04Launching a coinLaunching takes one form, one signature and one transaction.

The three steps below run together. Either all of them happen or none do. When they have, the coin trades on Meteora and its 100 shares are open for minting.

ONE TRANSACTION, ONE SIGNATURE1CREATEMETEORA2HAND OVERMETEORA3REGISTERHUNDRED
  1. 1Meteora creates the coin and its pool. The coin trades on a bonding curve from this moment.
  2. 2Meteora hands the pool’s creator role from you to the coin’s account in the program, which has no instruction for handing it on.
  3. 3Hundred registers the coin. The share price is set and the NFT collection for its 100 shares is created.

What the transaction does

The three steps in the picture run as one transaction. Either all of them happen or none of them do, so there is never a moment where the coin exists and its creator fees still belong to a person.

The hand-over is what makes the rest of these pages true. Meteora pays creator fees to whoever is the pool’s creator. After launch that is an account only the program can sign for, and the program has no instruction that hands the role on.

Checked in the proof run

  • The launch fit in one transaction: 825 of the 1,232 bytes a transaction may use.
  • Afterwards, the creator of the Meteora pool was the program’s coin account, not a person.
  • Registering a coin whose creator role had not been handed over was refused.

What it costs, and what you get

About 0.035 SOL, all of it deposits the Solana network asks for when new accounts are created. The platform charges nothing to launch.

You get no coins and no shares. What you get is the fees of every share nobody has minted yet, which at launch is all 100. If you want coins, buy them. If you want shares, mint them like anyone else.
