About PumpFun Guide
PumpFun Guide is an independent, unofficial guide to Pump.fun. We explain how the platform works, what it costs and how to stay safe, using Pump.fun's official documentation as our source. The site is funded by referral rewards when readers use code NEWUSER50, which never costs readers anything extra.
What is PumpFun Guide?
PumpFun Guide is a plain-English reference for people who want to understand Pump.fun before they use it. Pump.fun moves fast, its fees have several layers, and its referral and deposit rules have deadlines that are easy to miss. Most of what you find about it online is either hype or a single line of code with no explanation. We wanted a calm, sourced, editorial alternative.
What we cover
- How it works: the bonding curve, graduation to PumpSwap, and the app, in what is Pump.fun?
- What it costs: every official fee, in the fee schedule and fees explained.
- How to use it: from the getting started checklist to connecting Phantom.
- How to stay safe: scams, rug pulls and phishing, in is Pump.fun safe?
- How to pay less: the Pump.fun referral code NEWUSER50.
Full transparency: how this site is funded
This site earns money through Pump.fun's referral program. When you open pump.fun/join/NEWUSER50 and apply code NEWUSER50, you receive 10% off trading fees and can receive up to $50 free on your first deposit. This site may earn a referral commission or reward from Pump.fun in return. That reward comes from Pump.fun, not from your trades or your deposit, and your benefits are identical whichever code you use.
We do not run display ads, sell sponsored posts, or accept payment from coin creators. We do not recommend coins. Full details are in our disclaimer.
What we are not
We are not Pump.fun, and we are not affiliated with, produced by, reviewed by or endorsed by Pump.fun. We are not financial advisers. We are not a trading signal service, and we do not have private information about the platform. When we describe a rule, we link to the official page so you can check it yourself.
How we research
Fee figures and program rules come from Pump.fun's own published pages, such as its fees page and Deposit Match Program Terms. We record the date we checked them and re-check when they change. Our methodology explains our sources, review schedule and how we handle corrections.
Frequently asked questions
Who is behind PumpFun Guide?
PumpFun Guide is run by a small independent editorial team. We do not use a made-up trader persona or claim insider status. The site is not affiliated with Pump.fun, and every rule or number we publish is checked against Pump.fun's official documentation, which we link to directly.
How does PumpFun Guide make money?
Through referral rewards. When readers use code NEWUSER50 or the link pump.fun/join/NEWUSER50, this site may receive a referral reward from Pump.fun. Readers pay nothing extra and receive 10% off trading fees and up to $50 on their first deposit. We do not sell ads or paid placements.
Does the referral income affect what you write?
We try hard to make sure it does not. We publish the risks of memecoin trading as prominently as the benefits of the code, we never recommend specific coins, and we do not accept payment from coin creators to cover their tokens. If the code ever stops being worthwhile, we will say so.
Why should I use a referral code at all?
Because the benefits are set by Pump.fun and go to you: 10% off trading fees and the chance of up to $50 free on your first deposit. A new user who signs up without any code pays the full platform fee and gets no deposit reward, so applying one first is simply cheaper.
