GoFundMeme

GoFundMeme is a memecoin launchpad on Solana. It has nothing to do with GoFundMe, the crowdfunding site. Its pitch was that it was "the first memecoin launchpad to give 100% of the fees back to creators, traders and stakers", according to its FAQ. Creators could launch a token through a fair-launch presale or a bonding curve. The liquidity was then locked, not burned, so trading fees kept flowing to presale buyers and to holders who staked its GFM token.

As of 20 October 2026 the project looks inactive. The app no longer loads at gofundmeme.io, and the official X account has not posted in more than a year. The documentation is still online, and it is the main record of how the platform worked.

Is GoFundMeme still active?

Probably not. We found no shutdown post, but the signs point that way. Here is what we saw on 20 October 2026:

• The app is down. Both gofundmeme.io and www.gofundmeme.io now return a generic Firebase hosting certificate instead of the site. That usually means the domain is no longer connected to a live app. The app.gofundmeme.io subdomain does not resolve at all.
• The X account is dormant. @GoFundMemes has not posted in at least the last 330 days. The tracker MadeOnSol lists its social activity as dormant, with no post for about 438 days.
• Only the docs are still up. The documentation still describes the product. The fees page now holds only the line "Updated fees", with no figures. The points and rewards systems are still marked "coming soon".
• The token barely trades. Trading in GFM has fallen to a few dollars a day. The token and data widgets on this page show the live figures.

MadeOnSol listed a second domain, gofundmeme.com, as online in an earlier check. It did not load for us. Be careful with any site that claims to be GoFundMeme. Check it is the real one before you connect a wallet.

How did the GoFundMeme launchpad work?

GoFundMeme offered two ways to launch a token, according to its docs. Creators picked one when they set up a launch. Both ended with the token trading in a public pool.

Fair launch. This was a time-limited presale with a SOL target. Each contributor got tokens in proportion to the SOL they put in, so every SOL counted the same. The aim was to remove the head start that bots and insiders get on first-come launches. When the target was met, the protocol added the liquidity to an Orca ORCA$1.77+2.6% pool automatically. Creators could set a total supply from 1 million to 1 quadrillion tokens. They could also add up to four extra allocations, for marketing or the team for example, which could be claimed after a successful raise.

Bonding curve. The price was set by a formula and rose as more people bought, with no order book. Creators could seed a bonding-curve pool with between 0 and 70 SOL.

Boosters and vesting. Fair-launch buyers could take a bigger share of the fixed supply by locking their tokens for longer. The docs give examples of a 2x booster with 6 hours of vesting and a 3x booster with 24 hours. Locks could run as long as 2,400 hours, or 100 days. Boosters did not create new tokens. They moved allocation toward buyers who chose to lock.

GoFundMeme fees, referral rewards and LP fee sharing

The main design choice was to lock the liquidity-pool (LP) tokens rather than burn them. Many launchpads burn LP tokens to show that the liquidity cannot be pulled, but that also throws away the trading fees the pool earns. GoFundMeme locked them in a contract and shared the fees it collected through a process it called "Harvest".

The docs set out these figures:

• Trading fee: 0.75% to 0.9% per trade, with commissions worked out on a 1% standard fee.
• Referrals: 30% of a referred user's trading fees went to the direct referrer, then 3% and 2% to the second and third levels. Users who signed up through a referral link paid 10% less in fees.
• LP fee split: 90% went to presale buyers in proportion to their contribution, and 10% went to the GFM staking network.
• Harvesting: anyone could trigger a harvest that paid out the fees, and they earned 1% of those fees for doing it. This kept payouts running without the team. The docs set no deadline or cap on claims.

The current fees page no longer lists any of these numbers, so treat them as how the platform worked while it was live.

GFM token and staking

GFM is the project's token. In January 2025 the team announced GFM on X as "a fully community-owned memecoin experiment. No VCs, no team", and said all protocol fees would go to holders. The "pump" ending on the mint address shows that GFM was itself launched on Pump.fun, not on GoFundMeme.

Holders who staked GFM shared the staking network's cut of LP fees, in proportion to their stake. CoinCodex shows the whole supply of about 1 billion GFM in circulation. The token peaked on 28 January 2025, days after launch, and has since lost almost all of that value. Staking rewards came only from launchpad trading. If nobody uses the launchpad, there is little left to share.

Is GoFundMeme safe? Audits, KYC and risks

Audits. The FAQ says the platform "is also regularly audited", but it names no auditor and links no report. We found no published audit. Treat the platform as unaudited.

Contracts and upgrades. The docs and SDK pages give no program addresses. That means we could not check who controls upgrades to GoFundMeme's contracts. The FAQ says funds stay on-chain under the user's control, but we could not confirm this independently.

KYC. Creators could choose to require Civic identity checks, which use face scans to enforce one wallet per person on a launch. It was optional for each launch, so most launches may not have used it.

Inactivity risk. This is now the biggest risk. With the app offline, buyers on a past launch may have to claim locked LP fees or unlock vested tokens through the SDK or directly on-chain. Copycat sites are also a danger for any project whose official domain has gone dark.

Memecoin risk. Locked liquidity and fair launches do not stop a token from losing nearly all its value, and GFM itself shows it.

Who was GoFundMeme for?

GoFundMeme was built for two groups. One was memecoin creators who wanted a presale with a target. The other was buyers who wanted a fair share instead of racing bots on a bonding curve. Fee sharing paid buyers who held and collected LP fees, not those who sold within minutes. Developers could build on it with the @gofundmeme/sdk and @gofundmeme/sdk-frontend packages. Live feeds covered pools, swaps and funding.

Don't launch a token here now: the app is offline. The page matters mainly to people who still hold positions from past launches. It is also a useful case study in how a launchpad tried to share its fees.

GoFundMeme vs Pump.fun and other Solana launchpads

Pump.fun is the launchpad most creators use. It sells tokens on a bonding curve and keeps its own fees. When a curve fills, the token moves to a trading pool. GoFundMeme did the opposite: presale targets, locked LP and fees paid back to users. It never came close to Pump.fun's size. Its own token even launched on Pump.fun, which tells you where the buyers were.

If you want a launchpad that is still active, the alternatives include Pump.fun and Raydium RAY$1.97+4.6%'s LaunchLab, which offers several bonding-curve shapes and token vesting. Our Solana launchpads category lists more. If you just need a token with no launchpad mechanics, Solana Compass runs a tool for minting an SPL token with metadata. Disclosure: that is our own product, and its fees go to our liquid staking token.
