What is Pump.fun?
Pump.fun, it's a Solana-based generator of tokens that allows everyone to create their own for free. It doesn't require any programming or mining skills.
For now, Pum.fun is a leading platform for creating meme coins. Among its features are a user-friendly interface, anti-rug-pull features, and a bonding curve model, according to which the price of a token increases with increasing demand.
It gave birth to such meme coins as:

Moral preparation before creating a token
Decide if you want just to play, learn, and get new experiences or if you are really gonna make money on your token. If the second option, you have to approach every detail of your future token seriously.
Go to the Pump.fun website and look at the different tokens. Use sorting. For example, by choosing sort by market cap, you will see the most successful tokens for the last period.
Guide on creating a token
1. Log in to the website
I did it with my email.
After that, you see such a window. And now it's time to create your first digital asset.
2. Create a name
You can name the token whatever. Even with the name of a loved person. But the most frequent are:
- Memes
- Trending tweets in X
- News
It's something that everyone knows. For example, I decided to create a token devoted to some trending news. I looked at the tab "Popular" on X, Reddit, and ADS News and found the news about the release of the 2025 film Snow White by Disney. So, I'll name my token “Show White”. Why not?
3. Come up with a description
It can also be whatever: jokes, an appeal to the audience, or something encouraging them to invest in it. For example:
Mine: “Snow White” became the subject of numerous scandals long before its release. However, on its first weekend, it led the U.S. box office. I support the bravery of the screenwriters and directors, as this allows them to create something special. Specifically, this helps the film industry develop.
SPUP: SolPup ($SPUP) is a next-generation meme coin built on Solana. The famous pup brings ease, speed, and laughter to the crypto world. Join the WOOF-WAGMI movement, where everyone earns together with SolPup!
4. Create image
You can ask AI to create a token image for you. Or you can find something related on Google. I googled my picture.
And that's where the mandatory items to fill out about your token end are. I can see the ready token.
5. Run social media accounts
You should manage X, Reddit, Telegram, and Discord, but the most widespread among token owners is X. If your coin doesn't have social media, most likely, no one invests in your token.
6. Become the first investor
Create the first green candle to create minimal capitalization and for other investors to start coming in. To be able to make and receive payments, you need to link Solana Wallet to Pump.Fun. Among them are Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack, but the most commonly used is Phantom.
7. Work on promotion
Chat with your audience through all communication channels and share stories and news. Connect with crypto-influencers to advertise your token. The most important thing is to let your audience know that your intentions are serious and that you will not dump your token in a day.
Tip from Hodl FM
Look for videos and articles on how to trade tokens on Pump.fun and learn what they recommend paying attention to when you choose a token to invest in.
How do you bring your token to success?
Control the price. After you buy a bit of your own token, other people also start buying it. When the price is high enough for traders who bought it initially, they begin to sell it, and the token price drops. Then you should buy it again. You can earn by selling a small portion of your tokens. But don't sell too much because it can crash the price.
Promote your token. Manage your social networks, create a community around your token, and chat with them. It will help your asset to reach $ 69,000 in market capitalization to get to the DEX.
It seems your first billion dollars on crypto has gotten closer. Looking forward to your first meme coin on Pump.fun!
