Hey there, meme coin enthusiasts and blockchain buffs! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the latest trends in the crypto world, you might have noticed some exciting chatter about Dynamic Liquidity Market Maker (DLMM) and Dynamic Automated Market Maker (DAMM) systems. A recent tweet from meow (@weremeow) on June 30, 2025, has sparked some buzz, and we’re diving into it today to break it down for you. Let’s explore how these innovative tools are shaking up crypto launchpads and what it means for the future of meme tokens!

What’s the Hype About DLMM and DAMM?

The tweet from meow highlights how DLMM is being used in launchpads, calling it a “super awesome” and “incredibly powerful tool.” This comes in response to a thread from star.fun (@stardotfun), which explains how their bonding curve launches leverage Meteora’s DLMM. But what does that mean? Simply put, DLMM is a smart system that helps manage liquidity (the amount of tokens available to trade) in a more flexible way compared to traditional methods.

Most launchpads today rely on something called Dynamic Bonding Curves (DBC) because it’s straightforward. However, meow suggests there’s huge potential in using DLMM and DAMM too. These systems allow for real-time adjustments to liquidity, making token launches smoother and more efficient. Think of it like upgrading from a basic bike to a high-tech electric scooter—same destination, but way more control!

How DLMM Works in Launchpads

According to the star.fun thread, DLMM powers their token sales by turning them into live, on-chain markets that anyone on the Solana blockchain can jump into. Here’s the cool part: it uses a bonding curve—a graph where the token price increases as more people buy. Early buyers get a better deal, while later ones pay more, which helps protect the community from price manipulators (aka “snipers”).

The process is pretty slick:

  • Teams only need their own tokens to start the sale—no extra capital required.
  • They can set a fundraising goal and tweak the curve’s steepness to control price growth.
  • Once the goal is hit, 12.5% of the raised funds seeds a permanent liquidity pool, while the rest goes to the team.

This setup creates a natural market where prices adjust with every trade, and sellers can exit easily too. It’s all automated, thanks to Meteora’s tech, which meow praises as a game-changer.

Why DAMM Matters Too

Meow also mentions DAMM (Dynamic Automated Market Maker), which works alongside DLMM. While DLMM handles the launch phase, DAMM steps in to maintain liquidity after the sale. Together, they create a seamless journey from token launch to long-term trading. This duo could be a big deal for meme token projects, where liquidity is often a challenge after the initial hype fades.

The Potential for Meme Tokens

So, why should meme token fans care? Well, many meme coins struggle with sustainable growth because of poor liquidity management. By using DLMM and DAMM, projects can attract genuine community members early on and build lasting markets. Meow even offered to create an overview of three liquidity systems (DBC, DLMM, and DAMM) if there’s interest—signs point to a growing curiosity in the crypto space!

Some folks in the thread, like Pgmq, raised concerns about past rug pulls (scams where teams abandon projects), but that’s a reminder to always do your research. The tech itself is promising, and with the right teams, it could elevate meme tokens to new heights.

What’s Next?

Meow’s enthusiasm is infectious, and the response from the community—ranging from calls for more info to cat-themed memes—shows people are excited. If you’re a blockchain practitioner or just love meme coins, keep an eye on how DLMM and DAMM evolve. They could be the key to more successful launches in 2025 and beyond.
