Answer: PumpFYI is an independent, unofficial guide to pump.fun. We explain what a trade really costs, how to check a coin before you buy and where pump.fun coins trade, using pump.fun's own published terms and public on-chain data (latest data read: 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC). We are not pump.fun, we are not affiliated with its operator Baton Corporation Ltd., and every page shows when it was last updated and what it is based on. ## Referral disclosure URL: https://pumpfyi.com/disclosure/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: How PumpFYI makes money: pump.fun pays referrers 37.5% of its 0.40% app Platform Fee, and trading apps pay their own shares. Rankings never depend on it. Answer: PumpFYI earns money from referral links. If you open pump.fun through our link, your app and web trades pay the 0.40% Platform Fee instead of 0.45%, and pump.fun passes 37.5% of that fee to us (0.15% of your referred trading volume, from 1 November 2026). pump.fun can cut that share at any time, including to zero. Trading apps such as Axiom and fomo pay their own shares under their own programs. You pay nothing extra, and no one pays for rankings, coverage or wording. Q: Does PumpFYI get paid when I use its pump.fun link? A: Yes. pump.fun passes 37.5% of the Platform Fee on your app and web trades to the referrer, from 1 November 2026: 0.15% of what you trade. You pay 0.40% instead of 0.45%, the same as with any other code. pump.fun can change the share at any time, including to zero. Q: Do PumpFYI rankings depend on referral payments? A: No. Venues are compared on what they cost you, what they offer and their risks, in the order stated on each page. A venue with no referral program, such as Jupiter, is ranked the same way as one that pays us. Q: Why doesn't PumpFYI promote pump.fun's $50 deposit match? A: Its terms limit it to natural persons who apply a code in the mobile app before their first card purchase, and they bar posting referral codes on websites. A site like ours can't offer it within those terms, so we don't. ## PumpFYI MCP server URL: https://pumpfyi.com/mcp/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: A free, read-only MCP server for AI agents: pump.fun fee quotes, the cheapest place to trade a pump.fun coin, coin checks, referral facts and site search. Answer: PumpFYI runs a free, read-only MCP server at https://pumpfyi.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no API key). It has 5 tools: fee_quote, route_cost, coin_check, get_referral_info and search_site. Fee answers follow pump.fun's own Fees page (last updated 17 October 2026) and name it as the source. ## Methodology URL: https://pumpfyi.com/methodology/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Where PumpFYI's pump.fun facts come from, why we read archived copies of pump.fun's docs, how we compute trading costs, and how to report a correction. Answer: PumpFYI uses primary sources only: pump.fun's own Fees page and Terms (read from dated Internet Archive copies; the current Fees page was last updated on 17 October 2026), each trading app's own docs, DefiLlama and the public Solana chain. We never use pump.fun's Developer API. Costs are the sum of the fee layers that apply to a trade, such as 1.25% on the bonding curve plus the 0.45% app Platform Fee, and every page shows its Updated date. Q: Where does PumpFYI get its pump.fun numbers? A: Fee rules come from pump.fun's own Fees page and Terms, read from dated Internet Archive copies. Volumes and fee totals come from DefiLlama, pool data from GeckoTerminal and DexScreener, and coin checks from the public Solana chain. We never use pump.fun's Developer API. Q: How does PumpFYI calculate the cost of a pump.fun trade? A: We add the layers that apply to the trade: the pump.fun protocol fee for where the coin trades (1.25% on the bonding curve, a market-cap tier on PumpSwap), the 0.45% or 0.40% Platform Fee if you trade in the pump.fun app, and the trading app's own fee if you use one. A 1 SOL bonding-curve buy in the pump.fun app costs about 1.70%, or 1.65% with a referral code, before network fees. Q: How do I report a mistake on PumpFYI? A: Use the corrections form on this page. Tell us the page and what is wrong; a link to a primary source helps. We fix verified errors and update the page's Updated date. ## Official pump.fun links URL: https://pumpfyi.com/official-links/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun's real domains, iOS and Android apps, X account and support channels, each checked against pump.fun's own pages, plus documented fake sites to avoid. Answer: pump.fun's official site is pump.fun; its app is "pump.fun - speculate on trends" from Maius Imperium Limited (App Store ID 6717572591, Android package com.batonresearch.pump); its X account is @pumpfun; and its Terms name t.me/pumpfunsupport as the support contact. pump.fun says it will never ask for your private keys, seed phrase or one-time codes. Anything else claiming to be pump.fun should be treated as unofficial. Q: What is pump.fun's official website? A: pump.fun. Its official subdomains include swap.pump.fun (PumpSwap), join.pump.fun (app installs) and docs.pump.fun (developer docs). Terminal, the trading terminal pump.fun owns, runs at trade.padre.gg. Q: What is pump.fun's official support? A: The Terms of Use (§28.1) name t.me/pumpfunsupport as the support contact, and the Google Play listing gives support@pump.fun. pump.fun says it will never ask for your private keys, seed phrase or one-time codes. Q: What is pump.fun's official X account? A: pump.fun's website footer links twitter.com/pumpfun (x.com/pumpfun). Its Google Play listing still links x.com/pumpdotfun, the handle used in 2025. Reach either from pump.fun itself, not from search. Q: Who publishes the pump.fun app? A: Maius Imperium Limited, on both the Apple App Store (ID 6717572591) and Google Play (package com.batonresearch.pump, developer name "pump.fun"). ## pump.fun referral code, explained honestly URL: https://pumpfyi.com/referral-code/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Every valid pump.fun referral code gives the same 0.40% Platform Fee instead of 0.45%, on app and web trades only. Answer: Any valid pump.fun referral code cuts the app's Platform Fee from 0.45% to 0.40% of each trade, on pump.fun web and mobile-app trades only. Every code gives exactly the same discount; the code only decides which referrer earns a share of your fee (37.5% of it since 1 November 2026). Codes named "OFF100" or promising "$50 free" give you nothing extra. Q: What is the best pump.fun referral code? A: There isn’t one. Every valid code gives the same 0.40% Platform Fee instead of 0.45%, on app and web trades only. A code’s name ("VIP50", "OFF100") changes nothing; it only decides which referrer is paid. Q: Can I add a pump.fun referral code after signing up? A: Yes. pump.fun’s Terms (§4.9(b)) let you apply another user’s code "whether or not you have used the Pump Platform before". Only one code can be linked to a wallet, and pump.fun may treat that link as permanent once made. Q: How much does a pump.fun referral code save? A: 0.05% of every app trade: $0.05 on a $100 trade, $0.50 per $1,000 traded. A $100 bonding-curve buy in the app costs 1.65% with a code instead of 1.70%. Q: Does a pump.fun referral code work on Axiom, GMGN or Terminal? A: No. The code changes only pump.fun’s Platform Fee, which applies only in the pump.fun web app and mobile app. Terminal, Axiom, GMGN, bots and wallets don’t charge it, so a pump.fun code does nothing there. Q: Is the pump.fun $50 referral bonus real? A: A separate deposit-match program exists, but it isn’t free money. A new user must apply a code in the mobile app before their first card purchase, then trade on 5 days within 10. Both sides get up to $50 in installments while a capped budget lasts. Its terms bar posting codes on websites, so we don’t. Q: How do I know my pump.fun referral code worked? A: pump.fun shows the Platform Fee as a separate line before you confirm each trade in the app. With a code applied it reads 0.40% of the trade; without one, 0.45%. ## Start using pump.fun safely URL: https://pumpfyi.com/start/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: The safe path for new pump.fun users: the risks, who is allowed, sign-in, funding, checking a coin, a small first trade at its real cost, and getting out. Answer: To start safely: confirm you're allowed (18+, not in the UK or a sanctioned country), sign in with an email wallet or your own Solana wallet, add a small amount of SOL, check the coin's contract address and holders, then buy a small amount. In the pump.fun app a bonding-curve buy costs 1.70% (1.25% curve fee plus the 0.45% Platform Fee) and the sale the same again. Fewer than 1 in 100 new coins graduate (0.84% in April 2026), so only use money you can lose. # Fees ## pump.fun fees, calculated URL: https://pumpfyi.com/fees/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Every pump.fun fee from the official Fees page: 1.25% on the curve, the 1.25%–0.30% PumpSwap ladder, the 0.45% app fee, and a calculator for any app. Answer: A pump.fun bonding-curve buy in the pump.fun app costs 1.70% (1.65% with any referral code): 1.25% in pool fees plus the 0.45% Platform Fee added on 17 October 2026. After graduation the PumpSwap pool fee falls from 1.25% to 0.30% as market cap grows. Other apps skip the Platform Fee but add their own fee, often 1%. Q: How much are pump.fun fees? A: On the bonding curve every trade pays 1.25% (0.30% creator, 0.95% protocol). After graduation the PumpSwap canonical pool charges 1.25% down to 0.30% by market cap. Trades in the pump.fun web or mobile app add a 0.45% Platform Fee, or 0.40% with a referral code (Fees page, last updated 17 October 2026). Q: Does a pump.fun referral code lower my fees? A: Yes, by 0.05 percentage points: the Platform Fee drops from 0.45% to 0.40% on app and web trades. Every valid code gives the same 0.40%; the code only decides which referrer is paid. It does nothing on Terminal, Axiom, GMGN, bots or Jupiter. Q: Is it cheaper to buy pump.fun coins on Axiom or GMGN? A: Not on fees. Axiom and GMGN charge 1% (Axiom 0.9% for referred users) on top of the same pool fees, against the app’s 0.45%. A $100 bonding-curve buy costs about $2.25 on GMGN and $1.70 in the pump.fun app, before priority fees. Q: Does Terminal charge the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: No. The Fees page says the Platform Fee is not charged on trades placed through Terminal (formerly Padre) or any third-party interface. Terminal’s own interface fee is not published on an official page, so check its confirmation screen. Q: What are PumpSwap fees? A: A graduated coin’s canonical PumpSwap pool charges 1.25% below 420 SOL market cap, 1.20% from 420 SOL, then steps down to 0.30% at 98,240 SOL and above (USDC coins: 59,000 USDC to 20M USDC). Any other PumpSwap pool charges a flat 0.30%. Q: Can I avoid the pump.fun fee by buying through Jupiter or Phantom? A: You avoid only the 0.45% Platform Fee; the 1.25% curve fee or the PumpSwap fee still applies. Jupiter’s default Ultra mode adds 0.5% on tokens under 24 hours old, its Manual mode adds nothing, and Phantom adds 0.85%. Q: Does it cost anything to create a coin on pump.fun? A: There is no platform fee to create a coin, only Solana network fees and rent. Graduation costs 0.015 SOL, deducted from the bonding curve for SOL-paired coins. In the app, the creator’s first buy pays the Platform Fee like any other trade. ## pump.fun fee and program changes URL: https://pumpfyi.com/fees/changes/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Every pump.fun fee and referral-program change with its date and evidence: the 0.45% Platform Fee, the end of the 4x boost, perps fee cuts and earlier changes. Answer: pump.fun's biggest recent fee change came on 17 October 2026: trades in its app now pay a 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code). On 1 November 2026 the referrer's share fell from all of that fee during a 4× launch boost to 37.5%. Between 19 and 31 October the perps builder-fee cap fell from 0.10% to 0.05%. Q: When did pump.fun add the 0.45% fee? A: The Platform Fee started on 17 October 2026. It applies only to trades placed in the pump.fun web app or mobile app: 0.45%, or 0.40% with a referral code. Before 8 October 2026 the Fees page said pump.fun’s own