Launch on Solana, stacked on PancakeSwap
How PancakeLaunch creates a token, seeds it into locked PancakeSwap CLMM pools and shares its transfer tax, and what to check before you launch or trade.
Overview
PancakeLaunch launches a new Solana token straight into PancakeSwap's Solana CLMM pools. There is no bonding curve and no graduation: the token trades on PancakeSwap from its first second, paired with one asset of the creator's choice: SOL, a tokenized stock (xStocks such as AAPL, TSLA, NVDA or SPY), a listed coin, or any token by contract address that passes the checks.
The liquidity is locked at launch: the position is held by the launch controller, which has no instruction that withdraws it, so neither the creator nor this site can pull it. Every transfer of the token pays a small transfer tax, and the creator can take a share of it.

The launchpad program is not deployed yet, so launches and trades are simulated. Nothing is signed and no funds move.Real today
- Browsing tokens, token pages, charts and stats.
- Sign-in with Phantom (one message signature, no transaction).
- Pair-asset checks: a pasted mint is read live from Solana mainnet.
- The public API, which returns the launches recorded here.
Simulated
- Launches: recorded by the site, no mint is created on chain.
- Trades and fee claims: recorded, and they move the simulated prices.
- Phantom is never asked to sign a transaction and no SOL is spent.
Launching a token
Connect Phantom
Phantom is the only wallet. On a phone, open the site inside Phantom's own browser.Token details
A name, a ticker, an optional description and links, and a square image (500 × 500 px works best). They are written once and cannot be changed later.Choose the pair
One token, one pool. Pair it with SOL, a tokenized stock (xStocks: AAPL, TSLA, NVDA, SPY and more), a listed coin such as USDC or CAKE, or paste any token's contract address; pasted tokens are checked on Solana first, and look-alikes of listed tickers are flagged.Creator fee and first buy
Choose your creator fee: 0%, 1% or 2%, on top of the protocol's 1%. It is fixed at launch. The launch includes a first buy of at least 0.01 SOL, so the token has a first trade from the start.Approve in Phantom
A launch spans several transactions. Phantom asks once per step, and the site sends each step after the previous one has landed.
Pools and liquidity
Each pool is a PancakeSwap CLMM pool (concentrated liquidity, a fork of Raydium's CLMM). The launch opens it with a single-sided position that starts at the launch price and covers every price above it, so at launch it holds only the new token; buyers swap the pair asset in as the price rises.
Every launch also seeds a tiny Meteora pool with 0.01% of the supply, its liquidity permanently locked, so DexScreener lists the token from its first minute.
Every position is locked in the launch transaction: its NFT belongs to the launch's own program account, and the controller program has no instruction that withdraws liquidity. The controller is upgradeable while it is young, so bugs can be fixed; its upgrade authority is the protocol's, shown on-chain for anyone to check. The pools keep trading on PancakeSwap and anywhere that routes through it, whatever happens to this site.

Fees
Every PancakeLaunch token is a Token-2022 mint with an immutable transfer tax: the protocol's 1% plus the creator's choice of 0%, 1% or 2%. It applies to every transfer: buys, sells, wallet-to-wallet transfers and fee claims. The PancakeSwap pool itself trades at the 0.01% fee tier, so the tax is almost the whole cost of a trade.
| Creator fee | Total transfer tax | Creator earns, per $1,000 traded |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 1% (1% protocol + 0% creator) | $0.00 in tokens |
| 1%Default | 2% (1% protocol + 1% creator) | $10.00 in tokens |
| 2% | 3% (1% protocol + 2% creator) | $20.00 in tokens |
The tax is withheld in the token itself, in the accounts that receive it. A harvest (Collect on the token page; anyone can run it, and the protocol's keeper does so regularly) moves it into the launch's custody and splits it:
- The creator's share waits for the creator to Claim it from the token page, paid to the connected creator wallet in the token. A claim is a transfer, so it pays the tax too.
- Or, if the creator chose holders at launch, the protocol distributes the creator's share to everyone holding the token, in proportion to their balances. This needs a creator fee above 0%.
- The protocol's share is converted to the pair asset by the protocol's keeper.
Setup refund
For launches paired with SOL: once the token holds a $50K total-supply valuation for 5 minutes, its setup cost (at most 1 SOL, attested by the protocol) is refunded to the creator once, out of that token's own protocol fees. Tokens paired with a stock or any other token get no setup refund.Risks
Read before you launch or trade
- The launchpad has not been independently audited.
- Anyone can launch a token here. Prices can fall to zero, and most new tokens lose value.
- Launched liquidity can never be withdrawn, by anyone.
- Every transfer of a PancakeLaunch token pays its transfer tax (1% to 3%), sells and wallet transfers included. Check a token's tax on its page before you trade.
- Pair assets can carry their issuer's controls: Token-2022 transfer fees, a freeze authority, a permanent delegate that can move balances. Pairs with a transfer fee above 10% or a transfer hook are refused.
- The site shows the warnings it can read from the chain, but it cannot vouch for any token, launched or paired.
Nothing on this site is financial advice.

FAQ
Can I take the liquidity back out later?+
No. The position is held by the launch controller, which has no instruction that withdraws liquidity: nobody, including you and this site, can pull it. (The controller program is upgradeable while it is young; its upgrade authority is public on-chain.)
Why a first buy?+
A pool with no trade has no price history, and terminals and trackers do not pick it up. The first buy (at least 0.01 SOL) gives the token a first trade from the moment it exists.
Can I change the name, ticker or image after launch?+
No. The Metaplex metadata is created immutable, so what you launch with is what the token keeps.
What does a launch cost?+
The network rent for the mint, the pools and the positions, the transaction fees, and your first buy. The create page shows an estimate before Phantom asks you to approve anything. SOL-paired launches get the setup cost back (up to 1 SOL) once the token holds a $50K valuation for 5 minutes.
Why was the token I pasted refused as a pair?+
Pasted mints are read from the chain first. A transfer fee above 10%, a transfer hook, a non-transferable mint or accounts frozen by default make a pool unusable, so the pair is refused.
How do I claim my fees?+
Open the token’s page while connected with the creator wallet. Collect harvests the withheld tax so your share becomes claimable; Claim pays it to your wallet in the token (the claim pays the transfer tax too).
Why do I receive fewer tokens than the pool price suggests?+
Every transfer of a PancakeLaunch token pays its transfer tax (the protocol’s 1% plus the creator’s share), and a buy is a transfer to your wallet. The trade panel shows the tax, and its quote already takes it out.
Where does my token trade?+
On its page here, on PancakeSwap’s own interface, and through any aggregator that routes through PancakeSwap’s Solana pools.
Which wallets are supported?+
Phantom only, on desktop as an extension or on a phone through Phantom’s in-app browser.
