About
About glow.
glow is a Solana launchpad for memes. Launch a token, choose who earns its creator fee, and trade it on a launch curve until it graduates to an open pool.
You’re on the test network: Solana devnet
The basics
How glow works
- 1
Launch
Pick a name, a $TICKER, an image and a creator fee of 0.5–3% of every trade. Launching costs 0.01 SOL plus network rent, shown before you sign. You can buy first, up to the size of the curve (5 SOL). - 2
Trade on the curve
Every token starts on a launch curve: the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell. There’s no slippage setting. You see the quote and the price impact, and above 5% we ask for a second tap. - 3
Graduate
When the curve holds 5 SOL, the token graduates. Its liquidity moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool, locked for good, and trading continues there. - 4
Creator fees
Part of every trade is the creator fee. The launcher keeps it, or nominates a social account that can claim it.
Standard or nominated
Standard launch
The launcher earns the creator fee and collects it from their wallet whenever they like.
Nominated launch
The launcher names an account on X, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Kick or GitHub, by username only. Fees are held for it, and its owner can claim them during the claim window.
A launcher can never claim a token they launched.
The claim window
The launcher picks 3 to 21 days (default 7). The account’s owner signs in with it, then claims to a wallet or declines. Declining needs no wallet. On the test network that’s 30 min to 3 h 30 min.
- While the window is open, fees are held on chain for the account. No one else can take them.
- If the owner claims, the fees held so far and every future fee are paid to the wallet they claimed with. Fees stay bound to that wallet. The owner can stop receiving at any time; what they’re owed is paid first.
- If the owner declines, the window closes unclaimed, or the owner stops receiving, the fees go to the token’s fallback, for good.
- The nominated name stays on the token after the window closes or a decline, so the record is complete.
Fallbacks
A nominated launch picks where the fees go if the account never takes them. The choice is fixed at launch, and no one can redirect the fees afterwards.
Buyback & burn
DefaultFees buy the token on the market, and everything bought is burned in the same transaction. Nobody ever holds the tokens bought.
Buybacks run in small batches with limited price impact. They don’t support the price.
Holder distributions
Fees are paid in SOL to eligible holders in rounds, weighted by balance and time held.
Each round is published a day before it pays, so anyone can check it. It isn’t a return on investment.
The liveness switch. If no holder distribution round runs for 90 days (15 h on the test network), anyone can switch the token to buyback & burn. If no buyback runs for 30 days (5 h on the test network) while at least 0.1 SOL waits, anyone can switch it to holder distributions. A switch is permanent, and the fees never go back to the account.
Recovering stuck balances. So no balance stays locked forever, glow can move these to its treasury: a fallback holding 0.01 SOL or less that has been idle for 30 days (5 h on the test network); the fallback of a graduated token whose pool was switched off by its operator, idle for 180 days (1 day 6 h on the test network); and SOL sent to glow’s program accounts by mistake. Tokens sent there by mistake go to an account glow’s admin controls.
Never touched: fees owed to an owner who’s receiving them, an open distribution round, tokens waiting to be burned, and a token’s locked liquidity.
The full rules are in the Risk Disclosure, sections 12–14.
Costs
Fees
Every trade on the launch curve pays one fee, taken in SOL and split three ways. The tier is chosen at launch and never changes.
| Creator fee tier | Platform | Total | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5% | 0.495% | 1.005% | 0.375% | 1.875% | 1.88% |
| 1% | 1% | 1% | 0.5% | 2.5% | 2.5% |
| 2% | 2.01% | 0.99% | 0.75% | 3.75% | 3.75% |
| 3% | 3% | 1% | 1% | 5% | 5% |
- Launch fee: 0.01 SOL per token, plus network rent for the token’s accounts. You see the total before you sign.
- After graduation, the Meteora pool charges a fixed fee per tier (the last column), shared by its locked liquidity positions.
- Claiming, declining and collecting cost nothing beyond network fees, and glow pays the network fee for a claim.

Is this a glow token?
A name, an image or the end of an address proves nothing. Paste the token’s address to check it against glow’s records.
Token addresses may end in a short suffix, but a suffix isn’t proof. Check here instead.
Security
Stay safe
We never ask for your seed phrase or private key.
Anyone who does isn’t glow, whatever they say.
We never message you first.
Not on any platform, and not about a nomination, a claim or fees. Claiming is free.
Read every request in your wallet.
Claiming or collecting pays you. It never asks you to send out SOL or tokens you hold.
A suffix isn’t proof.
Token addresses may end in a suffix, but anyone can copy one, like a name or an image. Use the checker above.
