How token launches work

Launches run on Pump.fun’s bonding curve, paired with SOL, from your own wallet.

The launch terminal creates a real Pump.fun token with the official Pump.fun SDK (the `create_v2` instruction). You sign the transaction with your own wallet. The Frontier never holds your keys or your tokens.

• Identity: name (2–32 characters), ticker (2–8 letters or digits), image (required, under 5 MB), description.
• Links: website, X, Telegram. Discord and a banner image are shown on The Frontier; Pump.fun’s own metadata has no field for them.
• Territory: the state your token belongs to. It cannot be changed later.
• Pair: SOL. Every Frontier token trades against SOL on Pump.fun’s curve.
• Dev buy: optional. Buys your first tokens in the same transaction as the launch, so nobody can buy ahead of you.

Image and metadata are stored on IPFS. Once the transaction confirms, The Frontier checks on-chain that it succeeded, that your wallet paid for it, and that its creator rewards go to the Treasury. Only then does the token appear on the map.

One ticker per state. The same ticker can exist in two different states.
