Pump.fun Explained: How to Trade & Create Memecoins on Pump.fun

Pump.fun is a memecoin launchpad built on Solana that lets anyone create their own token with just a few clicks — no coding required. It gained massive attention after the success of community-driven coins like GOAT, PNUT, and CHILLGUY, becoming one of the most popular platforms in late 2024 and 2025.

A lit bomb surrounded by flames, pills labeled "Pump.fun," and flying coins against a dark background, creating a sense of urgency.

Unlike traditional meme tokens, Pump.fun memecoins are tied to a story or cultural trend, making them stand out and attract hype. This narrative-driven approach has made Pump.fun the go-to platform for traders looking to catch the next viral coin.


What are Memecoins?

Memecoins are tokens created on major blockchains with high community engagement and fast-moving charts. They don’t usually bring tech innovation but thrive on hype, culture, and FOMO. Their price action heavily depends on how much excitement the community generates.

Bonding Curve Mechanism

Pump.fun uses a bonding curve pricing model:

Graph with a curved red line shows token price and supply. Arrows point to areas labeled currentPrice, priceForTokens. Purple shaded area.

  • Early buyers get lower prices.

  • As more tokens are bought, the price increases.

  • Once $69K market cap is reached, a portion is burned and liquidity is moved to PumpSwap.

This incentivizes early entry and creates natural FOMO.
