# Raydium Launchpad

<mark style="color:yellow;">Raydium Launchpad</mark> is a bonding curve-based token launch platform that lets anyone launch or buy tokens on Solana. When the target raise is hit, funds are <mark style="color:yellow;">migrated</mark> to a Raydium AMM pool (or cp swap)  and trading continues there.

Going through our <mark style="color:yellow;">getting started</mark> section will help you understand few basics first.

TLDR:  In order to start querying protocols, follow these steps:

* Get an [<mark style="color:red;">API key</mark>](https://shyft.to/get-api-key) if you don't have one.
* Head to any GraphQL client of your choice, for example [<mark style="color:red;">Hasura</mark>](https://cloud.hasura.io/public/graphiql)<mark style="color:red;">.</mark>
* Enter the GraphQL endpoint for your preferred network
  * Mainnet: <mark style="color:yellow;"><https://programs.shyft.to/v0/graphql/?api\\_key={api-key}\\&network=mainnet-beta></mark>
  * Devnet: <mark style="color:yellow;"><https://programs.shyft.to/v0/graphql/?api\\_key={api-key}\\&network=devnet></mark>
* Start filtering, sorting and querying data.

The schema names for pump.fun AMM are the following

* raydium\_launchpad\_PoolState
* raydium\_launchpad\_GlobalConfig
* raydium\_launchpad\_PlatformConfig

out of which raydium\_launchpad\_PoolState is the one that we are most interested in.
