How to Launch a meme coin on the Moonit launchpad (formerly Moonshot)
Picture having the perfect idea for a memecoin, only to watch it disappear among thousands because you didn’t know how to launch it properly. With Moonit launchpad, you can turn a simple social media joke into a viral project backed by real investors.
This launchpad, formerly known as “Moonshot”, has become one of the leading dApps in its category thanks to strong partnerships with major industry players like Meteora. It also includes several token creation options, making it a solid fit for devs who want more room to customize.
Keep reading to learn the steps, tactics, and strategies used by creators who get their tokens to do more than just launch… they push them into the top trends on the Moonit launchpad.
The Smart Way to Launch a memecoin on the Moonit launchpad (Guide)
The most common way to launch a meme coin on the Moonit launchpad is through the “Moonit Fun” section. But if you want to give your project launch a real boost and stand out from the competition, you are better off using the Moonit Bundle Bot (https://tools.smithii.io/moonit-bundler/solana). Follow these steps to do it:
- Add your token details: name, ticker (symbol), image, and social links
- Enter the amount of $SOL you will use to buy your meme coin immediately with your main wallet
- Add more wallets (up to 3) that will also buy your memecoin. This helps spread ownership of your token and avoids the bad optics of one large insider position.
- Click “Moonit Launch & Buy”. Your wallet will then ask you to confirm the transaction. This tool costs only 0.1 $SOL.
Once you complete these steps, you will have launched your own memecoin on the Moonit launchpad with a bundle split across up to 4 different wallets. This lets you keep sniper bots from buying the earliest positions, lock in future upside, and keep your project looking clean.
Later, when you want to take some profits, you can use the Moonit Bundle Sell bot to sell or withdraw from up to 4 different wallets in one move.
Keep in mind that launching your token with this tool means it will later graduate to the DEX Raydium, at which point the LP tokens are burned and you, as the dev, receive a bonding bonus of 2 SOL.
What to Consider Before Launching Your meme coin on Moonit
Before launch, you need to handle a few key steps to improve your odds of success. Below are the main Moonit Launchpad factors to keep in mind.
Use the 9GAG Platform
One of Moonit’s biggest partners is the meme social network 9GAG, where users share fresh memes every day in eye-catching image and video formats.
We recommend checking the platform regularly to spot which meme formats are starting to trend, then use those ideas to create your own tokenized meme.
You can also explore Meme Money Markets, the new feature Moonit and 9GAG launched in July 2025. It is an AI protocol that automatically creates memecoins from viral memes or posts on 9GAG.
The Community Take Over feature lets you update the metadata of memecoins created with this AI, as long as you meet certain conditions: holding at least 1% of the token, proving organic support for the meme, and paying $199.
You can create a strong meme on 9GAG that later becomes a memecoin on Moonit and capitalize on early entries.
Validate your meme idea
Hundreds of memecoins are created every day on Moonit’s launchpad. Most of them, though, are low-effort projects that miss how important it is to build around a strong meme, one that actually stands out.
I’m not going to tell you making a good meme is easy. In fact, it takes sharp instincts and cultural timing to turn ideas into memecoins people actually care about, especially when you expect them to put money behind it.
That’s why you need to stay on top of the latest trends, news, internet jokes, mockery, memes, and anything else online that is pulling serious attention.
To test the idea you land on, you can:
- Post content on social media (including 9GAG) without over-structuring it, then study how people react.
- Talk through meme topics in forums with people from the degen community.
- Run polls in group chats or on social media.
- Pay attention to funny things happening around you offline. A lot of memes come from random everyday situations where people feel something real. If you build the right instinct, you can be early to a trending idea.
Once you’ve picked the meme, it’s time to set up the social channels. X and Telegram are non-negotiable. From there, start posting early to build hype before launch.
Don’t get stuck on a single idea. This is about testing, missing, and refining until something clicks. Once you launch, you’ll know almost immediately whether the memecoin has legs or not.
Get KOLs On Board
For a crypto project to take off, credible voices need to talk about it. With memecoins, that means online channels or social media accounts willing to shill the memecoin.
Remember: memecoins are speculative financial products, and most of the time they have no real value beyond a catchy, hype-driven concept.
Plenty of successful projects on Moonit launchpad pay specific accounts to share their project and bring in potential buyers.
Keep in mind that some relevant channels also benefit from sharing interesting projects, so if your memecoin is seen as high-potential, you may be able to land a relatively cheap deal or even get organic coverage.
What To Do After Launching On Moonit launchpad
A strong launch does not end when you hit “launch.” What you do right after your token gets listed on Moonit launchpad is critical for bringing in the first organic investors and getting early buy momentum going.
Share the CA on social media
Share the contract address on the social channels you created. Even if the post gets no likes, what matters is the people who see it and go straight to Moonit to consider investing. Many sniper bots are even set up to buy tokens when their CA is posted on X.
