Chains & launchpads
Which chains and launchpads VortexDeployer supports, what each one is priced in, and what differs between chains.
VortexDeployer works on two chains: Solana and Robinhood Chain. Each launch goes to one launchpad. You pick it in the first step of the launch wizard.
Chains#
- Solana — you pay in SOL. Most launchpads and all tasks are here. Transactions open on solscan.
- Robinhood (Robinhood Chain) — you pay in ETH. The pons launchpad is here. Transactions open on rh-scan.
Every wallet belongs to one chain. When you create or import a wallet, you pick its chain. Solana is the default.
Launchpads#
The Quote is what the token's bonding curve is priced in. If a launchpad offers only one quote, the picker tells you.
| Launchpad | Chain | Quote choices | After graduation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pump.fun | Solana | SOL, USDC, Custom pairs | PumpSwap |
| LaunchLab (Raydium) | Solana | SOL, USD1 | Raydium |
| Bonk (letsbonk.fun) | Solana | SOL, USD1 | Raydium |
| Bonkers | Solana | SOL, USD1 | Raydium |
| StonkFun | Solana | a tokenized stock | Raydium |
| Bags | Solana | SOL | Meteora |
| pons | Robinhood | ETH, USDG, a tokenized stock | Uniswap V4 |
Graduation is when a token's curve fills up and trading moves to a normal pool. The bottom bar shows the market cap where pump.fun and pons tokens graduate.
Launchpad options#
- Custom pairs — price the curve in a tokenized stock from pump.fun's list, or in another pump.fun coin. See Pair tokens.
- Mode — Classic or Mayhem. Mayhem needs a SOL or USDC quote.
- Fees — Creator Fees or Holder Rewards. With Holder Rewards, pump.fun pays the creator fees to eligible holders. A holder must hold more than $20 worth. This choice is permanent.
- Custom-pair fee (%) — for custom pairs, from 0.01% to 3%. It is final at launch.
- Mode — Standard, Reward, or Community where the stock offers it.
- Tax — 1% or 3%, for Reward and Community. It is taken on every transfer of your token. Reward pays it out to your token's holders. Community splits it between the stock's holders and your token's holders.
- Creator fees — who gets the creator share of each trade: Creator wallet, Holders or Custom address. You also set the creator Tax.
- Buyback — the platform share buys your token back off the curve.
- With a pair token, each wallet's ETH is swapped into that token right before the launch. The swap pays a 1% router fee.
See Launch settings for every option.
What differs between chains#
- Tasks — Bundle, Hand Switcher, Fake Volume and Migrate & Buy run on Solana only.
- Wallet tools — Convert and Claim cashback work on Solana only.
- Platform fee — on Solana it is paid inside your trade. On Robinhood Chain it is a separate ETH transfer, and fees under $1 are added up and paid later. See Platform fees & tiers.
- One transaction at a time — a Robinhood Chain wallet sends one transaction at a time. A second one sent before the first lands is refused. Try again a moment later.
For SOL quotes, pump.fun custom pairs and StonkFun, the dev buy spends SOL. For USDC or USD1 quotes, the creator wallet must hold that coin. On pons, the dev buy spends ETH. With a pair token, that ETH is swapped first.
