Every trade on Liport runs on Solana. The frontend quotes and submits. Your wallet signs. The program executes. Liport never holds your funds.
Buying
- On a token page, set the widget to Buy.
- Enter an amount in SOL, or switch the input to the token side.
- Check the quote: expected receive, slippage, fees.
- Hit Swap and approve in your wallet.
- The trade lands in a couple of seconds and shows up in the live trades table.
Selling
- Toggle to Sell.
- Enter an amount in the token.
- Check the SOL you will receive after fees.
- Sign and submit.
Slippage and minimum receive
Every trade carries a minimum receive baked into the transaction. If the on-chain state has moved enough that you would receive less, the program reverts the trade. You pay gas but you do not overpay on the swap.
You can change slippage tolerance from the slippage modal. Higher slippage means fewer reverts but a worse worst-case fill.
Routing: curve vs CPMM
The widget picks the route automatically:
- On curve. The trade hits Raydium’s LaunchLab bonding curve program, configured under Liport’s platform ID.
- Graduated. The trade hits the Raydium CPMM pool.
You do not need to think about which one. The active route shows up in the fee breakdown.
Fees on every trade
Before you sign, the widget breaks down:
- Network gas. Paid to Solana validators.
- Curve fee (pre-graduation) or CPMM swap fee (post-graduation).
- Creator share. The slice that goes to the token’s creator.
Failed trades
Common reasons a trade fails:
- Slippage tolerance was hit (someone else traded in the same block).
- Not enough SOL for gas plus the trade.
- The token is mid-graduation and trading is briefly paused.
- Network congestion dropped the transaction.
For graduation pauses, wait a few seconds and retry.
Risk
Liport is a non-custodial, self-serve launchpad. Many tokens launched here will lose value, some very quickly. Do your own research. See Risk Disclosure.
