Pump.fun fees: how much does Pump.fun charge?

Pump.fun charges 1.25% on every bonding-curve trade, an extra 0.45% platform fee on trades placed in pump.fun's own apps, and the Solana network fee that every transaction on the chain pays. Creating a coin carries no platform fee, according to pump.fun's own fee page. Those Pump.fun fees change again once a coin graduates. On ripr you can open a pump.fun coin, see how far along its bonding curve it is, and read the fee lines for your own trade before you confirm it.

Here is what each of those charges is for, and where to check them.

Pump.fun fees on a trade, line by line

On a bonding-curve trade, pump.fun's fee page, updated in October 2026, lists a total fee of 1.25%, split 0.30% to the coin's creator and 0.95% to the protocol. That is pump.fun's own charge, and it applies while the coin is still on its bonding curve.

Since October 2026 the same page lists a second charge: a Platform Fee of 0.45%, or 0.40% with a referral code, on trades placed in pump.fun's own web and mobile apps. Pump.fun's page says this one is not charged on its Terminal or on third-party interfaces.

Both are percentages, so they scale with your trade size. A 1 SOL buy on the curve pays about 0.0125 SOL in curve fees; a 0.1 SOL buy pays about a tenth of that.

ripr lists coins from pump.fun as well as from other Solana launchpads and its own, so a pump.fun coin opens as a normal coin page in the app. You can reach one from Explore, ripr's screener, which filters coins by launchpad, or search it by name, ticker or full contract address. A contract address is a coin's unique on-chain id: the long string that identifies it even when a dozen coins share the same name and picture. Paste the whole thing.

Pump.fun fees after a coin graduates

When a pump.fun coin finishes its bonding curve it graduates to PumpSwap, pump.fun's own automated market maker, for a 0.015 SOL fee per coin. The trading fee then comes from the pool rather than the curve. On PumpSwap's canonical pools it starts at 1.25% and steps down towards 0.30% as the coin's market cap grows, while non-canonical pools charge 0.30%.

So the stage a coin is at decides what a trade on it costs. The curve comes first, the pool after. That is worth two seconds of checking before you size a buy.

ripr's coin page shows bonding-curve progress that updates live as the coin trades, so you can see whether a coin is still on its curve or already past it. A pump.fun coin sitting at about 19% of its curve, for example, is still priced by the curve. Coins that have made the move can carry a Migrated badge. If the idea is new to you, the help centre explains what a bonding curve is in simple terms.

Network fees and deposits: the costs that aren't a percentage

Every Solana transaction pays a small network fee to the validators that process it, whatever app you send it from, and it is paid in SOL rather than in the coin you are buying. Solana's documentation covers how transaction fees work. ripr sends your trades with Solana's base network fee, so this is the line you keep a little spare SOL for.

There is one more small amount worth knowing about. The first time you buy a particular coin, your wallet opens a token account to hold it, and that account needs a refundable deposit of about 0.0015 SOL, which comes back when the account is closed. It is a deposit rather than a charge, and it happens once per coin.

Slippage is the third cost that never shows up as a fee. It is the difference between the price you were quoted and the price your trade actually fills at, and on a fast-moving new coin it can cost you more than all the percentages put together. On ripr, Auto slippage sets your maximum from how much the coin moved in the last five minutes, between 3% and 15%, and you can set your own number instead. The help centre covers how to set slippage on ripr.

How to see what a trade costs before you confirm it on ripr

On ripr's iOS and Android apps, the trade sheet lists the network fee, any ripr router fee and the refundable account deposit before you confirm. You read those numbers while you can still back out of the trade.

Before your wallet signs, ripr also checks the prepared transaction on your device against the amount, slippage and fee limits you set, and refuses it if anything differs. That check is about the shape of the transaction, not about whether the coin itself is a good idea.

ripr's own trading rates are set out in the help centre, in what fees are charged during trading.

A short checklist before you buy a Pump.fun coin

Before you buy a pump.fun coin, run through these five checks in ripr.

1. Check the stage first. Bonding-curve progress on the coin page tells you whether curve pricing or pool pricing applies.
2. Keep spare SOL. The network fee and the one-off token-account deposit are paid in SOL, not in the coin you buy.
3. Search by the full contract address rather than the ticker when a coin is new, because copycats reuse names and pictures freely.
4. Read the warnings. ripr shows rule-based warnings for known rug patterns in the buy flow as well as on the coin page, and says plainly that not seeing a warning does not mean a coin is fine.
5. Start small enough that a bad fill is annoying rather than painful. Our guide to spotting a risky meme coin covers what else to look at, and how to buy a Solana meme coin on ripr covers the mechanics.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Pump.fun charge per trade?

Pump.fun's fee page lists 1.25% on bonding-curve trades, split 0.30% to the coin's creator and 0.95% to the protocol. Trades placed in pump.fun's own web and mobile apps carry a further 0.45% platform fee, or 0.40% with a referral code. Solana's network fee applies to every trade as well, and is paid in SOL.

Is the Pump.fun fee still 1%?

No. Pump.fun's fee page, updated in October 2026, lists 1.25% on a bonding-curve trade: 0.30% to the coin's creator and 0.95% to the protocol. Many secondary sites still quote the older 1% figure, so check the date on whatever you are reading.

Does Pump.fun charge a fee to create a coin?

Pump.fun's fee page lists no platform fee for creating a coin: creators pay Solana's network fees and a small account deposit. The cost of launching sits in the chain's own charges rather than in a listing fee.

Do Pump.fun creators earn fees?

Yes. Of the 1.25% charged on bonding-curve trades, pump.fun's fee page allocates 0.30% to the coin's creator and 0.95% to the protocol, so a creator earns a share of the volume their coin trades while it is on the curve.

Can I trade Pump.fun coins on ripr?

Yes. ripr discovers coins from pump.fun and can trade coins on the pump.fun curve and on PumpSwap pools, as well as on several other Solana venues and its own curve. Whether a particular coin can be traded depends on its pool. Search for it in ripr by name, ticker or full contract address.

Where to check your own costs next

What a pump.fun coin costs you depends on the trade you make, not only on the percentages. Open a pump.fun coin in ripr's Explore screener, look at its bonding-curve progress, read the fee lines on the trade sheet, and size the buy from there.
