Launching a token on StonkFun

The launch form is short, but several of its choices are permanent. Here is what each one does, taken from the live launch page and the platform's API documentation.

Short answer

A launch creates a fixed one-billion supply token with a one-sided Raydium market against a quote token you pick. You choose a fee mode before signing: a standard 1% pool (creator 0.5%, platform 0.5%), a 2% pool (creator 1.5%, platform 0.5%), or reward mode, where a 1% or 3% transfer tax pays holders instead of paying the creator.

What the launch form asks for

Field	Constraint (as shown on the launch page)	Permanent?
Token name	Up to 32 characters	Yes — stored in token metadata
Symbol	Up to 10 characters	Yes
Token image	PNG, JPEG or WebP, square, up to 2 MB	Stored on Arweave
Project links	Optional X and Telegram. The website field links to StonkFun unless you set one.	Saved in metadata
Quote token	One of the listed categories, or a custom mint	Yes — defines the market
Pool fee	1% or 2%	Yes — set at launch

The launch summary shown before signing states a starting market cap of $5,000, a supply of one billion, and that liquidity is permanently locked using Raydium's Burn & Earn. The launch cost itself is calculated live in the form; we do not quote a fixed figure here because it is priced at the time you launch.

Choosing a fee mode

Mode	Pool fee	Creator earns	Holders receive
Standard, 1% pool	1%	0.5% of every trade	Nothing from fees
Standard, 2% pool	2%	1.5% of every trade	Nothing from fees
Reward mode	1% pool	No creator fee position	1% or 3% transfer tax, paid pro-rata in the quote token

The platform keeps 0.5% in every case. Reward-mode payouts are described as arriving in the asset the token is paired against, on every transfer and on any venue. StonkFun's rewards page showed no distributions recorded at the time we checked, so treat the mechanism as documented rather than demonstrated.

The steps

A square image under the size limit, a name within 32 characters and a symbol within 10. Metadata is permanent, so proofread before signing.

Unverified and unknown

We have not launched a token ourselves, so nothing here is a hands-on test. Items we could not verify: the exact launch cost in SOL at any given moment (Unknown / not verified), whether every quote category has live options at the time you read this (Unknown / not verified), and any moderation or takedown policy for launched tokens (Unknown / not verified).

Is there an API for launching?

Yes. The documented flow is two calls — prepare returns an unsigned payment transaction, submit accepts it after your wallet signs. There are no API keys; the signature is the authorisation.

Can I set a custom website link on my token?

The launch page states every launch links to StonkFun by default and that leaving the field blank links there; a custom website field is offered in the form. Confirm current behaviour on the live page before you rely on it.

Can I change the supply or add tokens later?

Supply is described as fixed at one billion. Treat it as unchangeable and design your distribution around that.
