Why creators look for a Pump.fun alternative
- Snipers: bots buy in the first seconds and dump on real buyers. A Custom launch charges them up to 50%, and that fee goes to you and the pool instead.
- Earnings: on a Custom launch you set the fee and keep 80% of what is left after Meteora's share, on the curve and after graduation.
- Trust: traders can verify that the fees can't change, liquidity is locked forever, there is no mint or freeze authority, and your own allocation unlocks slowly.
- Recognition: every Bag It token address ends in bag.
How to launch

FAQ
What is the best Pump.fun alternative for launching a Solana token?
If you want more control than a standard Pump.fun launch, a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve launch lets you choose your own trading fee, add an anti-sniper fee, pledge buyback & burn, vest your own allocation and lock liquidity forever after graduation. Bag It offers both: Regular launches on Pump.fun and Custom launches on Meteora.
Can I still launch on Pump.fun through Bag It?
Yes. A Regular launch creates a standard Pump.fun token on Pump's bonding curve, tradable on Pump.fun and every Solana app. Trades pay Pump's 1.25% fee; the 0.3% creator fee is split 80% to you and 20% to Bag It, fixed at launch.
Is a Meteora launch more expensive than Pump.fun?
A Custom launch costs about 0.015–0.02 SOL in Solana rent and network fees, none of which goes to Bag It, and about 0.006 SOL less when you reuse saved settings (a template).
Do Custom launch settings work outside Bag It?
Yes. The fees and anti-sniper protection are written into the token's Meteora pool, so they apply on every wallet, app and trading bot. Nobody can change them after launch, not the creator and not Bag It.
What happens when a Custom token graduates?
When the bonding curve raises 85 SOL, liquidity moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool where it is permanently locked. You keep earning your share of trading fees, and you can choose a fixed or a price-based fee after graduation.
