🚀 How to Launch a Meme Coin on Pump.fun (Solana)
Updated October 8, 2025 • 9–10 min read
Overview
Pump.fun — often called Pump Fun or **Pumpfun** in the community — is the fastest path to minting a meme coin on Solana. It uses a bonding-curve sale to seed liquidity and then automatically graduates tokens to open trading once the curve fills. This guide shows you the exact flow and how to plug in LaunchCommand to manage branding, FAQs, and shill content directly from Telegram.
Steps to Launch on Pump.fun
- Connect wallet: Open Pump.fun in a Solana browser wallet like Phantom or Solflare. If you search for “pump fun meme coin creator”, you’ll land on the same launchpad; approve the connection.
- Set token basics: Choose a short, punchy ticker (≤ 10 chars). Write a one-sentence story hook and a 2–3 line description that mentions you’re launching on Pump Fun to help long-tail discovery.
- Upload art: Use a 512×512 PNG; keep background simple for thumbnails. Add alt text like “Pumpfun token logo” for accessibility and image SEO.
- Mint / pay fee: Confirm the creation transaction in your wallet (network fee + small platform fee). The **Pumpfun** flow is one-click once your fields are set.
- Share your launch: Immediately post your CA, story, and image pack. Use the Shill Kit for instant, on-brand content that names the platform (Pump.fun / Pump Fun) in at least one asset.
- Graduate to open trading: Once the bonding curve hits its threshold, Pump.fun auto-graduates your token to DEX trading. Pin your Token Hub and publish a simple “How to buy on Solana” post.

FAQ
Can I change token settings after launch?
Contract parameters are immutable. You can still refine visuals and copy before graduation; after that, focus on brand and community rituals.
