# The shift in control LaunchCTRL is a Solana token launchpad designed to give creators real control over how their token launches and trades. Most launches have their fate decided in the first 60 seconds by the upper 1% abusing the lack of safety rails current launchpads offer. Devs programmatically farm all day, and influencers trick and use their followers as easy exit liquidity. We believe the game shouldn't be one-sided. If the 1% can continuously abuse the unsuspecting 99%, then we believe the 99% should be able to return the favor, or at least have the option to protect themselves. ## Level the playing field * **Platforms blocked at the protocol level.** During the launch window, your token refuses transactions originating from trading terminals and buy bots. Only legitimate DEXes can interact. * **KOLs** **play by your rules.** Block your least favorite KOLs and bad actors from buying your token at launch. Choose from our comprehensive list of known KOL wallets, or bring your own list. * **Anti-bundling.** Slot-based rate limits make bundles fail in the first minutes of the launch window. Devs can't atomically bundle the initial buy with other buys in a bundle either. * **Nefarious devs are nerfed.** Deployers of tokens on LaunchCTRL are subject to a 2% total supply cap on their initial buy as well as subject to any decay fees active. Deployers are also unable to bundle supply in the initial transaction as mentioned above. * **Decaying sell taxes that fund liquidity.** Early dumpers pay a steep tax that buys back tokens against your own curve and seeds the eventual LP. Sell pressure becomes liquidity. * **Hold-to-earn rewards.** After migration, anyone holding a token for 10+ days without selling, earns a share of the trading fees produced by the Meteora AMM. No staking contract and no lock times. Every 10 day period that you hold, you earn. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