apps charged nothing beyond the pool fees on Solana. Q: Is the pump.fun 4x referral boost still running? A: No. pump.fun said on 1 November 2026 that the limited-time 4x boost had ended and that referrers now earn 37.5% of the Platform Fee their referrals pay. Pages still advertising the 4x boost or "100% of fees" are out of date. Q: When did pump.fun start paying creator fees? A: Creator fees apply to every coin on the bonding curve or PumpSwap from 13 May 2025. They started at 0.05% of each trade; since 1 September 2025 creators get 0.30% on the curve and up to 0.95% in PumpSwap, depending on market cap. Q: Did pump.fun fees go up or down in 2025? A: Both. On 1 September 2025 the bonding-curve fee rose from 1% to 1.25%, while graduated coins moved to a ladder that falls to 0.30% for the largest coins. Smaller graduated coins pay up to 1.25%, more than the old flat 0.30%. # Guides ## Sign in to pump.fun: email wallet or your own wallet? URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/create-a-wallet-for-pump-fun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun lets you sign in with an email code (a Privy wallet is made for you) or connect Phantom or another Solana wallet. The trade-offs, and how to back up. Answer: You have two options. Email sign-in creates a self-custodial Solana wallet for you through Privy, a company separate from pump.fun (Terms §30.1); it's the quickest start, but you depend on your email and Privy to get back in unless you export the key. Connecting your own wallet (Phantom, Solflare and others) keeps you in full control and lets you trade the same coins elsewhere, but you alone guard the seed phrase. Q: What wallet does pump.fun use? A: If you sign in with email, pump.fun creates an embedded Solana wallet through Privy.io, which is not part of pump.fun (Terms §30.1). You can instead connect your own Solana wallet, such as Phantom or Solflare. Q: Can I export my pump.fun wallet's private key? A: Yes. The app has an Export wallet option that reveals the private key after a security warning. Store it offline; anyone with it controls the wallet. Q: Can pump.fun freeze or take my funds? A: pump.fun says no: its App Store listing says it cannot access or freeze funds, and the terms say it has no control over your wallet or its keys. It can restrict your access to its app, though, so keep a way to reach the wallet without it. ## Does pump.fun require KYC? URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/does-pump-fun-require-kyc/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: No ID to sign up or trade on pump.fun. KYC can apply to competition prizes, the deposit match, referral payouts and card purchases. Sourced from its terms. Answer: No, not to sign up or trade. pump.fun needs only an email sign-in code or a connected wallet, and its Terms of Use (17 October 2026) set no identity check for buying or selling. Identity checks can apply in four places: trading competition prizes (Competition Terms §5), the deposit-match program, referral fee share payouts, and card purchases, which run through a third-party payment provider. Q: Do I need to verify my identity to use pump.fun? A: No. You sign in with an email code or by connecting a Solana wallet, and the Terms of Use set no ID check for trading. Prizes, the deposit match and referral payouts can require one. Q: Do pump.fun competition winners have to do KYC? A: They can be asked to. The Trading Competition Terms (§5) let pump.fun require identity, age and wallet-ownership checks before paying a prize, and a winner who doesn't finish them within 30 days forfeits it. Q: Does buying crypto with a card on pump.fun need ID? A: Usually, yes, but the check is run by the payment provider, not pump.fun. pump.fun's program terms say it doesn't name its card providers and that they can change. Q: Is pump.fun anonymous? A: No. There's no ID check, but every trade is public on the Solana blockchain, and pump.fun logs device, IP, wallet and session data for security and compliance (Terms §6.2). ## How to fund your pump.fun account URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/fund-your-pump-fun-account/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Two ways to add money to pump.fun: buy SOL or USDC by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay in the app, or send SOL or USDC on Solana from an exchange or wallet. Answer: Either buy crypto inside the app (the Deposit screen offers card, Apple Pay and Google Pay through a third-party provider) or send SOL or USDC on the Solana network to your pump.fun wallet address from an exchange or another wallet. pump.fun charges nothing to deposit; the card provider and your exchange set their own fees. Keep about 0.01–0.02 SOL spare for network fees and token-account rent. Q: How do I add money to pump.fun? A: Use Deposit in the app to buy with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, or send SOL or USDC on the Solana network to your pump.fun wallet address. pump.fun itself charges no deposit fee. Q: Can I send USDC from Ethereum or Base to pump.fun? A: Not directly. Your pump.fun wallet address is a Solana address. pump.fun's terms (§8.6) say it isn't responsible for assets sent on an unsupported network or in a bridged form it doesn't recognise. Withdraw on Solana from your exchange. Q: Why is my deposit not showing on pump.fun? A: Check the transaction on a Solana explorer using your wallet address. If it was sent on another network, or to a different address, it won't appear. Card purchases can take a few minutes after the provider approves them. ## How to buy a coin on pump.fun URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/how-to-buy-on-pump-fun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Sign in, add SOL or USDC, check the coin, then buy. Step by step for the pump.fun app and website, with the real cost: 1.70% per side on the bonding curve. Answer: Sign in at pump.fun or in the app (an email code creates a wallet), add SOL or USDC, paste the coin's contract address into search, check it, enter an amount and confirm. A bonding-curve buy in the pump.fun app costs 1.70%: 1.25% curve fees plus the 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code), per pump.fun's Fees page of 17 October 2026, plus a small Solana network fee. Q: How do I buy a coin on pump.fun? A: Sign in with an email code or a Solana wallet, deposit SOL or USDC, search the coin by its contract address, enter an amount and confirm. The trade settles on Solana within seconds. Q: What does it cost to buy on pump.fun? A: On the bonding curve in the pump.fun app or website: 1.25% curve fees plus the 0.45% Platform Fee, so 1.70% (1.65% with a referral code), plus a Solana network fee. Selling costs the same again. Q: What is the minimum to buy on pump.fun? A: pump.fun publishes no minimum trade size. In practice you need enough SOL to cover the trade, the network fee and the small rent deposit Solana charges to open a token account. Q: Can I buy pump.fun coins without the pump.fun app? A: Yes. Wallets such as Phantom, aggregators such as Jupiter, and trading terminals all route to the same bonding curve. They don't charge pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee, but most add their own fee. ## Creating a coin on pump.fun: costs, rules and risks URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/how-to-create-a-coin-on-pump-fun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: What launching a pump.fun coin involves: no platform fee, the creator fee schedule, the 0.015 SOL graduation fee, the legal duties. Answer: Creating a coin on pump.fun has no platform fee, only Solana network fees and account rent (Fees page, 17 October 2026). The creator earns a creator fee of 0.30% on bonding-curve trades and 0.05–0.95% in the PumpSwap pool if the coin graduates, but only 0.84% of coins launched in April 2026 did. Creators carry legal duties: no market manipulation or misleading promotion (Terms §3.3), and their own tax on fees. Q: How much does it cost to create a coin on pump.fun? A: pump.fun charges no platform fee to create a coin. You pay the Solana network fee and the small SOL deposit needed to open the token's accounts. If you buy your own coin at launch, that buy pays the normal trading fees, including the 0.45% Platform Fee in the app. Q: How much do pump.fun creators earn? A: The creator fee is 0.30% of bonding-curve volume. After graduation it's 0.95% at 420–1,470 SOL market cap, stepping down to 0.05% at 98,240 SOL and up. Most coins see little volume, so most creators earn very little. Q: What happens when a pump.fun coin graduates? A: It moves from the bonding curve to its own canonical PumpSwap pool. pump.fun charges a 0.015 SOL graduation fee, and the fee schedule switches to PumpSwap's market-cap tiers. ## How to spot a rug on pump.fun URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/how-to-spot-a-rug-on-pump-fun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Eight checks before you buy a pump.fun coin: the real contract address, holder concentration, dev wallet, bundles, snipers, mint authority and clones. Answer: Check who holds the supply, not just the chart. On a standard pump.fun coin the mint and freeze authority are already revoked (6 of 6 coins we sampled on 4 November 2026), so the usual rug is a dump: a dev wallet, a bundle of wallets bought in the same block, or a few top holders selling at once. Before buying, confirm the contract address, then check top-10 %, dev holdings %, bundlers % and snipers %, and look for clones with the same ticker. Q: How do I check if a pump.fun coin is a rug? A: Paste its contract address into a checker and look at holder concentration: top-10 %, dev holdings, bundlers and snipers. On pump.fun, mint and freeze authority are normally already revoked, so a rug is almost always concentrated holders selling. Q: Does a contract address ending in "pump" mean it's real? A: No. Open-source tools generate addresses with any ending, and some genuine pump.fun coins don't end in "pump". One of six bonding-curve coins we checked on 4 November 2026 didn't. Get the address from the coin's own pump.fun page. Q: Can a pump.fun dev mint more tokens? A: Not on a standard coin: the six we checked on 4 November 2026 had no mint authority and a fixed supply of about 1 billion. Mayhem Mode coins are the exception: an AI agent mints an extra 1 billion tokens at launch. ## Is pump.fun available in the US? URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/is-pump-fun-available-in-the-us/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Yes for spot trading, no for perps. A country-by-country table of what pump.fun allows: spot, perps, referral fee share and deposit match, from its own terms. Answer: Yes. US users can sign up, buy and sell coins in the pump.fun app and website, because the US is not on pump.fun's Prohibited Jurisdiction list (Terms of Use, last updated 17 October 2026). The one thing US users can't use is perps: §30B.2 bars anyone in the United States or Ontario. The UK is blocked from pump.fun entirely. Q: Can I use pump.fun in the US? A: Yes for buying, selling and creating coins. The US is not a Prohibited Jurisdiction in pump.fun's Terms of Use. Perps (leveraged futures through Hyperliquid) are not available to anyone in the US (§30B.2). Q: Is pump.fun banned in the UK? A: Yes. The United Kingdom is the first country on pump.fun's Prohibited Jurisdiction list (§32). pump.fun blocked UK users in December 2024 after the FCA said it lacked permission to operate there. Q: Can I use a VPN to access pump.fun? A: No. pump.fun's terms (§21(x)) ban using VPNs, proxies or location spoofing to get around its restrictions, and the deposit-match terms say the same. Breaking them can get an account restricted and any rewards forfeited. Q: Is pump.fun legal in the US? A: pump.fun's terms allow US users, but legality is a separate question we can't answer for you. SEC staff said on 27 February 2025 that typical meme coins are not securities; that statement is non-binding, and state law and tax rules still apply. ## Is pump.fun safe? URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/is-pump-fun-safe/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun's contracts are widely used, but most coins on it lose nearly all their value. The real risks ranked: coin losses, scams, custody, fees and legal. Answer: The platform is