pump.fun

Getting Started

1. Visit pump.fun and connect your Phantom or Backpack wallet with some SOL.
2. Browse the feed — tokens are sorted by market cap, volume, and age. Look for tokens with active communities.
3. Buy tokens directly on the bonding curve by selecting a token and entering your SOL amount.
4. To launch your own: fill in name, ticker, description, and image — it deploys instantly for ~0.02 SOL.

How pump.fun Connects to the Ecosystem

• Bonding curve → Raydium graduation — Tokens start on pump.fun’s internal bonding curve. When a token reaches ~$69K market cap and the bonding curve fills, it automatically migrates to a Raydium pool with locked liquidity. This is the most important handoff in the Solana meme ecosystem.
• Jupiter aggregation — Once a token graduates to Raydium, it becomes instantly tradeable through Jupiter, meaning every Solana wallet and trading interface can access it.
• Phantom integration — Phantom wallet users can see pump.fun token balances, and Phantom’s built-in swap (powered by Jupiter) can trade graduated tokens.
• Jito MEV — Active pump.fun traders often use Jito bundles for priority transaction inclusion, especially for early buys on new launches.
• Helius tracking — Developers use Helius webhooks to monitor pump.fun token launches, bonding curve progress, and graduation events in real-time.

Key Features

• Bonding curve mechanics — Built-in price discovery that starts at zero and rises as more people buy. Fair launch — no pre-sales, no insider allocations.
• Raydium graduation — Tokens that reach the cap automatically get a Raydium pool with burned LP, providing permanent on-chain liquidity.
• King of the Hill — Featured placement for the token with the highest market cap on the bonding curve. Drives visibility and competition.
• Live activity feed — Real-time stream of buys, sells, new launches, and comments. Extremely addictive social trading experience.
