Ten short chapters on how a Solana coin is born, how its price moves and what to look at before you put money in. Most of them have something to play with. The playable parts are practice; the facts they describe are the ones Nexpad reads live.
At a glance
everything on one page
A coin starts as a draft and ends as a pool. In between it lives on a bonding curve, where the price is set by a formula instead of an order book.
Every stage leaves public traces. The mint account says who can create or freeze tokens, the curve account says how much has sold, and the largest token accounts say who holds what.
Nexpad reads those traces for you. It does not launch, trade or hold anything. It shows what is already there, in plain words.
A coin's life
six stages, draft to check
Stage 1 / 6
The draft
The creator writes the name, symbol, image and story. Nothing exists on chain yet; the draft is only text in a browser, and Nexpad's checklist points out what is missing.

Getting ready
done once
Pick a Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare or Backpack and set it up. Write the recovery phrase on paper and never type it into a website.
Add a little SOL. Network costs on Solana are tiny, so hold what you mean to spend and a small margin for fees.
Connecting a wallet on Nexpad is optional. It only shows your SOL balance; the site never asks you to sign anything.
Draft a launch
free, stays in your browser
Open Launch Studio. Fill in a name, a short symbol, an image, a few honest lines and the links people will use to find you. The checklist tells you what is missing. When it is clear, open pump.fun's create page and paste each field. The coin is created there by your wallet, with pump.fun's standard terms: one billion tokens, six decimals, no mint authority after creation.
A launch cannot be edited afterwards. Typos in the name or symbol stay forever, so read the hand-off list twice.
The curve
move the sliders
A bonding curve holds the coin's sellable tokens and a pool of SOL. Every buy adds SOL and removes tokens, which raises the price for the next buyer. Every sell does the opposite. Early buys therefore move the price far more than late ones, and a single large buy can jump a young coin a long way.

Price moves

Fees and other traders are left out. A curve fills completely at about 85 SOL in this model.
Who holds power over a token
four switches to read
Mint authority. If set, that address can create new tokens whenever it likes, which waters down everyone else. pump.fun coins drop it at creation.
Freeze authority. If set, that address can lock any holder's balance so it cannot be sent or sold.
Metadata update authority. If set, the name, symbol and image can be rewritten later, which makes impersonation easy.
Token-2022 extensions. Newer tokens can carry transfer fees, transfer hooks, permanent delegates or a pause switch. Some are harmless; some let one address take tokens back. The checker names each one.
Holders
how concentrated is too concentrated
The chain will tell anyone which token accounts are largest. What it does not say is whether an account belongs to a person or to a program. Nexpad looks up the owner of each large account and labels curves and pools separately, so the share held by the ten largest wallets reflects people, not plumbing.

Sold out
when the curve completes
When the 793.1 million sellable tokens are gone, the curve is marked complete. The SOL it collected and the 206.9 million tokens held back move into a trading pool, and the coin trades there from then on. Its planet moves inside the ring. A completed curve says nothing about what happens next: price can fall as easily as it rose.
What to read before buying
four signals
Permissions. Mint and freeze authority revoked, metadata locked, no extension that lets someone take or freeze tokens.
Spread. How much the ten largest wallets hold once curves and pools are set aside, and whether one wallet holds a big slice.
Creator. Whether the creating wallet still sits among the largest holders, and how much it bought at the start.
Depth. How far the curve has sold, or how much liquidity the pool has. Thin pools turn small sells into big drops.

Questions
asked most often
What is Nexpad?
Nexpad is a launch transparency desk for Solana tokens. It shows new launches live, reads any token's permissions and holder spread from the chain, and helps creators draft a launch they can later hand to pump.fun.
How does Nexpad work?
The site reads public data only: Solana accounts over RPC, pump.fun's public coin feed and a public pair index for prices. It runs no program of its own, cannot reach your keys or money and never sends a transaction for you.
How do I buy $NEXPAD?
Once the contract address is published on the token page, open the pump.fun link there with a funded Solana wallet. Compare the address character by character before you sign. Until then there is no official $NEXPAD.
Which network is Nexpad on?
Solana mainnet. $NEXPAD is a Solana token and every check on the site reads Solana.
What are the risks of using Nexpad?
The site only reads data and has no on-chain program, so it never touches your funds. Its reading code can still contain mistakes and public sources can be wrong or late, so treat every result as one input, not a verdict. The finding rules are listed in the docs.
Does a clean check mean a token is safe?
No. The check shows what the token's settings allow and how its supply is spread right now. It cannot see who is behind a coin, what they will do or where the price will go.
Why are some holders labelled curve or pool?
A large share often sits in a pump.fun curve or a trading pool rather than with a person. The checker looks up which program owns each large account and keeps those out of the wallet concentration numbers.
Is my draft or my image uploaded?
No. The Launch Studio draft is saved in your own browser and the image is only previewed locally. You upload the image yourself on pump.fun when you create the coin.
What will $NEXPAD be used for?
Possible uses such as lower fees, deeper analytics or holder votes are plans. None of them is live, and holding the token today gives no discount, reward or vote.
