Editorial policy

Sourcing

Claims about how a protocol behaves are written from public documentation and from what can be observed on a public explorer. Where a claim needs support, the source is linked and named in the sentence that makes the claim. We do not cite private conversations, anonymous screenshots or figures we cannot point at.

Platform-set values are treated as moving targets. Curve completion conditions, launchpad fees, migration destinations and interface behaviour are decisions the platform makes and revises. This site describes the mechanism and tells you to read the current figure on the platform rather than trusting a number frozen into an article.

How numbers are used

A number appears on this site only if it falls into one of three categories, and the category is made clear in the text.

PROTOCOL FACT

A property of the network or the token standard that does not vary with the market, such as SOL having nine decimal places or an address being base58.

ILLUSTRATIVE

Arithmetic worked in the open with figures we chose, introduced as an illustration, so you can substitute your own. It describes a method, not a market.

SOURCED

A figure published by a named public source, linked in place, with the reader told where to check whether it is still current.

Outcomes and predictions

The desk does not predict what a launch will do. It separates the part of a launch a team controls from the part nobody controls, and it says which is which on every relevant page. No page implies that following a procedure produces a result, and no tool described here is presented as a way of creating demand.

Third-party links

Two kinds of external link appear on this site. Reference links point at documentation, explorers and protocol sites that support a claim. Tooling links point at a commercial console operated by a third party, and every one of them is labelled as such in the panel or paragraph that contains it.

The desk does not operate that console, does not audit its output, does not verify its pricing or custody model, and does not receive anything from you using it. Where a page suggests questions to ask a provider, those questions are the ones we would ask, not an endorsement of any answer.

Ethics of the subject matter

This site covers automated market activity because it exists and teams are sold it. It is described accurately: it routes trades and produces recorded on-chain activity, and that record is not demand. Presenting manufactured activity as organic interest misleads buyers, and it is detectable by anyone reading the chain. The desk does not publish techniques for concealing it and will not treat concealment as an operational tip.

Corrections

1. Report. Send the page, the sentence and what you believe is wrong to the address on the contact page.
2. Check. The desk verifies against the primary source. If the source has changed rather than the claim being wrong, the page is updated and the mechanism described more carefully.
3. Fix. The page is corrected. Substantive corrections are noted in the text rather than made silently.
4. Date. The modification date on the page reflects the change. Publication dates are never moved backwards to make a page look newer or older than it is.

Independence

Launch Desk is not affiliated with Pump.fun or with any other launch platform, exchange or tool described on this site. That position is stated in full on the about page, and it is the reason platform names appear here without logos, endorsements or claims of access.

Scope

This is a publication about launch operations. It is not financial advice, not legal advice and not a recommendation to launch, buy or sell anything. Regulatory treatment of tokens varies by jurisdiction and is outside what this desk covers. If a decision has legal or tax consequences for you, the person to ask is a professional in your own jurisdiction.
