Raydium launches Pump.fun clone, industry reception divided

Raydium launched Launchlab, a Pump.Fun clone with unique pricing features, provoking divided opinions in the cryptographic community.

Raydium announced the launch of Launchlab, a new platform designed to create and launch tokens – similar to Pump.fun de Solana, as originally reported By blockworks. Raydium (RADIUS) Launchlab is essentially a pump clone.fun – but better in terms of functionality. Launchlab shines on Pump.Fun in that users to determine how the price of a token will change as its request increases. The trajectory of price changes can be defined on linear, exponential or logarithmic. In addition to the post-launch price change behavior, third-party interfaces can be integrated into Launchlab and invoice their own transaction costs in addition to standard costs.

An anonymous Raydium developer Tell Blockworks Thislab has been developing for several months, but the company has maintained it in a prohibited manner so as not to appear that Raydium was trying to compete directly with Pump.fun and other launchpads.

However, Raydium changed course and decided to deploy Launchlab after Pump.fun announcement plans to Launch his own AMMAlthough the developer explained that Launchlab is not intended to replace Pump. The platform is rather intended to serve the teams who wish to create and manage their tokens without building everything from scratch.

Even if the launch of Raydium does not pretend to compete directly with Pump.fun, the timing is suspect. It seems that Raydium is trying to protect his source of income as a pump.

When a token created on pump. This actually makes these tokens unavailable, which increases the value of the remaining tokens. Thanks to this mechanism, 41% of the revenues of the Raydium exchange in the last month come Research blockworks.

The news encountered a mixed feeling well committed by Zhu Su tweetThis pointed out that compression of costs is good for users. But he stressed that the community and the tradition are what really stimulates the success of projects like Pump.fun, which implies that these aspects will be more difficult to reproduce for Raydium.

The Raydium Ray token is up 12% on the daily delay, which suggests that the news has been welcomed.
