Altitude
How Altitude works

Any starting cap. The real money right beside it.

Altitude creates one Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve per coin. The creator picks the market cap the curve starts at, anywhere from $1,000 to $1,000,000,000, and the market cap it graduates at, at least 2x the start. Every coin is listed with the SOL actually deposited into its curve, and the feed ranks coins by that number only.

This build runs on a local copy of Solana that executes the Meteora program copied from mainnet at slot 457,502,600. Your wallet signs every transaction. No real money moves, and mainnet launches are not open yet.

1. Set the altitude

Drag the altimeter to a starting market cap, then pick how far the coin has to climb before it graduates: 2x, 5x, 10x, 25x or 100x. Add a name and a ticker, choose your share of trading fees and decide whether the anti-sniper fee is on.

2. The curve is built

Both caps are converted to SOL at the current SOL price and passed to buildCurveWithMarketCap. One transaction creates a new config account, the mint and the pool. Measured cost: 0.0195 SOL, paid by the creator.

3. Buyers trade on the curve

The first token sells at the starting cap ÷ 1,000,000,000. Price rises as SOL enters the curve and falls as it leaves. At an $8,000 start, 1 SOL buys about 1.07% of supply before fees and price impact.

4. The coin graduates

When the SOL in the curve reaches the graduation threshold, the pool migrates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool with a 1% fee. Its liquidity is locked permanently, half for the creator and half for Altitude.

Market cap and real money

Market cap is the current price × 1,000,000,000 tokens. At launch it equals the starting cap exactly, even though nobody has deposited anything yet. A $1B start is a setting, not a valuation anyone paid for.

Real money is the SOL held in the curve's reserve, shown in USD. It only grows when someone buys. A coin started at $1B with a single 0.5 SOL buy shows $43 of real money, and its tile states that the cap is 23,490,723x the real money in it.

Top coins and the live stream sort by real money. Market cap never decides a ranking.

The bonding curve

The raise is the SOL a curve has to collect between its start and its graduation. It scales with the caps you choose: at 10x, a curve collects about 2.4x its starting cap before it graduates. It works out to start cap × m ÷ (√m + 1), where m is the graduation multiple; the program returns exactly these numbers. SOL is priced live.

Trading fees

Every trade on the curve pays a fee in SOL. The base fee is 1%. In fast markets a dynamic fee is added on top, based on recent price swings. Meteora's protocol keeps 20% of the fee. The remaining 80% is split between the creator and Altitude by the share the creator chose at launch, from 0% to 100%.

With a 50% creator share, a 1 SOL buy outside the anti-sniper window pays 0.01 SOL: 0.002 SOL to Meteora, 0.004 SOL to the creator and 0.004 SOL to Altitude.

Anti-sniper

With the anti-sniper on, the fee starts at 50% the moment the pool opens and falls exponentially in 60 steps to 1% after 120 seconds. Bots that buy in the first block pay half their SOL in fees; buyers who wait two minutes pay 1%.

The fee applies to sells as well, so flipping in the first two minutes costs both ways. Measured on the test chain: a 1 SOL buy at second 0 put 0.50 SOL into the curve. The same buy after five minutes put 0.99 SOL in.

The creator's own first buy is the exception. It goes through in the launch transaction itself at the 1% fee, so creators are not punished by their own anti-sniper.

Graduation and liquidity

Every curve must raise at least 10 SOL before it graduates. From that size, Meteora's own migration keeper moves the pool on mainnet automatically, so no coin gets stuck at 100%. Graduation happens on the trade that pushes the curve's SOL past the threshold. The SOL and the remaining tokens move into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool with a fixed 1% fee. Liquidity is split 50% creator, 50% Altitude, and both halves are permanently locked. Neither side can withdraw it; both can claim the trading fees it earns.

Launch parameters

Every coin gets the same rules except the four settings the creator chooses.

Status and limits

Altitude runs end to end. Your own wallet signs every launch, buy, sell and fee claim; the server only builds transactions and never holds funds. What is live today and what is not:

  • Working: wallet connection (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack), launches with image and first buy, buying, selling, creator fee claims, the real-money feed.
  • Tested on a local copy of Solana that runs the Meteora program copied from mainnet. Test SOL only.
  • Not yet on mainnet. The first mainnet launch happens only after a final review.
  • Coins graduate to Meteora DAMM v2 automatically. Trading after graduation happens on Jupiter and other aggregators.
