Getting started

What Staple is

Staple launches memecoins on Solana. Each coin is a normal SPL token that trades on its own Meteora pool, priced in SOL. When you launch, you pair the coin with one of 20 commodity markets, from gold to eggs, and the market's price is shown right next to your coin.

Connect a wallet

Press Connect wallet in the top right. Staple lists the Solana wallets your browser has, with Phantom, Solflare and Backpack first. After connecting, your wallet asks you to sign a short sign-in message. Signing a message is free: it sends no transaction and moves no funds.

On a phone, see Wallets on mobile. The badge in the header always shows which network Staple is on.

Launch a coin

The launch page walks you through five steps. Nothing is sent until the last one, and nothing counts as launched until the network confirms it.

1. Name the coin

   A name of 2 to 32 characters, a ticker of 2 to 10 letters or digits, an optional description of up to 500 characters, and an image (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2 MB).

2. Choose its settings

   Supply, decimals, an optional locked allocation for you, whether the name can change later, the curve preset and an optional first buy. Every option is explained in Launch settings explained.

3. Pick a market

   One of the 20 commodity markets. Each shows its latest price, where it comes from and when it applies.

Launching costs about 0.0266 SOL in network rent and fees, plus any first buy. Details in What a launch costs.

Trade

Open any coin and use the trade panel. Choose buy or sell, enter an amount and check the quote: how much you receive, the minimum you will accept, and the fee. Then approve in your wallet.

• Every trade pays a 1% fee in SOL. See Fees for who gets it.
• Slippage is 1% unless you change it (0.1% to 50%). The minimum you receive always comes from a fresh quote made by the server when you press the button.
• After your wallet sends the trade, Staple reads the transaction back from the network. The amounts you see come from there.

Follow coins and markets

Follow a coin or a market to keep it close. Activity streams every launch, trade and graduation as it happens, and Portfolio shows the coins your wallet holds, read from the network.
