NEAR meme coins: how launches work on Intear and meme.cooking
New NEAR meme coins start on launchpads. Intear's launchpad opens each token straight into an Intear DEX launch pool against NEAR or TEAR, often with a high fee that falls over the first hours. meme.cooking tokens such as PURGE and JAMBO trade on Rhea pools. nearswaps Pulse lists new launches as they happen, with a one-tap buy.

The launchpads
| Launchpad | Token accounts | Where it trades | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intear launchpad (launch.intea.rs) | *.launch.intear.near, *.launch-v2.intear.near | Intear DEX launch pools | v2 pairs a launch with NEAR or with TEAR; new v2 launches often start at a 50% fee falling over hours; launch pools can't have liquidity removed |
| meme.cooking | *.meme-cooking.near, e.g. purge-558.meme-cooking.near | Rhea pools after launch (PURGE's main pool is Rhea pool 5650) | an auction where every depositor buys at the same price; with at least 4,000 NEAR deposited the token opens on Rhea at the auction price, all deposited NEAR goes into the pool and its LP shares are locked (docs) |
| Nearly (nearly.trade) | launch tokens with their own pool | a Rhea DCL pool from day one | no bonding curve; its liquidity can never be removed; creator buy and sell tax |
| JustHoot (justhoot.fun) | sub-accounts of launchpad.justhoot.near | a Rhea DCL pool against NEAR | the token contract holds its own launch liquidity |
| Shards (shards.market) | Shards launch tokens | a bonding curve, then the launch's own pool | listed here once it graduates with at least 50 NEAR in its pool |
What "graduated" means
A bonding-curve launch graduates when the curve fills and the token moves into a pool. For launchpads with a pool from day one, the shared listing bar is used instead: 100 NEAR of liquidity and 50 holders (Nearly, JustHoot and Intear). A listed token stays listed until it drops below half of that. Tokens imitating one community token's name are filtered out, and the token check flags copies of any listed symbol.
Following launches in Pulse
Pulse shows three columns: New (launched in the last 48 hours), Final stretch (35% or more of the way to graduating) and Graduated. Each card shows age, holders, trades, pool size, dev buy, tax and market cap, with a one-tap buy using Auto slippage (10% on a bonding curve, 5% elsewhere). A trade that would move the price more than 10% asks first.
The risks that are specific to launches
- Launch fees. TEAR's own pool started at 70% and fell to about 1% in ten minutes. Above 10% the fee line turns red and the swap asks for a second click.
- Creator taxes. Shown in the quote; above 10% the swap refuses the token.
- Concentration. Dev wallets and linked holders: run the token check first (how it works).
- Thin pools. Small buys move the price a lot; see price impact and slippage.
Orders on launches
Stop-loss and limit orders work on Nearly and JustHoot pools, Shards launches (on the curve too) and Intear launch pools, including tokens not yet on the lists. 1-click works once the token is switched on (0.03 NEAR once, for everyone, on DCL and Shards).
