27 free guides, written by the studio that built 69 meme coin launches
Meme coin guides
Everything on this site that is free to read, grouped by the question you are asking. Each guide carries dated sources, the real fee or the real number, and no email wall. The studio makes its money on the design work, so the guides can afford to be honest about when you should do it yourself.
Where to start
If you have never launched a token, read how to create a meme coin first and then what it actually costs. If the token exists and the site is the problem, go straight to how to make a meme coin website and the free template. If you are deciding who to pay, the studio comparison and the scam checklist cover it. Everything else below is a specific question with a specific answer.
Launching a meme coin
- How to create a meme coin in 2026. Nine steps from chain choice to listings, with the real cost of each one. Start here if you have not launched before.
- What makes a meme coin successful. Fewer than 2% of pump.fun tokens graduate. What the ones that last did differently, written for launchers, not traders.
- How long do meme coins last. First-party data from 69 builds: 19 launched on their own domain, 7 still resolve. The survivors are named.
- Community takeover playbook. Who to contact, how to claim the DEX Screener page, and how to replace a site when the old dev owns the domain.
- Launch on Robinhood Chain. How Pons works as the chain's pump.fun, what it costs, and when it beats Solana.
What it actually costs
- How much it costs to launch a meme coin. Every 2026 fee with a dated source: creation, liquidity, listings, design. Four realistic budgets.
- Pump.fun launch cost. 0 SOL to create, 1.25% on every curve trade, 0.015 SOL to graduate, and the costs the launchpad does not cover.
- Pump.fun graduation rate. The real number, the market cap threshold, and what moves a token across the line.
- Pump.fun vs LetsBonk. Creation cost, curve fees, graduation thresholds and where the token ends up, compared side by side.
- DEX Screener Enhanced Token Info. What the $299 changes on your page, how fast approval is, and whether a fresh launch should buy it.
- DEX Screener trending. Trending cannot be bought. What Boosts and trending bar ads cost, and which Telegram sellers to ignore.
- DEX Screener banner size and cost. The free and paid slots, the rules that get banners rejected, and why a fixed pixel number goes stale.
Website and brand
- How to make a meme coin website. The sections a launch site needs, the mistakes that make a token look abandoned, free hosting.
- Free meme coin website template. Static HTML, mobile ready, chart embed, how-to-buy section. No email signup.

- 10 meme coin website examples, measured. Famous launch sites measured on HTML weight, contract in page, chart link and buy links.
- How to make a meme coin logo. The 1024 master, the export sizes, and the 32 pixel test every logo has to pass.
- Meme coin logo generators tested. AI generators and icon libraries judged against the avatar, the sticker and the chart thumbnail.
- 150 meme coin name ideas. Names sorted by style, a free generator that runs in your browser, and how to check a name is free.
- Meme coin characters that stuck. From Doge to Pudgy Penguins: the four traits the survivors share and what separates a character from a logo.
- What is a crypto whitepaper. What goes in one, how it differs from a litepaper, and whether a meme coin needs one at all.
Promotion and launch day

- Sniper wallets. How same-block sniping works on Solana and EVM chains, and how to spot and track snipers at launch.
Hiring, or not

- Fiverr vs a named designer. What a $50 gig gets you versus a named designer at $347, including the cases where Fiverr wins.
- How not to get scammed hiring a designer. Eight checks before you send money: portfolio verification, payment order, source files, escrow.
- Hire a meme coin developer, or not. When you need custom contracts, bots or a dApp, and when the launchpad already deploys the token for free.
How these guides are written
Every number has a source and a date next to it, because meme coin fees change under you. Pump.fun changed its fee structure more than once in 2025 and 2026, DEX Screener repriced Enhanced Token Info, and graduation thresholds moved with the SOL price. When a guide says a fee, it says when that fee was checked. If you find one that has gone stale, tell me and it gets fixed the same week.
The guides are also written from the inside of the work. The studio has shipped 69 documented meme coin builds since 2020, so the examples are projects that exist, the survival numbers are counted from this portfolio, and the advice about hiring includes the honest cases where the right answer is not to hire anyone. Where a guide recommends this studio, the price next to it is the same published price on the pricing page.
New guides land every few weeks. This page is updated the same day one goes live, so it is the one URL worth bookmarking.
