LOOP / DOCUMENTATION
Know the market.
Understand the launch.
A guide to creating tokens through Pump.fun, choosing a quote asset, and reading what happens on-chain.
How It Works
LOOP is a token-launch and discovery interface. You choose a token identity and compatible quote asset; Pump.fun's on-chain programs handle creation and market mechanics. Your connected wallet authorizes the launch.
Create the token
- Connect your wallet. Select a compatible Solana mainnet account. Connecting alone does not create a token or authorize a purchase.
- Choose the identity and quote. Enter a name, ticker and image. Review the quote mint, not just its symbol.
- Set an optional initial buy. Use the selected quote asset, or enter 0 to create without purchasing.
- Review, sign and confirm. Inspect the wallet request. LOOP lists the launch only after verifying successful confirmed execution.
Choose what the token trades against
In TOKEN / USDC, TOKEN is the new base token and USDC is the quote. The studio offers SOL, USDC, a configured list of stock-related tokens, and CUSTOM. Every selected mint remains subject to current quote compatibility.
A market quoted in SOL
Choose SOL for native-SOL creation and an optional SOL-funded purchase. The wrapped-SOL mint identifies this quote in the studio; native SOL is normalized when the launch is resolved.

LOOP resolves quote identity, decimals and the token program before preparing a launch. A recognizable asset or an address in the stock list does not guarantee that the current launch engine supports it.
Pump.fun quote-asset referenceIdentity and metadata
The studio uploads your image and metadata through its existing IPFS storage integration. The resulting metadata URI is included in the creation request. An image or description is informational; it does not establish ownership, authenticity or value.
| Field | Current requirement |
|---|---|
| Name | Required, up to 32 characters. |
| Ticker | Required, up to 10 characters; the studio uppercases typed input. |
| Image | Required: PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 4 MB. |
| Description | Optional, up to 1,000 characters. |
| Website, X, Telegram | Optional HTTPS links, up to 300 characters each. |
Creation and the initial purchase
The current builders use Pump.fun's create_v2 flow and Token-2022 base mints. An initial purchase, when selected, is included in the creation transaction. State changes in that transaction succeed together or revert together on execution failure; network fees may still apply.
Keep SOL for transaction fees and required account deposits even when buying with another quote asset. The current token-quoted initial-buy path uses a versioned transaction and a 1% slippage cap.
Pump.fun creation instructionsReview the wallet request
Check the creator account, token mint, quote asset and purchase amount. LOOP checks the signed message against the prepared launch before submission. Approval, submission and successful execution are separate events.
If confirmation takes longer
Keep the current browser session and use Check launch. The browser retains a pending signed launch for recovery. Inspect the saved signature before attempting another launch; clearing session storage can remove that recovery record.
Solana transaction referenceRead the curve, not a promise
Buys add quote reserves and remove base tokens; sells move them in the opposite direction. Virtual reserves influence pricing, while real reserves describe the tokens available in the curve. Fees, rounding and reserve limits also affect execution.
LOOP calculates progress from the initial real token reserve verified in the creation event and the current real token reserve. Progress is unavailable when the required state cannot be verified. It is not a return, a percentage of market cap, or a guarantee of graduation.
Input is 10% of the starting virtual quote reserve. Both reserves start at 100 illustrative units; the starting price is indexed to 1.
This normalized model has no graduation target. The live token must meet its quote-specific completion conditions and migrate. Moving this slider never changes a token’s actual bonding percentage.
Conceptual reserve quantities illustrate supply available to this model, not a token’s total minted supply. No amounts are denominated in SOL, USDC or another asset. Fees, rounding, actual reserve limits and migration are excluded.
Explore the mathematics
With starting base reserve x₀ and quote reserve y₀, the idealized model keeps x × y constant. The marginal price is y / x. A buy input r = Δy / y₀ gives p₁ / p₀ = (1 + r)². A sell input r = Δx / x₀ gives p₁ / p₀ = 1 / (1 + r)².
Average execution-price impact is |average price / starting price − 1|. This is distinct from the ending spot-price movement. Executable Pump.fun quotes require current state and the SDK’s actual integer calculations.
Completion and graduation are different states
A completed curve can still be awaiting migration. LOOP reports a token as graduated only when on-chain completion and the SDK migration check support that state. There is no single graduation market-cap or SOL threshold stated here for every quote asset.
Liquidity and market data
Market cap and FDV are valuations, not withdrawable liquidity. Available liquidity can change, and external market data may be delayed or absent. LOOP does not infer a liquidity-lock guarantee from a graduation label.
Find a token and inspect its market
The market directory shows confirmed launches with the existing search, quote filters and sort controls. Use a full mint to distinguish tokens with similar identities.
Trading
Token pages link to Pump.fun for trading. The embedded GeckoTerminal chart is a market view, not an order form. Check the destination market and quote before approving a trade.
Price impact and slippage
A trade can move the price because it changes reserves. Prices may also change before execution. A quoted amount or displayed chart does not guarantee the final result.
Fees
The current LOOP builders add no separate fixed LOOP launch-fee payment. Budget separately for the initial purchase, protocol trading fees, SOL network fees and required account deposits.

