Methodology: How We Research Pump.fun
PumpFun Guide checks every Pump.fun fee and rule against Pump.fun's own published documentation, mainly its fees page and Deposit Match Program Terms. We record when each source was checked, re-check at least monthly and whenever Pump.fun changes a page, and correct errors promptly with a visible updated date.
How does PumpFun Guide research Pump.fun?
We start from primary sources: pages Pump.fun publishes itself. Secondary sources such as news coverage can tell us that something changed, but we only state a figure once we have read it on an official page. Where we cannot verify something, we either leave it out or say clearly that it is unverified.
Primary sources
| Source | What we use it for | Source's own date |
|---|---|---|
| Pump.fun fees page | Bonding-curve, PumpSwap and platform fees; creation and graduation costs | 17 October 2026 |
| Deposit Match Program Terms | How codes are applied, timing, eligibility, Maximum Match, payment | 8 November 2026 |
| Bonding curve documentation | How prices are quoted and how graduation works | Undated |
| Terms and conditions | General platform rules referenced by the pages above | As published |
The featured offer
The headline benefits we show for referral code NEWUSER50 are 10% off trading fees and up to $50 free on the first deposit. Detailed conditions come from Pump.fun's program terms. We do not invent additional bonuses, percentages or rules. Where Pump.fun's official fee page expresses the discount in its own terms, as a 0.40% platform fee instead of 0.45%, we quote that too so readers can check it on their trade confirmations. See the referral code page.
Review cadence
- Official fee and program pages: re-checked at least monthly and whenever we see a change.
- Guides and posts: every page shows its published and updated dates.
- New posts: roughly every three days, written to the same guide standards and linked from older posts where relevant.
Limitations
Pump.fun can change fees, offers and app screens without notice, and amounts can vary by country. App menus change frequently, so our step-by-step instructions describe what to look for rather than exact button labels. Worked fee examples use official rates and ignore price impact and network fees unless stated.
Editorial independence and disclosure
This site may earn a referral reward when readers use NEWUSER50. That arrangement does not change how we describe risks, and we do not accept payment to cover coins. Details are in the disclaimer and on our about page.
Frequently asked questions
Where do your Pump.fun fee figures come from?
From Pump.fun's official fees page, which forms part of its terms of use. We quote the rates exactly as published, note the page's own last updated date, currently 17 October 2026, and do not estimate or round official fee figures except in clearly labelled worked examples.
How often do you update your Pump.fun guides?
We re-check official fee and program pages at least monthly and whenever we see that Pump.fun has changed them. Each guide and post shows a published and an updated date. New informational blog posts are added roughly every three days, following the same sourcing rules.
Where do the referral code benefits come from?
The featured offer for code NEWUSER50, 10% off trading fees and up to $50 free on the first deposit, is the offer we promote. Detailed rules, such as the 24-hour window and country limits, come from Pump.fun's Deposit Match Program Terms, which we link wherever we cite them.
How can I report an error?
If you spot a figure that no longer matches Pump.fun's official pages or app, the official version applies. Errors we find or that are reported to us are corrected promptly, and the updated date on the page changes when a correction is made.