legitimate, but the coins are not safe. Solidus Labs found 98.6% of pump.fun coins showed rug-pull or pump-and-dump traits (May 2025), and fewer than 1 in 100 new coins ever graduate to PumpSwap (0.84% in April 2026). The biggest risks, in order: losing most of what you put into a coin, scams that imitate pump.fun, losing access to your wallet, and fees of about 1.7% each way in the app. Q: Is pump.fun legit? A: Yes, as a platform. It is run by Baton Corporation Ltd. and Bracket Company Ltd., published terms and fee schedules, and took $175.0M in fees in October 2026 (DefiLlama). Most coins launched on it are not legit investments. Q: Can pump.fun steal my money? A: pump.fun says it can't access or freeze funds in its app wallets, which are self-custodial and provided by Privy (App Store listing; Terms §30.1). The main ways people lose money are bad coins, scams and leaked keys. Q: Has pump.fun been hacked? A: Yes, twice in ways that mattered. In May 2024 a former employee took about $1.9M from bonding-curve contracts. In February 2025 its X account was hijacked to promote a fake PUMP token. Q: What percentage of pump.fun coins are rugs? A: Solidus Labs put it at 98.6% with rug-pull or pump-and-dump traits (May 2025). A separate measure: 0.84% of coins launched in April 2026 graduated to PumpSwap. ## The pump.fun mobile app URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/pump-fun-mobile-app/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun's official app is on the App Store and Google Play from Maius Imperium Limited (package com.batonresearch.pump). Ratings, fees and how to spot fakes. Answer: The official pump.fun app is "pump.fun - speculate on trends", published by Maius Imperium Limited on the Apple App Store (ID 6717572591) and listed under the developer "pump.fun" on Google Play (package com.batonresearch.pump, 1M+ downloads). It's free; trades in it pay the same 0.45% Platform Fee as the website (0.40% with a referral code). As of 4 November 2026 it rated 4.7 on iOS (4,304 US ratings) and 3.9 on Google Play (6,460 reviews). Q: Is there a pump.fun app? A: Yes. "pump.fun - speculate on trends" is on the Apple App Store (published by Maius Imperium Limited) and on Google Play (developer "pump.fun", package com.batonresearch.pump). It's free to download. Q: Who makes the pump.fun app? A: The store listings name Maius Imperium Limited, with an address in Limerick, Ireland on Google Play. pump.fun's terms (§1.7) say the Pump Entities are solely responsible for the apps. Q: Is the pump.fun app safe? A: The official app is self-custodial: its listing says pump.fun cannot access or freeze your funds, and wallets come from Privy.io. The coins you trade in it carry the same risks as on the website. Q: Does the pump.fun app charge fees? A: Downloading is free. Each trade pays pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code) on top of pool fees: 1.25% on the bonding curve, so 1.70% per side. ## pump.fun scams and how to avoid them URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/pump-fun-scams/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: The scams that target pump.fun users: fake support, phishing domains, fake airdrops, cloned coins, bundled launches and wallet drainers, with dated real cases. Answer: The costliest pump.fun scams are imitations: fake support accounts asking for your seed phrase, lookalike sites selling a fake "PUMP airdrop", and cloned coins with the same name. pump.fun's terms say it will never ask for your private keys, seed phrase or one-time codes (§12.2(c)). Even real domains can be hijacked: bonk.fun's site served a wallet drainer on 11–12 March 2026, and one user lost over $270,000. Q: Does pump.fun support DM you? A: Treat any unsolicited DM as a scam. pump.fun's listed support channel is t.me/pumpfunsupport (Terms §28.1), and its terms say it will never ask for your keys, seed phrase or one-time codes. Q: Is the PUMP airdrop real? A: Sites offering a "PUMP airdrop" or "claim" have been documented as wallet drainers, for example pumpclaimpad[.]fun and pump-fun-airdrop.pages[.]dev. Check any claim against pump.fun's own pages, reached by typing pump.fun yourself. Q: What do I do if I signed a drainer transaction? A: Move whatever is left to a brand-new wallet immediately, from a clean device, and stop using the old wallet. Blockchain transfers can't be reversed, and nobody who offers to "recover" funds for a fee can do it. ## pump.fun and taxes URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/pump-fun-taxes/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun sends no tax forms and offers no tax advice. What to record for every trade, which events are usually taxable, and where to find your country's rules. Answer: pump.fun says you are solely responsible for your taxes (Terms of Use §29.16) and gives no tax advice. In most countries, selling or swapping a coin is a taxable disposal, and creator fees, Holder Rewards and referral payouts are usually income. pump.fun's terms let it ask for tax information or report payouts where the law requires (§4.8(i), §4.9(i)), so keep your own record of every trade: date, coin address, amounts, SOL or USD value and fees. Q: Do I have to pay tax on pump.fun trades? A: In most countries, yes: selling or swapping a coin is usually a taxable disposal, with a gain or loss measured against what you paid. pump.fun says taxes are solely your responsibility (§29.16). Q: Does pump.fun send tax forms? A: We found no tax form or tax report in pump.fun's published pages as of 4 November 2026. Its terms say it may request tax information or report payouts such as Holder Rewards and referral fee share to authorities where the law requires. Q: Are pump.fun creator fees taxable? A: pump.fun's terms tell creators they are solely responsible for tax on creator fees, "including reporting and remitting income, capital gains, VAT, or similar taxes". In most countries they are treated as income when received. ## How to sell and withdraw from pump.fun URL: https://pumpfyi.com/guides/sell-and-withdraw-from-pump-fun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Sell a pump.fun coin back to SOL or USDC, then withdraw to any Solana wallet or exchange. The fees, the network rules, and why some coins can't be sold. Answer: Open the coin, choose Sell, pick an amount and confirm: you receive SOL or USDC, minus 1.25% curve fees and the 0.45% Platform Fee in the app (0.40% with a referral code). Then choose Withdraw and send SOL or USDC to any Solana address, such as your exchange's Solana deposit address, and sell it for cash there. pump.fun's Fees page lists no withdrawal fee; you pay the Solana network fee. Q: How do I cash out from pump.fun to my bank? A: Sell the coin for SOL or USDC, withdraw it to your exchange's Solana deposit address, then sell there and withdraw to your bank. We found no bank cash-out in pump.fun's own pages as of 4 November 2026. Q: Why can't I sell my pump.fun coin? A: Common reasons: not enough SOL left for the network fee, slippage set too low for a fast-moving coin, or no buyers at any sensible price. Mayhem Mode and transfer-tax coins add their own limits. Q: How much does it cost to withdraw from pump.fun? A: pump.fun's Fees page lists no withdrawal fee; you pay the Solana network fee. Selling first costs 1.70% on the bonding curve in the app (1.65% with a referral code). # Learn ## Learn pump.fun URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Plain-English, sourced explainers on pump.fun: the bonding curve, graduation, fees, PumpSwap, the PUMP token, perps, callouts, GO and the court case. Answer: pump.fun is a Solana app where anyone can create a memecoin for free. Each coin first trades on a price curve, then moves to pump.fun's own exchange, PumpSwap, once the curve sells out. In the 30 days to November 4, 2026, DefiLlama counted $159M in fees across pump.fun's products and 74.6% of all Solana launchpad fees. Start with what pump.fun is, then the bonding curve and graduation. Most memecoins lose most of their value. ## The pump.fun bonding curve, explained URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/bonding-curve/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: How pump.fun's bonding curve prices a coin: virtual reserves of 30 SOL and 1.073B tokens, a 14.7x price rise, and graduation at about 85 SOL. Answer: pump.fun's bonding curve prices a coin with a constant-product formula over virtual reserves of 30 SOL and 1,073,000,000 tokens, per its on-chain Global settings read on 4 November 2026. A SOL-paired coin starts at a market value of about 28 SOL; when the curve has sold its 793.1M tokens, after about 85 SOL of net buying, the price is 14.7 times higher and the coin graduates to PumpSwap. Each trade on the curve also pays a 1.25% fee. Q: How much SOL does it take for a pump.fun coin to graduate? A: About 85 SOL of net buying, before fees, for a standard SOL-paired coin. That figure follows from the virtual reserves stored on-chain (30 SOL and 1,073,000,000 tokens) and the 793.1M tokens the curve sells, read on 4 November 2026. Q: What market cap does a pump.fun coin graduate at? A: About 411 SOL, counting all 1 billion tokens at the final curve price. In dollars it depends on the SOL price at the time; it is not a fixed dollar figure. Q: Why did the price jump so much after a small buy? A: Because the curve gets steeper as it sells. The first 100M tokens cost about 3.1 SOL, while the last 93M cost about 29 SOL. Late buys move the price far more than early ones. Q: Can I sell back to the bonding curve? A: Yes. Until a coin graduates, every sell goes back into the same curve and lowers the price along the same formula, minus the 1.25% fee. After graduation you sell on PumpSwap instead. ## Callouts and Callout Rewards URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/callouts/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun callouts are public calls on coins you hold; Callout Rewards pay discretionary daily USDC. What's published, what isn't, and the Oct 10 change. Answer: A pump.fun callout is a public call on a coin you hold, sent to your followers; Callout Rewards pay discretionary daily USDC for activity linked to your callouts. The terms (last updated 13 August 2026) say the scoring metric, pool size and method are confidential and "will not be disclosed", and rewards can be zero. From the 10 October 2026 payout, rewards track whether followers benefited rather than trading volume, and low-cap callouts earn less. Q: How are pump.fun Callout Rewards calculated? A: pump.fun doesn't say. Its Callout Terms (13 August 2026) describe a confidential internal "Activity Metric" that may include engagement and trading linked to your callouts, and state the metric, ranking method and pool size will not be disclosed. Reporting says that from the 10 October 2026 payout it rewards follower outcomes instead of volume. Q: How much has pump.fun paid in Callout Rewards? A: There is no official total. Crypto Briefing reported a budget of about $15 million set aside at launch, which is not the same as money paid, and Protos counted about $700,000 paid to the top 50 earners by late August 2026. Q: Can UK users earn Callout Rewards? A: No. The Callout Terms exclude UK persons and sanctioned persons, and any reward allocated to someone who is or becomes one is forfeited. ## The pump.fun class action: what the 31 August 2026 ruling decided URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/court-case/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Aguilar v. Baton Corp. (S.D.N.Y.): RICO claims survive against Baton and three founders; Solana defendants, securities and unjust-enrichment counts dismissed. Answer: On 31 August 2026, Judge Colleen McMahon of the Southern District of New York let the racketeering (RICO) claims of two plaintiffs proceed against pump.fun's operator Baton Corporation and founders Alon Cohen, Dylan Kerler and Noah Tweedale. She dismissed every claim against Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation and their executives, the Securities Act counts and the unjust-enrichment count. The pump.fun defendants filed their answer on 15 October 2026. No court has found anyone liable. Q: Did the court rule that pump.fun is a scam? A: No. On a motion to dismiss, the court assumes the complaint's allegations are true and asks only whether they state a legal claim. The 31 August 2026 ruling