What is Raydium LaunchLab?

Raydium LaunchLab is Raydium's Solana launchpad. New tokens trade on a bonding curve there, then move to a Raydium pool once it fills.

How does Raydium LaunchLab work?

Raydium is one of Solana's main AMMs, and for a long time it was where pump.fun tokens went after graduating. That changed in March 2025, when pump.fun started sending them to its own AMM, PumpSwap. Raydium answered on April 16, 2025 with LaunchLab, its own launchpad for bonding-curve tokens.

LaunchLab is also infrastructure. Creators and third-party front ends can configure a launch, including the curve and the fundraising target. The best known is LetsBonk (bonk.fun), which drove a wave of launches in July 2025 and for a few weeks beat pump.fun on daily launches and volume. When a LaunchLab curve completes, the token moves to a Raydium pool and trades like any other pair.

For a trader, LaunchLab and pump.fun are two venues with the same mechanics. So the checks are the same too: who holds the supply, how fast the curve is filling, whether the top wallets look linked, and what the creator launched before.

Hypothetically, a LaunchLab token fills its curve in two hours and lands in a Raydium pool. Every aggregator can route it through that standard pool. From here price discovery happens in the AMM, and pool depth is the number to watch.

Also called: LaunchLab, Raydium launchpad.

Where does Raydium LaunchLab show up in Cashboard?

Launchpad radar covers LaunchLab next to pump.fun, with curve progress and graduation, and names the front end a LaunchLab token came through when the venue reports it. LaunchLab gives market cap in the curve's quote token, so the USD market cap can be blank. The Raydium pools widget sorts standard and concentrated Raydium pools by volume, liquidity or APR.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Raydium LaunchLab and pump.fun?

Both launch Solana tokens on bonding curves. Graduated LaunchLab tokens move to Raydium pools, and pump.fun tokens move to PumpSwap, pump.fun's own AMM. LaunchLab also lets third-party front ends like LetsBonk run launches on top of it, and each platform sets its own fees.
