Launch Pump Fun

Pump Fun Overview

Pump.fun is an open Solana memecoin launchpad where anyone with a compatible wallet can create a token without code or approval. It suits creators who want a quick public launch and traders who buy newly launched coins. Teams that need custom tokenomics or vesting should look elsewhere.

Creators enter their token details and confirm a wallet transaction. Traders then buy and sell through a bonding curve: buys push the price up, while sells push it down. Creators buy on the same curve as everyone else, with no reserved team allocation on the standard launch path. Once a token reaches the graduation threshold, the protocol automatically moves liquidity to PumpSwap, a decentralized exchange.

Creators pay a listed platform creation fee of 0 SOL, plus network fees. Traders pay 1.25% per bonding curve trade, including a creator share. The listed graduation fee is 0.015 SOL; PumpSwap fees vary by pool and market cap. The main difference from presale launchpads is direct access: buyers use the public curve rather than compete for reserved allocations. That access does not prevent creators or early buyers from dumping tokens on later buyers.

Pump Fun Key features

  • Open coin creation

    Anyone with a compatible wallet can launch a Solana memecoin through a short form, without writing a contract or seeking listing approval. The platform creation fee is 0 SOL, but users still pay network fees.

  • Standard launch supply

    Standard launches have a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, with about 800 million on the bonding curve. Creators buy on the same curve as other buyers, with no reserved team allocation or hidden presale.

  • Bonding curve trading

    Users buy and sell against onchain reserves under a published price formula, without an order book or a pool they must fund themselves. The total bonding curve fee is 1.25% per trade.

  • Automatic PumpSwap migration

    When a coin reaches the graduation threshold, the protocol moves its accumulated liquidity to PumpSwap automatically. The published graduation fee is 0.015 SOL, and traders then pay fees under the applicable PumpSwap schedule.

  • Burned liquidity tokens

    The protocol burns the PumpSwap pool's LP tokens after graduation, so creators cannot withdraw that liquidity. Creators and early buyers can still dump their coins, so this does not remove rug-pull risk.

  • Creator trade fees

    Creators receive 0.300% of each bonding curve trade through a creator vault, while their share after graduation varies by market cap tier. Creators can split fee income across multiple wallets in later versions of the program.

  • Coin page livestreams

    Creators can broadcast live on a coin page while viewers trade. Creators earn fees from trade volume, including selloffs.

  • SOL and USDC pairs

    Creators can pair new Solana coins with SOL or USDC. Users can pay trading fees in the quote asset.

  • Web and mobile access

    Traders can find coins through live feeds and leaderboards on the web or official mobile app. Users pay no extra frontend platform fee on top of the published swap fees.

  • Optional holder rewards

    Creators can use an optional program path to route fees to holders instead of a single creator. This setting is not the default for every coin.

Pump Fun Fees

  • Launch fee Creators pay 0 SOL or 0 USDC to launch a coin, plus the Solana network fee.
  • Graduation fee The fee for graduation to PumpSwap is 0.015 SOL.
  • Bonding curve fee Traders pay 1.25% per trade on the bonding curve, with 0.300% for the creator and 0.95% for the protocol.
  • Graduated pool fees For canonical graduated PumpSwap pools paired with SOL, traders pay tiered total fees that start near 1.25% for small caps and decrease as market cap rises.
  • Other pool fees Traders in non-canonical PumpSwap pools pay around 0.3% total under the published schedule.

Pump Fun Supported networks

  • Solana
  • Ethereum
  • Base
  • BNB Chain
  • Robinhood Chain
  • Hyperliquid

How to use Pump Fun

  1. Install a Solana wallet

    Install Phantom or Solflare and back up your seed phrase offline. Never share it with anyone.

  2. Add SOL for fees

    Fund your wallet with SOL for network fees. If you plan to buy your own coin, keep extra SOL above the amount you want to spend.

  3. Open the official site

    Open pump.fun in your browser and bookmark the domain. Ignore lookalike sites that promise airdrops.

  4. Connect your wallet

    Connect your Solana wallet to Pump.fun. Approve only the connection request at this step.

  5. Enter your coin details

    Choose "Start a new coin" and enter a name and ticker. Upload an image, then add a description or social links if you want.

  6. Confirm your coin launch

    Confirm the create transaction in your wallet to launch your coin. The platform creation fee is 0 SOL, but you still pay the Solana network fee.

    Creator fees on @pumpfun work VERY well.

    These fees allowed me (and many others) to bootstrap a business from day 0 with onchain capital directly derived from supporters of their project.

    Memes benefit from cashback. Builders benefit from creator fees.

    This is a great update.

    over $1.37 million in pump fun creator fees in TWO WEEKS

    i'm not keeping it, it goes back to solana:9cRCn9rGT8V2imeM2BaKs13yhMEais3ruM3rPvTGpump holders

    and protocols that want my attention can market to the holders instead. incentivize them, airdrop them

    Always remember this. Never forget it.

    the pump fun crowd handed me 80k in creator fees. they weren't doing me a favor. they were setting up an exit. the play was simple. i produce a god candle, they sell into it, i get called a hero for three days, and they walk away with profits funded by everyone who bought the pump. that's the trade they were offering. hero status in exchange for being their exit liquidity machine.

    i didn't take it.

