The launchpad that made one click token creation normal, and the busiest one on Solana. pump.fun lets anybody mint a token in about thirty seconds with no code and no upfront liquidity. Buyers trade against a bonding curve rather than a pool, so the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell. When the curve fills, the whole thing migrates to a real liquidity pool on PumpSwap and trades like any other Solana token from then on.

What it does well
- No coding and no liquidity needed to launch
- The bonding curve means there is always a price, from the first second
- Liquidity migrates automatically on graduation rather than being pulled by the creator
- Every launch is visible onchain, so anyone can audit the supply and the trades
What to watch
- The overwhelming majority of tokens launched here go to zero
- Creators can and do buy their own supply before announcing it
- Volume and comment sections are trivially faked
- Being on pump.fun says nothing at all about a project, it is a tool anyone can use
If you are going to use it
Use a wallet that holds nothing else
Fund it with the amount you are willing to lose and the gas to move it. A bad approval or a bad buy then costs you exactly that and nothing more.
Check the pair on a viewer first
Copy the contract address into DEX Screener or Birdeye and look at holders, liquidity and pool age before the chart. That order matters.
Size it as money already spent
Not a position, not an investment. The base rate for this whole category is that most of them go to zero, so the only sane amount is one that does not change anything if it does.
Decide the exit before you enter
Write down what would make you sell, in numbers, while you are still calm. Nobody makes that decision well during a candle.
Where to go next
Read a live pair with somebody
An hour on a screen share, going through real tokens and the numbers that answer the question. We never touch your wallet and we never tell you what to buy.
