# Pump Fun Launches

### Overview

Pump.fun doesn’t have a **pre-TGE (Token Generation Event)** phase — when a token is launched, it goes **straight to the open market**.\
Because of this, Blips uses a **custom launch mechanism** built to protect Early Access depositors and secure the **best possible price** while respecting Pump.fun’s open and transparent model.

***

### Step-by-Step

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Token Launch & Developer Lock

* The developer launches the token
* **Developer tokens are locked immediately** for a minimum of **3 months**, ensuring full alignment and preventing early dumps.
* Tgmetrics receives the **Contract Address (CA)** directly from the developer before it’s made public.

This allows us to act faster and protect the early access pool from snipers.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Early Access Buy Execution

As soon as the token goes live, Tgmetrics executes the **buy operation** using the total SOL deposited in the Early Access pool (e.g., 30 SOL).

* The buy happens **on the open market**, seconds after the token creation.
* The process is **automated**, minimizing delay and human error.
* The goal is always to get the **best entry price possible** while avoiding sniper bots and excessive slippage.

We don’t pre-buy or front-run — we execute in real time, following Pump.fun’s decentralized design, but with optimized precision.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Token Allocation**

Once the buy is complete, all purchased tokens are distributed **proportionally** among Early Access depositors.

**Example:**

* Total pool: **30 SOL**
* Total tokens acquired: **50,000,000**
* A depositor added **1 SOL**

They receive:

> **(1 / 30) × 50,000,000 = 1,666,667 tokens**

Every depositor gets the same token-per-SOL rate — **no one pays more or less**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### **Vesting & Claim**

After the purchase:

* Tokens are assigned to each wallet according to vesting rules.
* Vesting begins immediately after the TGE:
  * **35% unlocked at TGE**
  * **65% released weekly (will be sent to the user's wallet)**

Read more [here](/blips/vesting-period-blippers-and-early-access.md) about the Vesting Period.

### Built for Fairness and Safety

We know Pump.fun launches are fast and competitive — that’s why we designed this system to **protect you**, not expose you.

Here’s how we ensure that:

| Protection                  | Description                                                                                                   |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Private CA Access**       | Tgmetrics receives the CA before public release, giving us a short reaction window to execute before snipers. |
| **Automated Buy**           | Executed by system scripts for precision and speed — no manual timing.                                        |
| **Dev Tokens Locked**       | Minimum 3 months — mandatory for all Blips campaigns.                                                         |
| **Fair Share Distribution** | Every SOL in the pool gets the same rate of tokens.                                                           |
| **On-Chain Proof**          | All transactions and allocations are verifiable.                                                              |

### Other Launchpads

Each launchpad (Bonk, Believe, Z Combinator, etc.) has its own structure and requirements.\
We’re preparing detailed guides for each one — explaining how the Early Access and Blips systems adapt to them.

These guides will be available soon.
