LaunchMemes Fees Explained
Updated 2026-10-07 · 5 min read
LaunchMemes uses different fee models for Fair Launch NEXT, direct token creation and supported external-token swaps. The numbers make sense once those products are kept separate.
Fair Launch NEXT creation fee
- LaunchMemes creation fee: 0 SOL.
- Solana network fees and account rent/account-creation costs can still apply.
- Optional Initial Buy is a token purchase, not a platform fee.
Before graduation: 2% trading fee
- Creator Rewards: 1.20%.
- LaunchMemes: 0.40%.
- Meteora: 0.40%.
- Total: 2.00%.
After graduation: 2% trading fee
- Compounding/reinvestment: 0.50%.
- Creator Rewards: 1.20%.
- LaunchMemes: 0.30%.
- Total: 2.00%.
Fee Sharing does not change the total fee
When enabled, Fee Sharing divides only the 1.20% Creator Rewards portion between eligible wallets. It does not increase the total trading fee and does not split the Meteora, LaunchMemes or compounding portions.
Direct Create Token
- LaunchMemes platform fee: 0.01 SOL.
- Displayed network/account estimate: ~0.02 SOL.
- Actual network/account costs can vary.
External-token trading through Jupiter
When applicable, supported Jupiter-routed swaps for tokens not launched by LaunchMemes can include a 0.5% LaunchMemes platform fee. This external-token fee should not be added on top of the existing LaunchMemes launch-market fee model for LaunchMemes-launched tokens.
Network costs are separate
Solana transaction fees and account creation/rent are blockchain costs, not the same thing as a LaunchMemes platform fee. Always review the final wallet transaction before signing.
