Changelog
Product updates, data coverage changes and corrections, listed by date.
2026-09-30
- Chain totals no longer count Meteora DBC, Graphite and Binance Alpha on top of the launchpads that contain them. The concentration index (HHI) now uses one share per ranked launchpad.
- Security updates: Next.js 16.3.8, noindex headers on all API responses, and a locked database API (row-level security on, public roles revoked).
- Per-launchpad statistics pages now show the UTC day of their value in the title instead of "Today". The first sentence names its source: "per DefiLlama" for fees and revenue, "counted by MemeFees" for launches, graduations and survival. The 7-day and 30-day tiles say what they are, for example "7-day daily avg".
- pump.fun launch counts come from sampled feeds and are lower bounds. The pump.fun launches page is now open to search once it has 14 days of counts, and it says "at least" in the title, the heading and the first sentence. Other lower-bound pages stay out of search. Per-launchpad market share pages are no longer indexed; the market share page links to each of them.
- The report hub is hidden from navigation and search until the first report is published. Sitemap dates for data pages are now the newest complete UTC day, and structured data uses the same date.
- Launchpad profiles show a visible heading with the fee keywords and one dated answer sentence from DefiLlama data. Home, directory, statistics, comparison and terminal pages have keyword headings, visible breadcrumbs and descriptive links. Referral pages use the format Brand Referral Code "CODE": benefit.
- llms.txt and llms-full.txt now start with the data sources and APIs, list only pages that are open to search, and put referral guides last. FOMO is described as a trading app whose app fees are ranked alongside launchpads.
2026-09-29
- New launchpad profile layout: fee chart in the centre, key figures and platform links on the left, recent rule changes on the right, then fees by quarter, competitors on the same chains and sources. The profile rank now counts every ranked launchpad, not only profiled ones.
2026-09-28
- Top-token rows on launchpad profiles have a GMGN trade link with the MemeFees referral code. The link is labelled as a referral link and does not affect rankings.
2026-09-27
- The main fee table now ranks every source in DefiLlama's Launchpad category with at least $10K in fees over 30 days, also without a MemeFees profile (marked "Not reviewed"). Bankr and Creator.bid are ranked although DefiLlama files them outside the category. Graphite, Binance Alpha and the StonkBrokers entries stay out of the table and the totals, because their fees repeat other launchpads or are not launchpad fees.
- New site design with a dark theme and a lime accent.
2026-09-25
- The ten largest launchpad pages have a sourced fee table, launch steps, rule changes with dates and answers to common questions. Each fee is checked against the platform's own documentation, with the check date shown.
2026-09-23
- Added per-launchpad statistics pages for launches per day, graduation rate, daily revenue, market share and survival after graduation, plus pages for launches today, curve stall rate and liquidity decay. Each page has a CSV and JSON download and an embed.
- Added weekly and monthly reports built from one database read after each UTC period. Numbers are frozen at publication; a correction is a dated note.
- Launch counts are complete only with proof per counting method. A zero count on a day with other activity is now a lower bound. NOXA launches are counted from its new launcher contract.
- Row-level token data is kept for 12 to 14 days. Daily values and lifetime counts are stored permanently, and older rows are archived as daily files before deletion.
2026-09-22
- Sitemap dates for live data pages follow their latest data. Content and market pages render as cached pages that refresh every few minutes, and keep the last good version when the database cannot be read.
- Added social cards for launchpad, terminal, comparison, review and referral pages. Tokens with very low liquidity are hidden from the default live lists. Partner offers moved off trust pages and below the main content elsewhere.
2026-09-12
- Platform profiles show the full financial history from DefiLlama, with totals per period and the contribution of each protocol where a platform has more than one.
2026-09-11
- Corrected daily launch leaders to use the selected UTC day's observations, including the homepage's current-day leader. Incomplete counts retain their plus sign in summaries, daily charts and tables.
