How Pling works

Pling is a place to launch tokens on Solana. Every token comes with an image and, if you want, a short sound that plays when people open it. The image and sound are stored on Solana itself, not on a server that can go offline.

When people trade a token, part of the fee goes back to the creator and, on the Pling curve, to the people holding it.

On the Create page you pick where your token starts trading.

Pling curve gives you the most control: fee level, launch protection and how much goes to holders. Pump curve puts your token on pump.fun from the first second, so it is visible to pump.fun traders right away.

1. Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and others).
2. Create your launch wallet and fund it with the amount shown. See below for why.
3. Add a name, a ticker, an image and optionally a description, a sound and your links (website, X, Telegram).
4. Choose the curve, the pair and the fee settings.
5. Optionally buy your own token in the same step as the creation, so nobody can buy before you.
6. Press Create token. It takes a few steps, each one shown on screen.

If a launch stops halfway (closed tab, lost connection), come back to the Create page with the same launch wallet and press Finish it. Nothing is lost.

Your links are saved with the token and shown on its page. For Pump curve launches they also show on pump.fun.

Storing an image and a sound on Solana needs a newer, larger kind of transaction that Phantom and most wallets cannot sign yet. So Pling creates a small wallet in your browser just for launching. You send it the launch cost, it does the work, and you take back what is left.

• Fund sends SOL from your connected wallet to the launch wallet.
• Withdraw all sends everything left back to your connected wallet.
• Export key shows its private key so you can back it up or import it in another wallet.
• Forget removes it from this browser. Withdraw first.

Your share of the fees always goes to your connected wallet, not to the launch wallet.

The launch wallet lives in this browser only. Clearing your browser data deletes it. Keep only what a launch needs in it.

Creators pay for their launch. The Create page shows the exact amount before you start, and nothing is charged until you press Create token.

A smaller image or a shorter sound lowers the storage cost. You can change both under Advanced.

Pling curve

The creator picks a 1% or 2% fee, charged on every buy and sell, before and after graduation. Each fee is shared like this:

The split is written into the token at launch and cannot be changed later.

Pump curve

pump.fun sets the trade fee. The creator part of it goes where you chose at launch:

• Fees for me: 70% to your wallet, 30% to Pling. Locked at launch through pump.fun fee sharing, and paid out automatically.
• Rewards to holders: pump.fun pays the creator fee to holders itself. Pling charges a one time 0.05 SOL at launch.

On the Pling curve, the holder share of every fee is paid to people holding the token.

• Fair over time. Balances are checked every few minutes. Holding more, for longer, earns more. Buying just before a payout and selling right after earns very little.
• Paid in the pair token. A token paired with SOL pays in SOL, one paired with USDC pays in USDC.
• Sent automatically once you are owed about $2 or more.
• Or claim it yourself any time on the Rewards page.

Trading pools and the Pling wallet are not counted as holders.

Rewards in a token other than SOL are sent automatically only if your wallet already holds that token. Otherwise claim them on the Rewards page; your wallet pays the small one time account cost.

Every token starts on a bonding curve: the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell.

• Pling curve: starts around a $5K market cap and graduates at about $75K. The liquidity then moves to a Meteora pool and is locked forever. The trade fee and the holder share keep working after graduation.
• Pump curve: graduates when pump.fun decides the curve is full, then trades on PumpSwap.

You can keep buying and selling from the token page on Pling before and after graduation.

• Image: PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF. It is resized to between 48 and 128 pixels to keep storage cheap.
• Sound: MP3, WAV or M4A, recorded from your microphone, or one of the built in sounds. 2 to 10 seconds.
• Pling curve: both are written inside the token and locked when the launch finishes. Nobody, including Pling, can change them.
• Pump curve: pump.fun fixes token details at creation, so both are stored in the launch transactions on Solana and shown by Pling and pump.fun.

The pair is the token people use to buy yours. On the Pling curve you can pick SOL, USDC, tokenized stocks and major tokens. On the Pump curve you can pick any of the pairs pump.fun supports. Your own buy at launch is available with SOL.

• Pling never holds your funds. Trades go straight from your wallet to the exchange.
• Supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 tokens. Nobody can mint more.
• Launch protection (Pling curve) charges a higher fee for the first 2 minutes, which makes it expensive for bots to grab most of the supply at launch.
• Anyone can launch a token. A token being on Pling is not an endorsement. Check the creator and the links before buying.
• Tokens are volatile and can lose all their value. Transactions on Solana are final.
