launching a token
anyone with a connected wallet can launch. there's no permission system. the launch form is three steps.
§the curve, pinned
every token on hehe.fun ships with the same curve. creators don't get dials. uniform liquidity profile across the platform, fewer mistakes, smaller attack surface.
these parameters are constants in the launch flow. they're frozen on-chain at launch and can never change for that token. if we ever ship a new curve preset, past tokens keep theirs.
§the steps
1. identity
- name — display name, ~30 chars
- ticker —
$XXXX, max 8 chars - description — one sentence. less is more.
- image — square asset upload (PNG/JPG/WEBP, ≤ 2 MB, IPFS-hosted via Pinata)
2. curve
- read-only summary of the pinned curve params (see above)
- read-only fee breakdown (
1.60%stakers +0.20%creator +0.20%treasury +0.5%Meteora protocol =2.5%total) - initial buy (optional) — seed the curve with your own buy in the same TX; blank means 0
3. review
final preview card. one click to sign and broadcast.
§what gets deployed
at launch, the platform calls Meteora DBC's program with your config. that:
- creates a new SPL token mint
- initializes a DBC
VirtualPool(the bonding curve) with the pinned config - mints the curve allocation directly into the pool
- registers your wallet as the launching creator (recipient of
10%of our2.0%partner cut on every trade, paid via the fee-distribution program)
your wallet pays:
0.02 SOLflat launch fee to hehe.fun treasury (covers infra + ops)- SPL mint rent (~
0.005 SOL) — chain unavoidable - gas — minimal
- Jito tip (~
0.002 SOL) — only if you set an initial buy; the launch + buy are bundled atomically into the same slot
no percentage of supply taken, no tier upgrades, no listing fee beyond the flat 0.02. confirmed in fee routing →.
mint addresses end in hehe — we pre-grind a vanity pool server-side so launches don't wait on CPU.
§what creators earn
creators earn 10% of our 2.0% partner cut on every trade — 0.20% of trade value, perpetually, starting from the first curve trade and continuing forever after graduation.
at $100k/day volume, that's $200/day of perpetual claimable income. there is no NFT to transfer — the entitlement is keyed to the launch address by our distribution program at deploy.
what creators do NOT earn on hehe.fun
- a larger per-trade royalty. we route through one program with one
80/10/10split so the math stays the same across curve and post-graduation. if you want a fatter creator slice during the curve, you should launch on a platform that prioritizes it. we explain the reasoning → - transferable Fee Key NFT. our scheme keys creator income to the launch address directly, not to an NFT. simpler accounting, fewer moving parts.
§what creators can do as creators
- earn the perpetual
0.20%creator slice on every trade - stake any tokens you bought during the launch like any other holder
§what creators cannot do
once a token is launched, the creator has the same on-chain powers any external wallet has — no more, no less. they cannot:
- pause trades
- mint more tokens after launch
- modify fee rates
- block specific wallets
- change vesting schedules
- override the bonding curve
the contract is immutable post-deploy. that's by design — it removes you as a centralized risk for your token's holders.
