 Raydium, Solana’s largest decentralized exchange (DEX), is reportedly planning to launch its own token issuance platform, LaunchLab.
</div>
<a href="https://x.com/0xINFRA/status/1902174051461923126" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">According to</a> Raydium’s pseudonymous core contributor, “Infra”, LaunchLab will feature customizable bonding curves, including linear, exponential, and logarithmic pricing models, allowing projects to fine-tune token prices based on market demand. The platform will also enable third-party user interfaces to set their own fee structures, offering greater flexibility for developers and users.
This initiative directly challenges existing platforms like Pump.Fun, a leading Solana token launchpad.
Infra stated that the goal is to empower Solana’s ecosystem, not gatekeep it, by making on-chain token launches easier for teams through a neutral, permissionless infrastructure. They said the platform would “mimic” Pump.Fun’s user interface, but it isn’t a fork.
“It’s not about stealing Pump users,” Infra wrote in their <a href="https://x.com/0xINFRA/status/1902174051461923126" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">X thread</a>. “It’s about enriching Solana.”
However, this development could reshape competition in the DeFi space, especially given Pump. Fun’s<a href="https://x.com/AggrNews/status/1893828729635225600" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> reported development</a> of its own automated market maker (AMM) to reduce reliance on Raydium’s liquidity pools. If successful, this could divert trading fees away from Raydium and strengthen Pump. Fun’s position in the market.
Raydium’s expansion comes as memecoins continue to dominate DEX trading volumes.<a href="https://defillama.com/protocol/pump?groupBy=cumulative" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> According to DeFiLlama</a>, Pump. Fun has generated over $500 million in total swap fees. However, concerns over market stability and liquidity constraints persist.<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2025/03/memecoin-market-stagnates-despite-improved-economic-conditions-matrixport/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Matrixport analysts warn of a potential consolidation phase</a>, citing a 71% drop in Raydium’s total value locked (TVL) and a 37% decline in Solana’s TVL.
Meanwhile, Pump. Fun’s pseudonymous founder, “Alon,” has<a href="https://defi-planet.com/2025/02/pump-fun-founder-calls-for-token-launch-platform-regulations-after-libra-controversy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> called</a> for tighter regulations on token launch platforms following the LIBRA memecoin controversy, where $107 million was drained from its liquidity pool shortly after launch, leading to a market cap collapse.
