Charted Docs Open the app

Every song is a market.

Charted is a music launchpad on Solana. Upload a track and it launches as a token. Stream what you like, trade what you believe in, and earn as your music climbs the charts — literally.

Solana Meteora Phantom & Solflare Self-custody

Streaming platforms pay artists fractions of a cent and give listeners nothing. Charted flips that: every track is a live market from the second it's uploaded. Artists earn trading fees on their own songs. Early listeners who back a track before it blows up own a piece of the upside.

How it works

  1. An artist uploads a track The song, artwork, and metadata are stored, and a token for the track is created on Solana in the same moment — 1,000,000,000 supply, all of it starting on a bonding curve. No presale, no team allocation.
  2. The curve makes the market A bonding curve is an automated market maker with a fixed price formula: every buy moves the price up along the curve, every sell moves it down. There is always a price, always liquidity, from the very first trade.
  3. The song climbs the chart As people buy, the curve collects SOL and the market cap grows. Anyone can stream the track for free the whole time — listening is never paywalled.
  4. Graduation When the curve raises its SOL target, the token graduates: the collected SOL and remaining supply move into a Meteora pool as permanent liquidity, and the token trades on the open market from then on.

Getting started

1. Get a wallet

Charted is self-custodial — you connect with your own wallet. We support Phantom and Solflare, on desktop and mobile.

2. Get SOL

Solana uses SOL for gas and trading. Buy SOL on any exchange and withdraw to your wallet, or swap into it on-chain. Transactions cost fractions of a cent.

3. Connect and go

Hit Enter Charted, connect your wallet, and you're in. A profile is created automatically from your address — no email, no password.

Launch a track

From Launch a track in the app: add your audio file and artwork, give the token a name and ticker, write a one-liner, pick a preset, and launch. One wallet signature creates the token and its market.

Optional — seed your launch

You can buy the first tokens of your own launch in the same transaction as creating it. A small initial buy helps protect your market from snipers getting the absolute floor price before anyone else. This is optional, and it is not bundling — it's one transparent buy from the creator wallet, visible on-chain.

There is no charge to launch beyond gas. Your song streams free for everyone from the moment it's live.

Presets

A preset sets your market's ambition: how much SOL the curve raises before graduation, and what share of trading fees you earn as the creator.

PresetSOL to graduateCreator vestingBest for
Ping80 SOLNone — fully liquidQuick launches, testing the waters
Trend200 SOL24h cliff, ~1 week linearThe standard launch
Viral500 SOL24h cliff, ~4 weeks linearBig swings, established audiences

Creator tokens on Trend and Viral vest after graduation rather than unlocking at once — a longer climb, but a signal to buyers that you are not dumping. Higher targets mean a longer climb — and a bigger open-market debut when you get there.

Creator earnings

On every launch, 15% of all trading fees on your song go to you — buys and sells, the whole time it's on the curve. Fees accrue on-chain and you claim them any time from your Portfolio. No minimums, no lockups, no middleman.

The more your track trades, the more you earn — whether the price is going up or down. Volume is the artist's friend.

Trading on the curve

Every token page has a live chart and a buy/sell panel. Trades execute directly against the bonding curve contract from your wallet — Charted never holds your funds and can't touch your tokens.

  • Buys send SOL to the curve and receive tokens at the current curve price.
  • Sells return tokens to the curve and receive SOL back — a single transaction, no approvals.
  • Quotes are exact — what the panel shows is what the contract computes, with a 2% slippage guard so a moving market can't fill you worse than expected.

Fees

After graduation, trading happens in the Meteora pool under its standard pool fees.

Graduation

When a curve hits its SOL target, the token graduates automatically on the buy that crosses the line:

  • The raised SOL (minus the graduation fee) and the remaining token supply are deposited into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.
  • That liquidity position is permanently locked — it can never be pulled. No rug, by construction.
  • The curve closes; all further trading happens on the open market, reachable from Jupiter, Meteora, and any Solana DEX aggregator.

Graduated tokens keep their page on Charted — chart, streaming, and stats — with trading routed to Meteora.

Solana

Charted runs on Solana — fast, cheap, and home to the deepest memecoin liquidity and the most active trading culture in crypto. Transactions confirm in under a second and cost fractions of a cent, which is what makes a song market tradeable at any size.

Under the hood

Bonding curves run on Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve, an audited, battle-tested protocol — Charted doesn't ask you to trust bespoke contracts with your funds. Graduated tokens land in Meteora DAMM v2 pools and route through Jupiter like any other Solana token. Explorer: solscan.io.

Charted is an independent project built on public, permissionless infrastructure — not affiliated with or endorsed by Solana or Meteora.

Security

  • Audited protocol, not bespoke code. Curves and pools are Meteora's — an established Solana protocol securing significant value — rather than custom contracts written for this app. Your funds never touch code we wrote.
  • Fixed supply, no minting. Every token is a standard SPL token with its full supply committed to the curve at launch. Mint authority is revoked; nobody can print more.
  • No custody. You sign every transaction in your own wallet. Charted's backend prepares transactions and stores music and market data — it can never move your funds or your tokens.
  • Open verification. Every launch, trade, and graduation is a public Solana transaction. Any token page's mint address can be checked on solscan.io.

Nothing here is financial advice. Song tokens are volatile, speculative assets — most go down as well as up. Never trade more than you can afford to lose.

FAQ

Do I need to buy anything to listen?

No. Streaming is free for everyone, always. Trading is optional.

What does it cost to launch a song?

Nothing but gas — typically under a cent on Solana. The optional initial buy is up to you.

Can the artist rug the token?

The classic rug — pulling liquidity — isn't possible: curve liquidity lives in the contract, and graduation liquidity is permanently locked. An artist can sell tokens they own like anyone else, and those trades are public on-chain.

Why did my transaction fail?

On Solana the usual causes are slippage (the price moved past your tolerance while the transaction landed) or network congestion. Nothing is charged when a transaction fails beyond a fraction of a cent in fees — just try again.

What happens to my song if the token never graduates?

Nothing bad — the market simply keeps running on the curve, and your track keeps streaming. Graduation is a milestone, not a deadline.

Who owns the rights to the music?

You do. Uploading to Charted doesn't transfer your rights — you're launching a market attached to your track, not selling the track itself. Only upload music you own or have the rights to.

Is Charted affiliated with Solana or Meteora?

No. Charted is an independent project that builds on Solana and Meteora — public, permissionless infrastructure.
