Pump.fun (PUMP) is the native SPL token of the Pump.fun memecoin factory on Solana. Launched in January 2024, Pump.fun provides an imageboard-style interface where anyone can create and instantly trade custom SPL tokens without coding. With over six million coins launched, Pump.fun fuels on-platform swapping, token 'graduation' to DEXs, and a 1% swap fee revenue model, making it a central hub for Solana memecoin activity.
Pump.fun is a Solana-based memecoin factory and launchpad where users can create, list, and trade SPL tokens instantly via a simple imageboard-style UI, without writing any code.
Connect your Solana wallet, fill in the token name, ticker, and image, then click “Create.” Your new SPL token is minted and immediately available for trading on the Pump.fun Board.
The Board is Pump.fun's catalog of newly created tokens where anyone can swap tokens instantly using the native PumpSwap AMM, with a flat 1% swap fee on each trade.
When a token's market cap reaches $90,000 on Pump.fun, its creator can pay a 1.5 SOL listing fee to graduate it to major DEXs (e.g., Raydium), unlocking broader liquidity.
Pump.fun charges a 1% swap fee on all on-platform trades and a 1.5 SOL graduation fee for tokens that meet the market-cap threshold.
PUMP trades on centralized exchanges like KuCoin (PUMP/USDT) and Kraken (PUMP/USD), as well as on Solana DEXs such as PumpSwap and Raydium (PUMP/USDC, PUMP/SOL).
Any Solana-compatible wallet works, including Phantom, Solflare, Slope, and hardware wallets like Ledger and Trezor.
Most newly created memecoins fail to gain liquidity or traction, and some may be subject to soft rug pulls. Always review holder distributions, liquidity depth, and use caution when trading.
Install a Solana wallet (e.g., Solflare), visit pump.fun, connect your wallet, and use the Board to create or trade tokens. Join Pump.fun's Telegram or Twitter for updates and community support.