- Expanded the platform directory and search to include labelled DefiLlama source listings. Reviewed profiles, trading-fee facts and source-only records remain distinct. The public ecosystem API shares the directory and exposes the same coverage counts.
- Reorganized platform profiles around trading costs, activity charts and period totals. Added direct navigation between statistics, reviews and referral offers. Daily charts now have date inspection, period selection, reporting counts and CSV exports.
- Shortened repeated referral explanations and comparison excerpts. Corrected the FOMO guide's app-trading scope and removed unsupported audience and market-leadership wording. Source fact-review dates remain separate from editorial changes.
2026-09-09
- Updated crawler access for the documented Mistral and Amazon search and retrieval agents. Page metadata now arrives in the HTML head for every client. Added individually linked Markdown references for published platform facts, reviews and referral guides, with canonical human URLs, sources and original editorial dates.
- Simplified llms.txt into an on-demand retrieval guide, added citation guidance, and clarified collection versus source update times. FOMO's machine-readable fact sheet no longer includes launch-cost, graduation or creator-reward fields belonging to the historical launchpad template.
- Corrected graduation metrics for direct-pool platforms: unavailable counts, rates and times are now null in public history and future rollups. Seven-day summaries exclude incomplete rate cohorts and values outside their reporting window. The time column is now explicitly a median of daily medians, with the correct even-day calculation.
- Withdrew unverified current Believe fee and launch terms, linked the available official app and Flywheel workflow sources, and clarified the scope of historical fee observations. Page modification dates are now distinct from source fact-review dates.
- Corrected daily history ingestion: rolling 24-hour snapshots are no longer assigned to UTC calendar days. Only dated upstream observations supply daily financial metrics; delayed observations remain unknown until imported. Historical financial refreshes run separately from launch-count rollups, so late source publications can be collected without rerunning counts.
- Corrected pump.fun's documented bonding-curve fee to 1.25%, updated FOMO web availability and referral eligibility, and separated Pons V1 terms from current V2 terms. Reviews, platform facts and machine-readable exports use the same corrected records and linked sources.
- Historical fee-share charts now preserve missing reports, show daily reporting coverage, exclude overlapping settlement layers and provide an accessible table of the plotted values. Completed-day charts retain yesterday when the source already excludes today's partial day.
- Dataset descriptions now share consistent identities and use actual observation periods. Public API licenses distinguish MemeFees-produced data from upstream source terms. Reviews and comparisons display available source retrieval times separately from editorial dates.
- Fixed page-specific social sharing URLs, accessible control labels and terminal heading order. Coin lists and the market ribbon now request appropriately sized CoinGecko logos.
2026-09-06
- Added Bags V2 factory discovery and bonding-curve state on Robinhood Chain. Factory metadata budgets now rotate across platforms so the busiest launchpad cannot crowd out quieter ones. Creation-only observations use an unknown trading stage until a source measures it.
- Coverage now shares the launch-feed cache and reports each platform's sources and available fields. Live API freshness is evaluated per request; cached status labels cannot outlive their snapshots. Coin quotes distinguish fresh, delayed and unavailable provider timestamps.
- Graduation outcomes now show eligible observations waiting for each horizon. Historical missed measurements remain disclosed separately from current worker health; publication still requires timely baselines, timely follow-ups and 30 eligible 24-hour observations.
- Added a public data catalog with endpoint parameters, fields, units, source terms and freshness conventions. Published platform facts, reviews and referral guides as filterable JSON from the same records as the website.
- Updated llms.txt and llms-full.txt to include the platform directory and configured chains. Reference text no longer embeds changing market snapshots; live APIs preserve their own observation times. Corrected overbroad coverage descriptions and graduation-filter documentation.
- Added machine-readable discovery links across the site and structured data for the platform directory and listed coin dataset.
- Page content now arrives inside the main HTML element without a JavaScript-dependent loading shell. Navigation links show pending feedback while server-rendered pages load.
