Free to create since June 2026
How to launch a coin on pump.fun
pump.fun is the reason meme coin launches went from a developer task to a two minute form. Here is exactly what happens and what it costs.
Is launching a coin on pump.fun free?
Rule: As of June 2026 a pump.fun launch costs the deployer nothing to create, 1.25% on bonding curve trades, and 0.015 SOL to graduate at about $69,000 market cap.
Launching a coin on pump.fun is free for the deployer as of June 2026. The creation fee that was previously around 0.02 SOL was removed and absorbed into the purchase made by the token's first buyer. You still pay the Solana network fee to submit the transaction, which is a fraction of a cent. Creation itself is a form: name, ticker, image, description and socials, and it takes about two minutes. The token then trades on a bonding curve, so no liquidity is required from you at any point. Ongoing costs are a 1.25% fee on bonding curve trades and a 0.015 SOL graduation fee when the token reaches roughly $69,000 market cap and migrates to PumpSwap, where liquidity is deployed automatically. Graduation is the exception rather than the rule, which is why what surrounds the token, the site, the logo, the Telegram, decides more than the two minutes of launch mechanics do.
What actually happens
- You fill in a form: name, ticker, image, description, socials.
- The token goes live on a bonding curve. Price rises as people buy, and no liquidity is needed from you.
- If it reaches roughly $69,000 market cap it graduates to PumpSwap and liquidity is deployed automatically. Graduation costs 0.015 SOL.
- Most tokens never graduate. That is the base rate, not bad luck.
The fees, in full
| Fee | Amount | Who pays |
|---|---|---|
| Token creation | $0 | Nobody, since June 2026. Folded into the first buy. |
| Solana network fee | Fractions of a cent | You, per transaction |
| Bonding curve trades | 1.25% | Traders, on each trade |
| Graduation | 0.015 SOL | Paid at migration to PumpSwap |
What the form does not give you
The pump.fun page is not a website. It shows a chart and a description, and every token on there looks the same. The projects that pull people off the launchpad and into a community are the ones with somewhere to go: a real site, a Telegram that is set up, and assets people want to share.
That is the entire gap this shop fills. $347 for a site in 24 hours, $1,047 for the full launch set in 48.
Third-party fees on this page were checked on 18 August 2026. They change often, so verify before you rely on them.
