How Cast works
full details →Anyone can launch. If a creator ships something the community doesn't want around, any eligible holder can open a vote. It runs for one hour, every ballot is public, and if the ban passes, that creator's launching days on Cast are over.
What is Cast?
A Solana launchpad where anyone can launch and the community keeps things honest. If a creator launches something holders would rather not see again, they can vote to ban that creator from launching here. Existing coins keep trading; the creator just doesn't get another one.
Who can start a vote?
Anyone with a linked X account (at least 180 days old) and a wallet. Open the creator's coin or profile and press "Start a creator vote". Adding a reason and evidence is optional, and your handle is shown as the person who opened it.
How does voting work?
A vote stays open for one hour. It only counts if at least 50 people vote. If it counts, the creator is banned when 60% or more of the vote weight says ban. Every ballot is public, and there are no take-backs.
How is vote weight calculated?
Everyone starts at a weight of 1. People who have paid more trading fees on Cast in the last 90 days count for more, up to a maximum of 3. Weight can't be bought any other way.
What happens to coins from a banned creator?
They keep trading on their curve with a "From banned creator" label, so holders are never stuck. The creator still earns their fee on those coins. A ban stops future launches; it doesn't take anything away.
Can a banned creator appeal?
Yes, once. An appeal opens a new public vote with twice the usual quorum. If not enough people vote, the ban is lifted. If the appeal fails, the ban is permanent.
What are the fees?
Every trade on the curve pays 1.25%: 0.4% to the coin's creator, 0.6% to Cast and 0.25% to Meteora, whose bonding curve the coins run on. Creators claim their share any time, or spend it on a buyback & burn in one click.
What stops snipers?
Buys that land in the same block as the launch pay a 90% fee instead of the normal one. From the next block, under a second later, the normal fee applies. The creator's first buy, made in the launch transaction, pays the normal fee.
How can I check a creator's tokens are locked?
Check the Tokenomics panel on the coin. Creators can lock tokens in a Jupiter Lock escrow for 7 days to 4 years, as a time lock or vesting, and nobody can withdraw early or cancel it. Locked and burned supply is shown on every coin.
Will my coin show up on Axiom and GMGN?
Yes. Cast coins run on Meteora's bonding curve, which the big terminals already support, so they appear and trade there from the first block.
Can a banned creator just use a new wallet?
Nice try. Bans cover their X account, every wallet they ever linked, and new wallets funded by those wallets. Every launch needs Cast's approval on-chain, so a blocked wallet can't launch through the site or around it.
