LMAO.fun is a next-generation launchpad and trading platform designed to reinvent how memecoins are created, traded, and enjoyed. Our platform enables creators to launch tokens directly to their communities without the need for initial liquidity pools, addressing major issues like rug risks and liquidity transitions. Our anti-rug features safeguard users from common risks by promoting transparency through social verification, allowing users to see who is launching tokens and track their credibility. Additionally, advanced filters enable users to easily search for trending projects based on verified social profiles, transaction histories, and community feedback. Through revenue sharing, we also give back a percentage of Solana collected when a coin launches to top holders and the creator. Together, these features create a safer, more accountable, and transparent environment for both creators and traders. By combining fun and innovation, LMAO.fun is revitalizing the memecoin market, offering advanced trading features, engaging social tools, and new product initiatives to enhance the experience for all participants.
# Our Features {% content-ref url="/pages/D5IAmuZXtHDwwv72EKgH" %} [Bonding Curve Launch](/overview/our-features/bonding-curve-launch) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/WQg5kIVmLwec6UYQKzBy" %} [Revenue Sharing](/overview/our-features/revenue-sharing) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="/pages/rqJZWl0XROJCtUOCBmtA" %} [Social Verification](/overview/our-features/social-verification) {% endcontent-ref %} # Bonding Curve Launch LMAO.fun utilizes a Bonding Curve Launch mechanism that simplifies token launches and allows users to create coins without the need for an initial liquidity pool. A bonding curve is a mathematical pricing model that adjusts the price of a token based on its supply and demand. With this feature, tokens start at a lower price, and as more are purchased, the price increases according to the bonding curve. This enables token creators to raise funds seamlessly without requiring an initial liquidity pool. As demand grows, the bonding curve ensures a natural price progression, mitigating extreme volatility early on and providing fair access for early adopters. Once the token reaches a market cap of 420 SOL, it will be launched on the DEX Raydium under this structure: **Rates:** SOL/USD = 150 | Parameters | SOL | Approx. $ | | ---------------------------- | ----- | --------- | | Bonding Curve Sol Raised | 147.4 | $ 22,110 | | Sol Added to Raydium | 125.9 | $ 18,885 | | Marketcap at Launch | 420 | $ 63,000 | | Top Holders Reward | 6.189 | $ 928.35 | | Creator Reward | 1.5 | $ 225 | | Raydium Costs | 0.79 | $ 118.5 | | LMAO Development | 6.5 | $975 | | LMAO Token Liquidity/Buyback | 6.5 | $975 | The Sol added to Raydium will be paired with 300,000,000 tokens, bringing the total launch liquidity to **$37,770** and a starting marketcap of **$63,000** (at Solana price of $150). {% hint style="info" %} All liquidity will be locked and burned at Raydium launch to prevent rugs. {% endhint %} # Revenue Sharing To incentive users to hold coins rather than **JEET** and to give some sol back to traders, a portion of the sol collected from the bonding curve will be distributed to both the creator and the top holders of the coin **when it launches to Raydium.** | Parameters | SOL | Approx. $ | | ------------------- | ----- | --------- | | Total Revenue Share | 7.689 | $1,088 | | Top Holders Share | 6.189 | $ 879 | | Creator Share | 1.5 | $ 209 | The top holder distribution will be as follows: | Holder | SOL | Approx. $ | | ------ | ------ | ---------- | | 1 | 1.4735 | $209.237 | | 2 | 0.9578 | $136.00405 | | 3 | 0.7368 | $104.6185 | | 4 | 0.3684 | $52.30925 | | 5 | 0.2947 | $41.8474 | | 6 | 0.2947 | $41.8474 | | 7 | 0.2947 | $41.8474 | | 8 | 0.2947 | $41.8474 | | 9 | 0.2947 | $41.8474 | | 10 | 0.1474 | $20.9237 | | 11 | 0.1474 | $20.9237 | | 12 | 0.1474 | $20.9237 | | 13 | 0.1474 | $20.9237 | | 14 | 0.1474 | $20.9237 | | 15 | 0.1474 | $20.9237 | | 16 | 0.0737 | $10.46185 | | 17 | 0.0737 | $10.46185 | | 18 | 0.0737 | $10.46185 | | 19 | 0.0368 | $5.230925 | | 20 | 0.0368 | $5.230925 | | Total | 6.1887 | $878.7954 | # Social Verification LMAO.fun’s **Social Verification** feature allows users to connect their profile to a verified Twitter/X account, adding a layer of trust and transparency to the platform. By linking their social media presence, creators and traders can build credibility within the community, as other users can easily verify who is behind a token launch or trade. This feature helps reduce the risk of scams and rug pulls by allowing users to make more informed decisions based on the public profiles of those they are engaging with. It incentivizes honest behavior and rewards accountability, creating a safer and more transparent environment for everyone on the platform. **Head to "Edit Profile" in the Profile section to Connect your X account!**
