How to Create a Meme Coin on Pump.fun

So, you woke up today and read "In less than 10 minutes, a US teen made 50k selling off a memecoin he’d made on a lark". 

And you thought - wtf, I can do that too. Maybe you’re not wrong. 

Meme coins have been the chaotic heartbeat of crypto ever since Dogecoin broke the scene. With Pump.fun, launching one is easier than explaining crypto to your grandma (though, let’s be honest, she’ll still ask if it’s "like Bitcoin").

If you’re ready to launch your own degenerate masterpiece, grab your laptop, make sure you’ve got some SOL in your wallet, and let’s get that meme coin rolling.

Step 1: Get Ready to Pump 

Before diving in, you need two things:

1. A meme that slaps – Your coin needs a brand. Pepe, Wojak, Garfield after five espressos – whatever works.

2. Some SOL – Transactions on Solana require SOL for gas fees. A few bucks should do, but you’ll need more if you plan to actually promote your project. 

Now, head over to Pump.fun – a platform that lets you launch a meme coin faster than your boss can say, "We need to talk."

Step 2: Summon Your Meme Coin Into Existence

1. Click "Start a New Coin" (this is your magic button).

2. Pick a name that’s catchy but not something you’ll regret in five years. No pressure. 

3. Indicate ticker - it’s kind of c currency symbol like $BTC

4. Add Description - what is your coin about. You can add future plans, hopes and dreams, whatever you want. 

5. Upload Image or Video  – this is your brand’s face, so make it count. Low-effort MS Paint drawings? Approved. AI-generated Shiba Inu wearing sunglasses? Even better.

6. Hit "Create Coin" and let the blockchain do its thing.

Just like that, you now own a freshly minted meme coin. 

Step 3: Pump, Don’t Dump

Now that your meme coin exists, it needs hype and trades. If nobody buys and sells, it’s just another token floating in the void. Time to spread the word.

• Share it everywhere – Twitter (X), Telegram, Discord, your mom’s Facebook group.

• Create hype – Memes, memes, and more memes. Airdrop some tokens, throw in a ridiculous promise, and let the degens pile in.

• Engage the community – Reply to posts, fuel the chaos, and act like this is the next big thing (even if you’re still figuring it out).

  
  

Step 4: Be a Responsible Creator

Not every meme coin survives the jungle, but here’s how to not get rekt immediately:

• Don’t forget liquidity – A token with no liquidity is like a vending machine that only takes expired coupons. If you’re not familiar with the term, read What Is Liquidity

  Pump.fun gives every coin 16.8k market cap by default.

• Watch out for bots – Sniper bots will buy up your coin before real humans get a chance. There is not much you can do about it, just wait before the bots are done and then continue your planned activities for the real audience. 

  You can check if the trade was made by bot here:

• HODL (at least a little) – If you dump all your own supply, don’t be surprised when everyone else follows.  You should be first believer of you project man.
