# Welcome to Burst
> A memecoin launchpad on Solana built for traders, by traders.
The memecoin launchpad on Solana, built for traders, by traders.
Burst pioneers the **Fusion** and **Sentinel** programs to produce fairer launches, cleaner price discovery, and stronger liquidity.

Launch your own token for 0.1 SOL. Tradeable instantly.
Full trading on iPhone with the Burst iOS app.
## How token launches work
Anyone can launch a token on Burst for `0.1 SOL`. Choose a name, ticker, and image.
The token is immediately tradeable. Early buyers and sellers trade along the bonding curve.
Once the bonding curve fills, the token graduates into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool for deeper, persistent liquidity.
After graduation, the token trades on the DAMM v2 pool. DexScreener gets paid automatically by Burst.
## What makes Burst different
When copycat tokens compete for the same identity, Fusion merges them at graduation. The first to graduate becomes canonical, concentrating liquidity instead of splitting it.
Sentinel makes it \~90% harder for one user to bundle supply across multiple wallets. Identity correlation, funding analysis, and behavioral signals catch multi-wallet abuse.
Burst monitors new charts after launch. If activity is clearly fake, trading is disabled fast and legitimate traders are refunded.
Platform fees flow back into the highest-volume token every 12 hours, reinforcing winners instead of extracting value.
## Backing
Burst raised \$1.5M in our seed round, raised from a group of private angel investors and leading firms across crypto.
This backing supports the long-term vision of building a structured, trader-first launch environment on Solana — focused on fair participation, strong liquidity, and sustainable market design.
Early supporters include [Arctic Operators](https://x.com/ArcticOperators), [Haun Ventures](https://x.com/HaunVentures), [DWF Ventures](https://x.com/DWFVentures), and [mf.xyz](https://x.com/mf__xyz), alongside a network of private angel investors active in the ecosystem.
