Key Takeaways:

Raydium, the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana by cumulative volume, announced the launch of its anticipated token creation platform, LaunchLab on Tuesday — directly challenging the dominance of Pump.fun.
This development follows months of speculation after early signs of the platform's creation surfaced last month.
LaunchLab marks a major evolution for Raydium, which had previously maintained a close working relationship with Pump.fun before pivoting to build its launch infrastructure.
A few weeks ago, Pump.fun launched its own DEX called PumpSwap, indicating an intensifying rivalry between two major players in the Solana ecosystem.