let the RICO claims go forward; it made no finding that anyone did anything wrong. Q: Are memecoins on pump.fun securities, according to the ruling? A: The court dismissed the Securities Act claims. For FRED and GRIFFAIN, the two tokens the plaintiffs bought, it held the complaint didn't plausibly plead a 'common enterprise', so no investment contract under Howey; claims on the other 18 tokens were dismissed for lack of class standing. It didn't decide whether any token is a security in general. Q: Is Solana still a defendant in the pump.fun lawsuit? A: No. The 31 August 2026 opinion dismissed all claims against Solana Labs, the Solana Foundation, Anatoly Yakovenko, Raj Gokal, Dan Albert, Austin Federa and Lily Liu. Jito Labs, the Jito Foundation and two Jito executives had been voluntarily dismissed earlier. ## pump.fun creator fees: how creator rewards work URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/creator-fees/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun pays a coin's creator 0.30% of every bonding-curve trade and 0.05% to 0.95% in PumpSwap by market cap. Rates, history and what it means for traders. Answer: A pump.fun coin's creator receives a creator fee on every trade: 0.30% on the bonding curve, and 0.05% to 0.95% in the coin's PumpSwap pool depending on market cap, highest from 420 SOL. It is paid in SOL or USDC, never in the coin itself, and applies to all coins trading since 13 May 2025. Q: How much do pump.fun creators earn per trade? A: 0.30% of every bonding-curve trade. After graduation, 0.30% below 420 SOL market cap, 0.95% from 420 to 1,470 SOL, then less at each higher tier, down to 0.05% at 98,240 SOL and above. Custom-pair coins pay a fixed 0.30% on the curve and 0.05% in PumpSwap. Q: Do pump.fun creator fees come out of my trade? A: Yes. The creator fee is part of the pool fee every trader pays, so it is included in the 1.25% curve fee and the PumpSwap tier fee. It is not an extra charge on top. Q: When did pump.fun start paying creators? A: Creator fees apply to all coins on the bonding curve or PumpSwap from 13 May 2025. They started at 0.05% of each trade and became tiered, up to 0.95%, on 1 September 2025. Q: Can a creator fee go to someone other than the creator? A: Yes. A creator can choose at launch to send it to holders (a Holder Rewards coin) or opt in to send it to a charity. After a community takeover, the fee can go to the new fee owner. ## pump.fun on EVM chains and Robinhood Chain URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/evm-and-robinhood-chain/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: The pump.fun app trades coins on Robinhood Chain, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum and HyperEVM for 0.10–0.15% plus the Platform Fee. Costs, dates and gaps. Answer: The pump.fun app can buy and sell coins on EVM chains, including Robinhood Chain, Base, BNB Chain and Ethereum, without manual bridging. Its Fees page (last updated 17 October 2026) charges 0.10% to 0.15% per EVM transaction, on top of the 0.40–0.45% Platform Fee and the bridge or swap provider's own fee; pump.fun pays the gas. The app's holder, dev-holding, sniper and bundler checks don't cover EVM coins yet, and your EVM wallet has its own private key to back up. Q: How much does pump.fun charge to trade on Robinhood Chain? A: Its Fees page says 0.10% to 0.15% of each EVM transaction (Robinhood Chain included), plus the 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code), plus the third-party bridge and swap provider's fees. The app shows the amounts before you confirm, and pump.fun pays the network gas. Q: Can I launch a coin on Robinhood Chain with pump.fun? A: We found no evidence of that. pump.fun's EVM support lets app users trade coins launched elsewhere, such as on Robinhood Chain launchpads; pump.fun's own launchpad is on Solana. Sites like pumpinhood.fun and pumprobin.fun are unaffiliated with pump.fun. Q: Why does a Robinhood Chain coin show no holders in the pump.fun app? A: The app's own legend says holder, dev-holding and top-10 data come from its Solana indexer, so coins on Robinhood, Base, BNB Chain and Ethereum show a dash, and its sniper and bundler figures track Solana launches only. ## pump.fun GO (go.fun bounties) URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/go/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: GO is pump.fun's bounty board: post a task, lock the reward in on-chain escrow, and pump.fun decides payouts. How it works, the terms, and the risks. Answer: GO is pump.fun's bounty board at pump.fun/go, launched on 4 June 2026: anyone with a connected X account that has enough followers can post a task and lock a crypto reward in on-chain escrow, and others submit work to claim it. Under the Go.fun Terms (last updated 13 May 2026), pump.fun has the final say on every payout and can withhold, reverse or reallocate rewards; unawarded rewards stay refundable to the depositor. pump.fun publishes no running totals. Q: Is GO the same as go.fun? A: Yes. pump.fun's legal page for the feature is titled the Go.fun Terms, and the product lives at pump.fun/go; go.pump.fun redirects there. The operators are the Pump Entities, the same group behind pump.fun. Q: Am I guaranteed to be paid if I complete a GO bounty? A: No. The Go.fun Terms say no user is guaranteed any transfer or award, and that Go.fun has final say over whether a submission is approved, delayed, denied, withheld or reversed. Q: What happens to a bounty reward nobody wins? A: The app says funds are locked in escrow when a bounty is published and that any reward not awarded stays refundable to the wallet that deposited it, for example if the bounty expires with no valid submission. ## What happens when a pump.fun coin graduates URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/graduation/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Graduation moves a pump.fun coin from its bonding curve to its own PumpSwap pool for 0.015 SOL. The fee you pay barely moves; who receives it changes a lot. Answer: A pump.fun coin graduates when its bonding curve completes: its liquidity moves to its own canonical pool on PumpSwap, pump.fun's exchange, for a fixed 0.015 SOL. Traders pay about the same (1.25% on the curve; 1.25% down to 0.30% in PumpSwap), but from 420 SOL market cap the creator's cut jumps from 0.30% to 0.95% of every trade. Q: What does it mean when a pump.fun coin graduates? A: Its bonding curve has completed, so the coin stops trading on the curve and moves to its own canonical pool on PumpSwap, pump.fun's exchange. From then on it trades like any pool token, and other DEX aggregators can route to it. Q: How much does graduation cost? A: 0.015 SOL per coin, whatever it is paired with. For a SOL-paired coin it comes out of the bonding curve, not from a trader. For other pairs pump.fun normally pays it, unless your trade is the one that triggers the migration. Q: Do trading fees go down after a pump.fun coin graduates? A: Only gradually. The PumpSwap fee starts at the same 1.25% as the curve below 420 SOL market cap, is 1.20% from 420 SOL, and falls step by step to 0.30% at 98,240 SOL and above. Q: Is a graduated pump.fun coin safe? A: No. Graduation only means enough was bought to complete the curve. Creators and early buyers can still sell, and many graduated coins fall sharply. Check holders and liquidity before buying. ## pump.fun history: a dated timeline URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/history/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Every major pump.fun milestone with a date and a source: launch in January 2024, PumpSwap, the PUMP sale, Padre, perps, the court ruling and fee changes. Answer: pump.fun launched on Solana in January 2024, run by Baton Corporation Ltd. Key dates since: PumpSwap replaced Raydium for graduated coins on 20 March 2025; the PUMP token sale opened on 12 July 2025; pump.fun bought the Padre terminal on 24 October 2025; perps via Hyperliquid arrived on 16 October 2026, alongside a 0.45% app Platform Fee from 17 October. A US court let racketeering claims against Baton and its founders proceed on 31 August 2026. Q: When did pump.fun launch? A: In January 2024, on Solana. The Block reported in April 2024 that it had reached $5 million in revenue after launching that January; it briefly added Blast, an Ethereum layer 2, in February 2024. Q: Who created pump.fun? A: Court filings and pump.fun's Terms name Baton Corporation Ltd, an English company, as the operator, and Alon Cohen, Dylan Kerler and Noah Tweedale as its founders. Q: When did pump.fun stop using Raydium? A: On 20 March 2025, when it launched its own exchange, PumpSwap. Graduated coins have moved to PumpSwap since then, and the old 6 SOL migration fee was dropped; graduation now costs 0.015 SOL. ## pump.fun holder rewards, explained URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/holder-rewards/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: On a Holder Rewards coin the creator fee goes to holders with at least $20 of the coin, paid in SOL or USDC. Answer: A Holder Rewards coin sends the creator fee to its holders instead of the creator. On SOL and USDC coins that is the normal tiered creator fee (0.30% on the curve, up to 0.95% in PumpSwap); custom-pair coins use a flat 0.01–3% set at launch. Wallets holding at least US$20 share it pro rata, net of distribution costs, and payouts aren't guaranteed. Q: How do pump.fun holder rewards work? A: A creator chooses at launch to send the coin's creator fee to holders. The fee builds up in a vault and is distributed from time to time, in SOL or USDC, to every wallet holding at least US$20 of the coin, in proportion to its holding. Q: How much do holder rewards pay? A: It depends on the coin's trading volume. Holders share the creator fee: 0.30% of curve volume and up to 0.95% of PumpSwap volume on SOL and USDC coins, or the flat 0.01–3% rate on custom-pair coins, minus distribution costs. There is no fixed yield. Q: Can a creator switch holder rewards off? A: The choice is made at launch and can't be changed afterwards, except through a community takeover (CTO). A custom-pair coin's flat rate is also fixed at launch. Q: Are pump.fun holder rewards guaranteed? A: No. pump.fun's terms say rewards are conditional, can be paused or withheld, and may never be paid. Distributions don't run while the vault is too small or the coin has more eligible holders than pump.fun's limit. ## pump.fun vs other launchpads URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/launchpads/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun against StonkFun, Raydium LaunchLab, bonk.fun, Meteora DBC, Bags and four.meme: live fee share, how each works, and which have faded. Answer: In DefiLlama's 30-day data read on November 4, 2026, pump.fun took 74.6% of all fees paid on Solana launchpads ($57.0M of $76.4M), about 10 times the runner-up, StonkFun (7.7%). Raydium LaunchLab, bonk.fun and Meteora's curve each had low single digits, and Believe is offline. Off Solana, BSC's Flap.sh is the largest rival. Q: What is the biggest alternative to pump.fun? A: On Solana, by fees, StonkFun, a launchpad for coins paired with tokenized stocks, was second in DefiLlama's 30-day data on 4 November 2026 with about 7.7%, against pump.fun's 74.6%. Across all chains, BSC's Flap.sh earned more ($24.3M), though its figure includes token taxes. Q: Is bonk.fun bigger than pump.fun? A: No. In the 30 days to 4 November 2026 DefiLlama counted about $2.6M of bonk.fun fees against pump.fun's $57.0M. Its real domain was hijacked to serve a wallet drainer on 11–12 March 2026. Q: Is Believe app still working? A: No. believe.app returned a 402 DEPLOYMENT_DISABLED error when we checked on 4 November 2026, and DefiLlama shows almost no fees for it in the last 30 days. ## pump.fun livestreams URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/livestreams/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: How pump.fun coin livestreams work, why they were shut down in November 2024 and reopened in April 2025, what the moderation policy bans, and the risks. Answer: pump.fun lets coin creators stream live video on their coin's page, under a Livestream Moderation Policy that bans violence, self-harm, sexual content, streamers under 18 and illegal activity. The feature launched around 28 May 2024, was switched off on 25 November 2024 after harmful streams, came