How to launch a coin on pump.fun
To launch a coin on pump.fun, fund a Solana wallet, add a name, ticker and picture, choose a dev buy and create it. The coin trades on a bonding curve straight away, with no liquidity to add, and moves to PumpSwap if the curve sells out.
How pump.fun works
Every coin starts on the same curve. Supply is 1 billion coins, and 793.1 million of them are sold on the curve. The price follows a constant-product formula with virtual reserves of 30 SOL and 1.073 billion coins, so each buy raises the price and each sell lowers it. Unison read these values from pump.fun’s Global account on 8 November 2026.
When the last curve coin sells, after about 85 SOL has gone in from everyone who bought, the coin moves to PumpSwap, pump.fun’s own pool. Nobody has to add liquidity at any point.
By hand, step by step
- Fund a Solana wallet with SOL. Creating a coin has no platform fee: you pay network fees and account rent (CoinPaprika, 19 October 2026).
- On pump.fun, connect the wallet and enter the name, ticker, picture and links.
- Choose a dev buy. It is optional. A bigger buy gets you more of the supply and leaves a higher price for the next buyer. The bonding calculator shows both for any amount.
- Sign. The coin is on its curve from that moment, and anyone can trade it.
- To buy from more wallets by hand, fund each one and buy from each after the coin exists. Each is a separate transaction, so bots can buy in between.
With a team of wallets on Unison
Pick pump.fun, add the name, ticker and picture, and pick a team of up to 1,000 wallets. Unison creates the wallets and funds them from one deposit, and you sign once.
Unison is built to put 6 team buys in the Jito bundle that creates the coin. A bundle holds at most 5 transactions, according to Jito’s docs: the coin and your dev buy take 2, and each of the other 3 carries 2 team buys. That limit is a design limit and still waits on a mainnet test.
The rest of the team buys right behind, on the timing you pick, from seconds to hours. You can pause, resume or stop. When you want out, you sell from every wallet at once and bring the SOL back to your main wallet. Unison is in closed beta.
What it costs
- Creating the coin: no platform fee, only network fees and rent (CoinPaprika, 19 October 2026).
- Trading on the curve: 1.25% of each trade, 0.95% to the protocol and 0.30% to the creator, read from pump.fun’s FeeConfig account on 8 November 2026.
- Each buying wallet: about 0.006 SOL on top of its buy, for its token account, pump.fun’s volume account and fees. Part of it comes back when the accounts close.
- The Jito tip: Unison budgets 0.001 SOL for the launch bundle.
The launch cost calculator adds it up for your team size before you spend anything.
Bonding and graduation
A coin bonds at about 85 SOL into the curve, worked out from the Global account values above. Few coins get there. MadeOnSol counted 18,202 bonds from 1,032,440 pump.fun launches in August 2026, or 1.8%. A CoinGecko study of 18.67 million pump.fun tokens, reported in June 2026, found 68.67% recorded their last trade on launch day.
After bonding, the coin trades on PumpSwap with its liquidity burned. The pump fun program docs list a 0.015 SOL migration fee. CoinPaprika reported a PumpSwap fee tiered by market cap on 19 October 2026: 1.25% below 420 SOL, falling to 0.30%. More on the trigger: How many SOL to bond on pump.fun.
Creator fees and snipers
The creator earns 0.30% of curve volume and claims it from pump.fun. Unison can claim it for you: see How to claim creator fees.
pump.fun documents no snipe protection. Bots watch for new coins and buy as fast as they can. A bundle puts your own buys first. It does not stop anyone buying after it, and it does not bring buyers. More: How to avoid snipers on pump.fun.
