LaunchLab: Raydium Makes Its Memecoin Move
Two weeks after launch, Raydium’s LaunchLab is gaining traction as it looks to lure Pump’s users with new incentives and features. The key question remains: will it build lasting momentum — or fade quickly à la SunPump?
Preview
TLDR
- Raydium launched LaunchLab to reclaim memecoin market share from Pump.fun (Pump), aiming to attract token creators with flexibility, better economics, and deep liquidity.
- LaunchLab differentiates itself with customizable bonding curves, creator fee shares, and referral rewards, offering creators a more financially appealing environment than Pump.
- Pump’s cultural dominance remains strong, but LaunchLab’s incentives and builder tools could carve out a user base if it maintains momentum.
- The battle will hinge on incentives, user acquisition, and community momentum, with LaunchLab needing to prove it can attract the same viral, degen-driven energy Pump currently commands.
