Launchpad: a Solana token for $5, live on-chain
The launch page — name your token, send one deposit (the on-chain deploy cost + flat $5 fee, quoted in SOL) to a one-time deposit address, and the server deploys a real Meteora pool itself. No connect, no extension, no signature to fumble.
The launchpad is the public-facing version of a HostDeFi launch: one page for creating a token, built for creators who shouldn't need to understand wallet plumbing to ship. There's no connect button and no extension requirement — the page shows a deposit address, and the moment the deposit lands the deploy executes itself.
The deposit model, end to end
Each launch order gets an ephemeral deposit address generated just for it. The deposit (as of September 2026) is quoted in SOL at creation — it carries the on-chain deploy cost plus a flat $5 fee, so the launch pays for itself end to end. Send it from any wallet or exchange and the server does the rest: the token mint and a live Meteora bonding-curve pool go on-chain in a single transaction. From the creator's side the whole flow is: name it, send one deposit, watch it trade.
What $5 buys
A real on-chain pool — not a staging page. A disclosed market maker — the platform keeper — trades the curve from the first second with constant small buy-biased buys and sells on-chain, keeping fresh launches liquid and steadily rising; and when the bonding curve completes the keeper migrates it to locked Meteora DAMM liquidity automatically, claims the creator fees and forwards the LP positions to the platform wallet. The first hour trades under an anti-snipe fee that decays from 20% to a flat 1%.
One page, two doors
It's the same $5 lane the app's create-launch surface runs — literally the same page: /launchpad/ and /create-launch resolve to the identical launch view inside the app, so a shared link and a typed URL land on the same deposit funnel.
Deposit-model honesty: sending funds to a deposit address is the simplest flow and the least reversible — the server executes on your deposit, so the trust boundary is HostDeFi's execution itself. Verify the launch page you arrived on is the real one before sending anything; the contract-verification guide is the discipline for that.
The launch, reduced to one step
Send the launch deposit (deploy + $5 fee) in SOL to the order address — the deploy executes itself on-chain. No connect, no signature, no extension.
Frequently asked
How does a launch work?
Pick a name and symbol, then send the launch deposit — deploy cost + flat $5 fee, quoted in SOL at creation — to the one-time deposit address the page shows. The server watches it and deploys a real Meteora pool on-chain the moment the deposit lands. No wallet connect, no browser extension, no transaction to sign.
What does the $5 cover?
The full deploy: token mint plus a live Meteora bonding-curve pool, created on-chain in one transaction — and the ops keeper that migrates a completed curve to locked DAMM liquidity on its own.
Where does the liquidity go at graduation?
When the bonding curve completes it migrates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool automatically, and the majority of the LP positions are permanently locked — routed to the platform wallet.
Is the launchpad the same page as create-launch?
Yes — /launchpad/ and /create-launch resolve to the identical launch view inside the app: the same $5 lane, the same one-deposit funnel.
