Read this first: MemeSwap’s $PLAYDEAD isn’t live yet. Any contract address before Fri 9:00 AM CT isn’t ours, and the only real one is posted by @memeswapdotfun. Nobody from MemeSwap will ever DM you a contract address, presale or whitelist.
Most meme coin launches are decided in the first few seconds. Bots and insiders buy the moment a token exists, the price jumps before regular traders can react, and the people who showed up on time end up buying from the people who got there first. $PLAYDEAD, the first public Aura Farm on the MemeSwap Launchpad, is set up differently. Here’s how the two rules at the center of it work: one price for everyone and a $500 cap per person.
When it happens
The Aura Farm for $PLAYDEAD runs for two minutes on Friday, October 23, 2026, from 9:00 to 9:02 AM CT (14:00 UTC), on Solana. Buying happens only in the MemeSwap iPhone app. Nobody can buy before 9:00: there’s no presale, no airdrop, no whitelist and no early access.
Rule 1: one price for everyone
During the two-minute window, everyone pays the same price, and that price is set when the window closes. It doesn’t matter whether your buy lands at 9:00:01 or 9:01:55. Being a few milliseconds faster than everyone else doesn’t get you a better price, which removes the main reason to run a sniper bot in the first place.
Rule 2: $500 per person, one cap per verified iPhone
Each person can put in up to $500 during the Aura Farm, and each verified iPhone gets one cap (MemeSwap uses Apple App Attest for this). Anything over the cap is never charged, and a buy that lands after 9:02 is refunded in full.
The cap matters because the classic way to dominate a launch is to split one big buy across dozens of wallets. Tying the cap to a verified phone instead of a wallet is built to make that much harder.
The creator plays by the same rules
$PLAYDEAD has no team tokens and no dev allocation. The creator joins in the same window, under the same $500 cap as everyone else.
What happens at 9:02
When the window closes, the price is set, tokens are delivered and live trading opens inside MemeSwap. Until Graduation, $PLAYDEAD can be traded only inside MemeSwap and transfers are locked, so any $PLAYDEAD pool you see anywhere else before then is fake.
Graduation happens once enough has been raised on the MemeSwap curve. At that point $PLAYDEAD moves to a public pool on Solana and can also be traded on Jupiter, Phantom and the Coinbase app. Graduation is a mechanic, not a promise, and it may not happen.
What these rules don’t do
One price and a cap are built to keep snipers out and give regular traders an equal shot at the opening. They don’t make a meme coin safe. Prices can move fast in either direction once trading opens, and a token can lose most or all of its value. MemeSwap’s goal is to make meme coin launches a little fairer, not to take the risk out of them.
How to get ready
- Get the MemeSwap app on iPhone and update it before Friday: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memeswap-wallet/id6808042688
- Fund the wallet with SOL on Solana, by card in the app or sent from an exchange, up to \(500 plus a little extra for network costs. 3. Be in the app from 9:00 to 9:02 AM CT on Friday, October 23. Keep launch reminders on in the app's notification settings. The app is on the US App Store and is 18+. The launch isn't available in restricted regions, including the United Kingdom and sanctioned countries.

This is not financial advice. Only use what you can afford to lose, and always do your own research.*