back for 5% of users on 4 April 2025 and for everyone on 11 April 2025. pump.fun publishes no usage numbers; on 27 September 2026 its busiest stream had 70 viewers. Q: Why did pump.fun turn off livestreams? A: On 25 November 2024 pump.fun disabled livestreaming indefinitely after a wave of harmful and extreme streams made to promote coins, as reported by The Block. It returned in April 2025 with a written moderation policy. Q: Are pump.fun livestreams back? A: Yes. They reopened to 5% of users on 4 April 2025 and to all users on 11 April 2025. A Live tab remains in pump.fun's navigation as of October 2026. Q: Does pump.fun keep recordings of livestreams? A: Its moderation policy says pump.fun may keep copies of livestreamed videos for up to 30 days, and has no obligation to keep or provide them. ## Mayhem Mode, explained URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/mayhem/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Mayhem Mode is an opt-in pump.fun launch setting: an AI agent mints 1B extra tokens and trades the coin for 24 hours. How it works and the risks. Answer: Mayhem Mode is an opt-in setting chosen when a pump.fun coin is created: pump.fun's AI trading agent mints 1,000,000,000 extra tokens (2B total) and buys and sells the coin at random for its first 24 hours, then burns whatever it didn't sell. Per pump.fun's docs (last updated 12 November 2025), protocol fees from Mayhem coins go to a separate insurance fund and aren't shown on its revenue dashboard, and if the agent ends up a net seller some holders may not be able to sell back into the curve. Q: Can a creator turn on Mayhem Mode after launch? A: No. pump.fun's docs say Mayhem Mode can only be enabled during coin creation, never afterwards, and the agent never trades coins that didn't enable it. Q: How do I know if a coin uses Mayhem Mode? A: The coin's page in the pump.fun web app, the mobile app or Terminal shows it, per pump.fun's docs. Data feeds such as PumpPortal also flag it per coin. Q: Does Mayhem Mode make a coin more likely to go up? A: Nobody can say that. The agent buys and sells with equal probability in a random walk; pump.fun hopes the extra activity draws attention, but it publishes no outcome data, and if the agent net-sells it adds supply. ## pump.fun Perps URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/perps/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun perps route leveraged trades to Hyperliquid for a builder fee of up to 0.05% plus up to 0.25% per bridge transfer. Not for the US, Ontario or UK. Answer: pump.fun Perps lets app users trade leveraged perpetual futures that are executed on Hyperliquid, not by pump.fun. Its Fees page (last updated 17 October 2026, archived 31 October) charges a builder fee of up to 0.05% of each order plus up to 0.25% per transfer to or from Hyperliquid, with no Platform Fee; Hyperliquid's own fees come on top. Its Terms bar people in the United States and Ontario, and the UK is excluded from pump.fun entirely. Q: Can I trade pump.fun perps in the US? A: No. Section 30B.2 of pump.fun's Terms of Use makes anyone located in or resident of the United States, or the Province of Ontario, a Perps-Restricted Person. Spot trading of coins is not restricted for the US. We don't advise ways around geo restrictions. Q: Does pump.fun charge its 0.45% Platform Fee on perps? A: No. The Fees page says the Platform Fee does not apply to orders submitted through the Perpetuals Feature. You pay a builder fee of up to 0.05% per order and up to 0.25% per bridge transfer instead, plus Hyperliquid's own fees. Q: Is pump.fun the counterparty to my perps trade? A: No. Section 30B.11 of the Terms says no pump.fun entity acts as counterparty, makes a market, clears or settles, or holds margin for any perpetual contract. Orders go to Hyperliquid. ## The pump.fun Platform Fee, explained URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/platform-fee/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Since 17 October 2026 every trade in the pump.fun app or website pays a 0.45% Platform Fee, or 0.40% with a referral code. Answer: Since 17 October 2026, every trade placed in the pump.fun web app or mobile app pays a Platform Fee of 0.45%, or 0.40% if your wallet has a referral code applied. It comes on top of the 1.25% curve or PumpSwap pool fee. It isn't charged on Terminal, third-party apps, aggregators or perps. Q: What is the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: A fee of 0.45% of each trade placed in the pump.fun web app or mobile app, charged since 17 October 2026 on top of the pool fees. Wallets with a referral code applied pay 0.40%. Q: Does Terminal (Padre) charge the 0.45% Platform Fee? A: No. pump.fun's Fees page says the Platform Fee is not charged on trades placed through Terminal or any third-party interface. Those apps may charge their own fees instead. Q: How do I avoid the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: Trade outside the pump.fun app, for example on Jupiter, Phantom, Terminal or a trading bot. Most of those charge their own fee, often higher: Axiom, GMGN and most bots charge 1%, Phantom 0.85%, Jupiter 0.5% on new tokens in Ultra mode and 0% in Manual mode. Q: Where does the pump.fun Platform Fee go? A: Without a referral code, pump.fun keeps it all. With one, part is routed to your referrer: 37.5% since 1 November 2026. pump.fun says the rest funds Callout Rewards and in-app incentives. ## The PUMP token and its buybacks URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/pump-token/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: What pump.fun's PUMP token is, how the 50% revenue buyback and burn works, and why the published buyback totals ($463.7M, $482.3M, $499.8M) disagree. Answer: PUMP is pump.fun's own token, sold from 12 July 2025 at $0.004. pump.fun says half of its revenue buys PUMP on the open market and burns it. The published buyback totals disagree: DefiLlama shows $463.7M to 3 November 2026, pump.fun's own page showed $482.3M on 11 October 2026 while warning its dashboard has been wrong since custom pairs launched, and $499.8M is relayed by secondary sites. The burns themselves check out on-chain: PUMP's supply was 824.3B on 4 November 2026, about 175.7B below its original 1T. Q: What is the PUMP token used for? A: pump.fun hasn't published a use beyond the buyback-and-burn program: half of its revenue buys PUMP on the open market and burns it. Holding PUMP doesn't entitle you to pump.fun's revenue, a dividend or a vote that we could find. Q: How much PUMP has pump.fun bought back? A: DefiLlama counts $463.7M of buybacks to 3 November 2026. pump.fun's own page showed $482.29M (171.19B PUMP) on 11 October 2026, with a warning that its dashboard has misreported since custom pairs. On-chain, PUMP's supply was 824.3B on 4 November 2026, down from 1T. Q: When did the PUMP token launch? A: Its public sale opened on 12 July 2025 at $0.004 per token and sold out in about 12 minutes; The Block put the public sale at $600M. DefiLlama's buyback series begins on 15 July 2025. ## PumpSwap fees, explained URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/pumpswap/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: PumpSwap, pump.fun's exchange for graduated coins, charges 1.25% down to 0.30% by market cap in canonical pools and a flat 0.30% elsewhere. All tiers, sourced. Answer: PumpSwap is pump.fun's own exchange (an AMM) where graduated coins trade. A coin's canonical pool charges 1.25% below 420 SOL market cap, 1.20% from 420 SOL, then steps down to 0.30% at 98,240 SOL and above. Any other PumpSwap pool charges a flat 0.30% (pump.fun Fees page, last updated 17 October 2026). Q: What are PumpSwap fees? A: In a graduated coin's canonical pool: 1.25% below 420 SOL market cap, 1.20% from 420 to 1,470 SOL, stepping down to 0.30% at 98,240 SOL and above. Non-canonical pools charge a flat 0.30%. USDC-paired coins use USDC bands from 59,000 USDC to 20 million USDC. Q: Who gets PumpSwap fees? A: Three parties: the coin's creator (or its holders on a Holder Rewards coin), pump.fun as the protocol fee, and the pool itself as the LP fee. Above 420 SOL market cap the creator gets most of it, up to 0.95% of each trade. Q: Is PumpSwap cheaper than the bonding curve? A: Only for larger coins. Below 420 SOL market cap PumpSwap charges the same 1.25% as the curve. The fee then falls step by step, reaching 0.30% at 98,240 SOL and above. Q: Does the pump.fun Platform Fee apply on PumpSwap? A: Only if you trade in the pump.fun web or mobile app, where the 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code) is added to every trade. Trading the same pool through Jupiter or a terminal skips it but adds that app's fee. ## pump.fun's two referral programs, side by side URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/referral-programs/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun runs two referral programs: a share of the 0.45% Platform Fee, and a separate $50 deposit match. Who qualifies, what each pays, and the rules. Answer: pump.fun runs two separate referral programs. The Platform Fee share (since 16 October 2026) gives a referred wallet 0.40% instead of 0.45% on app trades and pays the referrer 37.5% of that fee since 1 November. The Referral Rewards deposit match (since 7 October 2026) pays a new mobile user and their referrer up to US$50 each, only after 5 trading days within 10. Q: How does the pump.fun referral program work? A: Your pump.fun username is your referral code. When someone applies it, their app and web trades pay a 0.40% Platform Fee instead of 0.45%, and 37.5% of that fee (since 1 November 2026) is routed to your on-chain Referral Vault as they trade. Q: How do I get the $50 pump.fun referral bonus? A: Only as a new user: apply a referrer's code in the pump.fun mobile app before your first crypto purchase through its card provider, then trade on 5 different days within 10. You and the referrer each get up to the deposit value, capped at $50, in installments, while the budget lasts. Q: Can businesses or websites join pump.fun's referral programs? A: Companies can earn the Platform Fee share under the Terms, provided they follow the referrer rules and disclose it. The deposit match is for natural persons only, and its terms ban posting codes on websites, forums or coupon sites. Q: Is the pump.fun 4x referral boost still on? A: No. pump.fun ended it on 1 November 2026. Referrers now earn 37.5% of the Platform Fee their referrals pay, down from the whole fee during the boost. ## What is pump.fun? URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/what-is-pump-fun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun lets anyone launch a Solana memecoin for free. How the curve, graduation and PumpSwap work, what it costs, who runs it, and the risks. Answer: pump.fun is a Solana app, run by Baton Corporation Ltd since January 2024, where anyone can create a memecoin for free. Each coin first trades on a fixed price curve and, once about 85 SOL has gone in, graduates to pump.fun's own exchange, PumpSwap. In the 30 days to 3 November 2026, DefiLlama counted $158.6M in fees across its products, 74.6% of all Solana launchpad fees. Most of its coins lose most of their value. Q: Who owns pump.fun? A: pump.fun is operated by Baton Corporation Ltd, an English company, according to its Terms of Use. Court filings name its founders as Alon Cohen, Dylan Kerler and Noah Tweedale. Q: Is pump.fun free to use? A: Creating a coin has no platform fee, only Solana network rent. Trading is not free: the bonding curve charges 1.25% per trade, and trades in pump.fun's web and mobile app add a 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code), per its Fees page last updated 17 October 2026. Q: Is pump.fun available in the US? A: Yes for launching and trading coins; its Terms list no US restriction for that. Its perps feature excludes the US and Ontario, and the whole platform excludes the UK and sanctioned countries. See our country guide for details. Q: What does it mean when a pump.fun coin graduates? A: It means the coin's bonding curve has sold its last token. The SOL it raised and the remaining 206.9M tokens move into a PumpSwap pool, where the coin keeps trading. pump.fun charges 0.015 SOL for this. ## Why "OFF100" and "FREE $50" referral codes mislead URL: https://pumpfyi.com/learn/why-fake-referral-codes-mislead/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Codes