One payment, one coin, in seconds.
Longbow is a launchpad for pump.fun coins on Solana. Fill one form, pay 0.1 SOL once, and Longbow's launch wallet creates your coin on pump.fun through PumpPortal within seconds. Every coin is a standard pump.fun coin. One payment. One coin.
1. Overview
Longbow is precision launch infrastructure for pump.fun. It is a launchpad for pump.fun coins on Solana, and at its core is the launch engine: the part that takes your form and your payment and turns them into a live coin on pump.fun.
What sets Longbow apart is what happens between your click and your coin. You pay 0.1 SOL once, in one transaction, to Longbow's launch wallet. The page checks the amount and the destination of that payment before your wallet signs. The launch wallet then creates the coin on pump.fun through PumpPortal, within seconds.
Every launch has its mint address fixed in advance from its own key, so a retry can never create a second coin. pump.fun's own create cost, about 0.02 SOL, is paid by Longbow out of the fee, so the launcher pays 0.1 SOL and not more.
Once a coin is live it is a standard pump.fun coin: it trades on pump.fun's bonding curve and graduates to PumpSwap when the curve fills. Longbow's board follows every coin from its first trade to graduation, and you can buy and sell any of them from your own wallet. You can launch one now from the create page.
2. Launching a Coin
A launch is one form, one payment and one signature. Everything after that signature is done by Longbow's launch wallet. If you add an initial buy, it is one more signature in your own wallet once the coin is live.
2.1 What you fill in
The create page at /launchpad/create asks for the basics of the coin. Every field is checked before you pay.
| Field | What it is | Limit | Optional |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name and ticker | The coin's name and its symbol | Ticker: 1 to 10 letters or numbers | No |
| Description | A few lines about the coin | Up to 500 characters | No |
| Picture | The coin's image | PNG, JPG or GIF, 5 MB at most | No |
| Links | X, Telegram and website | One of each | Yes |
Initial buy: optional, in SOL, described in Section 2.4. Launch fee: 0.1 SOL, described in Section 2.2. Nothing else is charged to launch.
2.2 The payment
You pay 0.1 SOL once, in one transaction, to Longbow's launch wallet. Before your wallet signs, the page checks two things about that payment: the amount and the destination.
pump.fun create ≈ 0.02 SOL, paid by Longbow from the fee
// one transaction, one signature, nothing on top
There is no second fee and no top up. The check happens before your wallet signs, so the payment that leaves your wallet is exactly 0.1 SOL to the launch wallet.
2.3 Creation
Once your payment lands, Longbow's launch wallet creates the coin on pump.fun through PumpPortal (Lightning). It takes seconds, not minutes.
Every launch has its mint address fixed in advance, made from the launch's own key. If a step has to be retried, the retry uses the same mint address, and a coin can only be created at that address once. One launch can never make two coins.
Because the launch wallet creates the coin, it is the coin's on-chain creator. That is what sends pump.fun's creator fees to Longbow, as described in Section 4.
2.4 The initial buy
You can add an initial buy in SOL. It is a second signature in your own wallet, right after the coin is live, and it buys on the bonding curve like any other trade. That SOL goes to the curve, not to Longbow.
3. The Curve and Graduation
Every Longbow coin is a standard pump.fun coin with a supply of 1 billion. About 793 million of it is sold on pump.fun's bonding curve: the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell.
When the curve fills, at about 85 SOL raised, the coin graduates to PumpSwap and keeps trading there. Longbow's board moves it to the Graduated lane.
on curve ≈ 793,000,000 // sold on the bonding curve
graduation ≈ 85 SOL raised // then trading moves to PumpSwap
4. Fees and How Longbow Earns
A launch costs the launcher 0.1 SOL, once. Longbow earns from pump.fun's creator fees on the coins it launches. That is the whole fee picture.
| Fee | Amount | Who pays, and where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Launch fee | 0.1 SOL, once | Paid by the launcher to Longbow's launch wallet, in one transaction. |
| Create cost | About 0.02 SOL | pump.fun's own cost to create a coin. Paid by Longbow out of the launch fee, so the launcher pays nothing extra. |
| Creator fees | 100% | pump.fun's creator fees from every coin go to Longbow's launch wallet, the on-chain creator. |
The initial buy is not a fee. It goes to the bonding curve and buys the coin for you, as described in Section 2.4.
4.1 Creator fees
pump.fun pays creator fees from the trading of each coin to that coin's creator. On Longbow the creator of every coin is Longbow's launch wallet, so those fees go to Longbow. That is how Longbow earns.
There are no rewards, no airdrops, no staking, no revenue share and no governance. Launchers and traders do not receive a share of creator fees. What a launcher gets is the launch itself: one payment, one coin, live in seconds.
5. Trading on Longbow
The launchpad at /launchpad is a board with three lanes: New, Gaining and Graduated. List views show coins as Cooking, Trending, New, Gaining and Graduated, plus a Watchlist kept in your own browser. Filters narrow any list, and quick buy lets you buy straight from the board.
A trade flows through four steps:
Longbow never holds your SOL or your coins. Every trade is built for your wallet and signed by your wallet.
5.1 Coin pages
Every coin gets its own page with a live chart, its trades, its holders and its top traders, and a box to buy and sell from your own wallet.
Coin pages follow the coin through its whole life: on the bonding curve while it fills, and after graduation once it has moved to PumpSwap.
6. Wallets and Safety
Longbow works with any Solana wallet, Phantom and others. You sign in by signing a message: it proves the wallet is yours and moves no funds. Longbow never holds anyone's keys, and never asks for them.
Your wallet is involved in four moments:
Read every transaction in your wallet before you sign it, and check a coin's contract address before you buy. Anyone can launch a coin with any name.
7. Architecture
Longbow runs on Solana and launches every coin on pump.fun. The system is made of these parts, each with one job:
8. Risks
Memecoins are risky, and this page does not pretend otherwise. The main risks, and what to do about each, are as follows:
| Risk | What to know |
|---|---|
| Price | Memecoins can go to zero. Only use what you can afford to lose. |
| Copycat coins | Anyone can launch a coin with any name or ticker. Check the contract address, not the name. |
| Liquidity | A coin may have little liquidity on the curve or on PumpSwap, so large trades move the price. |
| Signing | Read every transaction in your wallet before you sign it. Longbow never asks for your keys. |
| Smart contracts | Coins run on pump.fun's programs on Solana. A fault there could affect every coin. |
| Third parties | Launches and trades depend on pump.fun, PumpPortal and Solana. If one is down, launching or trading may pause. |
| Not advice | Nothing here is financial advice. Do your own research before you buy any coin. |
9. $BOW
Not launched yet$BOW is Longbow's own coin. It is not launched yet: there is no contract address, no price, no market cap and no holders. Any coin calling itself $BOW before then is not ours. When it launches it will be a pump.fun coin like every other coin on Longbow, with no rewards, no staking and no airdrops attached.
Until $BOW launches, the Get $BOW page shows empty values for price, market cap, liquidity and volume. Those are real empty states, not missing data.
10. Using the App
Everything in this document is live in the app at /launchpad. Sign in with any Solana wallet by signing a message, then:
Longbow launches standard pump.fun coins and earns their pump.fun creator fees. There are no rewards, no airdrops, no staking, no revenue share and no governance. Memecoins are risky and can go to zero. Verify every contract address before you trade. Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice, or an offer of any asset in any jurisdiction.
