Methodology

Where the numbers come from

MemeFees sources all live fees, revenue, changes and market share figures from DefiLlama's fees dashboard, refreshing roughly hourly. We do not adjust, estimate or extrapolate any number. If DefiLlama does not track a figure, we show a dash.

Fees vs revenue

On MemeFees, fees are the total amount users pay a launchpad, and revenue is the share of those fees the platform itself keeps after paying creators, liquidity providers and burns.

Fees are the total amounts paid by users of a platform (trading fees on bonding curves, pool fees, launch fees). Revenue is the share of those fees the platform itself keeps, after creator payouts, liquidity-provider shares, buybacks and similar. A platform with high fees but low revenue is typically sharing heavily with creators or LPs.

Known quirks in the data

• pump.fun is tracked separately from PumpSwap, its post-graduation DEX. Our pump.fun figures are the launchpad side only, which understates the total ecosystem.
• FOMO is tracked as one app (category "Trading App"), so its figures include all in-app trading, not just launchpad activity. It is on the scoreboard because launching is a core part of the product.
• LetsBONK runs on Raydium LaunchLab infrastructure; DefiLlama splits the branded frontend from the underlying protocol.
• "Market share" is each platform's share of total fees across DefiLlama's Launchpad category in the given window. It is a fee-based proxy, not a volume or user count.
• Volume series exist for roughly half the platforms (DefiLlama's volume adapters cover fewer launchpads than its fee adapters). Where a volume chart or stat is missing, the adapter does not exist. We never estimate it.
• We rank the launchpads DefiLlama tracks fees for. Launch platforms that only report TVL (ICO- and locker-style products like DxSale, or crowdfunding protocols) cannot be ranked by activity and are out of scope.

What we add on top of DefiLlama

DefiLlama is the best open fee aggregator, and we credit it everywhere. What its generic tables do not offer for this niche, we build: dominance-over-time for the category, per-chain fee aggregation, a concentration index, token-level trending from the platforms' own APIs, curated mechanics and head-to-head comparisons, coverage healing (protocols that fall out of the category feed keep their pages), and self-sourced launch and graduation counters sampled hourly by our own pipeline. No aggregator publishes these numbers.

Platform-level token data

Top-token tables on platform pages come from each platform's own public API: Jupiter's token API (which labels Solana tokens by launchpad), Raydium LaunchLab's list API (LetsBONK bonding progress), Zora's Coins API, the clanker.world API and four.meme's ranking API. Each table names its source. These are the platforms' own reported numbers, not our estimates; when an API is unavailable the section simply disappears rather than showing stale or invented data.

What we deliberately do not show

You will not find "top trader" wallet leaderboards with PnL or win-rate here. Computing those honestly requires a full chain indexer; the free sources that claim to offer them are unverifiable or paid. We would rather skip a table than fake one. The same goes for per-launchpad graduation-rate statistics: no open source publishes them consistently across platforms today.

Curated facts

Launch costs, fee structures, graduation mechanics and creator-reward descriptions are curated from each platform's official documentation and announcements, and kept deliberately qualitative where platforms change parameters frequently. Fee schedules in this market change often. Always verify against official docs before acting. Found an error? The fastest fix is to tell us.

Corrections

When we get something wrong, the fix lands in the code and the change is logged in the changelog with a real date. We do not rewrite silently. Every platform page shows when its curated facts were last verified and lists the sources, so our work is checkable without trusting us.

Independence & disclosure

Rankings are pure on-chain data and cannot be bought or influenced. MemeFees is not affiliated with any listed platform. Some outbound links are referral links, marked with rel="sponsored"; they never affect rankings or cost you anything extra. Memecoins are extremely high-risk. Most tokens launched on these platforms go to zero. Nothing here is financial advice.

data license & open API

All scoreboard data on this site is free to reuse with attribution and a link back to memefees.com. The same data is available as JSON at /api/stats: totals, per-platform 24h/7d/30d fees and revenue, 24-hour market share, and an asOf timestamp, cached for one hour.
