No coding, no experience? No problem. This guide shows you how to launch your own token on Solana in under 10 minutes.
What Is Pump.fun and Why Everyone’s Using It
Pump.fun is a revolutionary Solana-based platform that lets anyone launch a memecoin in minutes — no coding, no dev team, and no liquidity upfront needed.
In early 2025, over 2,000 tokens launched daily on Pump.fun, including viral hits like:
- $WEN
- $GIGA
- $SECHO (coming soon 👀)
It’s meme culture meets instant tokenization. But how does it work — and how can you launch your own token?
Who Is This Guide For?
This guide is for:
- Total beginners
- Memecoin lovers with $1 and a dream
- Anyone who wants to test token ideas, promote a brand, or go viral on Solana
If you’ve got a name, a meme, and a few SOL, you're ready.
How Pump.fun Works (Explained Simply)
Pump.fun uses a bonding curve model instead of traditional liquidity pools.
Here’s what that means:
- The price of the token automatically increases as more people buy.
- You, the creator, get 0 tokens at launch — everyone buys fairly.
- Once enough SOL is raised (usually 2+ SOL), the token graduates from Pump.fun to Raydium with real liquidity.
That’s it — no LP, no presale, no rug.
Step-by-Step: How to Launch Your Token on Pump.fun
✅ What You’ll Need:
- A Solana wallet (we recommend Phantom or Backpack)
- At least 0.05 SOL (for launch fees)
- A name, symbol, and optional meme/image
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Go to https://pump.fun and click Connect Wallet.
Your wallet must be on the Solana network and have some SOL for fees.
Step 2: Choose a Name & Ticker
Click “Launch a Token” and enter:
- Token Name (e.g., “Dribbling Cat”)
- Ticker (e.g.,
$DRCAT) - Add a fun, meme-style description — this is what people will see.
- Keep it simple, funny, and clickable.
Step 3: Upload Your Token Image (Optional)
Add a 400x400 PNG or JPEG for your token. This will be your brand’s face across Pump.fun and Raydium.
No image? No problem — you can add one later.
Step 4: Choose a Launch Curve
Pump.fun uses bonding curves to define how fast the price increases.
Options include:
- Slow: Good for long-term tokens
- Medium: Balanced growth
- Fast: Ideal for meme hype and quick pumps
Most degens choose Medium or Fast.
Step 5: Launch Your Token
Click "Launch" and approve the transaction in your wallet.
You’ll pay a small fee (around 0.02–0.05 SOL), and that’s it — your token is live!
After Launch: What Happens Next?
Your token will appear on the Pump.fun home page — and anyone can start buying.
Once your token reaches the required SOL threshold (usually ~2.5 SOL in buys), it automatically launches on Raydium with liquidity!
At that point:
- You can build a Telegram or X community
- Announce your token on sites like SolHunters, Birdeye, and Dexscreener
- Start shilling or add use cases
Important Things to Know
You don’t own any tokens at launch
They must be bought like everyone else. This ensures fairness and no dev wallet dumps.
💀 You cannot “rug pull”
There’s no manual LP to remove, no way to pull funds out once the token is live.
If your token fails, it fades.
🪙 You can’t edit the token after launch
No image, name, or description changes after you hit launch — make sure everything looks right.
Tips for Success on Pump.fun
1. Have a killer meme + logo
The meme is the brand. If it slaps, it pumps.
2. Post immediately on X and Telegram

3. Use tools like:
- Birdeye — price tracking

4. Engage in Pump.fun community chats
Early degens hang there — they can moon your token fast.
