feePreset:
On top of the platform’s 1%, you set your own creator fee with
creatorFeeBps: 0.5% to 10% of curve volume, 1% by default. That is the fee the preset above routes.

Read the options
GET /launch-options and look under venues.purps: who may launch, the fee tiers, and the payout assets. The three strategy presets and the airdrop-only config sit at the top level. GET /pairs lists the pairs (SOL is So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112); GET /markets the perp markets and their leverage caps.2
Prepare
POST /launches/prepare with name, symbol, quoteMint, feePreset, creatorWallet and optionally devBuySol, creatorFeeBps and strategy. Sign message with the creator wallet.3
Submit
POST /launches/submit with the same terms, the logo (imageUrl or image), socials, ts and signature. We upload the metadata, build the transactions and record the launch as pending.4
Sign and send
Sign each of
transactions with the creator wallet, and the one at createIndex with the mint keypair from mintSecret as well. POST /transactions/send them one at a time, in order, waiting for each to confirm before the next: when the pair is not SOL and there is a dev buy, the first transaction is a swap the launch spends. If confirmed is false, poll GET /transactions/{signature} until it is.5
Wait for live
Poll
GET /launches/{mint} every few seconds until status is live, usually within half a minute of the create confirming. We watch the chain and flip it ourselves; you do not need to stay online, and if your process dies after sending, the launch still completes. A launch whose transaction never lands turns failed after an hour.What it costs
The creator wallet needs about 0.03 SOL plus the dev buy. A dev buy on a non-SOL pair is converted from SOL by a swap transaction that runs before the launch; it is sized to the swap’s worst-case output so it never spends more than the swap delivers.A strategy launch
WithfeePreset: "strategy", send a strategy object with the terms. It is hashed into the signed message, so it must be sent byte-for-byte the same to submit. The strategy is registered by us the moment the launch goes live; you never come back for a second signature.
The site builds that object from a preset plus your choices. Do the same:
- The three splits and
strategycome straight from a preset’sconfigin/launch-options. Custom values are fine too. perpLegsare your pick from/markets; weights must sum to 10000 across legs.

Paying coins needholderPayoutsEnabledto be true.- No perps at all: send the
airdropOnlyconfig from/launch-optionsand pick the payout the same way.
feePreset: "airdrop" and the airdropOnly strategy are different things. The airdrop preset pays holders straight from the curve’s fees, in the pair token, with no strategy at all. The airdropOnly config is a strategy launch with no perps: every fee buys the coin, or the backed asset you name, and airdrops that.A complete example
Node 20+,npm i @solana/web3.js tweetnacl bs58. Launches a coin paired with SOL that airdrops its fees to holders, from a keypair file.