Percentage of trade amount. Published Pump.fun schedule checked 8 November 2026. This example applies to SOL/USDC bonding curves, not every quote or graduated pool.
PumpSwap canonical pools use market-cap tiers for SOL/USDC; other quote assets follow different schedules. Fees are collected in the pool's quote asset, with routing-specific treatment for multi-pool trades. Rates can change.
Current Pump.fun fee schedule and collection rules| Cost | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Initial purchase | Optional; funded in the selected quote asset. |
| Network & accounts | SOL fees and required account deposits. Review the prepared transaction. |
| Fee collection | LOOP has no fee-claim or cycle-collection action. Protocol entitlements must be checked through the relevant protocol tools. |
A processed transaction can incur network fees even when execution fails. No fixed all-in launch cost is promised.
Solana network feesRewards
Protocol capabilities and features available through LOOP are different things. The current launch flow does not enable a holder-reward program or configure a reward allocation.
| Feature | Current support |
|---|---|
| Holder rewards | No payout totals, active status, cycle records or reward transaction hashes are supplied. The token-page panel shows unavailable states. |
| Trader rewards / cashback | Cashback is disabled in the current launch builders. LOOP provides no trader-reward claim or distribution flow. |
| Buyback & burn | No automated buyback, burn allocation or execution control is implemented. |
Any protocol creator-fee entitlement is separate from a holder reward. Verify the actual token configuration and protocol rules; no reward percentage, frequency or yield is promised by this interface.
Tickers
A ticker is a label. The full mint address identifies the token.
| Rule | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Required input | A non-empty symbol is required, up to 10 characters after trimming. |
| Letter case | The studio converts typed input to uppercase. |
| Duplicate symbols | There is no unique-ticker constraint or reservation check. Different mints can share a symbol. |
| Ticker charges | No separate ticker reservation, duplicate-symbol or premium-name fee is implemented. |
Do not infer authenticity from a familiar name, ticker or image. Compare the full mint in the launch result, wallet activity, explorer and intended trading market.
Risks
Creating or trading a token can result in a partial or total loss. A confirmed launch establishes execution, not token quality, demand or future returns.
- Trading and liquidity
- Prices can move sharply. Thin reserves increase price impact, and displayed valuations do not guarantee an executable exit. Graduation does not guarantee lasting liquidity.
- Tokenized assets and issuers
- A stock-related quote is a separate token. Its backing, custody, redemption, transfer limits and eligibility depend on its issuer. It may lose its relationship to the referenced asset. Pairing a new token with it does not give the new token a claim on shares.
- Programs and infrastructure
- Smart-contract defects, authority changes, network disruption, RPC failures and third-party service outages can affect execution or access. Check the actual on-chain configuration.
- Identity and information
- Metadata can be copied. Market data, charts and images can be incomplete or stale. Verify base and quote mints independently.
Verify before signing
Inspect the requested accounts, assets and amounts in your wallet. Check the transaction's execution result on an explorer. Never enter a seed phrase into a token page or a support message.
Common questions
01Does connecting my wallet launch a token?
No. A launch requires a separate transaction approval and successful on-chain execution. Review the request before signing.
02Can I launch without an initial buy?
Yes. Enter 0 for the initial purchase. You still need SOL for transaction fees and required account deposits.
03Does choosing a stock quote make my new token a stock?
No. The quote is a separate blockchain asset used by the market. Verify its issuer and terms. A trading pair does not establish ownership of underlying shares.
04Why is reward history unavailable?
LOOP does not currently provide holder reward totals or cycle records. An unavailable panel does not establish whether a payment occurred elsewhere.
05Can another token use the same ticker?
LOOP does not reserve tickers or enforce a unique symbol. Use the full mint address to identify a token.
06What should I do if a launch remains pending?
Keep the current browser session and use Check launch. Inspect the saved signature before attempting another launch. A returned signature alone does not prove successful execution.

Contracts
The current application uses existing Solana programs. No separate LOOP-owned program or platform-token mint is configured in the inspected implementation. The addresses below identify integrations, not LOOP-issued contracts.
Program addresses match the constants exported by the installed Pump.fun SDK. Always compare them with the program invoked by the transaction you are reviewing.
