The rules

One set of rules for every coin. Version 1. Any change is announced here first and only applies from the round after it is posted.

Rounds

Every coin pays every 10 minutes, on the clock (:00, :10, :20…). Each round shares the SOL that arrived in the coin's vault since the last one, plus anything forfeited.

Your share

Your share of a round is your bag times its multiplier, counted second by second across the 10 minutes. A buy in the last second of a round earns almost nothing; holding through the whole round earns the most.

The multiplier

Every buy has its own clock. It starts at 1x and climbs +1x every hour to 5x, then +1x every day to 10x.

Buys, top-ups and transfers

• A top-up is a new buy with a new clock at 1x. Your older buys keep theirs.
• Tokens you receive from another wallet start at 1x. Age never moves between wallets.
• Splitting a bag across wallets changes nothing: the total is the same.

Selling

• Selling or sending out takes your newest buys first. Older buys keep their clocks.
• The part you sell earns nothing for the round you sell in. Its share goes to the holders who stayed.
• Anything still waiting to be paid to you shrinks by the share of your bag you removed, and goes back into the round.

Who earns

• Any wallet holding at least 100.0k tokens of the coin when the round closes.
• Buys in the first 2 blocks after launch, other than the creator's own first buy at launch, never earn on that coin. Neither do wallets funded by them, or tokens they pass on.
• Pools, the bonding curve and our own wallets never earn.

Getting paid

• Payouts go straight to your wallet in SOL. No claiming, no signing.
• Amounts under 0.0001 SOL wait and add up until they pass it. A wallet holding no SOL at all gets its first payout once it reaches 0.00089 SOL (Solana's minimum for a new account).

Fees

That is the split of each coin's creator fee, which pump.fun sets at 0.3% of every trade on SOL pairs. It is written into the launch transaction with the admin revoked, so it can never change.
