Who publishes MemeFees

We publish all research under the MemeFees name. The MemeFees Editorial Team writes and checks reviews, comparisons and referral guides. The MemeFees Data Team runs the data collection and the calculations behind the tables. The about page says how the site makes money.

How we choose platforms

The main fee table ranks every source in DefiLlama's Launchpad category that collected at least $10,000 in fees over the last 30 days. Trading apps and Telegram bots come from DefiLlama's Trading App and Telegram Bot categories. A platform does not need a profile, a review or a referral program to appear in the ranking.

We leave a source out of the ranking only when its fees would count another launchpad twice or do not come from token launches. The home page lists each excluded source with the reason.

A referral program is not a condition for a review. We review Pons, which has no referral program. The referral codes page also lists 15 platforms for which we hold no code.

How referral links work

Some outbound links carry a referral code that we hold. When you sign up or trade through one of these links, the platform may pay MemeFees a share of your trading fees. Each referral link is marked as sponsored in the page code, and the page says beside the link that we may earn a commission.

Referral payments never change a ranking. The tables sort platforms by the metric you select, such as fees over 24 hours or 30 days. Our list of referral codes is not an input to that sort. A platform with no code can rank first, and a platform with a code can rank last.

A button names a benefit, such as “10% off”, only when the platform's own docs state it or the code owner reported it. Other buttons say “Visit”. A short note near each button or table says that the links are referral links. We use only codes that we hold, and we do not publish codes from other people.

How we check facts

We check each fee, code benefit and eligibility rule against a primary source: the platform's own docs, fee page, terms of use or contract code. Fee and revenue figures come from DefiLlama and from our own reads of selected on-chain contracts, as the methodology explains. A news article or a third-party review alone is not enough for a fee or a benefit.

Each review, profile and referral guide lists its sources and shows the date of our last check. We change that date only after we read the sources again. When we cannot find a primary source for a claim, we leave the claim out or say that we could not confirm it.

What the benefit labels mean

Documented benefit

The platform's own docs state what an invited user gets.

Reported by the code owner

The person who holds the code told us the terms, and the platform's public docs do not list them. Check the rate in the app before you trade.

Program terms apply

The platform documents a program, such as a sign-up bonus, with conditions that limit who gets it.

Benefit unconfirmed

We found no source for what an invited user gets. We show the link, but we do not promise a benefit, and search engines do not index the page.

Hands-on testing

Unless a page says that we tested a product, its fee figures come from published fee schedules and on-chain data. A dollar example on such a page is our arithmetic from the published rate.

How we fix errors

When we find a factual error, we fix the page and add an entry to the corrections page with the date, the page, the wrong statement and the corrected one. Smaller updates go into the changelog. We do not delete a correction after we publish it.