Boost your memecoin metrics
Use a volume bot for Moonit to increase transaction volume for your memecoin, which is key to showing up near the top of the “trending” list and attracting organic investors.
Keep posting consistently on social media, and configure the Smithii tool so buys and sells look as natural as possible.

Graduate Your memecoin
The main goal of a launchpad is to graduate tokens, which means all liquidity raised up to a preset cap is moved into a DEX. On Moonit, tokens migrate to Raydium or Meteora, depending on the dev’s choice.
If a token is created with the classic bounding curve, the target is a 431 SOL market cap to graduate on the Moonit launchpad, around $76.000 USD. If a flat bounding curve is used, the dev can adjust the target.
If the token graduates on Raydium, all LP tokens are burned and the dev receives a 2 SOL bonus.
If it graduates on Meteora:
- LP tokens are permanently locked to build trust in the project and prevent liquidity from being drained.
- A 50/50 fee revenue system is created (50% SOL and 50% of your token) when the asset trades on Meteora.
- By default, the portion of fees you receive in your token is automatically burned, unless you choose otherwise. This is meant to avoid a deflationary effect.
Benefits of launching your meme coin on the Moonit launchpad
Moonit is emerging as a breakthrough platform for creating tokens on Solana. Its partnerships with companies like Meteora, Raydium, Dexscreener, 9GAG, and Helio by MoonPay create strong development opportunities inside a robust crypto ecosystem.
From a token creator’s perspective, these are some of the main advantages of launching on Moonit:
- You can choose which DEX to migrate to, Raydium or Meteora. That gives you more room to shape a custom long-term strategy.
- Your token gets immediate exposure on Dex Screener, the leading platform for analyzing tokens launched in the DEX market, with more than 14 million monthly visits.
- You can enable the “Anti Snipe” option (only when you choose a flat bounding curve) so trades for your token can only be made through the Moonit dashboard. You can also set a token limit per trade.
- Moonit Edge is available, an expert support service that helps with marketing campaign planning, connections with CEXs and MMs, premium placement on DEX screener, and payment system integrations like moon pay, Helio pay, and Shopify to drive adoption.
- Once your token graduates, you’ll receive 80% of the LP rewards from the SOL pair (Moonit takes 20%) and 100% from your token pair, unless you enabled the “Burn token claims” option. You would receive these rewards through daily airdrops sent directly from airlock.sol. As of August 11, 2025, Moonit has distributed $9,373,496 in LP rewards and burned $4,686,748 to avoid deflationary effects.
- You can choose a classic bounding curve or a flat bounding curve, giving you different parameters to reach graduation. Keep in mind that, for this to work, you need to create the token directly on the Moonit platform.
Key differences between Moonit launchpad and Moonshot
Previously, “Moonshot” was the name shown on Dex Screener for the launchpad we’ve covered in this post. Some time ago, however, it was renamed “Moonit”.
It’s worth noting that there is still a platform called “Moonshot”, a self-custody blockchain wallet for trading crypto that was acquired by Jupiter in early 2025. It became especially well known after the launch of the memecoin TRUMP, when its downloads in the USA surged.
The confusing part is that this Moonshot, which only works through a mobile app, also lets users launch memecoins, so it can easily be mixed up with the launchpad that came before Moonit.
FAQ
At Smithii, we specialize in creating and developing tokens on networks like Solana, so we get questions every day about the most widely used launchpads in this ecosystem. These are the most common questions and answers about Moonit:
Is Moonit legal?
Yes. You can use Moonit to trade crypto assets or create your own token without running into legal issues. What matters is that you do not use the platform to scam other people, since that can lead to criminal consequences.
How do you make money on Moonit?
One way to make money on Moonit is to create and grow your own cryptocurrency on this launchpad. That lets you earn through trade fees and by selling a percentage of the meme coin once its price has moved up significantly.
You can also make money by trading other meme coins.
How do you get listed on Moonit?
To get listed on Moonit, you can launch your meme coin with the Bundler Bot from Smithii. This tool creates your token with a CA ending in “moon” and makes it available to trade on Moonit’s parent platform, Launchpad, plus integrated dApps such as Dex Screener.
You can also create the token directly on Moonit, but without the benefits of the bundler bot.
What Is Moonit AI (Meme Money Markets)?
It is a meme coin creation protocol that turns 9GAG posts into tradeable tokens on the Solana network through the Moonit launchpad. Images or videos posted on 9GAG need to hit specific engagement metrics before the AI automatically creates the memecoin, with no devs or insiders involved.
Conclusion
Launching a memecoin on the Moonit launchpad comes down to spotting meme ideas that resonate with the platform’s trading community, building strategic partnerships, pushing the right metrics, and staying consistently active on social media.
