For traders

  • Trading wallets for trades without a wallet popup
  • Instant trading widget with your own presets
  • Stop-loss and take-profit alerts

Platform

  • Real-time terminal with live pump.fun coins
  • XP, levels, badges, quests and leaderboards
  • All fees listed in this document and shown before you sign

Getting started

  1. Connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Ledger and others)
  2. To trade: create a trading wallet and fund it
  3. To launch: open Create and configure your coin

Getting Started

Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Connect your wallet
Click "Connect Wallet" in the header and pick your wallet. Some actions ask you to sign a short message to sign in; this is not a transaction and costs nothing.

Add a display name, bio, avatar and social links on your profile.

Step 3: For traders, create a trading wallet

  1. Open the Wallets page
  2. Click "New Wallet" and give it a name
  3. Send SOL to it from your main wallet
  4. On a coin's page, switch on "Instant" to show the trading widget

Step 4: For creators, launch a coin

  1. Open the Create page
  2. Fill in name, symbol, description and image
  3. Choose a launch mode and its settings
  4. Check the cost breakdown and sign

Step 5: Trade

  • Use the Terminal to find live coins
  • Open a coin to see its chart and trade panel
  • Track your positions on the Portfolio page

Good first habits

  • Start with small amounts
  • Read the section for the launch mode you want before using it
  • Follow us on X and join the Telegram for updates and support

Trading Wallets

Trading Without a Wallet Popup

Trading wallets (also called burner wallets) are Solana wallets that PumpFlare creates for you and signs with on your behalf, so trades go out without a confirmation popup.

What that means

  • PumpFlare's server generates the wallet and stores its private key encrypted (AES-256-GCM)
  • PumpFlare can sign transactions from it, which is what makes one-click trading possible
  • Keep only what you are actively trading in it

Creating a trading wallet

  1. Open the Wallets page
  2. Click "New Wallet" and enter a name
  3. Send SOL to the new address from your main wallet

Managing wallets

  • Up to 5 active trading wallets; archive one to make room for another
  • Rename, archive and restore wallets
  • Copy the address or open it on Solscan
  • Export the private key at any time and import it into any Solana wallet app
  • Withdraw SOL to any address (the form is pre-filled with your connected wallet)

Security basics

  • Withdraw profits to your main wallet regularly
  • Export and back up the private keys of wallets you keep funds in
  • Never share a private key with anyone, including anyone claiming to be PumpFlare support

Instant Trading Widget

One-Click Trading

The instant trading widget floats over a coin's page and trades with one click from the trading wallet you select.

Turning it on
Open any coin and click "Instant" next to the trade panel. Click it again to hide the widget.

What it shows

  • A wallet selector with the balance of each trading wallet
  • Buy presets in SOL, default 0.01 / 0.025 / 0.05 / 0.1
  • Sell presets in percent of your position, default 25 / 50 / 75 / 100
  • Your current position in the coin

Click the pencil icon to change the presets. They are saved in your browser.

Trade settings (gear icon)

  • Slippage: default 50%. Lower values fail more often on fast-moving coins; higher values accept a worse price. No setting guarantees a fill.
  • Priority fee: default 0.0001 SOL. A higher fee usually lands faster when the network is busy.
  • Bribe fee: default 0.00001 SOL. It is added to the priority fee of the same transaction; it is not sent as a separate Jito bundle.
  • MEV mode: the reduced and secure modes add 0.0005 and 0.001 SOL of priority fee.

Quick buy in the Terminal
Token cards in the Terminal have a quick-buy button that buys the amount set in the Terminal with your selected trading wallet.

Every trade pays PumpFlare's trade fee (see Fees) and pump.fun's own fees.

Stop-Loss & Take-Profit

Price Alerts With Optional Auto-Sell

Stop-loss triggers when the price falls to your target. Take-profit triggers when it rises to your target. Both can be active on the same position.

Setting an alert

  1. Open the Portfolio page
  2. Find the position and click the bell icon
  3. Set the trigger price, the share to sell and whether to auto-sell

Auto-sell

  • On: when the alert triggers, the sell is sent from your trading wallet
  • Off: you get a notification and decide yourself
  • The trading wallet needs a little SOL for network fees

Alert statuses

  • ACTIVE: watching the price
  • TRIGGERED: the price was reached
  • EXECUTED: the auto-sell went through
  • CANCELLED: you cancelled it
  • FAILED: the sell did not go through (check the wallet balance)

Keep in mind
Alerts are checked periodically, not on every trade. A coin that moves fast can pass your trigger price before the sell lands, so the sell price can differ from the trigger price. Alerts reduce risk; they do not remove it.

Portfolio & P&L Tracking

Track Your Trading

The Portfolio page shows your positions and how your trading is doing.

Balance chart
Balance history for the last 30 days.

P&L calendar
Click "Calendar" to see profit and loss per day, month by month.

Positions
For each coin: balance, current value, average buy price, P&L in SOL and percent, and any stop-loss or take-profit set on it.

Trade history
Buys and sells with SOL and token amounts, price, time, wallet and a Solscan link.

