Launching a Token

How to launch a token on Jupiter Studio: modes, configuration, and anti-sniper protection.

Launching a Token

Launch flow

The launch process has three steps.

1. Basics

   Connect your wallet on studio.jup.ag. This wallet becomes your deployer wallet and is used to claim fees later.

   Choose a launch mode: Meme (preconfigured) or Custom (adjustable parameters). See details below.

   Enter your token info: image, name, and symbol.

   You can use the Magic Gen button to auto-generate token info.

2. Enhance

   Review your launch configuration. This screen shows a recap of your settings, the token supply breakdown, and the estimated amount raised before graduation.

   You can also:

   • Upload a header banner for your token page (or generate one).
   • Write a description for your token.
   • Add social links (optional).

   If you need to change settings, click Customize Settings to go back.

3. Share

   Confirm and launch. Your token is immediately live on the bonding curve.

Launch modes

Meme mode

Meme mode uses fixed parameters designed for community token launches. No configuration is needed beyond basic token info (name, symbol, image).

Setting	Value
Quote token	USDC
Initial market cap	5,000 USDC
Graduation market cap	75,000 USDC
Estimated amount raised before graduation	~15,390 USDC
Anti-sniping	Enabled
Creator vesting	None

Token supply breakdown (meme mode):

Category	Tokens	Percentage
Bonding Supply (sold on curve)	795,000,000	79%
Migrating Supply (moved to LP at graduation)	205,000,000	21%

Custom mode

Custom mode lets creators adjust the launch parameters. The token allocation and estimated raise update in real time as you change settings.

Curve settings:

Parameter	Description	Constraints
Quote token	Token used to buy on the curve.	SOL or USDC.
Initial market cap	Starting market cap of the token at launch.	No hard min/max, but the raised amount must be at least 15,000 USDC or equivalent in SOL.
Graduation market cap	Market cap threshold that triggers graduation.	Same constraint: raised amount must reach at least 15,000 USDC or equivalent in SOL.
Anti-sniping	Toggle anti-sniper protection on or off.	On or off.
Transaction fees	Fee charged on every transaction.	1% by default.

Vesting settings:

Parameter	Description	Options
Supply vested	Percentage of token supply allocated to the creator, subject to vesting.	0% to 80%.
Vesting duration	How long the vesting period lasts.	6 months or 12 months.
Vesting frequency	How often vested tokens unlock.	Daily by default.
Cliff	Initial period before any vested tokens begin unlocking.	None, 6 months, or 12 months.

The Studio UI displays the token supply breakdown and estimated amount raised before graduation in real time as you adjust parameters.

Creator vesting parameters are set at launch and cannot be changed afterward. Vested tokens unlock according to the schedule you configure. Choose carefully.

Anti-sniper protection

Studio includes built-in anti-sniper protection to reduce the advantage of bots buying immediately after launch.

How it works:

An additional fee is applied to all buy transactions immediately after launch. This fee starts at 99% and decreases to 0% over a randomized period between 15 and 60 seconds. The randomized duration is set per launch.

The anti-sniper fee is added on top of the standard 1% trading fee. It is credited entirely to the creator.

Visibility:

• The jup.ag trading interface displays a warning when anti-sniper fees are active on a token.
• The exact randomized duration is not shown in the UI but can be read on-chain from the launch transaction.

If you buy a token in the first seconds after launch, you may pay a significantly higher fee due to anti-sniper protection. Wait for the warning on jup.ag to disappear before buying if you want to avoid this.
