Almost every memecoin fails. I publish mine either way.
I launch memecoins and publish the numbers. Including the ones that die. Launches are attached to attention that already exists, cost a few dollars when they die, and are killed inside the hour when the numbers say so.
One launchpad, 32 days, every token it produced. Bars are drawn to true linear scale — the last one is a hairline because it is one.
Source: Bitquery, PONS launchpad, 3 Aug – 3 Sep 2026.
Median creator earned $15.73. 66.8% of the 314,736 wallets that traded finished down.
The last four are structural — the launchpad factory enforces them and I could not break them if I wanted to. The first two are choices, and choices can be broken, so the numbers behind them are published below rather than asserted here.
Live and dead. Prepped work is not listed until it launches.
Dead on arrival. One trade in its life — the dev buy. $15.00 of volume, $0.15 in fees, two holders. Launched about three hours after $GREYEDOUT with a better-scoring mark and a cleaner gate result, and took nothing, because by then the bot that made $GREYEDOUT's numbers had left the venue entirely. Sold the $15 dev buy back for 0.0059 ETH. Net -$12.63. It is the control in the experiment: same desk, same venue, same method, three hours apart. The variable was not the coin.
Dead in about four hours. $17.14K of volume across 159 trades, but almost all of it one address round-tripping at a deliberate loss — bought 24.82M for 0.0990 ETH and sold the same 24.82M for 0.0673 ETH, repeatedly. Wash trading to farm rewards, not demand. The bonding curve ran 36% -> 23% -> 21% -> 2% as that address withdrew its ETH again. Six holders at the end. Dev buys: four, 0.0238 ETH total, three of them after launch and against the plan; sold back for 0.0125 ETH, a $28 loss on the position. Creator fees: $171.36. Net +$130.97. The coin failed and the launch made money, which is the only interesting thing here.
Dead on arrival. 2 holders. Launched 23:12 UTC on 5 Sep; 13 hours later the chart reads $2,887 market cap, $0 liquidity, and 1 buy against 1 sell in 24 hours — zero trades in the last 6. The name was the fix for $LIFTOFF's problem and it worked: zero ticker collisions, zero snipers. It changed nothing. Both coins died of the same thing, which was never the name. It was having nobody to tell.
Dead in 10 minutes. 4 holders, $473 volume, 11 buys and 9 sells — the opening buys were snipers and they exited. Peaked at $3.36K, reached 4% of the bonding curve, needed $8,855 more to graduate. I exited my own $51 dev buy at breakeven. Net result: $1.26 in creator fees.
