How pump.fun works

pump.fun is a launchpad on Solana where anyone can create a coin in one transaction. The coin starts on a bonding curve, and once about 85 SOL has gone into the curve it graduates to PumpSwap, pump.fun's exchange.

There's no pool to fund and no code to write: the curve sells the coin at a price that rises as more is bought, from the first second.

What a launch costs

pump.fun charges nothing to create a coin, but Solana takes a deposit of about 0.0225 SOL for the coin's accounts. Add your first buy, if you make one, and the fees on it.

A first buy also pays pump.fun's 1.25% trading fee, like any buy on the curve. Every fee, with the numbers from pump.fun's own fee page, is in pump.fun fees, and the pump.fun calculator works out what a buy gets and what a launch needs.

Before you start

You need a memetools wallet on Solana holding about 0.025 SOL plus your first buy, and the coin's name, ticker and image.

A memetools account. You sign in with Discord, and the app is for members of our server who hold an access role.
A Solana memetools wallet. Open Wallets and create one, or import a private key, such as one exported from Phantom. Keys stay encrypted in your browser and are never sent to us.
SOL in it. Send it from an exchange or another wallet.
The coin. A name of up to 32 characters, a ticker of up to 10, a description of up to 1,000, and an image (PNG, JPEG, GIF or WebP, up to 4.5 MB).

Good to know

Browser extensions don't connect on Solana here. Launches use a newer kind of Solana transaction that extension wallets can't sign yet, so the wallet lives in memetools.

Step by step

From the Launch panel to a live coin, with one approval.

Open Launch and pick pump.fun as the platform.
Fill in the name, ticker, description and image. You can also start from a post in the Twitter feed, or press Vamp to copy a live token's name, ticker, description and image.
Add links if you have them: a website, an X account, a Telegram.
Pick the wallet the coin launches from, and how much SOL it buys.
Choose Mayhem or holder rewards if you want them (next section).
Press Launch coin, check the costs, and approve. memetools checks the transaction, signs it in your browser and sends it.

The coin gets an address ending in “pump”, like every coin created on pump.fun, and shows up on pump.fun right away. If a launch fails, Try again rebuilds it without uploading the image twice.

Choices you can't change later

A coin's name, ticker, image and launch options are fixed once it's live. Read them twice before you approve.

Name, ticker and image. They're written into the coin when it's created.
Mayhem mode. pump.fun's AI agent trades the coin for its first 24 hours. On memetools it needs a first buy of at least 0.06 SOL.
Holder rewards. The coin's creator fees go to its holders, not to you. See pump.fun creator fees.
The launch wallet. It's recorded as the coin's creator, and creator fees collect for it.

Launching with more than one wallet

In the Advanced layout, up to 20 of your bundle wallets can buy as the coin launches, in the coin's first block or right after it.

That's a bundle launch. It has three modes, its own costs, and it's visible to anyone who looks at the coin's first block. pump.fun bundle launches explains all of it.

After the launch

You land on the coin's panel, with its chart, holders, your position and buttons to buy and sell.

Trade from one wallet or several. Quick buttons buy or sell in one press.
Creator fees of 0.30% of every trade on the curve collect for the launch wallet, which claims them on pump.fun. memetools takes no share of them.
Graduation. At about 85 SOL the coin moves to PumpSwap, and pump.fun takes 0.015 SOL from the curve for the move.
After graduation you can still sell here; the sale goes through Jupiter and pays no memetools fee.
History lists the coins your wallets launched.

Risks

Memecoins are highly speculative, and most lose nearly all their value. Most coins on pump.fun never graduate. Nothing here is financial advice.

A coin about a real person or brand must not suggest they back it.
Only you hold your keys. Save a backup of your wallets and keep its password safe: nobody can restore them for you.
Copies of a coin, with the same name and image, are common. The address is the only thing that tells them apart.
Neither pump.fun nor memetools vouches for any coin launched with them.