named OFF100, VIP50 or Cashback100 don't give you more. Every valid pump.fun code gives the same 0.40% fee. Answer: Every valid pump.fun referral code gives exactly the same benefit: a 0.40% Platform Fee instead of 0.45% on app and web trades. Names like "OFF100", "VIP50" or "Cashback100" are just usernames and give nothing extra. The "30%" such pages advertise is the referrer's commission, and "FREE $50" is a conditional deposit match whose terms ban posting codes on websites. Q: Is there a pump.fun referral code that gives more than 0.40%? A: No. pump.fun's Fees page sets one referred rate: 0.40% of the trade for any wallet with another user's code applied. No code name changes it. pump.fun can waive or cut fees for particular programs, but not through a code's name. Q: Do pump.fun referral codes expire? A: A code is a username, so it works while that account is eligible. pump.fun can refuse, remove or reassign codes at any time. Spam pages often vanish within weeks, but the codes they list may still be ordinary usernames. Q: Why do so many sites post pump.fun referral codes? A: Referrers earn a share of referred users' Platform Fee, 37.5% since 1 November 2026. Sites post their own codes to earn it. That is allowed with disclosure; inventing benefits is not. # Where to trade ## Where pump.fun coins actually trade URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Every app that trades pump.fun coins, with live 30-day fees and volume, the fee each charges you, and which ones add pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee. Answer: pump.fun coins trade in three kinds of place: pump.fun's own app and website, third-party terminals and Telegram bots (Axiom, GMGN, Terminal, Trojan and others), and wallets or aggregators such as Phantom and Jupiter. All of them hit the same on-chain bonding curve and PumpSwap pools, so everyone pays pump.fun's 1.25% curve fee; only the pump.fun app and web add the 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code), while other apps charge their own fee, usually 0.5–1%. By 30-day fees on Solana, the largest are Axiom ($23.4M), fomo ($7.90M), Phantom ($4.49M) (DefiLlama, November 4, 2026). Q: Where can I trade pump.fun coins besides pump.fun? A: On any Solana app that routes to pump.fun's bonding curve or PumpSwap pools: web terminals (Axiom, GMGN, Terminal, Photon), Telegram bots (Trojan, BONKbot, Bloom, Maestro, MevX, Banana Gun), the fomo app, the Phantom wallet, and Jupiter. A Jupiter quote on 4 Nov 2026 routed straight to a coin's bonding curve through a leg labelled "Pump.fun". Q: Is it cheaper to trade pump.fun coins outside the pump.fun app? A: Usually not. The app adds a 0.45% Platform Fee, but most terminals and bots charge 1%, so a $1,000 bonding-curve buy costs $17.00 in the app against $22.50 on Axiom. Jupiter's Manual mode adds no fee of its own ($12.50 on the same buy) and is the cheapest route if you already have a Solana wallet and set slippage yourself. Q: Does the pump.fun Platform Fee apply on Axiom or Terminal? A: No. pump.fun's Fees page says the Platform Fee is not charged on trades placed through Terminal or any third-party interface. Those apps charge their own fee instead, and pump.fun's on-chain curve and pool fees still apply everywhere. Q: Does a pump.fun referral code work on Axiom or GMGN? A: No. A pump.fun referral code only changes the Platform Fee on pump.fun app and web trades (0.45% to 0.40%). Terminals and bots run their own referral programs with their own links. Q: Is BullX still working? A: No. BullX suspended trading in its app from 1 June 2026; only wallet functions and withdrawals remain, and bullx.io now redirects to its wallet manager. ## Trading pump.fun coins on Axiom URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/axiom/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Axiom charges 1% per trade (0.9% via a referral link) and no pump.fun Platform Fee; the 1.25% curve fee still applies. How it works, custody, KYC and risks. Answer: Axiom is a web trading terminal that charges 1% per trade, or 10% less (0.9%) if you sign up through a referral link, with cashback tiers lowering the net fee to 0.95–0.75% as your volume grows. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply on Axiom, but pump.fun's 1.25% bonding-curve fee does, so a $1,000 curve buy costs about $22.50 in fees against $17.00 in the pump.fun app (Axiom docs, checked 9 Oct 2026). Q: What are Axiom's fees on pump.fun coins? A: 1% of each buy and sell at the base rate, plus pump.fun's own on-chain fee (1.25% on the bonding curve) and Solana network fees. Axiom's cashback tiers bring its net fee to 0.95% at the default Wood tier and down to 0.75% at Champion. Q: Is there an Axiom referral code discount? A: Yes. Axiom's docs say users who sign up through a referral link get 10% off trading fees. The referrer earns 30% of Axiom's net fee on their direct referrals, 3% on level 2 and 2% on level 3. Q: Does Axiom charge the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: No. pump.fun's Platform Fee applies only to trades in the pump.fun web and mobile apps. Axiom charges its own 1% instead, and pump.fun's on-chain curve and pool fees still apply. Q: Is axiompro.app the real Axiom? A: No. Axiom's official site is axiom.trade. Lookalike sites such as axiompro.app use the Axiom name, push their own referral codes and promise discounts Axiom does not document. Type axiom.trade yourself. Q: Does Axiom need KYC? A: Axiom's docs describe no KYC step for trading, and its FAQ says you can buy up to $500 of crypto a week without KYC through its Coinbase partnership. ## Trading pump.fun coins with Banana Gun URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/banana-gun/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Banana Gun charges 0.5% on manual trades and 1% on snipes, with cashback in BANANA, and no pump.fun Platform Fee. Telegram bot, Banana Pro, custody and risks. Answer: Banana Gun charges 0.5% per successful manual trade and 1% per snipe, with no subscription, and pays 15–30% of fees back as cashback in its BANANA token. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply, but its 1.25% curve fee does, so a $1,000 manual bonding-curve buy costs $17.50 in fees, about the same as the pump.fun app (Banana Gun site, checked 29 Oct 2026). Q: What are Banana Gun's fees? A: 0.5% on each successful manual buy and sell, 1% on successful snipes, no subscription. Cashback of 15% to 30% of fees, by lifetime volume, is paid in the BANANA token on Ethereum. Gas and MEV tips are extra. Q: Can I export my Banana Gun private key? A: Only once: the bot shows the key when it creates the wallet and you cannot export it from the bot later. You can also import an existing wallet by private key. Q: Was Banana Gun hacked? A: In September 2024 an exploit in its Telegram message handling drained about $3M from user wallets; Banana Gun patched it and promised to refund affected users. ## Trading pump.fun coins with Bloom URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/bloom/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Bloom charges 1% per buy and sell, 0.9% via a referral link, and no pump.fun Platform Fee. Telegram bot, web manager and Chrome extension. Answer: Bloom charges 1% per buy and sell, or 0.9% if you join through a referral link (its docs also describe this as 10% cashback), plus network and priority fees. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply, but its 1.25% bonding-curve fee does, so a $1,000 curve buy costs $22.50 in fees ($21.50 via a referral). Bloom's terms prohibit use from the United States (Bloom docs, checked 3 Nov 2026). Q: What are Bloom bot's fees? A: 1% on every buy and sell, with no subscription. Users who join through a referral link pay 0.9%, which Bloom's docs also describe as 10% cashback claimable from the Referral Menu. Network and priority fees are extra. Q: Can I use Bloom in the US? A: No. Bloom's terms list the United States as a prohibited jurisdiction, along with 18 others, and forbid using a VPN to get around that. Q: Was Bloom hacked? A: In late October 2026 about 9,408 SOL was drained from 48 Bloom wallets; reports say affected users were refunded within hours. ## Trading pump.fun coins with BONKbot URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/bonkbot/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: BONKbot charges 1% per swap with volume cashback on its Telemetry web app, and no pump.fun Platform Fee. Telegram bot, custody model, limits and risks. Answer: BONKbot charges 1% on each successful swap; Telemetry, its web terminal, returns 5–25% of fees as cashback by volume tier. Its docs describe no discount for referred users. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply, but the 1.25% bonding-curve fee does, so a $1,000 curve buy costs $22.50 in fees (BONKbot docs, checked 29 Oct 2026). Q: What fee does BONKbot charge? A: 1% on each successful swap; setting up is free. On Telemetry, BONKbot's web terminal, volume tiers return 5% to 25% of fees as cashback, bringing the effective rate to 0.95–0.75%. Q: Does a BONKbot referral give me a discount? A: BONKbot's docs describe no discount for the referred user. Referrers on the Telegram bot get 30% of referred fees in month one, 20% in month two and 10% after that. Q: Is BONKbot safe? A: Its terms say it has no custody of your assets, and a remote signer only approves transactions matching templates you approved; 2FA is available. In March 2024 about $523K was drained from 302 wallets linked by users to BONKbot, which BONKbot attributed to keys exported and used elsewhere. ## Trading pump.fun coins on fomo URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/fomo/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: fomo charges 0.50% (0.45% via referral) and pays your Solana gas; small Solana orders pay a flat $0.95. No pump.fun Platform Fee. Custody, KYC and risks. Answer: fomo charges 0.50% per trade, or 0.45% if you sign up with a referral code, and pays your Solana network fees and token rent for you. On Solana, orders of $47.50–190 pay a flat $0.95 instead, and orders of $5–47.50 pay 2%. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply, so a $1,000 bonding-curve buy costs $17.50 in fees, about the same as the pump.fun app (fomo help center, read 4 Nov 2026). Q: How much does fomo charge per trade? A: 0.50% on every network, or 0.45% if you signed up with a referral code. On Solana the fee depends on order size: a flat 0.10 USDC under 5 USDC, 2% from 5 to 47.50, a flat 0.95 from 47.50 to 190, and 0.50% from 190 USDC up. fomo pays the Solana network fee.

A: GMGN's docs describe a 10–30% rebate for the referrer, rising with referred volume, and no discount for the person who signs up.

A: Not for wallets GMGN generates: its docs say private keys cannot be exported from any GMGN wallet, including imported ones. Withdrawals go through the GMGN website after you set up Google Authenticator and a whitelisted address. On the web you can instead connect an external wallet. Q: Is GMGN safe?

Jupiter's default Ultra mode charges 0.5% on coins under 24 hours old and 0.1% after that; its Manual mode adds no Jupiter fee. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply, so a $1,000 curve buy costs $17.50 in Ultra or $12.50 in Manual mode, plus network fees. Jupiter's terms exclude US wallets. Q: Can Jupiter buy pump.fun coins before they graduate? A: Yes. On 4 Nov 2026 Jupiter's swap API quoted SOL into two live bonding-curve coins, each through a single route leg labelled "Pump.fun" that pointed at the coin's bonding-curve account.

Q: Can I add a Phantom referral code later? A: No. Phantom's help center says a referral code must be applied during sign-up in the mobile app and can't be added later. The referred user gets 10% of their own eligible trading fees back for 3 months. Q: Can I buy pump.fun coins before they graduate in Phantom? A: Yes. Phantom's swaps route through Solana liquidity that includes pump.fun bonding curves; Jupiter, which many Solana wallets use, quoted a bonding-curve coin on 4 Nov 2026 through a route leg labelled "Pump.fun". ## Trading pump.fun coins on Photon URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/photon/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Photon is a Solana web terminal whose fee and referral terms we could not verify from an official source.

