How to create a memecoin on Monad with nad.fun

nad.fun is the memecoin launchpad on Monad. You connect a Monad wallet, supply a name, ticker and image, and the contract opens a bonding curve; the token graduates to a DEX once roughly 225,000 MON has been collected and about 80% of supply is sold. Its creation fee and trading fee percentage are not published in any documentation we could reach — verify both in the interface before you commit.

What nad.fun actually is

The mechanism is a standard bonding curve. A fixed supply is minted at creation and priced along a curve held by the contract: buys push the price up, sells push it down, and there is no order book or counterparty other than the curve. Nobody has to seed a liquidity pool, which is the whole appeal — the venue supplies the market-making and you supply the idea.

Two parameters define the graduation event, and both are stated in nad.fun's own documentation: the curve completes when approximately 225,000 MON has been collected and roughly 80% of supply has been sold. At that point the token migrates to a decentralised exchange and the curve stops being the venue.

nad.fun also lets creators route portions of trading fees to supported vaults rather than taking them all directly — an unusual design that matters if you intend the token to fund something rather than to pay you. If bonding curves are new to you, what a bonding curve is and how launchpad pricing works is the prerequisite for the rest of this page, and what graduation means on a launchpad covers what changes at migration and what does not.

The numbers nobody publishes — read this before you spend anything

This is the part where other guides invent figures. We are not going to.

As of 31 August 2026, three things you would reasonably expect to know before launching are not stated in any nad.fun documentation we could reach:

• The creation fee. Not published. Comparable venues sit anywhere from zero (pump.fun charges 0 SOL to create; Pools.trade charges no launch fee) to about 0.005 BNB on Four.meme, so the plausible range is wide and guessing for you would be worse than useless.
• The trading fee percentage taken on curve trades. Not published. The market clusters around 1% — Four.meme and Pons both charge 1%, pump.fun charges 1.25% total — but nad.fun's number is not confirmed anywhere we could verify.
• The migration DEX target. Not published. You do not currently know from documentation which venue your token ends up trading on after graduation, and that determines its post-graduation liquidity depth, its fee tier and which aggregators route to it.

The correct response is not to look for a blog post that states them confidently — several do, and none of them cite a source. The correct response is to open the create flow with a funded wallet, read the fee the interface quotes you at the confirmation step, and read the transaction in your wallet before signing. Everything the contract is going to charge you is visible in that transaction. If the interface does not show you a fee before you sign, that is itself information.

Creating a token on nad.fun, step by step

1. Fund a wallet with MON. Monad is EVM-compatible, so MetaMask or Rabby with the network added manually will work. You need MON for gas on every transaction and for whatever creation fee the interface quotes.
2. Verify the domain. nad.fun's documentation lives at nad-fun.gitbook.io. Launchpad domain squatting is endemic across every chain; check the URL rather than clicking a link from a social post.
3. Open the create flow and supply name, ticker, image and socials. Fill in the socials. A contactable creator is the single cheapest credibility signal available, and buyers treat its absence as a verdict.
4. Read the fee quoted at confirmation. Do not proceed on an assumption. Compare it against what the transaction in your wallet actually says.
5. Decide on a first buy — and understand it is public. If you buy your own token at creation, that purchase and the wallet that made it are visible forever. Holder distribution is the first thing a competent buyer checks.
6. Sign and confirm. The token exists and the curve is open.
7. Decide about fee routing. nad.fun supports directing a share of trading fees to supported vaults. Decide this deliberately rather than accepting a default, because it is what determines who is actually paid by the trading your token generates.
8. Watch for graduation at ~225,000 MON collected and ~80% of supply sold, and check where the liquidity lands.

How much activity is actually on Monad

Very little that we can measure, and you should factor that in.

nad.fun has no DefiLlama protocol page as of 31 August 2026, which means there is no independent fee or volume series for it at all. A Dune dashboard exists, but a community dashboard is not the same as third-party protocol accounting. We could not verify a single volume or market-share figure for the venue, and the honest reading of that absence is that activity is small — not zero, but small enough that no aggregator has bothered to index it.

For context on where issuance actually went in 2026: memecoin launches consolidated onto Solana and Robinhood Chain, with BNB Chain a distant third and everything else rounding to noise. Monad is in "everything else". That does not make it a bad place to launch if your audience is already there — early ecosystems have less competition for attention and Monad's throughput is genuinely different from an L1 like Ethereum — but you are not launching into liquidity. Best chains for launching a memecoin works through that trade-off across every venue, and per-venue launch and volume data is in the Meme Central analytics hub.

What this guide does not tell you

It does not give you nad.fun's fees, because they are not published and we will not invent them. Everything above tells you how to find them yourself in about ninety seconds.

It does not tell you where your token goes after graduation. The migration target is undocumented, so you cannot plan your post-graduation liquidity strategy from documentation alone. Watch a token that has already graduated and see where it landed — that is currently more reliable than any written source.

It does not tell you whether launching on Monad is a good idea relative to launching elsewhere. Nothing in the data lets anyone answer that honestly, and the venue's low measurability cuts both ways: less competition, less liquidity, less third-party scrutiny of the venue's own contracts.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to launch a token on nad.fun?

Unknown from documentation. As of 31 August 2026 nad.fun does not publish a creation fee or a trading fee percentage in any reachable docs. You will see the actual charge quoted at the confirmation step in the interface and in the transaction your wallet asks you to sign. Read both before confirming.

What is the graduation threshold on nad.fun?

Approximately 225,000 MON collected and roughly 80% of supply sold. Both figures come from nad.fun's own documentation. Reaching the threshold triggers migration to a decentralised exchange; the specific DEX is not documented.

Do I need MON to create a token on Monad?

Yes. Monad's gas token is MON, so you need it for the deployment transaction and for every trade afterwards. Monad is EVM-compatible, so a standard EVM wallet with the network added manually will connect.

Is nad.fun the only launchpad on Monad?

It is the only one with documented mechanics and any visible traction as of 31 August 2026. Others may exist without third-party coverage. Given nad.fun itself has no DefiLlama presence, absence of coverage on Monad is weak evidence either way.

Can I lock liquidity on a nad.fun token?

Not on the bonding curve — the curve holds the funds and you never touch an LP position. After graduation, whether you can lock anything depends on where the liquidity lands and whether you control the LP tokens. Since the migration target is undocumented, confirm this before you plan around it.

If you want fixed supply and locked liquidity from block one

A bonding curve gives you an instant market and no control over supply, liquidity or where the token ends up trading. If you are building a project token rather than a churn token, MintPlus — from TrustSwap, which also builds Meme Central — deploys a fixed supply with liquidity locked through Team Finance at creation, on Ethereum, Robinhood Chain, Polygon, Base and BNB. Monad is not among them, and it gives you no curve and no launch-day audience, so if Monad specifically is where your community is, nad.fun is your venue and this is not.

Nothing here is financial, legal or tax advice. Memecoins are extremely high-risk: most lose most of their value, and the majority of tokens launched never reach a decentralised exchange at all. Never spend money you cannot afford to lose entirely. Meme Central does not recommend any specific token. Data described as Meme Central's own reflects tokens indexed by Meme Central and is not whole-market data.
