Documentation

Everything Goonpad does, described in full. It launches memes about the goon cave on pump.fun, after you hold a button for 7 seconds. The parts that touch your wallet are covered carefully.

Overview

Goonpad is a web interface for creating tokens on pump.fun. It asks for the same things pump.fun asks for, builds the creation transaction and hands it to your wallet. When you approve, the token exists on Solana and trades on pump.fun immediately.

A token launched here is the same as one launched on pump.fun directly. Your wallet is the payer and the creator, so creator fees go to you. The differences are the rule and the button.

The rule

Every token launched on Goonpad is goon material: a meme about gooning, the goon cave, the session, the monitors, the energy drinks, the hydration reminders. It is a meme launchpad, so:

Accepted: memes, drawings, edits, screenshots of posts, anything that is a joke.
Not accepted: real people who did not agree to it, anyone underage, porn.

Checking is the honor system. Tokens that break the rule are hidden from this site when reported.

The hold

After you tick the boxes, the launch button has to be held for 7 seconds. The bar fills while you hold. Let go before it is full and it empties, and you start again. When it fills, your wallet opens with the transaction.

The hold happens in your browser only. It is not part of the transaction and costs nothing.

The launch flow

A launch has six steps. You are involved in three of them.

You fill in the form. Name, ticker, image and an optional description, links and initial buy. The preview on the right shows what pump.fun will show.
You confirm. A dialog repeats the rule of this launchpad and asks you to tick every box. Nothing is built until you do.
Goonpad stores the metadata. The image and a metadata file are uploaded to IPFS through pump.fun's own uploader.
Goonpad builds and simulates the transaction. It is built in your browser: pump.fun's create instruction (plus a buy if you chose one), with your wallet as payer and creator. A fresh mint key is generated in your browser. The transaction is simulated against the network first. If it would fail, you see why and nothing reaches your wallet.
You sign. Your wallet shows you the transaction. You approve or decline.
It is sent. Your browser adds the mint signature and sends it. The page waits for confirmation and then shows the result.

Wallets

Phantom, Solflare and Backpack work through their browser extensions. On a phone, open the site inside your wallet's own browser. The connect button offers to do that for you with Phantom.

The token is always created from the connected wallet. There is no fallback where Goonpad deploys on your behalf, because Goonpad has no wallet that could.

What you pay

pump.fun creation cost. Account rent for the mint, bonding curve and token accounts. Set by pump.fun and paid to pump.fun and the network.
Network fee. The Solana base fee plus a small priority fee so the transaction lands.
Initial buy. Whatever you entered, plus pump.fun's trading fee on it. Zero if left blank.

Goonpad adds no charge of its own. Keep about 0.03 SOL above your initial buy.

Creator fees

pump.fun pays a share of every trade to the wallet recorded as the token's creator. Goonpad records your wallet. You claim the fees on the coin page on pump.fun, from both the bonding curve and, after graduation, PumpSwap.

Goonpad does not use fee sharing and is not a recipient of anything. There is no Goonpad address that could receive a fee.

What Goonpad keeps

Nothing. No fee, no share of creator fees, no tokens, no buybacks, no burns, no rewards. The launchpad has its own coin, and that coin is a separate token like any other. It gets nothing from your launch either.

Security model

The transaction is built in your browser and shown to you by your wallet before anything happens.
The mint key is generated in your browser and never leaves it.
Goonpad never sees your private key and never holds SOL or tokens.
The server only forwards read requests and your signed transaction to Solana, and your image to IPFS.

Read the transaction in your wallet before approving. It should show a token creation on pump.fun, SOL leaving your wallet for the creation cost and any initial buy, and nothing else.

How launches are listed

There is no database. Every launch includes a zero-lamport transfer to 3y54...zb1H and a memo goonpad/v1:<mint>. The site reads those transactions back from the chain, checks that each one really created that mint on pump.fun, and lists it. Anyone can verify the list the same way.

User images are blurred on this site until you choose to show them. A token can be hidden from this site on request. It cannot be removed from pump.fun or from the chain.

When something fails

You declined in the wallet. Nothing was sent, nothing was charged.
The transaction expired. Transactions are valid for about a minute. Nothing was charged. Start again.
Not enough SOL. Checked before building. Top up and try again.
Metadata upload failed. The uploader was busy. Try again in a moment.
Landed but failed. Rare. The network fee is consumed and cannot be refunded by anyone. The token was not created.