Pump Fun Review

Pros

  • Anyone with a compatible wallet can launch a Solana coin without writing a contract.
  • Creators pay no platform fee to launch a coin, though network fees still apply.
  • Creators and other buyers use the same published bonding curve, with no reserved team allocation.
  • Creators can start trading without funding a liquidity pool themselves.
  • Creators get automatic liquidity migration to PumpSwap when their coin reaches the graduation threshold.
  • The protocol burns LP tokens after graduation, so creators cannot withdraw that pool's liquidity.
  • Creators can earn a share of trading fees without selling their tokens.

Cons

  • Traders pay a 1.25% fee on each bonding curve trade, plus network costs.
  • Most coins never reach the threshold for migration to PumpSwap.
  • Creators and early buyers can dump their tokens even after the pool's LP tokens are burned.
  • Traders compete with bots and snipers in the first seconds of a launch.
  • Creators earn fees when traders sell, so they can profit during a dump.
  • Users bear losses from bad trades and wallet mistakes without a refund path.

Our verdict

I'd recommend Pump.fun's open launchpad for experienced memecoin creators. Traders pay 1.25% per bonding curve trade plus network fees. Creators pay network fees; graduation to PumpSwap costs 0.015 SOL. Slippage adds costs, and creator dumps can leave buyers with worthless tokens. I'd recommend broader use only after seeing fewer scams and lower buyer losses.

Is Pump Fun safe & legit?

Pump.fun is a legitimate open token launchpad run by Baton Corporation Ltd, founded by Noah Tweedale, Alon Cohen and Dylan Kerler. Many crypto traders use it, but that does not mean you can trust the tokens people launch there. Buyers face scams and creator dumps, while the company has faced a UK regulator warning and civil claims over alleged unregistered securities activity.

Pump Fun FAQ

What fees does Pump.fun charge?
Creating a coin costs 0 SOL in platform fees, but you still pay network fees. Each bonding curve trade costs 1.25%, split between the creator at 0.30% and the protocol at 0.95%. After graduation, traders pay PumpSwap fees that vary by market cap tier and pair asset, so check the current fee table before a swap.
Which chains can I launch tokens on?
Solana is the confirmed chain for Pump.fun's standard token launch path, with SOL and USDC among the supported pair assets. The supplied details describe trading across other networks, but do not confirm the same launch support there. Check launch support separately from trading support before you connect a wallet.
Is Pump.fun safe, and who holds my funds?
You control your wallet and approve transactions yourself; Pump.fun does not provide regulated custody or a refund path. Anyone can launch a token, so creators and early buyers can dump their holdings even when they cannot withdraw pool liquidity. Treat a full loss as possible, and never share your seed phrase or private key.
How does the bonding curve work, and where do tokens graduate?
Buyers and sellers trade against a published bonding curve: buys raise the price, while sells lower it. When a coin reaches the graduation threshold, the protocol moves liquidity to PumpSwap and charges a 0.015 SOL graduation fee. The protocol burns the pool's LP tokens, which prevents the creator from withdrawing that liquidity but does not prevent token dumps.
How does Pump.fun compare with IDO or presale launchpads?
Pump.fun is an open memecoin launchpad where anyone with a compatible wallet can launch, without applying for a project slot. On the standard path, creators buy on the same curve as other buyers, with no presale or reserved team allocation. If you need staking-based allocations or custom vesting, this is a poor fit; KYC requirements are not stated in the supplied details.

    First diamond callout hit, This is much more my speed, was surprised to get a large callout reward today
    I’m usually taking higher risk and holding thru volatily on higher cap coins so i’m all for getting rewarded for that, especially given it’s somehow evolved into an unpopular trading style

    pump has added ~11 chains past two weeks, & now giving out cash to people adding theses to higher market cap coins & trading perps + crosschain tokens
    lot of the pushback on the rewards was towards ppl spamming callouts on low mc tokens and taking advantage of volume spikes, this is completely orthogonal to that activity

    Tyler and Farokh explain why Pumpfun ($PUMP) new Diamond and Degen algorithm update is their best release yet by rewarding long-term holds and higher market cap plays
    “Pump is changing the call-out rewards, using a portion of the daily rewards pot to go to this new Diamond algorithm.
    “It's focused on higher market cap tokens, incentivizing holding, reducing call-out spam, and boosting rewards for certain asset classes like perps.”
    “This is Pump responding to the criticism that all they reward is micro-cap pump-and-dump numbers every day.”
    “Now they're going to start rewarding people who are calling out $1M, $5M, $10M market cap tokens and actually buying and holding.”
    “I think this is going to change the game a bit and change how people look at call-outs.”
    “focusing more on longer-term plays. This is the single best update I have seen from Pump in a very long time.”
