Gambar Raydium Unveils LaunchLab: A Bold Move to Challenge Pump.fun’s Reign Over Solana Memecoins!

Jakarta, Pintu News – The crypto world, especially in the Solana ecosystem, is heating up again! Raydium , one of the largest Automated Market Maker (AMM) on the Solana network, officially launched LaunchLab on April 16, 2025.

The new platform is designed to change the way creators launch memecoins, while directly challenging the dominance of Pump.fun, a memecoin pioneer that was previously one of Raydium’s biggest volume contributors.

LaunchLab: All-in-One Solution for Token Makers

For Creators: Custom Token Launch Features

Launching on April 16, 2025, LaunchLab is a token launchpad platform that allows anyone to create tokens on Solana with just a few clicks.

Through the “JustSendIt” mode, users can print tokens, collect 85 SOL (approximately Rp1.4 billion), and instantly enjoy automated liquidity on Raydium’s Automated Market Maker (AMM).

Unlike Pump.fun which only offers minimalist design options and no tokenomic control, LaunchLab comes with advanced features such as:

Supply and sales curve adjustment
Vesting scheme and wallet delegation
“Burn & Earn” option to earn fees from locked liquidity
No token migration fees
10% income from trading fees after token “pass”

Raydium also introduced a 1% fee system, where:

50% entry to the Community Pool
25% for $RAY token buyback
25% support for Raydium infrastructure operations

Not only that, there is also a referral program that allows users to earn 0.1% of the swap volume as direct passive income in the form of SOLs.

Fierce Competition with Pump.fun and PumpSwap

Raydium took this step after their relationship with Pump.fun soured. Pump.fun, which previously contributed large volumes to Raydium, has now broken away and launched its own DEX, PumpSwap.

Since its release, PumpSwap has recorded fantastic daily trading volumes, reaching over $460 million, and has processed a total of $7.3 billion worth of transactions.

Pump.fun is known for making the process of launching memecoins super simple, so it went viral quickly.

However, the limitations of control and tokenomics have led many memecoin creators to look for more flexible alternatives. This is where LaunchLab comes in to fill that gap.

Market Reaction: $RAY Token Soars, Community Excited

The launch of LaunchLab had an immediate impact on the Raydium token ($RAY), which briefly surged by 14% to $2.41 before correcting back to around $2.21. Trading volume also increased sharply, as community interest in the new token project emerged from LaunchLab.

Currently, at least 10 new tokens on LaunchLab have crossed the 85 SOL threshold and officially entered Raydium’s AMM, signaling quite aggressive early adoption.

Overall, with LaunchLab, Raydium is not only launching a new platform, but also starting a new chapter in the Solana token ecosystem. On the one hand there is the fast, viral and lightweight Pump.fun.

On the other hand, LaunchLab comes as a complete solution for serious creators who want to build tokens with strong fundamentals. The war between Raydium and Pump.fun has begun – and the Solana community will decide the winner!
