Picking a launchpad
Pick by chain and by how your first buys land: 6 in the pump.fun launch block, 31 tax-free on Pons, or up to 240 inside one transaction on a direct deploy.

pump.fun (Solana)
The coin creation, your own buy and 6 team buys go out as one Jito bundle, so they land in the same block. A Jito bundle holds at most 5 transactions; the coin and your own buy take 2, and the other 3 carry 2 team buys each. Every other wallet buys right behind.
Pons (Robinhood Chain)
Pons charges outsiders a snipe tax that falls from 99% to 0 over about the first 5 seconds. Up to 31 of your team wallets go on the launch's exemption list, so they buy tax-free right after the coin is created. Later team buys wait at least 6 seconds apart. Your own buy is required.
Direct deploy (Robinhood Chain)
Unison deploys your coin and opens a Uniswap pool for it, and up to 240 team wallets buy inside that same transaction. You set the Starting market cap in dollars (default $5,000, from $1 to $1,000,000,000), which sets the price everyone starts from. Your own buy is required. The pool's liquidity is burned and the pool takes no fee, so there are no creator fees.