How P&L is calculated

Current value = token amount x current price
Total cost    = sum of all buys
P&L (SOL)     = current value - total cost
P&L (%)       = P&L / total cost x 100

Positions are tracked from trades made on PumpFlare. Buys made on other sites are not included.

Launch Modes Overview

Standard

A plain pump.fun launch signed by your wallet. Creator fees go to your wallet.

Buyback

Auto

Every minute, claimed creator fees buy the coin back. Bought tokens stay in the launch wallet.

Deflationary

Auto

Creator fees buy the coin, and a share you choose (10-100%) of what was bought is burned.

Rewards

Auto

Creator fees buy the coin, and the tokens are sent to the top 100 holders in proportion to their balance.

Jackpot

Auto

Every 10 minutes the collected SOL goes to one random holder. Every holder has the same chance.

Milestone

Auto

When the market cap passes a milestone you set, a share of the bought-back tokens is burned.

Lottery

Auto

At an interval you choose, collected SOL goes to one holder. More tokens means better odds.

Lock

Your dev-buy tokens are moved to an escrow wallet until the unlock date you pick.

Launch Mode Details

How Each Mode Works

Two kinds of launch
Standard and Lock are signed by your own wallet, and creator fees go to your wallet. Every other mode is an automation mode: the create page generates a separate launch wallet in your browser, that wallet becomes the coin's creator, and PumpFlare's server signs with it to claim creator fees and act on them. You fund the launch wallet before launching; it pays for the launch and the dev buy.

Standard
A plain pump.fun launch. No automation. Creator fees go to your wallet. Only Standard can use anti-sniper decoys (see Creating a Token).

Buyback (Flywheel)

  • Every minute, the launch wallet claims its creator fees
  • 3% goes to PumpFlare, the rest buys the coin
  • The bought tokens stay in the launch wallet

Deflationary (Burn)

  • Same cycle as Buyback
  • You choose what share of the bought tokens is burned, from 10 to 100% (default 50%); the rest stays in the launch wallet

Rewards (Distribution)

  • Same cycle as Buyback
  • The bought tokens are sent to the top 100 holders by balance, in proportion to their holdings
  • The launch wallet and liquidity pools are left out

Jackpot

  • Every 10 minutes, the launch wallet claims its creator fees
  • Once at least 0.01 SOL is available, 3% goes to PumpFlare and the rest goes to one holder picked at random
  • Every holder has the same chance, whatever their balance

Lottery

  • You choose the interval (5 to 60 minutes) and the share of the pool paid out (50 to 100%)
  • Once at least 0.01 SOL is available, one holder wins; the chance is proportional to the number of tokens held

Milestone

  • You set market-cap milestones and a burn share for each (defaults: $10K / 10%, $50K / 15%, $100K / 20%)
  • When the market cap passes a milestone, claimed fees buy the coin and the chosen share of the launch wallet's tokens is burned
  • Each milestone fires once

Lock

  • Your dev buy is moved to an escrow wallet until the date and time you choose
  • The escrow is a wallet created and held by PumpFlare (its key is stored encrypted); it is not an on-chain program, so the lock relies on PumpFlare
  • After the unlock date you can claim the tokens back
  • Needs a dev buy. Costs a 0.05 SOL lock fee plus about 0.003 SOL of escrow rent

Important

  • The mode cannot be changed after launch
  • Every automation cycle keeps 0.002 SOL in the launch wallet for network fees
  • Automation spends the SOL balance of the launch wallet, so any extra SOL you send there is treated like creator fees
  • A coin with no recorded trades for 3 hours is marked inactive and its automation stops
  • Keep the launch wallet's private key: it is shown once, when the wallet is generated

Creating a Token

Step-by-Step Launch

Coin details

  • Name and symbol (ticker)
  • Description, shown on the coin's page
  • Image: JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP, up to 5 MB; square works best. The image and metadata are stored on IPFS
  • Links (optional): X, Telegram, website

Steps

  1. Open Create
  2. Fill in the details and upload the image
  3. Choose a launch mode and its settings
  4. Optional: a dev buy, so you buy your own coin in the launch transaction
  5. For an automation mode: generate the launch wallet, save its private key and fund it
  6. Check the cost breakdown and sign

Anti-sniper decoys (Standard only)
Launch 3, 5 or 10 coins with the same details at once, so bots cannot tell which one you will promote. Each coin is a full launch and costs the same as one launch.

Costs

  • Network fees and pump.fun account rent: about 0.02 SOL
  • PumpFlare fee: 0.001 SOL when the launch has no dev buy; with a dev buy, the 1% trade fee is charged on the dev buy instead
  • Automation modes: 3% of the SOL each automation cycle spends (see Fees)
  • The create page shows the full total, including any launch fee, before you sign

After launch

  • The coin appears in the Terminal
  • Share its link
  • For automation modes, watch the activity on the coin's page

Fees

Complete Fee Structure

pump.fun's own fees
Every trade of a pump.fun coin pays pump.fun's protocol fee and the coin's creator fee, on whichever site it is made. pump.fun sets these rates and can change them; PumpFlare does not control or receive them.

