator fees work for details.

Steps

1. Select LaunchLab mode on the creation page.
2. Fill in token details (name, ticker, logo, description, socials).
3. Set total supply and curve allocation percentage.
4. Set your SOL fundraising target (≥ 24 SOL).
5. Configure vesting if needed (set beneficiary wallets and schedule).
6. Enable post-migration fee sharing if you want a creator LP share.
7. Optionally enter an initial buy amount.
8. Review the full summary — curve price range, graduation condition, LP split.
9. Click Create and approve the transaction.

After your token launches

Monitor curve progress

Your token’s LaunchLab page shows real-time progress:

• % of curve sold.
• SOL raised vs. graduation target.
• Current price and price chart.

LaunchLab does not intervene in launches that fail to reach graduation. Monitor curve progress and communicate clearly with your community.

Graduation

Graduation is triggered automatically by the first transaction that pushes the curve past the threshold — this can be called by any user (the caller earns a small bounty). No action is required from you as creator.

After graduation:

• A CPMM pool is created with the collected SOL and remaining curve tokens as initial liquidity.
• If you enabled post-migration fees, a Fee Key NFT is minted to your wallet.
• Claim pre-migration creator fees from your Portfolio page.

Claim pre-migration creator fees

If your platform enables creator fees during the bonding curve phase, they accumulate in a vault. Claim them from the Portfolio page on raydium.io at any time.

Pitfalls to avoid

Pitfall	What to do
Setting SOL target too high	Pick a target the market can realistically hit.
Over-allocating vesting before beneficiaries are confirmed	Unallocated vested supply is permanently inaccessible after graduation.
Transferring or burning the Fee Key NFT unintentionally	Fee claim rights are permanently lost. Keep the NFT in the creating wallet or a wallet you control.
Not making an initial buy	Without an early buy, sniping bots may capture all early tokens at near-zero cost, which can undermine community trust.
