Same idea: launch a coin, trade it, graduate it. Very different deal on fees, tokens and copies.
| Topic | Most launchpads | Mob |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol fees | Kept by the platform | 90% buy & burn $MOB (about 0.9% of every trade) · 10% builds Mob |
| Team tokens | Free allocation at launch | No team allocation. Zero free tokens |
| Copycats | Anyone can relaunch your ticker | Anti-vamp blocks a live coin’s ticker, name and picture |
| Pairs | Usually SOL only | SOL, stablecoins, crypto majors and tokenized stocks |
| Liquidity | Not always locked | Locked forever at graduation |
| Who decides | The team | Soon, $MOB holders |
About 0.02 SOL, which goes to Solana’s account rent and network fees, not to Mob. A first buy is optional, in the same signature. Your coin’s address is assigned at launch.
Every trade pays Mob’s 1.25%. Meteora, which runs the pools, keeps a fifth of the whole trading fee. Of the rest, 90% (about 0.9% of every trade) buys $MOB on the market and burns it, on the public ledger, and 10% goes to the protocol to build Mob.
A creator may add 0–1% on top of every trade, locked at launch. All of it goes to the coin’s holders in full: Mob’s burn share covers Meteora’s cut of it. It’s paid about every hour in the pair token, once $5 is waiting, to holders worth $20 or more (the largest 200). Pools, Mob’s wallets and the creator’s own wallet never count.
SOL, USDC or USDT, crypto majors (BTC, ETH, HYPE, XRP and more), tokenized stocks (xStocks by Backed, and Backpack Securities), and $MOB once $MOB is live. Stock tokens can be paused by their issuer and aren’t available to US persons.
Anti-vamp blocks a live coin’s ticker, name or picture at launch, lookalikes included. A coin counts as live if it launched in the last 72 hours or is worth $10K or more. Anti-snipe protection is coming soon; until then, every launch pays a flat 1.25% from the first second.
No team token allocation, no free tokens and no protocol fees. Any $MOB the team holds, it buys with its own money.
