LaunchLab Ignites Raydium

Raydium, Solana’s largest DEX, just rolled out LaunchLab—an all‑in‑one launchpad that lets anyone spin up a token, seed liquidity, and start trading in minutes. The move lands squarely in the path of Pump.fun, the meme‑coin minting craze that has dominated Solana for months.

“Launch a token, hit 85 SOL, liquidity migrates to Raydium’s AMM instantly,” Raydium wrote in its launch thread.
No migration fees. No gatekeepers. Everything on‑chain.

How LaunchLab works

• JustSendIt mode: Creators mint a token, fund it with 85 SOL in liquidity, and watch it flow straight into Raydium’s AMM pools.
• Any token type: Not limited to memes—utility, governance, gaming, and RWA projects are welcome.
• Direct trading: New assets list instantly on Raydium’s order books, tapping deep liquidity and a broad user base.

Fee flow fuels RAY

Raydium designed LaunchLab to feed its own ecosystem:

Creators can also earn 10 % of trading fees after their tokens “graduate” from the initial pool. Meanwhile, users who refer new projects collect SOL rewards—a powerful word‑of‑mouth incentive.

Competitive heat with Pump.fun

Pump.fun still rules meme‑coin launches. It also launched its own DEX, PumpSwap, sparking an arms race. Raydium now answers with deeper functionality and seamless AMM listing. The rivalry benefits users by lowering costs and adding choices.

Impact on RAY price

The market liked the news. RAY jumped about 10 % after the announcement. Traders see LaunchLab’s fee structure as a steady demand engine for the token. Regular buybacks remove supply, while a thriving launch scene keeps volume high.

Raydium ties token growth directly to platform success.
More launches ➜ more fees ➜ more RAY buybacks.

What builders get

1. Gasless migration: No hidden costs when moving liquidity.
2. On‑chain safety: Immutable smart contracts audit every step.
3. Marketing boost: Immediate placement on Raydium’s home page plus referral hype.

Raydium LaunchLab turns the DEX into a one‑stop shop for token creation on Solana. By cutting friction and funneling fees back to users and the RAY ecosystem, Raydium stakes its claim in the launchpad wars. Pump.fun may have ignited the meme‑coin flame, but Raydium just poured more fuel on the fire—this time for every kind of project. Expect faster launches, fiercer competition, and a livelier Solana landscape in the months ahead.