DefiLlama shows it still active, with monthly revenue down about 92% between September 2025 and September 2026. Q: What fee does Photon charge? A: We could not read Photon's fee schedule from an official source: its site blocks automated access and publishes no docs we could reach. DefiLlama's 30-day fees divided by its Solana volume come to about 1.1%, which is a measurement, not a quote. Check the fee shown before you confirm. Q: Is Photon still working? A: Yes. DefiLlama still records Photon fees on Solana in November 2026, though monthly revenue fell from $4.35M in September 2025 to $0.35M in September 2026. We found no official or press evidence that Photon merged into another terminal. Q: Does Photon charge the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: No. The Platform Fee applies only in pump.fun's own web and mobile apps. pump.fun's on-chain curve and pool fees apply on Photon as everywhere. ## Trading pump.fun coins in the pump.fun app URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/pump-fun-app/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: The pump.fun app and website add a 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code) on top of the 1.25% curve fee. How to trade there, custody, KYC and risks. Answer: Trading in the pump.fun web or mobile app costs the on-chain fees every venue pays (1.25% on the bonding curve, then 1.25% falling to 0.30% in the PumpSwap pool) plus pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee, or 0.40% with any referral code, charged since 17 Oct 2026. A $1,000 bonding-curve buy costs $17.00 in fees, or $16.50 with a code; Solana network fees come on top. Q: How much does pump.fun charge per trade? A: In the pump.fun app or website: a 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code) plus the on-chain fee, which is 1.25% on the bonding curve and 1.25% down to 0.30% in the PumpSwap pool after graduation. So a bonding-curve trade costs 1.70%, or 1.65% with a code. Q: Do I pay the Platform Fee when I sell? A: Yes. pump.fun's Fees page says every trade placed in the web or mobile app carries it, buys and sells alike, including limit orders when they execute and the first buy when you create a coin. Q: Does pump.fun require KYC to trade? A: pump.fun's terms describe no identity check for trading; you sign in with a wallet, email or social login. Buying SOL with a card goes through a payment provider that runs its own checks. Q: Can I use the pump.fun app in the US or UK? A: The US is allowed for the app; only pump.fun's perpetuals feature excludes US persons and Ontario. The UK is a Prohibited Jurisdiction in pump.fun's terms, along with sanctioned countries and regions. ## Trading pump.fun coins on Terminal (formerly Padre) URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/terminal/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Terminal is pump.fun's own pro trading terminal, formerly Padre. No 0.45% Platform Fee, but its own fee is unpublished. How it works, custody and risks. Answer: Terminal is pump.fun's own desktop trading terminal, formerly Padre, linked as "Terminal" in pump.fun's navigation and served at trade.padre.gg. pump.fun's Fees page says its 0.45% Platform Fee is not charged on Terminal; you still pay the on-chain fees (1.25% on the bonding curve). Terminal's own trading fee is not published on its site, so check the fee line before you confirm. Q: Is Terminal the same as Padre? A: Yes. pump.fun announced its acquisition of Padre on 24 Oct 2025 and renamed it Terminal. pump.fun's website menu links "Terminal" to trade.padre.gg, whose page title reads "Terminal", while the marketing site padre.gg still says "Padre". Q: Does Terminal charge the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: No. pump.fun's Fees page (last updated 17 Oct 2026) says the Platform Fee is not charged on trades placed through Terminal or any third-party interface. The on-chain curve and pool fees still apply. Q: What fee does Terminal charge? A: Terminal does not publish its trading fee on padre.gg or trade.padre.gg as of 4 Nov 2026. DefiLlama measured $3.9M of fees on $334M of Solana volume in the 30 days to 4 Nov, about 1.2% of volume. That is a measurement, not a published rate. Q: What happened to the PADRE token? A: After the acquisition, pump.fun said PADRE would have no utility on the platform. Holders at the 24 Oct 2025 snapshot could claim PUMP tokens until 30 Dec 2025. ## Trading pump.fun coins with Trojan URL: https://pumpfyi.com/trade/trojan/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Trojan charges 1% per trade, 10% off via a referral, with rank cashback on top. No pump.fun Platform Fee. Telegram bot and web terminal; not for US or EU users. Answer: Trojan charges 1% per successful trade, 10% less (0.9%) with a referral, and returns 10–35% of fees as SOL cashback depending on your Arena rank. pump.fun's 0.45% Platform Fee does not apply; its 1.25% bonding-curve fee does, so a $1,000 curve buy costs $22.50 in fees, or $21.50 with a referral. Trojan's terms restrict users in the United States and the European Union (Trojan docs, checked 30 Oct 2026). Q: What are Trojan bot's fees? A: 1% per successful trade. A referral cuts it by 10%, and Arena rank cashback returns a further 10–35% of fees in SOL. Opening a token account costs about 0.002 SOL of rent, refunded after you sell. Q: Can I use Trojan in the US or Europe? A: Trojan's Terms of Use, from the ChainSpark Foundation under Hong Kong law, restrict residents, citizens and people located in the United States and the European Union. Q: How much does a Trojan referral pay? A: Trojan's docs list total revenue share across five referral layers of 27.5% to 47.5%, depending on the referrer's Honors level. The referred user gets 10% off trading fees. # Comparisons ## The best way to trade pump.fun coins, ranked by cost and custody URL: https://pumpfyi.com/compare/best-way-to-trade-pump-fun-coins/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: 14 ways to buy pump.fun coins, ranked by the documented cost of a $1,000 buy, then custody and security record. Published criteria; referral pay plays no part. Answer: By documented cost, the cheapest ways to buy a pump.fun coin on its bonding curve are the pump.fun app ($17.00 in fees on a $1,000 buy, $16.50 with a referral code), then Jupiter, fomo and Banana Gun manual trades (each $17.50). Most terminals and Telegram bots, including Axiom, GMGN and Trojan, cost $22.50 because they charge 1%. Jupiter's Manual mode, a non-default setting that adds no Jupiter fee, is cheapest of all at $12.50 if you are comfortable setting slippage (venue docs and pump.fun Fees page, checked by 4 Nov 2026). Q: What is the cheapest way to buy pump.fun coins? A: Jupiter in Manual mode with your own Solana wallet: it adds no Jupiter fee, so you pay only pump.fun's 1.25% curve fee and network fees, $12.50 on a $1,000 buy. At default settings, the pump.fun app is cheapest at $17.00 ($16.50 with a referral code). Q: What is the best pump.fun trading bot? A: By cost, Banana Gun's 0.5% manual-trade fee is the lowest among Telegram bots; most others (Trojan, BONKbot, Bloom, Maestro) charge 1%. By custody, Trojan, Bloom and BONKbot say in their terms that they do not hold your keys, while Maestro's terms say it keeps them. Q: Are terminals worth the extra fee? A: Only if you use what they sell: fast new-coin boards, filters, hotkeys and wallet tracking. On a $1,000 buy, a 1% terminal costs about $5.50 more than the pump.fun app, and the coin itself is no safer. Q: Do you rank apps by how much they pay you? A: No. The order comes from documented costs, custody and security record, computed the same way for every app. Jupiter, ranked near the top, has no referral program and pays us nothing. ## BullX alternatives: where to trade now that BullX has stopped URL: https://pumpfyi.com/compare/bullx-alternatives/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: BullX suspended trading on 1 June 2026. The terminals and bots that replace it, with live 30-day fees, documented costs, custody and how to withdraw from BullX. Answer: BullX suspended trading in its app from 1 June 2026; wallet functions and withdrawals still work, and bullx.io now redirects to its wallet manager. The closest replacements are other web terminals that charge the same 1% BullX did: Axiom, by far the largest by 30-day fees on Solana, GMGN, Terminal and Photon. If you mainly want lower fees, fomo (0.50%) and the pump.fun app (0.45% Platform Fee) cost less per trade. Q: Is BullX shut down? A: BullX suspended trading in its current app from 1 June 2026 00:00 UTC to work on a next version, with no relaunch date. Wallet functions, including withdrawals, remain available, and bullx.io redirects to the wallet manager. Q: How do I get my money out of BullX? A: Use BullX's wallet manager to withdraw to a wallet you control, such as Phantom or Solflare. BullX's docs also let you download a wallet's private key and import it into Phantom or Solflare, but only once, so store it safely. Q: What happened to the BullX airdrop? A: The points-based $BULLX airdrop, tied to BullX NEO's public launch, had not launched when trading was suspended. Treat any site or account offering a BullX airdrop claim as a scam. Q: What is the best BullX alternative? A: For the same kind of web terminal at the same 1% fee, Axiom is the largest by 30-day fees on Solana and GMGN adds copy trading. If cost matters more than terminal tools, fomo (0.50%) or the pump.fun app (0.45% Platform Fee) are cheaper per trade. ## pump.fun app vs trading terminals: cost, who gets paid, features URL: https://pumpfyi.com/compare/pump-fun-app-vs-terminals/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: The pump.fun app charges a 0.45% Platform Fee; Axiom, GMGN and most terminals charge 1% instead. Cost per trade, who gets paid and what features you get. Answer: On a pump.fun coin, the pump.fun app charges a 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code) while most terminals such as Axiom and GMGN charge 1% and skip the Platform Fee; everyone also pays pump.fun's 1.25% curve fee. So a $1,000 bonding-curve buy costs $17.00 in the app and $22.50 on Axiom or GMGN. On large graduated coins the gap widens: $7.50 against $13.00. Terminals cost more per trade and sell speed and tools (pump.fun Fees page, 17 Oct 2026; venue docs). Q: Is it cheaper to trade pump.fun coins on Axiom or on pump.fun? A: On pump.fun. The app's Platform Fee is 0.45% (0.40% with a referral code) against Axiom's 1% (0.9% via a referral link). Both pay pump.fun's on-chain fee, so a $1,000 bonding-curve buy costs $17.00 on pump.fun and $22.50 on Axiom at base rates. Q: Why do terminals not charge the pump.fun Platform Fee? A: pump.fun's Platform Fee is an app fee, collected only on trades placed in its own web and mobile apps. Its Fees page says it is not charged on Terminal or any third-party interface, which charge their own fees instead. Q: Who gets paid when I trade on Axiom? A: Axiom keeps its 1% fee, minus any cashback and the share it pays your referrer (30% of its net fee at level one). pump.fun's on-chain fee still goes to the coin's creator (0.30%) and pump.fun's protocol (0.95%) on the bonding curve. Q: Does my pump.fun referral code work on terminals? A: No. A pump.fun code only discounts the Platform Fee, which terminals don't charge. Each terminal has its own referral program with its own link. # Coin checks ## Check a pump.fun coin before you buy URL: https://pumpfyi.com/coin/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Free, unofficial pump.fun coin checker: bonding-curve progress, mint and freeze authority, sell route, holders, dev bag, liquidity and trade cost. Answer: Paste the coin's contract address (or its pump.fun or DexScreener link) into the checker below. It reads the chain and shows whether the coin is still on the bonding curve (it graduates once its 793.1 million curve tokens sell, about 85 SOL), whether anyone can mint or freeze it, whether a $100 sell routes, who holds the supply, and what a trade costs. A low risk score does not make a coin safe: most pump.fun coins lose most of their value. Q: How do I check if a pump.fun coin is a rug? A: Get the contract address from the creator's own pump.fun page or posts, not from a ticker search, and paste it into the checker above. Red flags are a live mint or freeze authority, no sell route, one wallet or the dev holding a large share, and a pool whose liquidity can be pulled. A clean result is not a guarantee: dev dumps and bundled buys are the most common way pump.fun coins collapse. Q: What happens when a pump.fun coin graduates? A: When the last of its 793.1 million bonding-curve tokens is bought (about 85 SOL for a SOL-paired