Dev buy
A dev buy is the coin creator’s own first purchase, made from the creating wallet as the coin launches.
How it works
The wallet that creates the coin can buy in the same step. It is the first buy on the curve, so it gets the lowest price. Everyone can see it: it comes from the creator’s address.
| Launchpad | Dev buy |
|---|---|
| pump.fun | Optional |
| Pons | Required: the launch always buys for the creator |
| Direct deploy | Required on Unison |
Team-wallet buys are separate wallets. They are not labelled as the creator, but they can be traced through funding.
