Launchpads
Four protocols, two chains, and which one a token belongs to.
A launchpad sells a new token from a bonding curve: the price rises with every buy, and once enough supply has sold, the remaining tokens and the coin raised are moved into a normal DEX pool. That last step is called graduation.
The console speaks four of them. A chain can carry more than one, and which launchpad a token belongs to is a property of the token, not of the chain. Every tool asks the chain rather than assuming; see Venues.

On BNB Smart Chain
OneMeme
The chain's native launchpad here, and the only one that lets you configure taxes and a bonding-curve tax at launch. You pick a graduation tier, 10 or 16 BNB, or a non-coin raise asset such as USDT, a tokenised stock or gold, in which case the protocol's own tier applies.
It also offers a second launch shape: a V3 pool launch, where the whole supply goes straight into a locked concentrated-liquidity position instead of onto a curve. Those tokens never graduate, because they were never on a curve; they trade through the Core from the first block, and the creator's fees accrue in the locked position and can be claimed from Tokens.
Metadata is pinned to IPFS by the deployment, so a logo is optional and a launch works without one.
four.meme
Its parameters are not yours. 1 billion supply, 80% on the curve, and a graduation target four.meme sets: 18 BNB for a BNB curve, and whatever its config says for any other raise asset. What you choose is the identity, the raise asset and the buys.
Creation is a joint operation. four.meme's backend signs the launch parameters, and only then will its contract accept the transaction, so the sequence is API first and chain second. The token's address is fixed by that signature before anything is sent, which is what lets the buys be signed in advance and land in the same block.
The console launches the plain, untaxed variant. four.meme's own website launches a taxed clone from a different factory, at a different address, and the two are not interchangeable.
An image is required: four.meme hosts the artwork itself and will not sign a launch without one.
Flap
The ancestor of OneMeme's contracts, still running and still maintained. 1 billion supply, 80% on the curve, graduates to PancakeSwap V2 at 16 BNB.
Flap will only create a tax token for the public on this chain, and it refuses a zero tax, so the console launches with the smallest it will accept: 0% buy and 1% sell, paid to the creator wallet. That 1% is yours, but it still comes off a sale before you see it.
The token address is mined locally for a 7777 suffix, which takes a second or two, because Flap
requires it. An image is required; Flap pins the metadata itself.
On Robinhood Chain
PONS V2
The chain's own launchpad. Tiers, fees and the approved raise assets are read live from its factory rather than restated in the console, so a change on their side shows up here without a deploy. A PONS token can raise in ETH or in any tokenised equity the factory approves, and it graduates into a Uniswap V4 pool.
PONS is unusual in two ways. The creation and every bundled buy are wrapped into one transaction paid for by the creator, which is the only atomicity available on a chain with no bundle market. And it applies the snipe tax described in Chains, with an exemption list capped at 32 addresses.
Because the creator pays for every buy inside that one transaction, bundle wallets need no balance of their own on a PONS launch. They receive tokens and no coin, which is why selling one later usually needs the gas top-up option in Tokens.
A curve that raises an ERC-20 rather than ETH cannot be bundled on PONS: the buyers are funded inside a single transaction and an ERC-20 approval cannot be arranged mid-call. The form says so when you pick such an asset.
Flap
Also deployed here, beside PONS, with the same recipe as on BNB Smart Chain: a 0% buy and 1% sell tax token. The curve is much shallower and it graduates at roughly 5 ETH, into Uniswap V2.
The plain, untaxed shape exists on this chain but carries a per-address buy cap of 2% of supply, which silently refunds anything over it. That is why the console uses the tax shape here too.
Picking one
On a chain with more than one, Token Launch opens with a Launchpad picker, each option carrying that launchpad's own mark. Choosing changes every panel below it, because each protocol fixes a different set of things and leaves a different set to you.
