Capstanpad

A small launch platform on Raydium LaunchLab. Turn the capstan, raise the anchor.

What it is

A capstan is the drum sailors turn to haul in heavy rope. Capstanpad is a small launch platform on Raydium LaunchLab: an on-chain platform config with its own name, fee and web page. Coins launched on it trade on Raydium's bonding curve and graduate to a Raydium CPMM pool at 85 SOL. Right now it lists one coin, its house coin.

Furlongpad is a second, separate Raydium LaunchLab platform config run by the same people and listed on this page. FRLG is its house coin. Same fees (1% platform, 0.5% creator). The deployer buys about 0.65 SOL of FRLG at creation and sells all of it in one go within seconds, possibly into your buy. Meme coin, no utility, no team, no roadmap.

Read this before you buy

The platform wallet and the CPST creator are the same wallet, so the deployer gets 1.5 of every 1.75 points of fee. The deployer buys about 0.4 SOL of CPST at creation and sells it automatically within about 30 seconds, possibly into your buy. Prices on bonding curves can go to zero.
