Launching your token on Solana: the quick guide (almost free)

Do you want to create your own currency? In 2024, it’s as easy as making a meme. And the proof is in stories like MOTHER: a token inspired by Iggy Azalea that exploded in May. Some traders put in $900 and took out $600k within hours. Another investor turned $3k into $9 million. How? By being among the first.

Why Pump.Fun is the movement

The platform runs on Solana, and here are the reasons it’s taking off:

The price: Only $3 to launch. If it fails, you recover your investment by selling on the same platform.

No code = no tricks: Unlike other platforms, Pump.Fun doesn’t allow malicious functions (block sales, impose 99% taxes, classic rugpull). Scammers have less room to cheat.

Important data: The platform shows the main holders for each token. This way, you can see if suspicious wallets are accumulating before you join.

Potential airdrop: The developers never directly announced a future governance token, but they hinted at it in Discord. If it arrives, it’s better to be in.

The 3 steps to create your token

1. Solana wallet (Phantom is the most used) + a few dollars in SOL
2. Connect to Pump.Fun and click “Start new coin”
3. Name, ticker, description, logo, social media → Create and confirm

Done. Your token has its own page with a chart, holders, and community chat.

The critical point: the linkage curve

When you reach $69k 100% market capitalization in the (metric), Pump.Fun automatically lists it on Raydium (the largest DEX on Solana). That’s when it can explode or plummet.

What matters afterward: promotion on social media. Pump.Fun generates thousands of tokens per second. Without a community, you’ll get lost in the noise. If you manage to get into the “Top of the Hill” (coins with the most activity), your chances of reaching Raydium increase significantly.

How to position yourself for an airdrop

If the project decides to drop tokens (not yet confirmed):

• Use the platform regularly (at least once a week)
• Make transactions of at least $50-100 (bots detect very low volumes)
• Try launching your own token (yes, multiple times)
• Keep $50-100 in SOL in your wallet (very low balances are filtered in distributions)

The mandatory disclaimer

99% of meme tokens are scams that disappear minutes after launch. The chance to win 100X or 1000X is extremely rare. If you play here, do so with money you can afford to lose.

Pump.Fun is a tool, not a money-making machine.
