Solana bonding-curve launch program, run as a rail: the issuer picks supply, curve shape, raise target and vesting, while the front end ("platform") they launch through sets every fee and now keeps the locked LP. Strongest on creator control surface and published ranges (9/10): Raydium LaunchLab publishes launch fields with ranges: 51–80% of supply on the curve, a 24 SOL minimum raise, and vesting whose cliff and unlock periods are fixed at launch. Platform limits on those ranges are published as rule bands. Some pages lag the chain, including a stale lock-rate default. Weakest on unavoidable protocol fee and fee disclosure (7/10): Raydium LaunchLab publishes its three-layer fee formula, dated platform-fee caps and a creation-cost band, but not the protocol rate: its creator guide says "The platform sets the rate" and to "Verify the on-chain values before signing." Deployed global configs carry a 0.25% protocol fee and a zero migration fee. Published price: No consolidated fee schedule is published; the fee composition is.
Token Launch Platforms
Token Launch Platforms evaluated across unavoidable protocol fee and fee disclosure, creator control surface and published ranges, graduation and LP disposition, and post-deploy rug surface and admin powers.
Ranked here: token launch platforms, the venues a creator uses to deploy a fungible token they keep, paying a protocol fee that outlives the launch. Not ranked here: the rails that launch venues run on, and platforms where what you launch is an agent rather than a fungible token you keep.

What matters most before choosing in this category
Weighted on the protocol fee an issuer cannot configure away (30), the control surface they keep at deploy (30), where the liquidity lands when the curve completes (25), and the residual power the venue holds over a live token (15). FEE AND CONTROL SHARE THE LEAD BECAUSE BOTH ARE ONE-WAY. The venue is chosen once, on the day the token is deployed, and its fee is then charged on every trade for the life of that token; vesting, cliffs, fee splits and revoked authorities are set at deploy and cannot be revisited once it is trading. THIS PAGE RANKS DOCUMENTATION, AND SAYS SO. The venue that documents best is not where most people launch — the leader earns it on a proxy-topology table and a seven-mode fee schedule, and the runner-up largely on one page that both renounces and admits what it keeps. Where a venue’s page and its deployed config disagree, the config wins the fee and the page loses the disclosure point; the disagreement is never itself scored as the fee. THERE IS NO TRACK-RECORD SCORE, deliberately. Not one venue in this pool publishes its own launch archive with outcomes, so a record here would be assembled from third parties. The rug criterion instead reads what each venue states CANNOT be done to a token once it is live, which is the only half of that question anyone has put in writing.
