What is StonkFun?
StonkFun.xyz is a non-custodial token launchpad on Solana that allows users to create and trade tokens linked to a broad range of market narratives. Unlike launchpads focused only on SOL trading pairs, StonkFun supports pairs involving tokenized stocks, pre-IPO assets, currencies, leveraged tokens, SOL, and selected custom assets.
How Token Launches Work
As a creator, you have to choose a name, symbol, image, trading pair, and fee model before approving the launch from your wallet. Launching a token generally involves:
- Connecting a Solana wallet
- Selecting the asset against which the token will trade (Quote token)
- Adding its name, symbol, and logo
- Choosing a standard or reward-based fee model
- Configuring optional launch settings
The token, liquidity pool, and initial payment are created together.
This is where you select the quote token which your launch token should trade against. Add social links to the token so that it is included in the metadata of the token created.
Available Trading Pairs
StonkFun allows creators to pair tokens with several types of assets, including:
- Tokenized public stocks
- Tokenized pre-IPO companies
- Currencies
- Leveraged tokens
- SOL
- Supported custom tokens
This structure enables launches based on financial narratives, such as technology companies, market sectors, private businesses, or macroeconomic themes.
Standard Fee Coins
The standard model is intended for creators who want to earn a share of trading fees. By default, the token trades through a pool charging a 1% fee, split equally between the creator and the platform. Creators may also select a 2% pool. Under this option, the creator receives 1.5% from each trade while the platform retains 0.5%. Creator fees accrue over time and can be claimed from the token’s page. Depending on the trading pair, earnings may consist of both the launched token and its paired asset.

Additionally, a token page includes extra details such as the total number of holders, the amount held in the token by the highest holders and the value of their holdings.
Reward Coins
Reward coins replace the creator’s fee position with rewards for holders. These tokens charge a transfer fee (typically 1% or an optional 3%) that is distributed to holders in the paired asset. Because the fee applies to transfers rather than only platform trades, rewards may be generated when the token moves across compatible venues.
Risks and Limitations
Tokens launched through StonkFun can be highly speculative and volatile. Thin liquidity, large creator holdings, transfer fees, and airdrop allocations can affect prices and trading costs. Tokenized stock or pre-IPO pairs may also carry liquidity, regulatory, and tracking risks. StonkFun’s non-custodial design gives users wallet control, but it does not protect against market losses, malicious tokens, or incorrect transactions.
Conclusion
StonkFun.xyz is a Solana launchpad built around flexible trading pairs and customizable token incentives. Creators can launch tokens paired with assets such as tokenized stocks, currencies, or SOL, then choose between earning trading fees or distributing rewards to holders.
