Launch Brain
pump.fun launch mechanics, a pre-launch checklist, and live market context.
Honest reality: launch mechanics you can master — but mechanics don't
manufacture success. Across 44 real launches, the graduation rate observed was 0%.
What actually moves a token is real community and inflow, not a perfect launch config.
Use this to execute cleanly, not as a guarantee.
How a pump.fun launch works
Bonding curve
Every coin starts on a bonding curve — price rises automatically as people buy.
At roughly $69k market cap the coin "graduates" to a DEX
(Raydium/Pumpswap) with seeded liquidity. Most coins never graduate.
Fees
~1% trade fee on the curve; creators earn a small share of trading fees on their coin.
Slippage + priority fees apply on every buy/sell — friction is ~2–3% round trip.
Tokenized Agent vs Mayhem
- Tokenized Agent — deterministic hourly buyback-and-burn funded by deposits.
Reduces supply. Predictable (and therefore front-runnable).
- Mayhem — pump.fun's global algorithmic market-maker bot
(wallet
Gygj9Q...8xoq). Single wallet across ALL mayhem coins; 90% win rate;
~$10M/month profit for pump.fun. It accumulates your coin then distributes when profitable.
NOT random — its trades are on-chain TradeEvent logs, readable in real time.
Pauses when MC drops low; reactivates with a 0.05 SOL trigger injection.
Rider strategy: enter while agent is net-buying, exit at or before agent's first sell.
Pre-launch checklist
- Name + ticker — short, memorable, searchable.
- Original art — never reuse an image (John's Rug Screener flags recycled art for a reason).
- Real socials live before launch — X, Telegram, a one-line narrative.
- A genuine reason for the coin to exist — a story, a community, a joke that lands.
- Decide curve settings (Agent / Mayhem / standard) with eyes open on the trade-offs.
- Have an inflow plan — marketing brings buyers; buyers move price. Nothing else does.
