What a LaunchLab platform is

A LaunchLab platform is a public account on Raydium that sets the fees, the LP rules and the curve rules for every coin launched under it. Curve Shader Engine is an editor for that account.

The accounts

Raydium runs one LaunchLab program. Raydium publishes the GlobalConfigs: one per quote token and curve type, each with its minimums (raise, share sold, share migrated, maximum lock). A platform is a PlatformConfig account owned by the program, one per admin wallet, and a coin is a pool account that points at a GlobalConfig and at a platform.

GlobalConfig

Raydium: SOL or USD1, constant product, bounds

→

PlatformConfig

You: fees, LP shares, CPMM tier, brand

→

Curve rule

You: the launch parameters allowed

→

Pool (a coin)

Anyone: launched under your platform

Every node in the editor writes one of the first three accounts. Coins are the fourth.

Who it is for

A community lead or a small team that wants its own launchpad with its own fees and rules, and does not want to write or audit a Solana program. Raydium operates the program, and your wallet administers the platform.

What you keep

Your platform fee on every curve trade, claimable from the platform fee vault by your fee wallet.
Your share of the LP at each graduation, as a Fee Key NFT that collects the CPMM pool's trading fees.
Your share of vested tokens when the vesting layer gives the platform one.

Curve Shader Engine takes nothing from a deployed platform. The only payment is the 0.5 SOL build fee, once.
