Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about LaunchLens.
For Traders
What is LaunchLens?
LaunchLens is a pre-launch token discovery platform for Solana. We help traders find tokens before they hit the DEX, with verified contract addresses and full dev launch history. Think of it as the discovery layer that comes before DexScreener.
How do I know a token is legit?
Look for the "Proven Track Record" badge — it means the developer has signed with a wallet from a previous launch to prove their history. You can see every token they've previously launched with market cap data. Good launches and bad launches are both shown — no cherry-picking.
What does "Proven Track Record" mean?
A dev with a proven track record has connected a wallet from a previous token launch and signed a message to prove they own it. This shows their full deployment history without exposing any wallet addresses. The wallet they prove with doesn't have to be the same one they use for the new token — it's about proving experience, not linking wallets.
What's the difference between Upcoming and Live?
Upcoming tokens haven't launched yet — they're listed before they hit the DEX so you can discover them early. Live tokens have a contract address and are already trading. Listings switch from Upcoming to Live when the dev adds their CA.
Is LaunchLens free to use?
Yes. Browsing, searching, watchlisting, and all discovery features are completely free. There's no account required. Developers can also list tokens for free — boosting for featured placement is the only paid feature.
For Developers
How do I list my token?
Go to the Submit page, enter your token name, ticker, description, and socials. You can add your contract address now (if deployed) or later. To prove your track record, connect a Phantom wallet from a previous launch — this doesn't need to be the wallet you'll use for your new token. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.
Can I change the name, ticker, or CA after submitting?
No. Token name, ticker, and contract address are locked after submission to prevent listing reuse and protect traders. You'll see a warning before submitting. Make sure everything is correct before you hit submit. You can still update your description, socials, launch date, and logo at any time using your edit link.
What is a boost and how much does it cost?
A boost gives your listing featured placement on the homepage, the scrolling banner, and our Telegram channel. Pre-launch boosts start at 1 SOL for 24 hours. Post-launch boosts start at 0.5 SOL. Check the Pricing page for full details. You pay directly with SOL via Phantom.
How does the dev track record work?
Connect a wallet you've used to launch tokens before. We scan the blockchain for every token deployed from that wallet using the Helius API, and pull market cap data from DexScreener. All launches are shown — successful and unsuccessful. This wallet doesn't need to be the one you use for your new token. If you create multiple listings with the same wallet, they all share the same track record.
Is my wallet address shown publicly?
No. Your deployer wallet address is never displayed on the website or in any API response. Only your verification status and launch history are shown. This protects you from snipers who target known deployer wallets.
General
What is the $LENS token?
The $LENS token powers LaunchLens. 20% of platform revenue is airdropped daily to $LENS holders as SOL. 5% goes to buyback and burn. 5% goes to referral rewards. You must hold at least 1,000 $LENS to qualify for airdrops. Check the Token page for full details.
How do daily airdrops work?
Once per day, at a randomised time, SOL is sent proportionally to all $LENS holders with at least 1,000 tokens. LP pool addresses are excluded. If the distribution wallet has less than 1 SOL, it rolls over to the next day and accumulates. No staking or claiming needed — SOL lands directly in your wallet.
How does the referral program work?
Share your referral link (launchlens.online?ref=YOUR_WALLET) and earn lifetime commissions on every boost purchased through it. First 10 referral boosts earn 2.5%. After 10 boosts, you permanently upgrade to 5%. Rewards are paid instantly in SOL the moment a referred dev boosts.
How do I get notified about new launches?
Join our Telegram channel @LaunchLensAlerts. We post every new listing, featured boosts, launch reminders (1 hour before), and a daily roundup every morning at 9 AM UTC. You can also use the watchlist feature on the website to save tokens you're interested in.