2026-09-04
- Trade links on /new and /graduating now point only at partner terminals: GMGN (token deep link with our referral code on Solana, BSC and Base), plus Axiom and FOMO as referral sign-up links on Solana rows. The neutral Jupiter, PancakeSwap, Uniswap and DexScreener links are gone; rows on chains no partner covers show no trade link, and the token name still links to its launchpad page. API change: /api/launches rows lost neutralTradeUrl and neutralTradeLabel and gained altTrade (array of {url, label}).
- Home page restructured into five sections: the answer with fee totals first, the scoreboard (fees before volume, both always visible), market share with dominance history, the engine strip, and the long tail. The trending table moved to /new, the per-chain table to /launchpads. Charts use one fixed colour per launchpad everywhere, and every date-based figure now names the last rolled-up day instead of the calendar's yesterday, which was blank between 00:00 and 00:10 UTC.
2026-09-03
- Data engine started. Every five minutes MemeFees now records, into its own database, every launch it sees per launchpad (exact counts, with a flag when a source window may have overflowed), every token past 50% of its bonding curve, every graduation with its timestamp, and follow-up market data 1 hour, 24 hours and 7 days after graduation. EVM launchpads (Pons, Pools, LetsCash, NOXA, Flap.sh) are counted straight from factory events by block cursor. Metrics built on this history (graduation rate, time to graduation, survival) follow once enough days exist; the first full day is 2026-09-04.
- Backfilled DefiLlama's daily fee, revenue and volume series per launchpad into the same store (rows labelled by source), plus our own August launch counts from the hourly snapshot pipeline.
- New page /status: last run, per-source success over 24 hours, saturation flags, unknown launchpad tags and database totals. JSON at /api/v1/health, checked hourly by an external job.
- four.meme launches are now counted from four.meme's own API rows; the factory-event count used since 16 August had silently returned nothing.
- Readability pass: body text raised to 14 px (15 px on phones) with a tighter type scale (11, 12.5, 14), small labels moved to a higher-contrast grey, chart axis labels rendered as HTML so they stay legible on phones, data tables keep their first column in place while scrolling and drop secondary columns below 640 px, navigation labels no longer wrap. The launch feed paints 50 rows first for a faster first view on mobile.
- Nightly backup: after the 00:10 UTC rollup the engine exports its durable tables (daily series, launches, graduations, follow-ups, notable tokens, snapshots) as CSV to a private Vercel Blob store, keeps 14 days, and reports the result on /status and /api/v1/health. The health check also turns red at 80% of database capacity.
- New section /stats built on the engine's own history: launches per day by launchpad (with completeness flags), market-share history back to 2024, and two pages that publish automatically once a full day of data exists, graduation rate with median time to graduation, and survival after graduation. Every launchpad page gained a launch-history block from the same data. New /data page and API v1 (/api/v1/pad-daily, launches-daily, graduations-daily, survival, market-share) with JSON and CSV under CC BY 4.0; Dataset schema for search engines; social cards per page; methodology page gained a metrics catalog with formulas and caveats.
- Correction: the Clanker 24-hour launch figure shown since 16 August was wrong. It was derived from Clanker's 'tokens deployed' counter, which turned out to refresh in batches (unchanged for 19 days, then +12,010 in one step). The figure is withdrawn; the data engine now counts Clanker launches from Clanker's own token list.
2026-09-02
- Audit fixes: launchpad logos are now requested at icon size from the DefiLlama CDN. Page weight on the scoreboard drops by about 1 MB.
- Dim text color raised to pass WCAG AA contrast.
- Content-Security-Policy, HSTS and frame-protection headers added.
- Market-share denominator no longer double counts settlement-layer fees (Meteora DBC).
- Review text now links to the matching comparison and stats pages.
- Comparison pages gained per-pair FAQs.
- Page titles shortened to fit search results.
- Number formatting hardened against malformed upstream values.
