Launch Artist Coins

Launch your own Artist Coin and own the economy of your brand. Artist Coins are Solana tokens paired against $AUDIO with a bonding curve—fair launch, instant trading, graduation to AMM at 1M $AUDIO market cap. See Artist Coins for the full tokenomics and flywheel.

What You Need

Parameter	Required	Description
`name`	Yes	Coin name (e.g. "Artist Name Coin")
`symbol`	Yes	Ticker (e.g. "ARTIST")
`description`	Yes	Short description for metadata
`image`	Yes	Square image (PNG, up to 1000×1000)
`creatorWallet`	Yes	Solana public key of the artist
`initialBuyAmountAudio`	No	Optional first buy in $AUDIO (raw amount, no decimals)

All Artist Coins share the same curve config: 1B supply, 9 decimals, paired to $AUDIO, 50% of supply to creator vesting over 5 years, graduation at 1M $AUDIO.

Launch Flow

Metadata — Build token metadata (name, symbol, description, image URL). Upload image and JSON to a decentralized store (e.g. Irys/Arweave).
Config — Create a bonding curve config on Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve program. The config defines the curve shape, graduation threshold, vesting schedule, and fee split.
Pool + First Buy — Create the pool with your mint and config, then optionally execute the creator's first buy in the same flow.
Reward Pool — Create a reward pool for the coin (used for fan campaigns and programmable distribution).

The pool is created with your wallet as poolCreator, so you own the launch. The config is created by an authorized launchpad partner that has integrated with the OAP infrastructure.

TypeScript Sketch

Using @meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk and Solana web3, the structure looks like:

import { DynamicBondingCurveClient } from "@meteora-ag/dynamic-bonding-curve-sdk";
import { Connection, Keypair, PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";
import BN from "bn.js";
 
const AUDIO_MINT = new PublicKey(
  "9LzCMqDgTKYz9Drzqnpgee3SGa89up3a247ypMj2xrqM",
);
 
// 1. Create config (curve design, graduation, vesting)
const configKeypair = Keypair.generate();
const createConfigTx = await dbcClient.partner.createConfig({
  payer: authorityKeypair.publicKey,
  config: configKeypair.publicKey,
  quoteMint: AUDIO_MINT,

const mintKeypair = Keypair.generate();

    },
    firstBuyParam: initialBuyAmountAudio
      ? { buyer: creatorWallet, buyAmount: new BN(initialBuyAmountAudio) }
      : undefined,
  },
);

The creator signs createPoolTx (and swapBuyTx if doing an initial buy). After the pool is live, a reward pool is created for the mint.

Where to Launch

The Audius launchpad provides a UI to launch coins. Because the infrastructure is open—Meteora DBC, Solana, reward pools—any app can integrate. Build your own frontend or automation, or use existing tools.
