Launching through Mob

Mob's API launches a coin on pump.fun, Raydium LaunchLab or Meteora, and on pump.fun gives it books. Mob builds each transaction; you sign it with your own keys. Here is every step, what it costs and what can go wrong.

Before you start

You need	Notes
A creator wallet with about 0.05 SOL	It pays for the launch, the treasury and the split, and becomes the coin's creator on pump.fun.
A fresh keypair for the mint	Generate it yourself; only its public key goes to Mob. It signs the create transaction once.
Your coin's metadata, hosted	A JSON file with name, symbol, description, image and links, at an `https://`, `ipfs://` or `ar://` link. Mob doesn't host it.
A name and ticker	Name up to 32 characters, ticker up to 10. Both are permanent and pass Mob's blocklist.

Pick a launchpad

Set launchpad in the first call. Leave it out and you get pump.fun.

launchpad	Where it trades	A trade on the curve costs	Books
`pump` (default)	pump.fun, then PumpSwap	pump.fun's fees. Mob's 1% comes out of your creator fees, and you can drop it.	Treasury, split, burns, the crank
`raydium`	Raydium LaunchLab on Mob's platform, then a Raydium CPMM pool	1.55%: 0.25% Raydium, 1% Mob, 0.3% to you	A treasury if you want one, then `/claim` your 0.3% whenever you like. You sign each claim.
`meteora`	Meteora's bonding curve on Mob's config, then a DAMM v2 pool at about 86 SOL raised	1.25%: 0.25% Meteora, 1% Mob. You hold half the graduated pool's locked liquidity.	A treasury if you want one. Nothing to claim on the curve.

On Raydium and Meteora, Mob's 1% is set on chain by the launchpad, for every coin. Full rates: the fee schedule. The rest of this page is the pump.fun flow.

The flow

A launch through the APIMob builds; you sign. Every arrow into Solana is a transaction only your keys can authorize.

Build the launch
POST /api/v1/launches with the name, ticker, metadata link, creator and mint addresses. You get a transaction and a preflight: a simulation run before anything is signed, so 'insufficient funds' shows up now.
Sign and send it
Sign with the creator and mint keypairs. Send it through POST /api/v1/send (which waits for confirmation) or any RPC. Do it within about a minute: transactions carry a recent blockhash.
Make the treasury
POST /api/v1/launches/{mint}/treasury. Optionally name other members and how many must approve. Sign and send. The answer includes the multisig and its vault, the address fees will be paid to.
Get a burn wallet (optional)
POST /api/v1/launches/{mint}/burn-wallet, only if you'll give a share to buy-and-burn.
Build the split
POST /api/v1/launches/{mint}/split with the shares. Two transactions come back: send the first, then the second. This is the one that can't be undone.
Register
POST /api/v1/launches/{mint}/register. Mob reads the split from the chain, puts the coin on the crank and lists it under Made here.

At any point, GET /api/v1/launches/{mint} tells you which steps are done, read from the chain, and what to do next.

A complete example

The API reference has the full script in Node. In short:

const launch = await call("/launches", { name, symbol, uri, creator, mint });
await signAndSend(launch.transaction, launch.version, creatorKey, mintKey);
const t = await call(`/launches/${mint}/treasury`, {});
await signAndSend(t.transaction, t.version, creatorKey);
await call(`/launches/${mint}/burn-wallet`, {});
const s = await call(`/launches/${mint}/split`, { burnBps: 2400, filmBps: 500, mob: true });
await signAndSend(s.transactions[0], s.version, creatorKey);
const splitSignature = await signAndSend(s.transactions[1], s.version, creatorKey);
await call(`/launches/${mint}/register`, { splitSignature });

What it costs

Step	Roughly	Paid to
Create the coin	0.02 SOL	Network and pump.fun's account rent
The treasury	under 0.01 SOL	Network and Squads' account rent
The split	a few thousandths of SOL	Network, the config's rent, and each new recipient's minimum balance
Mob	nothing to launch	Mob's 1% and the film fund are optional shares in the split

Limits and rules

30 builds and 10 sends a minute per caller. No key, no account.
Books are built only for coins Mob built the launch for.
A dev buy isn't part of the launch transaction. Buy right after with any wallet, or Mob's Buy & sell.
The split, burns and the crank are pump.fun only. On LaunchLab the creator claims their fees with POST /api/v1/launches/{mint}/claim, into the treasury if there is one, from code or the coin's Books panel.