- Launch feed coverage widened: pump.fun now comes from pump.fun's own API (newest 200 coins) with Jupiter curve scores merged in; Bags via its launch feed plus Jupiter; Flap.sh, NOXA, bow.fun, o1 and Pons V1 read from factory events on Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, X Layer, Monad and MegaETH; Jupiter most-traded adds tagged Moonshot, Believe and MetaDAO tokens. FOMO remains unlisted (no feed, no readable factory).
- Scoreboard, launchpad, terminal and comparison pages now refresh every 5 minutes instead of hourly (DefiLlama itself updates about hourly).
- Trade buttons on /new and /graduating for Solana, BSC and Base now open the token on GMGN through our referral code (marked 'ref', disclosed under the table, rel=sponsored). A neutral Jupiter, PancakeSwap or Uniswap link sits under each button. Rankings and listings are unaffected.
- New page /graduating: the graduating-soon board moved from a home-page section to its own page, now covering every launchpad with a curve (pump.fun, Meteora DBC, LetsBONK and LaunchLab frontends, four.meme, Virtuals), ranked by curve progress with logo, market cap, volume, holders and trade links, plus the latest graduations with timestamps.
- New page /new: every new memecoin across all tracked launchpads in one live feed, with chain, age, market cap, bonding-curve progress, graduation status and a trade link. Sources: Jupiter, Raydium LaunchLab, four.meme, Clanker, Zora, Virtuals and Robinhood Chain factory events; JSON at /api/launches. Believe, Moonshot, FOMO, Flap.sh and NOXA have no public feed and are not listed.
- Added /llms-full.txt: every review, referral-code article and platform fact sheet plus a timestamped scoreboard snapshot in one document for programmatic access. Published crawler access rules in robots.txt.
- About page gained editorial standards and a machine-access section with citation guidance. Structured data now identifies the platform each page is about.
- www.memefees.com now redirects to memefees.com (it previously failed with a certificate error).
2026-08-21
- Launched on memefees.com as MemeFees (renamed from LaunchpadStats). Indexing enabled.
- Added cookieless Vercel Web Analytics (page views and referral-button clicks). The privacy page is updated to match; the previous 'no analytics' wording no longer applied and was corrected the same day.
- Brand favicon and icons replaced the framework default.
2026-08-17
- Added About, Privacy and Changelog pages, per-platform source lists and recorded review dates.
- Relabeled trader/holder figures to 'positions'. The per-token sums were too easy to misread as unique wallets.
- Contrast fix: secondary label color raised to clear WCAG AA (4.59:1).
- Public JSON API at /api/stats (free with attribution). Social preview images.
2026-08-16
- Exact on-chain launch counting for Pons, Pools, LetsCash, bow.fun, o1 and four.meme via factory events on free RPCs.
- Graduating-soon board (live bonding curves), platform-token prices, chart event markers, LaunchLab frontend directory, four.meme pool sampling with buyer/seller wallets.
- Volume series and 30D–ALL range toggle on every platform chart; volume-first scoreboard columns.
- Organic-volume share (Jupiter's model) surfaced. The organic-volume estimate is identified as a model output.
- Dominance-over-time chart, per-chain fee aggregation, HHI concentration index, cross-chain trending table.
- Hourly self-sourced metrics pipeline started (launch counters, observed graduations, trader samples).
2026-08-15
- Deployed to production (noindex until the domain launch). LetsCash promoted to a full page after passing $1M in 30d fees.
2026-08-14
- Added the Robinhood Chain wave with source-verified facts: Pons (V1+V2 summed), Pools, NOXA Fun, Meteora DBC.
- Binance Alpha and StonkBrokers deliberately kept long-tail-only. Their fee numbers do not measure launchpad activity.
- Added referral-code pages for GMGN, Jupiter and Bags, with separate labels for confirmed and unconfirmed benefits.
2026-08-13
- Full redesign (data-terminal), live provider panels (Jupiter, Raydium, Zora, Clanker, four.meme, Virtuals), self-healing DefiLlama data layer, market-share denominators made consistent.
2026-08-12
- First version: live DefiLlama scoreboard, 13 platform pages, 18 comparisons.
