How to launch a memecoin on pump.fun (step-by-step)

Q: Do I need to be a developer to launch on pump.fun?

No — pump.fun deploy is a web form. Token name, symbol, image, description. Hit deploy. The chart goes live in seconds.

Q: How much SOL to deploy on pump.fun?

The initial buy you set when deploying is your choice. Common is 0.1-1 SOL. Below 0.5 SOL is risky — first sniper can dominate.

Q: When should I migrate to Raydium?

You don't — it's automatic at ~$60-70K MC. Your job is to push the volume signal that gets you to graduation.

Launching on pump.fun is the easiest part. Getting attention after launch is everything. Here's the full arc.

Step 1 — Pre-launch (T-24h)

Buy Vol Bot Pro license (2.5 SOL). Pre-fund 1-2 SOL into Boss wallet. Queue your token contract (you can paste it after deploy). Outreach to 3-5 KOLs about a planned drop. Pre-pay a TG channel for pinned shoutout at T+5min.

Step 2 — Deploy + T+0 minutes

Create token on pump.fun. Copy the bonding-curve mint address. Paste into Vol Bot. Start the bot — workers participate in the first block alongside any snipers.

Step 3 — T+5 to T+30 minutes

TG channel pinned shoutout goes live. Vol Bot maintains 4-6 trades/min. DexScreener picks up the pair. KOL #1 drops first thread.

Step 4 — T+30 to T+4h (the critical window)

Switch Vol Bot to wave strategy. KOLs #2-3 drop content. Monitor MC + holder count. If MC > $30K, scale to Degen tier. If <$30K, hold + reassess at T+4h.

Step 5 — Sustained push (T+4h to T+72h)

Random-walk strategy. Stagger KOL drops every 6-8 hours. Run a DexScreener Boost at peak attention window.
