# Metaplex Genesis
|
|
|
|
Metaplex Genesis is a curated token launch platform on Solana that is experiencing declining activity. The platform represents the middle ground between permissionless chaos (Pump.fun) and futarchy-governed curation (MetaDAO), but is losing market position to both extremes as the launchpad market segments.