coin), the coin migrates to its canonical PumpSwap pool and pump.fun charges a 0.015 SOL graduation fee. On the graduated coins we checked on 2026-11-04, 100% of the pool's LP tokens were burned, so that liquidity cannot be pulled; the checker reads this on-chain for every coin. Q: Does a DexScreener boost or paid profile mean a coin is legit? A: No. Boosts, paid token profiles and ads are placements anyone can buy on DexScreener. The checker labels them as paid and never scores them. Q: Do I need to connect a wallet to use this checker? A: No. The checker only reads public data: the Solana blockchain, DexScreener and Jupiter. It never asks for a wallet, a signature or a seed phrase. Any "checker" that does is a scam. Q: Why does a brand-new coin always score at least 50? A: On-chain checks cannot see a coordinated dump, a bundled launch or a dev who has spread tokens across fresh wallets. Most rugs happen in the first hours, so a coin under a day old is scored at least 50 (Elevated risk) and one under a week old at least 36, however clean the other checks look. # Data and tools ## pump.fun data URL: https://pumpfyi.com/data/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Free, dated pump.fun datasets: daily launches and graduations since 2026-11-04, fees, PUMP buybacks, launchpad share and trading apps. CSV/JSON, CC BY 4.0. Answer: PumpFYI publishes 5 free, dated pump.fun datasets, including a daily count of pump.fun launches and graduations that we keep ourselves (series since 2026-11-04). In the latest snapshot, pump.fun's products charged $159M of fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-03 and pump.fun held 74.6% of Solana launchpad fees (DefiLlama, 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC). Every dataset downloads as CSV or JSON under CC BY 4.0. ## PUMP buybacks: DefiLlama vs pump.fun's own figure URL: https://pumpfyi.com/data/buybacks/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: DefiLlama counts $464M of PUMP buybacks from July 15, 2025 to November 3, 2026, $26.2M of it in the last 30 days (46% of pump.fun's revenue). Answer: DefiLlama counts $464M of PUMP buybacks from July 15, 2025 to November 3, 2026, $26.2M of it in the last 30 days (46% of pump.fun's revenue). pump.fun's own PUMP page claimed $482M as of October 10, 2026, $38.0M more than DefiLlama's $444M for the same date. What this means: pump.fun says half of its revenue buys PUMP on the open market and burns it. The two public totals disagree by 8.6% on the same date, and pump.fun's page itself warns that "since the introduction of the custom pairs, the fee dashboard does not correctly reflect the revenue and buyback amount". Neither number is an on-chain audit of the burn addresses, so quote them with their source and date. Buybacks do not guarantee anything about PUMP's price. Data as of 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC Source: DefiLlama holders revenue; pump.fun PUMP page (archived) CSVJSON CC BY 4.0 Q: How much PUMP has pump.fun bought back? A: $464M from 2025-07-15 to 2026-11-03, per DefiLlama. pump.fun's own PUMP page showed $482M and 171.19B PUMP burned as of October 10, 2026, and says its dashboard has not been accurate since custom pairs launched. Q: Why do the PUMP buyback totals disagree? A: They count from different sources and dates, and pump.fun says its own dashboard has been wrong since custom pairs. On the same date (2026-10-10) pump.fun's page was $38.0M (8.6%) above DefiLlama. Always quote a buyback total with its source and date. Q: What share of revenue goes to buybacks? A: pump.fun says half. DefiLlama's figures put buybacks at 46% of revenue over the last 30 days. ## pump.fun fees and revenue by month URL: https://pumpfyi.com/data/fees/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun's products (the bonding curve, PumpSwap, Terminal and the mobile app) charged $159M in fees in the 30 days to November 3, 2026, 60% of it on PumpSwap. Answer: pump.fun's products (the bonding curve, PumpSwap, Terminal and the mobile app) charged $159M in fees in the 30 days to November 3, 2026, 60% of it on PumpSwap, and kept $57.0M as revenue (DefiLlama). October 2026 was the record month at $175M. What this means: Fees are everything traders paid; revenue is the part pump.fun keeps after creator and liquidity-provider shares. Over the last 30 days that was 36% of fees, and pump.fun spent $26.2M of it buying back its PUMP token (see buybacks). Most fees now come from PumpSwap, where graduated coins trade, because a coin pays fees there for as long as it trades, while the bonding curve only sees it until it graduates. Data as of 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC Source: DefiLlama /summary/fees/pump CSVJSON CC BY 4.0 Q: How much money does pump.fun make? A: DefiLlama counts $57.0M of revenue for pump.fun's products in the 30 days to 2026-11-03, out of $159M in fees traders paid; over the last 12 months fees came to $1.23B. October 2026 was the record month at $175M of fees. Q: What is the difference between fees and revenue? A: Fees are everything traders paid on a trade, including the coin creator's share and the liquidity providers' share in PumpSwap pools. Revenue is the part pump.fun keeps. Half of revenue is spent buying back PUMP, according to pump.fun. Q: How much does PumpSwap earn compared with the bonding curve? A: Bonding curve (pump.fun): $57.0M of fees (36%); PumpSwap (graduated coins): $95.8M of fees (60%); Terminal (formerly Padre): $3.95M of fees (2%); pump.fun mobile app: $1.89M of fees (1%) over the 30 days to 2026-11-03 (DefiLlama). ## pump.fun graduation rate: daily launches and graduations URL: https://pumpfyi.com/data/graduation/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: PumpFYI's daily count of pump.fun launches and graduations, collecting since 2026-11-04; first graduation rate expected 2026-11-09. Method and live counts. Answer: Collecting since 2026-11-04 19:08 UTC; first full-day figures on 2026-11-06, and the first graduation rate (the share of a day's launches that graduate within 24 hours) once 3 full days of launches have had 24 hours each, expected 2026-11-09. So far PumpFYI has counted 402 new pump.fun coins and 18 graduations to PumpSwap in 25 minutes of observation, to 2026-11-04 19:37 UTC. What this means: A coin "graduates" when buyers fill its bonding curve, at which point it moves to its own PumpSwap pool (pump.fun charges 0.015 SOL for this). Most coins never get there: published estimates run from about 0.6% to 3.1%, depending on the month and on whether bot-driven launches are removed. Our headline follows each day's launches for 24 hours and counts how many graduate; coins we did not see launch are left out. Graduating is not success: a graduated coin can still lose most of its value, which is why we also track whether graduates still trade 30 days later (the first full-day cohort reaches 30 days on 2026-12-05). Data as of 2026-11-04 19:37 UTC Source: PumpFYI count of PumpPortal's public event stream, checked against the chain CSVJSON CC BY 4.0 Q: What is the pump.fun graduation rate? A: Published studies put the share of pump.fun coins that graduate at roughly 0.6% to 3.1%, depending on the month and on whether bot-driven launches are removed. PumpFYI's own daily figure starts once three full days of launches have been followed for 24 hours, expected 2026-11-09. Q: How many coins are launched on pump.fun per day? A: PumpFYI's first full-day count publishes on 2026-11-06. Earlier studies counted about 25,000 a day in April 2026 and about 33,000 a day in August 2026. Q: What happens when a pump.fun coin graduates? A: Its bonding curve fills, trading on the curve stops, and the coin moves to its own PumpSwap pool, where the fee steps down as its market cap grows. pump.fun charges a 0.015 SOL graduation fee. See how graduation works. Q: Does graduating mean a coin is safe or successful? A: No. Graduation only means buyers filled the curve; the coin can still be dumped by its creator or early holders and lose most of its value. Check a coin before you buy it, and read how to spot a rug. ## Memecoin launchpads by fees: pump.fun vs every rival URL: https://pumpfyi.com/data/launchpads/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun took 74.6% of Solana launchpad fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC: $57.0M of $76.4M, ahead of StonkFun at 7.7%. Answer: pump.fun took 74.6% of Solana launchpad fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC: $57.0M of $76.4M, ahead of StonkFun at 7.7%. Across every chain DefiLlama tracks, its share was 48.0%, with Flap sh (BSC, X Layer) the largest rival at $24.3M. What this means: Fees are what traders paid each launchpad, so they track real trading rather than coin counts. On Solana pump.fun is still the default place to launch a memecoin, with 75% of launchpad fees; the picture changes off Solana, where launchpads on BSC and Robinhood Chain have their own leaders. These figures cover the bonding-curve stage only: PumpSwap, where graduated pump.fun coins trade, is counted separately on the fees page. Data as of 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC Source: DefiLlama fees (category Launchpad) CSVJSON CC BY 4.0 Q: What is pump.fun's market share among launchpads? A: 74.6% of Solana launchpad fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-04, and 48.0% across every chain DefiLlama tracks ($57.0M of $119M). Q: What are the main alternatives to pump.fun? A: On Solana, by 30-day fees: StonkFun ($5.85M), OTC ($3.42M), LaunchLab ($3.08M), BONK.fun Launchpad ($2.60M). Off Solana the largest is Flap sh. Fees measure trading, not how many coins launch. Q: Is bonk.fun bigger than pump.fun? A: No. bonk.fun's launchpad took $2.60M of fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-04, 3.4% of Solana launchpad fees, against $57.0M for pump.fun. ## Where pump.fun coins trade: fees and volume by app URL: https://pumpfyi.com/data/venues/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Axiom earned the most of the apps used to trade pump.fun coins: $23.4M of Solana fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC on $1.72B of volume. Answer: Axiom earned the most of the apps used to trade pump.fun coins: $23.4M of Solana fees in the 30 days to 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC on $1.72B of volume, ahead of fomo ($7.90M) and Phantom ($4.49M). pump.fun's own mobile app took $1.89M on $421M (DefiLlama). What this means: Most pump.fun coin trading does not happen on pump.fun's own website or app. Third-party terminals and bots add their own fee on top of the on-chain fees every trade pays: Axiom's fees came to 1.36% of its Solana volume, against 0.45% for pump.fun's app. These apps trade every Solana token, not only pump.fun coins, and DefiLlama does not split their volume by launchpad. For what one trade costs end to end, use the fee calculator. Data as of 2026-11-04 22:01 UTC Source: DefiLlama fees and volume CSVJSON CC BY 4.0 Q: Where do most people trade pump.fun coins? A: Mostly outside pump.fun's own app. In the 30 days to 2026-11-04, Axiom alone handled $1.72B of Solana volume against $421M in pump.fun's mobile app and $334M in Terminal (DefiLlama). These apps trade every Solana token, so not all of it is pump.fun coins. Q: Is it cheaper to trade pump.fun coins in a third-party app? A: Every route pays the on-chain bonding-curve or PumpSwap fee. pump.fun's own app and website add a 0.45% Platform Fee (0.40% with a referral code); terminals and bots such as Axiom and GMGN add their own fee instead, often about 1%. Compare a trade end to end with the fee calculator. # News ## pump.fun news URL: https://pumpfyi.com/news/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: Verified pump.fun news: fee and Terms changes, referral programs, perps, the court case and DefiLlama records, each checked against a primary source.

Baton Corp. Only RICO claims against pump.fun's operator and three founders survived the August ruling. Answer: An answer to the amended complaint was filed on 15 October 2026 in Aguilar v. Baton Corp. (S.D.N.Y. 1:25-cv-00880), the deadline the court set for pump.fun's operator Baton Corp. and founders Alon Cohen, Dylan Kerler and Noah Tweedale. The court's 31 August 2026 ruling had dismissed every claim against the Solana defendants and all securities and unjust-enrichment counts, leaving only two RICO counts brought by two plaintiffs. ## pump.fun app adds Hyperliquid perps, closed to US, Ontario URL: https://pumpfyi.com/news/2026-10-16-pump-fun-app-adds-hyperliquid-perps/ Updated: 2026-11-04 Summary: pump.fun's app now sends leveraged perps orders to Hyperliquid. It went live around 16 October and was announced on 28 October with 300+ markets.
