Launch a coin
Create a fixed-supply coin on Meteora's bonding curve.
- The coin, its curve and Desk's fee are one transaction.
- Your optional first buy lands in the same transaction.
Start here
One mechanism: a launchpad that creates every coin on Meteora's bonding curve, on Desk's own configuration, and follows it into its Meteora pool.
What Desk is
Desk launches coins on Solana. Each coin starts on a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve: buyers bring SOL, the price rises along the curve, and when 85 SOL has gone in, Meteora moves the coin into its own DAMM v2 pool with its liquidity locked. Desk does not hold the coins, the SOL or the pool; Meteora's programs do.
Everything is self-custodial: a launch, a buy, a sell or an airdrop is a transaction your wallet signs, and it goes straight to Solana. Desk builds the transaction and shows it to you; it cannot sign for you.
Desk earns two ways: a 0.1 SOL fee inside each launch transaction, and its share of every swap's trading fee, written into its Meteora configuration. Both are public: see Fees.
Trade a coin
Buy and sell against SOL, on the curve or in the pool.
- Every coin is quoted in SOL.
- Your wallet signs every trade; Desk never holds funds.
Pools
Where a coin trades after its curve completes.
- Meteora creates the pool and locks its liquidity.
- Desk shows every pool and its volume.
Fees
What a launch and a swap cost, and who receives it.
- 0.1 SOL per launch, rent and network fee included.
- A 1% fee on every swap.
Migration
How a coin moves from its curve to its pool.
- At 85 SOL in the curve.
- Done by Meteora, automatically.
Integration
Read Desk's markets from your own code.
- A public JSON API, cached at the edge.
- Everything it says can be checked on chain.
Contracts
The programs and addresses Desk uses.
- Meteora's programs; Desk's config.
- Every address opens on Solscan.
Risks
