Orca has its own launchpad called Wavebreak, and these two are the leading tokens within it

Some people claim that the rise of launchpads saved the once-chaotic memecoin market, but the reality is quite different. The emergence of launchpads has actually lowered the peak prices of memecoins. While this is partly due to liquidity being diluted by the ease of token creation, the most crucial factor is that launchpads actively encourage it.
You can see why by looking at their revenue model. Launchpads typically earn a 1 percent trading fee on the bonding curve, but once a token bonds and moves to the AMM, that fee drops to just 0.05 percent. Because launchpads generate their highest profits on the bonding curve, they dislike trading volume concentrating on just one or two tokens. To maximize profits, they push for the issuance of as many tokens as possible, driving heavy trading volume within the bonding curve. They want traders to chase a new, shiny narrative every single day, some of which are artificially manufactured by the launchpads themselves, like the currently trendy AI influencer and agent meta.
In conclusion, because the very existence of launchpads discourages liquidity from concentrating on a handful of tokens, token price peaks are inevitably capped. The only exceptions are when there is fierce competition between launchpads or a strong marketing necessity. In those cases, launchpads are willing to take losses and sharply pump their tokens to annihilate rival platforms. That is when liquidity is at its peak and the market becomes a true window of opportunity. However, once the competition ends and a single launchpad returns to a monopoly, token peaks plummet once again. This is the beginning and end of how launchpads operate.
From this perspective, the only way for normies to turn a profit is to enter the market strictly during competitive phases. That is when liquidity is most abundant. Once things revert to a monopolistic state, the launchpads' operational model, which encourages rotational trading, severely limits token price peaks and dramatically increases the likelihood of taking losses.

Which has more demand: creator fee tokens or dividend tokens?
The correct answer is that it doesn't matter. The key factor isn't the fee structure, it is the platform's choice. Even for a token launched within the same launchpad and endorsed by the original creator, if the platform chooses not to back it, that token will lose out in competition against other PvP tokens.
Typically, this dynamic arises during platform competition or out of platform necessity. In the past, platforms showed respect for the original creator's endorsement as a form of narrative, but the situation has changed. Now, if it serves app engagement or marketing strategies to boost call-out multipliers, platforms begin to completely ignore anything outside their direct control. Perhaps this is simply proof that launchpad competition has intensified.

Ah, how fleeting life is. If they press the button leading to ruin, at the age of 80 they will end up rotting in prison with a sentence of over ten years. They will spend the rest of their lonely days in prison until they die. In an instant's decision, all the wealth and honor they have accumulated will become fleeting.

It is amusing how someone thinks they are at the pinnacle of power, when in reality they are nothing more than someone else's puppet. The reason shadow forces love figures with plenty of weaknesses is presumably because they are so easy to manipulate. Just by watching whose interests they serve, it isn't difficult to guess who is pulling the strings behind the scenes.
