Tired of getting vamped?
Why trade one coin when you can trade the entire meta?
Trade a single token backed by up to 6 different coins.

Yes, I know the website isn’t perfect but the website was never the main focus.
The protocol is.
The site is really just a proof of concept I built to show that the system works end to end. Most of my time and effort went into building the actual protocol, because that’s the part that matters long term.
The protocol itself is live, functional, and built to scale. The goal now is simply to make enough noise and get enough attention around BASKET that major trading terminals, launch platforms and deployers like J7 see the demand and integrate it independently.
Once that happens, the whole experience becomes much smoother. People won’t need to use my website at all they’ll be able to trade and deploy BASKET markets directly through the platforms they already use, with the protocol running underneath.
That’s why I’m not overly worried about the current website. It’s a proof of concept, not the end product.
The hard part was building a protocol that actually works and can support real usage. That part is done. Now it’s about getting it in front of enough people that the rest of the ecosystem has a reason to plug into it.
Incase anyone missed it:
BASKET is built to be transparent and verifiable from end to end.
We use @privy_io for non-custodial wallet infrastructure, the same provider used by https://t.co/Mv6br5Yru9. BASKET never has access to your private keys and cannot move funds from your wallet.
Every Basket is created through the public BASKET protocol. The Basket token and its backing BasketReserve are created on-chain, with the reserve locked and its rules enforced by the protocol. Neither BASKET nor the creator can simply access or withdraw the assets held inside it.
You don’t have to take our word for it. The protocol, IDL, SDK, integration documentation, and public code are available for anyone to inspect and verify.

Non-custodial wallets. Public protocol. Locked reserves. Fully verifiable.
@BasketLaunch youll have to keep explaining it to people like they are 4 years old, thats the average brain age in this space. be patient. i read through the repo. well done, can tell a lot of effort has been put in.
Guys if you are wondering why things look different on chain please read this. Also the protocol and all code is fully verifiable on chain and in the links i provided in my previous post!
A note from the dev:
Hey!
I’m the solo dev behind BASKET, a new Solana launchpad where a token launches paired against a basket of existing coins instead of just SOL.
BASKET is not built on Pump or LaunchLab. I had to build a completely separate custom protocol because they only support a single quote mint, and the whole point of BASKET needed more than that.
That decision made the product possible.
It also made everything harder.
Because BASKET is its own protocol, the big trading terminals don’t display it right now.
I’ve spent a stupid amount of nights trying to fix that.
Messaging people. Chasing introductions. Explaining the protocol over and over. Getting into private groups with senior devs, even a CEO.
I pushed it as far as I possibly could.
In the end I was told integration requires a fairly large upfront fee upwards of six figures.
I don’t blame them for that. Engineering takes time and integrations cost money.
But the reality is simple:
I’m one guy.
I built this myself.
I funded it myself.
And right now I just can’t afford that fee.
For a while I kept thinking I had to solve every last problem before releasing anything.
Perfect terminal support.
Perfect wallet support.
Perfect launch.
But at some point you have to stop hiding the thing you spent so long building just because the circumstances aren’t perfect.
So I’m releasing BASKET anyway.
None of this is how I imagined launching.
But BASKET works.
The protocol is real.
And after all the late nights, failed attempts, debugging, rewrites and moments where I genuinely wondered whether I was wasting my time, I don’t want it sitting on my computer waiting for permission to exist.
I built something I believe should exist.
So I’m putting it out there.
Maybe it goes nowhere.
Maybe a few people use it.
Maybe somehow it finds its own path.
Either way, I’m not done building it and will continue to work on it! 🧺
Thanks for reading!

Non-custodial wallets. Public protocol. Locked reserves. Fully verifiable.
And creators aren’t just anonymous deployers.
On BASKET, they become curators.
Build a profile. Launch Baskets. Prove your taste.
Curators are ranked by the performance and trading activity their Baskets generate.
If you consistently find the metas people want to trade, everyone can see it.
We’re also changing how creator rewards work.
Normally a creator has to choose between:
keeping their rewards
or
giving them back to traders through cashback.
On BASKET, that doesn’t have to be all or nothing.
Every creator gets a slider.
Want to keep:
100% creator / 0% cashback?
Go ahead.
Want:
50% creator / 50% cashback?
Done.
Pick any split from 0–100% when you launch.
There’s a second layer:
If the coins inside the Basket rise, the value of the BasketReserve rises too.
So a Basket has two potential drivers:
1. Demand for the Basket itself
2. Performance of the coins backing it
If the entire meta starts running, the Basket benefits.
If one constituent struggles while another takes off, their movements can partially offset each other.
Instead of betting everything on one runner, you’re trading the meta.
The coins aren’t just displayed on a page.
Every asset backing the Basket is actually acquired and stored inside an immutable, locked BasketReserve.
As people buy the Basket, the reserve grows.
The underlying assets are what back the market.
Choose the coins in your Basket and set the weight of each one.
For example:
$BigThree
33.34% Popcat
33.33% Bonk
33.33% WIF
Instead of betting on which dog coin wins, $BigThree gives you exposure to the whole meta in one trade.
