Raydium, the decentralized exchange (DEX) and automated market maker (AMM) built on Solana, is set to introduce a new token launchpad called LaunchLab, which will function similarly to the popular Pump.fun platform.
LaunchLab: Raydiumâs Response to Pump.fun
LaunchLab will provide a variety of bonding curvesâlinear, exponential, and logarithmicâthat align token demand with price dynamics. Additionally, it will allow third-party user interfaces (UIs) to set their own fee structures.
In addition to offering innovative bonding curves and customizable fees, LaunchLab will support a range of quote tokens beyond SOL and integrate with Raydiumâs liquidity provider locker, which ensures perpetual swap fees for token issuers. LaunchLab is just the first component of a larger âsuite of toolsâ Raydium is developing for token creation.
Even though pump.fun memecoins have accounted for 41% of Raydiumâs swap fee revenue in the last month, Raydiumâs native token saw a 25% drop in February, as investors are concerned that Raydiumâs revenue could decline significantly once pump.fun starts migrating tokens to its own AMM.
An anonymous Raydium core contributor, Infra, revealed that the development of LaunchLab began âseveral months ago,â but the project was paused to avoid competing directly with other teams. However, after learning about pump.funâs AMM plans, Raydium believes that pump.fun has found product-market fit, partly due to the use of Raydiumâs infrastructure. Still, Infra emphasized that LaunchLab isnât intended to replace pump.fun.
âLaunchLab is not about replacing Pump or any other platformâitâs an alternative for teams that donât want to build from scratch, and for Pump users who prefer Raydiumâs AMM v4 for migrating pools,â Infra explained.
