How anchoring works
One coin, held by another.
Your coin is launched against an established one. Its curve is sized to that coin’s pool, priced in it, and every trade pays your holders back in it.
01 · The anchor
50%
of its side, at most, for your raise
Anchor pool
Its pool sets the depth
Any coin with a market. Your raise takes at most 50% of its side of the pool, so filling your curve moves the anchor 4× at most.
02 · Your curve
Sized to it, priced in it
The raise is the smaller of the SOL curve’s 85 SOL in dollars and that share of the anchor’s side. Written on chain at launch, fixed for good.
03 · Paid in the anchor
- Holders0.2%
- Adds liquidity to this coin0.3%
- anchor and Meteora0.75%
Every 1.25% trade, split
Each share in the anchor coin, as the trade pays it: nothing sold to SOL on the way.
A drawing of the rule, not a coin. Every figure is the launch rules’.
Under the hood · one curve per anchor
Every anchor sets its own curve.
Pick any coin and your launch gets a bonding curve built for it: sized from its own pool, priced in it, written on chain when you launch.
Pick a coin above, or paste one, to size its curve.
Two pairs, two curves

The curve
Higher open. Costlier to bundle.
On a thin launch a few buys send the chart flying, and one wallet can take half the curve. Your coin opens about 5× higher than a typical launch, so the first 10% costs over 5× as much. Fixed on chain when the coin launches.

What gets caught, and what it costs
Counts show here once the rules catch someone.
- Bundles
Wallets our rules tie together as one: funded from one wallet, swept to one, or bought in a burst.
Costs themPaid nothing from holder rounds, on that coin and every other coin here.
How it works - Fresh first-slot wallets
Wallets under a day old that buy in an anti-bundle coin’s first slots.
Costs themLeft out of payouts. Their share goes to the holders who stayed.
How it works - Devs who dump or bundle
A dev who sells most of their buy, funds their own first buyers or bundles their coin.
Costs themTheir creator share goes to holders from then on.

New coins on other launchpads launched against an established coin, newest first.
Market · pairable now
Fresh graduates
Coins that left their curve on other launchpads in the last two days. Any of them can be your anchor.
