They use the same underlying launchpad contracts, but they're meant to host different kinds of launches and they get different visual treatment in the UI. ## Memes A Meme launch is the open-ended one. The prompt is usually a vibe, an inside joke, or a piece of culture you want to rally around. Threads on meme tokens tend to be image-heavy. Use Meme if: * You want a launch that's fun, playful, or community-driven. * The prompt is more "what is this thing?" than "do this specific thing". ## Dares A Dare is a community challenge with a token attached. The prompt is action-oriented — *"do X and post evidence in the thread"* — and the token's value is tied to the community deciding the dare was completed. Use Dare if: * Your prompt asks people to *do* something specific. * The token is going to act as a stake or a reward for someone completing the challenge. * You want the visual treatment that signals "this is a contest, not just a vibe". ## What's actually different between them? * **The visual treatment** — color theming, badges, and how the token shows up in feeds. * **Which feed it appears in** — Memes and Dares each have their own feed plus the unified All/Trending feed. * **Tone of comment threads** — Memes tend to skew creative; Dares skew toward proof-of-completion posts. Everything *protocol-side* is identical: same bonding curve, same graduation behavior, same fee mechanics, same creator earnings. The choice is editorial, not technical. ## Where to next * [**Discovering tokens →**](/launchpad/discover.md) * [**Launching your own token →**](/launchpad/launch-a-token.md) * [**Comments and yaps →**](/social-features/comments-and-yaps.md) — how the thread works --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.kumbaya.xyz/launchpad/dares-and-memes.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
