Referral disclosure

What pump.fun pays us, exactly

pump.fun charges a Platform Fee on every trade placed in its web app or mobile app: 0.45% of the trade, or 0.40% if your wallet has applied a referral code (pump.fun Fees page, last updated 17 October 2026). Section 4.9 of its Terms lets it route part of that fee to the referrer.

• The share: from 1 November 2026, pump.fun says referrers receive 37.5% of the Platform Fee, down from 100% during a temporary boost that started on 16 October. On a referred trade that pays 0.40%, that's 0.15% of the trade. On a 1 SOL trade, 0.0015 SOL.
• It can change to zero. The Terms make the share discretionary: pump.fun can reduce or end it at any time, including for wallets that were already referred.
• Only app and web trades count. The Platform Fee, and with it our share, does not apply to trades through Terminal, trading bots, other apps or pump.fun's perps feature.
• Every code is the same for you. Every valid pump.fun referral code gives the same 0.40% Platform Fee instead of 0.45%; the code only decides which referrer is paid. No code gives a bigger discount, and codes named like "OFF100" or "Cashback100" do not change the fee.

pump.fun's terms ban referrers from running paid ads with a code or with pump.fun's name, from making earnings claims and from offering inducements, and they require disclosure. This page is that disclosure. We don't buy ads for our link, and we don't promise you anything beyond the documented 0.40% rate.

The deposit match we don't promote

PumpFYI does not promote pump.fun's deposit match: its terms limit it to natural persons who apply a code in the mobile app before their first card purchase, and bar posting codes on websites. You won't find it in our buttons or guides, and our link doesn't depend on it.

Every referral relationship we have

Links marked "Open", and the referral strip under some short answers, go through pumpfyi.com/go/<venue>/. That short redirect sends you to the venue with our referral attached; search engine crawlers are sent to the venue's public homepage instead. All referral links are marked rel="sponsored", and every page, button and our MCP server for AI agents give the same link for the same venue.

"What the program pays" is what each venue's own referral documentation said when we last checked it. Venues set and change these terms themselves, and some pay less than the headline rate or pay in their own token. Where a venue doesn't publish its terms, we say so rather than guess.

What referral money never changes

• Rankings. Comparisons are ordered by the criteria stated on the page, such as total cost per trade, features or risk. The criteria never include how much a venue pays referrers, and a venue we have no link for (Jupiter, for example) is ranked the same way.
• Facts and numbers. Fees come from each venue's own documents and volumes from DefiLlama and the chain, whether or not the venue pays us.
• Warnings. We report risks, incidents, terms conflicts and country restrictions for venues that pay us exactly as for those that don't. We never suggest ways around a geo restriction.
• Benefits. We promise only what a program documents for you. A referrer's commission (often 25–30% of fees) is not a discount for you, and we never present it as one.

We don't accept payment for reviews, sponsored articles, coin listings or "featured" placements. If that ever changes, the page in question will say so at the top.
