What Is a Hyped Launch on Comet?
A Hyped Launch is a feature available to creators launching tokens on Snek.fun. It allows them to enable progressive buy limits in the first few minutes after a token goes live. These buy limits are designed to promote fairer token distribution and prevent large early purchases from dominating the market.
Since Comet integrates directly with Snek.fun, any Hyped Launch rules enabled on Snek.fun apply automatically when trading on Comet.
You can find Snek.fun token launches directly within Comet by viewing the New Token Feed, which shows the most recently launched tokens.
How Do Hyped Launch Buy Limits Work?
When a Hyped Launch is enabled, purchases are restricted using a progressive buy scale that gradually increases over the first 9 minutes:
First 3 minutes → Max buy: 25 ADA
Next 3 minutes → Max buy: 50 ADA
Next 3 minutes → Max buy: 100 ADA
After 9 minutes → No buy limit
These limits apply to all platforms, including Comet, and are automatically enforced.
Where Can You See the Buy Limit on Comet?
If you're attempting to buy a token with an active Hyped Launch, Comet will display the current buy limit in the buy window.
For example: 📢 “Hyped Launch Active: Max Buy 25 ADA”
This message updates as time progresses, so you always know your current limit.
Once the 9-minute window has passed, buy limits are removed, and you can purchase as much as you like.
FAQ: Common Questions About Hyped Launches on Comet
Why can’t I buy more than 25 ADA of a new token?
If the token is part of a Hyped Launch, a progressive buy limit is in place for the first 9 minutes after launch. Limits increase over time before being fully removed.
Who decides if a token has a Hyped Launch?
The creator of the token chooses to enable a Hyped Launch when setting up their Snek.fun launch. It is not automatically applied to all tokens—only those where the creator has opted in.
Can I bypass Hyped Launch buy limits?
No. The buy limits are enforced by Snek.fun and apply to all platforms, including Comet. There is no way to bypass them.
Does a Hyped Launch affect token price?
A Hyped Launch does not control token price directly. However, by slowing down large buys, it can help prevent early price manipulation.
How can I verify if a token is legitimate before buying?
A token that is verified on DexHunter is generally more reputable. However, verification can take time after a token is launched. Always DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before purchasing.
