Pump Fun: Solana memecoin launchpad with bonding curve and fees

Pump Fun Overview

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

• Ethereum
• Base

  @PopPunkOnChain Feb 17, 2026

  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.

   PvP has been a really tough problem for both new and existing traders
   I probably see a post a day about the difficulties of trading
   So glad to see @Pumpfun aim towards solving this and take the necessary steps
   Innovating new blockchain tech towards Customized Pairs is a move in the right direction
   It also points out that they’re listening - user feedback is critical and it feels like concerns are actually being addressed with new, unique ways
   The ecosystem continues to grow!! @PumpfunEco

   this might actually fix vamping
   instead of launching a copycat, people can just launch the obvious beta paired to the runner and get exposure to both
   and if a runner has a whole ecosystem of smaller tokens feeding buy pressure back into it, vamping it becomes way harder
   excited to see how this plays out

   I love what Pumpfun is doing here
   Custom Pairs is taking a new approach at an attempt of solving PVP.
   Instead of traders constantly selling one token to chase another, Custom Pairs allows them to speculate on derivatives tied to the main runner. Trading these derivatives helps support the main token rather than hurting it.
   New blockchain tech also prevents users from paying stacked fees when multiple tokens are involved in a single swap.
   A step toward turning PVP into something that benefits everyone, nice to see pumpfun showing that community feedback is being heard and acted on!

   this is, as a concept, one of my favorite recent developments for the memecoin “ecosystem”
   beta-plays now have more validity; ppl trade them no matter what, but now they actually benefit the alpha
   a lasting, compounding effect in favor of the alpha, regardless of the end-result

   One of the biggest problems with memecoins has always been PVP.
   Everyone wants to find the next runner, but the constant rotation of liquidity and attention often ends up hurting the very coins people are trying to trade.
   What PumpFun is experimenting with through Custom Pairs is genuinely interesting.
   Instead of fighting speculation, why not build infrastructure that makes speculation work in favor of the main runner?
   Imagine being able to trade derivatives of a token without necessarily taking direct exposure to the underlying runner, while the trading activity itself can still generate demand for it.
   That's a fundamentally different approach to PVP.
   What's equally interesting is the technology behind it. PumpFun says they've developed a way to route swaps involving multiple tokens without users having to pay every associated token fee along the way.
   Whether this becomes the solution remains to be seen, but I like the direction.
   The team is listening to feedback, acknowledging the problems traders face, and actually experimenting with solutions.
   That's how you move the space forward.

   Pump doing its part to try to slow down vamping and PVP with its Custom Pairs rollout
   Now any Pump token is eligible to be paired with new launches, with the idea that new paired launches will drive liquidity back to the leaders
   Very interesting experiment here from Pump

    this seems like a good update imo, as always it’s down to traders on how they use it but if utilized in the intended way this is a very pve
    nice to see that the pump fun team are doing their best to tackle pvp with new tech, one of my biggest concerns has been a lack of anti-pvp measures and this is a huge step in the right direction

    Our main goal with this update is to help alleviate the pressure that PVP places on ecosystem tokens and use that energy for good: help strengthen established coins even further.
    We achieve this by encouraging beta plays to pair with the established runner, thereby funneling buy pressure and new holders to the main runner.
    To make this update user-friendly, we had to make numerous innovations to our bonding curve and PumpSwap programs.
    Most importantly, we’ve prevented users from being exposed to exorbitant fees that could put them far underwater immediately when they place a trade. We're the first major platform to bypass fees in multihop swaps.
    We want to ensure that established communities get as much organic buy pressure as possible, which means reducing the fees that traders are exposed to and ensuring as much liquidity enters each token as possible. Reducing fees for traders also lengthens the average lifespan of a retail trader that’s still learning the ropes.

    The problem
    Historically, when a new coin became successful and dominated mindshare, derivatives launched which pulled attention, holders & liquidity away from the main runner, leading to lower ceilings & shorter hold times.

    7 more in this thread

    Now, any newly launched tokens which are paired with an existing runner will directly route every single buy through the runner’s pool, generating more buy pressure and deeper liquidity for the existing community.
    Instead of derivatives being PVP, they now have the potential to be PVE.

    For example:
    1. A trader buys $1000 USDC of $BATON, which is paired with $PUMP
    2. In order to purchase $BATON, the transaction must swap $1000 USDC for $PUMP
    3. $PUMP is then swapped for $BATON, which the trader ultimately receives
    Despite the trader never intentionally trading $PUMP, they:
    - Contributed to $1000 in buy pressure on $PUMP
    - Rewarded $BATON holders with $PUMP Holder Rewards
    - Begin receiving $PUMP in Holder Rewards for as long as they hold $BATON

    FAQs pt. 1
    Which coins can I pair my new tokens to?
    - Coins that are currently trading on the pump fun bonding curve
    - Coins that have graduated to PumpSwap
    - Coins that are on the whitelist
    For technical reasons, coins that previously launched on pump fun and graduated to Raydium are NOT eligible UNLESS they’ve been added to the whitelist e.g. Fartcoin.

    FAQs pt. 2
    How deep can custom pairs go?
    A new token paired with another pump fun token can currently only be paired at a maximum depth of 1, meaning no one can launch another token with a token that’s currently paired with another pump coin.
    However, if a token was previously whitelisted before today, the maximum depth is 2.

    

    FAQs pt. 3
    Do fees on deeper pairs stack, and will I pay more?
    Thanks to a new innovation in Pumpfun’s blockchain program, traders won’t be exposed to stacked fees.
    Previously, deep pairs with multiple swaps involved would expose you to every fee in the chain.
    For example: if RARI & Coin A both had fees set at 1%, you’d be exposed to 2% total fees on the buy, as well as 2% total fees on the sell, meaning you’d pay 4% fees on the full trade.
    We’re proud to be the first launchpad & AMM on Solana to bypass fees in multi-hop transactions, meaning the end user is no longer exposed to exorbitant fees*. To illustrate this: in the previous example, the end user would only pay 1% on the buy and sell.
    *If your trading interface has not upgraded to the latest Pump Program, you will not experience multi-hop swaps with reduced fees. Users on the Pumpfun app, http://pump.fun web & @TradingTerminal are already on the upgraded program and will benefit from less fees.
    We highly encourage all interfaces to support this feature ASAP.
    Integration instructions can be found here: https://github.com/pump-fun/pump-public-docs

    FAQs pt. 5
    What is the whitelist?
    Before this update, in order for a tokenized stock, a pump fun ecosystem token, or any other kind of token to become eligible to be a Custom Pair for new coins on pump fun, they had to be added to the whitelist.
    Now, a great majority of existing pump fun coins and every future pump fun coin is automatically eligible to be a Custom Pair for new tokens.
    We will continue adding eligible Custom Pair tokens that are not part of the pump fun ecosystem to the whitelist.
    You can find the full list tokens that are part of The Whitelist here: https://pump.fun/docs/custom-pairs
    Can I change my coin’s existing pairing after I already launched it?
    No. If the coin is already launched, the token it’s paired with is locked in forever.
