Quickstart
This page walks through a launch with the numbers you would use. Open the launch page next to it.
1. Pick the basics
| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Moonlit Cat | 32 characters at most |
| Ticker | MCAT | 10 characters at most |
| Logo and metadata | PNG, JSON | Pinned once and used on both chains |
2. Set the Pons creator fee
One fee between 0 and 10 % on the Pons side, 1 % by default. It is the Pons creator tax and is paid by traders on top of Pons's 1 % curve fee. The pump.fun side has a fixed 0.3 % creator fee, shared on-chain.
3. Choose the band
The band is how far apart the two prices in dollars may drift before the maker acts. The default is ±5 %. A tighter band costs more in fees because the maker trades more often. A wider band lets traders see a spread.
The band should not be tighter than half the round-trip fees across both chains. The launch page flags a band that is.
4. Make the deposit
One deposit in SOL from one wallet. It pays for:
- the pump.fun creation,
- the alignment buy, about 4.8 SOL at today's rate,
- a small buffer.
The launch page shows the minimum for your settings. The maker's own cash, about $5,000 per coin, comes from the pad's pool, half in SOL on Solana and half in ETH on Robinhood Chain, so you never need a second wallet.
5. Optional: a Robinhood payout address
If you give an EVM address and a share, that share of the Pons creator tax is paid to it. Leave it empty and all of it goes to the pool.
6. Rehearse, then request
Press Rehearse the launch. Each of the six steps lights up with the exact call and your numbers. Nothing is sent from your wallet during a rehearsal.
When the keeper API is online, the launch page adds a second step: you enter your Solana address, press Request the deposit address, and get an address, an amount in SOL and a reference to put in the Memo. The page then follows the launch step by step. Until the keeper is online, only the rehearsal is available.
After the launch
- Both token addresses and the vault address are listed on the coin's page.
- pump.fun creator fees accumulate for you on pump.fun and can be claimed there.
- The keeper runs the band. You do not have to do anything.
