How it works
Everyone
bangs at once.
A token goes from a name to a locked pool in four stops. On the way, every trade needs a person behind it, so bots wait at the line.
From a name to a locked pool.
Life of a token
Stop 1
Bang it
Pick a name and a ticker. 1 billion tokens, and nobody can ever make more.
Stop 2
Open
Trading opens for everyone at the same second, with small limits for the first two minutes.
Stop 3
Race
Every buy fills the curve and moves the price up. Every sell moves it back.
Stop 4
Graduate
When the curve sells out, its SOL and tokens move to a Meteora pool, locked forever.
The human check
Every trade has a person behind it.
Until a token graduates, every buy and sell needs a quick human check. It takes a few seconds and is tied to that exact trade.
You press Buy
Buy 0.5 SOL of $FROGThe amount, the token and your wallet go into the request.
A person-check appears
Verified, you’re humanUsually it passes on its own. Suspicious traffic gets a harder one.

Who gets stopped
Bots wait at the line.
They aren’t impossible, just slow and expensive. Here is what each kind runs into.
- snipers
Nobody buys before a person passes the check, and the first two minutes have smaller limits.
- bundlers
Trades have to come straight from a wallet. Other programs can’t call the curve.
- volume bots
One check per trade and a short wait between trades.
- bot farms
Caps per wallet and extra checks on suspicious traffic make farming slow and expensive.
- greedy creators
The creator can buy first at launch, then follows the same limits as everyone.
Default limits
The same limits for everyone.
Every launch starts with these until it graduates. They are enforced on Solana, not by this website, and the token page shows the exact ones.
- 2%
- most one trade can buy
- 5%
- most one wallet can hold from the curve
- 1%
- per wallet in the first two minutes
- ~1 s
- wait between trades from one wallet
After graduation the limits and the check end, and the token trades on Meteora like any other. The pool opens with a 99% fee that drops to about 1% within 30 seconds, so sniping the opening doesn’t pay either.
Fees
Where the fees go.
The creator chooses where their cut goes: straight to their wallet, locked and released over a year, or paid out to the holders. How creator fees work
