Launchpad rankings and reports

How launchpads are ranked, what a launchpad report shows, and how launchpad tokens are flagged.

Larpsium is not affiliated with any launchpad. A rank is a count of what traded, not an endorsement.

Launchpads, ranked lists every Elysium launchpad Larpsium can tell apart, over the last 24 hours or the last hour. Rank by volume, market cap, liquidity, trades, launches, or the share of launches that reached 10 holders. Each launchpad has its own report at /launchpads/<name>.

Launchpad reports and token reports

They are different pages. A launchpad report reads the launchpad's pools: its volume, market cap, liquidity, trades, launches, most traded coins, newest launches, and the contracts it publishes. A token report (/r/…) reads one coin's story and holders from the chain. A launchpad's own token has both: its token report says it is a launchpad token and links to the launchpad report, and the launchpad report shows the token with a link to its token report.

Where the figures come from

ELYXA's public terminal feed of Elysium pools, read every 30 minutes: the most-traded pools until they trade under 0.01 HYPE a day, the newest pools back past 24 hours, and the 500 deepest pools. The figures are ELYXA's statements, not Larpsium's own chain reads. The HYPE price in US dollars comes from Hyperliquid.

Which launchpad a pool belongs to

ELYXA's own label for the pool when it names a launchpad. Otherwise, a hook or pool factory the launchpad publishes on its own site or config: this is how Ascend, Volta, PerpMe, Eleos, Ronspad, Obol's newer pads and BOXA's Uniswap launcher are counted. A coin belongs to the launchpad of its earliest pool. Pools on shared venues with neither label nor published contract are counted as unattributed and not ranked.

What each figure means

  • Volume and trades: summed over every pool of the launchpad's coins, in the window.
  • Market cap and liquidity: now, summed over coins whose deepest pool is quoted in HYPE, holds at least 1 HYPE, and whose coin has at least 10 holders. This leaves out empty test coins and impossible figures.
  • Launches: coins whose first pool opened in the window; 10+ holders is the share of them that have 10 or more holders now.
  • Quote and bridged assets (KNTQ, kHYPE, USDC, wrapped stocks, WHYPE) are left out: they trade in launchpad pools but were not launched there.

Launchpad tokens

A coin is flagged Launchpad token only when the launchpad's own site or config names its contract (ELYXA, Eleos, Obol, Ronspad, Volta), or, for BOXA and Kleos, when its launch record does. Each launchpad report says which. Many coins reuse launchpad names, so a name alone is never enough. Launchpad tokens are tracked on their launchpad's row whatever their volume, and Larpsium re-tests each one about once a day so its token report stays current. The flag appears on the coin board, on the token report, and in the bot's answer.

Ascend

Ascend's launchpad contract is the hook of every pool it launches, and its own contract registry names it, so its pools are counted by that hook. ELYXA's feed lists only its HYPE pools, so its KNTQ and USDC pools are not in its volume, trades or launches. Those coins still get token reports: their prices and the creators' verified words, links and artwork come from Ascend's own public reads, labelled as its listing.

Not ranked yet

ElysPad (UniPad) and Hesperia launch coins but publish no contracts Larpsium can match, and ALT L2 is in development. They are listed with their status.

Data

GET /api/launchpads returns the latest rankings as JSON: per launchpad, the 1-hour and 24-hour windows, market cap, liquidity, its token, its most traded and newest coins, and the coverage of the last read.