PumpFlare fees

WhatFee
Buy or sell1% of the SOL amount, shown in the trade panel before you sign (not charged on coins paired with a token other than SOL)
Launch without a dev buy0.001 SOL
Launch with a dev buy1% of the dev buy
Automation modes3% of the SOL each automation cycle spends
Lock mode0.05 SOL lock fee (plus about 0.003 SOL escrow rent)
Token Boost0.1 to 2 SOL, by duration
Trading walletsFree to create

Network fees and account rent are paid to Solana, not to PumpFlare.

How automation fees work
Example with Buyback: a cycle claims the creator fees, leaving 1 SOL available in the launch wallet.

  • 0.03 SOL (3%) goes to PumpFlare
  • 0.97 SOL buys the coin

The 3% comes out of the launch wallet's balance, which normally holds only claimed creator fees. It is never taken from your main wallet.

Token Boost
Paid promotion: a boosted coin is shown in the promoted banner across the site for the time you pay for.

  • 1 hour: 0.1 SOL
  • 6 hours: 0.5 SOL
  • 12 hours: 1 SOL
  • 24 hours: 2 SOL

Fee wallet
PumpFlare's fees are paid to a public wallet:

Network fees (Solana)

  • Launch: about 0.02 SOL including rent
  • Trade: a small base fee plus the priority fee you set
  • Keep a little SOL in every wallet you trade or automate from

Security & Privacy

How Your Keys Are Handled

Your main wallet
PumpFlare never sees the private key or seed phrase of the wallet you connect. You approve every transaction from it in your wallet app.

Keys PumpFlare stores

KeyWhere it comes fromHow it is storedWhy
Trading walletGenerated on PumpFlare's serverEncrypted, AES-256-GCMOne-click trades, alerts
Launch walletGenerated in your browser on the create page, then sent to the serverEncrypted, AES-256-GCMAutomation
Lock escrowGenerated on PumpFlare's serverEncrypted, AES-256-GCMHolding locked tokens

Anyone who holds a wallet's key controls that wallet. For these wallets that includes PumpFlare, which is what lets them work without your signature. Keep in them only what you need there.

Launch wallet
The private key is shown once, when the wallet is generated. Save it: with it you can always control the coin's creator wallet yourself, whatever happens to PumpFlare.

Good practice

  1. Check every transaction before you sign it
  2. Start with small amounts
  3. Back up the keys of every wallet you keep funds in
  4. Never share a private key or seed phrase. PumpFlare will never ask for one
  5. The only official site is pumpflare.fun. Check the address before connecting your wallet

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

General

Q: What is PumpFlare?
A: A launchpad and trading terminal for pump.fun coins on Solana, with automation, trading wallets and analytics.

Q: Does PumpFlare have its own token?
A: The only official PumpFlare token is the one whose contract address (CA) is shown in the bottom bar of pumpflare.fun and posted by @pumpflare_app on X. We never run presales or private airdrops — anyone offering you one is not us.

Q: Which wallets work?
A: Phantom, Solflare, Ledger and other Solana wallets offered in the connect dialog.

Q: Is PumpFlare safe to use?
A: Your main wallet's keys never leave your wallet. Trading and launch wallets are held encrypted by PumpFlare (see Security). Trading memecoins is very risky whatever tool you use.

Trading

Q: Why use trading wallets?
A: Trades from them go out without a wallet popup, which is faster.

Q: What slippage should I use?
A: The default is 50%, because memecoins move fast. Lower slippage protects the price but fails more often.

Q: Why did my trade fail?
A: Usually not enough SOL for the trade plus fees, slippage set too low, or a busy network.

Automation

Q: How often does automation run?
A: Buyback, Deflationary, Rewards and Milestone: every minute. Jackpot: every 10 minutes. Lottery: at the interval you chose (5 to 60 minutes). Each coin runs on its own timer, starting from its launch.

Q: How is the jackpot winner picked?
A: At random, with the same chance for every holder.

Q: How is the lottery winner picked?
A: At random, weighted by holdings: more tokens, better odds.

Q: Why isn't my automation running?
A: Check that the launch wallet has at least 0.002 SOL for network fees, that fees have built up (0.001 SOL for buyback modes, 0.01 SOL for Jackpot and Lottery), and that the coin has traded in the last 3 hours.

Q: Can I change the mode after launch?
A: No, the mode is permanent.

Q: What happens when the coin graduates?
A: The coin moves to pump.fun's PumpSwap pool. Automation buys go through Jupiter from then on.

Launching

Q: How much does a launch cost?
A: About 0.02 SOL in network fees and rent, plus a 0.001 SOL PumpFlare fee when there is no dev buy (with a dev buy, 1% of it). The create page shows the exact total before you sign.

Q: Why must I save the launch wallet key?
A: It is the creator wallet of your coin. With the key you can control it yourself at any time.

Q: Can I launch more than one coin?
A: Yes. Each automation launch gets its own launch wallet.

P&L

Q: Why isn't my position showing?
A: Positions are tracked from trades made on PumpFlare. Buys made elsewhere are not included.
