Peak / back to the trenchesLive on Solana

§ mechanics

the rules. no exceptions.

The old market, back on Raydium, with the new tech cut out. Three things Peak guarantees, and exactly how each one works.
lock · check · caplive

01

Anti-vamp

No vamps on Peak. Tickers lock for 30 minutes.

When a coin starts moving, vampires launch the same ticker seconds later to catch people who paste the wrong contract, and to drain attention from the original. Here a ticker is locked for 30 minutes after it launches, case-insensitive. The check runs inside one database transaction behind a lock, so two simultaneous launches can't both squeeze through.

A launch can also name the tweet that announces it, and that tweet is locked for 30 minutes too. If someone tries to launch “your” coin with your tweet, the form tells them when it unlocks. Tickers that only look alike (PEPE and P3PE) and images that are the same picture as a recent coin are allowed, but flagged on the coin page so buyers can tell. This covers Peak only; nobody can stop a copy launching on another site.

02

Anti-bundle

No block-zero bundles. Every launch is blind.

On most launchpads the creator sends the creation transaction and bundles a buy into the same block, often across a dozen fresh wallets, grabbing cheap supply before anyone else can see the coin. Then they sell into everyone who arrives later.

On Peak your wallet never touches the creation. It signs one plain SOL payment to Peak's deployer, and nothing about the coin is in it. Once the payment lands, the server waits a random 3 to 15 seconds and the deployer creates the Raydium LaunchLab pool by itself, with a mint address derived from a server secret. You learn the mint at the same moment as the rest of the chain.

So there is nothing to bundle against: no mint to pre-sign buys for, no creation transaction to wrap in a Jito bundle, no head start. If the creation ever fails, the whole payment goes back to your wallet automatically.

A dev could still race to buy right after launch from wallets they funded. So every coin gets a public bundle check: every wallet that bought in the first 20 slots is traced back to the wallets that sent it SOL, and any that link to the launcher or to each other are flagged on the coin page, with the share of supply they still hold.

DexScreener paid

DexScreener, paid by the coin itself.

Launch with a banner and part of every fee your coin earns fills its own $299 DexScreener fund, paced to its bonding progress. Every trade on the curve pays 1% to Peak (Raydium adds its own 0.25%), and after graduation the Raydium pool pays Peak a 1% creator fee.

When the curve has raised 85 SOL (a market cap of about 411 SOL) Raydium migrates the coin to a Raydium CPMM pool. DexScreener lists a Raydium coin once it graduates from the bonding curve, so that is when the profile is ordered from its fund. No begging the community to chip in.

Once the fund is done (and from the start for a coin without a banner), 50% of the coin's fees buy the coin itself and burn it in the same transaction. The rest is pooled to buy back and burn Peak's main coin, also in one transaction. Until the main coin launches, that share waits in the pool. Funded, paid and live are shown as separate steps on every coin page; live means DexScreener approved the order.

Anyone, the launcher included, can still buy and sell on the open market, and price can go to zero. No buyback mechanism can guarantee price performance.

§ Lifecycle

  1. 01

    You fill in name, ticker and image (a tweet and banner are optional), connect a wallet and press launch. About 0.230 SOL covers rent, network fees and the 0.2 SOL anti-slop launch fee, which goes straight to buy-and-burn.

  2. 02

    Your wallet signs one payment. After a random 3–15s, Peak's deployer creates the Raydium LaunchLab pool: a fresh mint, 1B supply, no authorities, no buy.

  3. 03

    Trading starts immediately on the coin page. About 90 seconds in, the bundle check traces every early buyer and publishes the result.

  4. 04

    Every 3 minutes fees are collected: banner coins fill their own DexScreener fund first. After that, half buys and burns the coin itself and half pools to buy and burn our main coin (in chunks, at most hourly), each in one transaction.

  5. 05

    When the curve has raised 85 SOL, Raydium migrates it to a CPMM pool and burns the LP tokens.

  6. 06

    The graduated pool keeps paying Peak its 1% creator fee, split the same way: half buys back the coin, half our main coin, indefinitely.
