pump.fun is a simple, viral token launch platform built on Solana. It lets anyone create and trade tokens in seconds with no coding or crypto experience required. Users fill in a name, ticker, and image, hit launch, and the token is instantly live and tradable on a bonding curve.
Since integrating Privy for their wallet infrastructure, pump.fun has seen:
2.5 million self-custodial wallets provisioned via Privy
8.5 million transactions since embedded wallets became the default
Over 100,000 daily active wallets
Over 1 billion USD in weekly trading volume
What started as a creative experiment on crypto rails is now one of crypto’s largest trading platforms, and a new spin on how creators monetize attention onchain.
What is pump.fun?
pump.fun is a refreshingly simple platform on Solana that lets anyone launch and trade tokens at minimal cost and with no coding experience required.
Every token is fair launch by default: no pre-mints, no insiders, just instant trading on a transparent bonding curve that rewards creators as demand grows.
Creating a token takes seconds:
Enter a name, ticker, and description
Add an image
Hit launch, and your coin is instantly live and tradable
Buying is just as seamless: users purchase directly through the bonding curve and can sell at any time. And with embedded wallets protected by Privy, anyone can get started with just an email and purchase tokens with just one click.

Where Privy comes in
pump.fun’s magic lies in its simplicity – onboarding and trading is no exception.
They first integrated Privy on Pump Advanced, their power-user trading interface, to better serve pro traders placing 10+ trades per day. These high-frequency traders, especially on mobile, were far more likely to transact using embedded wallets – enabled by Privy’s wallet infrastructure, which supports one-tap trades with sub-20ms latency.
After seeing strong results, pump.fun rolled out embedded wallets by default across all surfaces in November 2024, helping onboard a wave of crypto newcomers with no extensions, no seed phrases, and no setup required.
With Privy, users can sign up via email and get a self-custodial wallet instantly. It's a secure, scalable foundation, battle-tested to support millions of wallets and more than $1B in weekly volume.
Behind the scenes, Privy uses secure key-splitting to ensure wallets are fully self-custodial. Keys are never stored or exposed, so creators can focus on building for their communities, with full custody and zero friction.
“Privy is a great solution that we felt could securely provision millions of Solana embedded wallets across our mobile app and web. It was seamless to integrate, fully behind the scenes, and it's scaled up beautifully as we've grown together.”
– Alon, Co-founder of pump.fun
What’s next for pump.fun
pump.fun continues to evolve beyond a token launchpad into a full-stack platform for creators, traders, and onchain communities.
In just a few months since launching PumpSwap in March 2025, pump.fun has scaled it into one of the most active DEXes on Solana. What this means for users:
All tokens that graduate from bonding curves now migrate instantly and for free to PumpSwap with no additional fees nor lost momentum.
50% of all PumpSwap trading fees are distributed back to those who launch tokens, making pump.fun the most creator-friendly launchpad onchain.
That’s not all. pump.fun has also expanded to mobile with the launch of their new app, bringing one-tap token creation and trading to an even broader global audience. Mobile-first UX, powered by Privy, is helping onboard the next generation of users – anytime, anywhere.
As pump.fun continues to scale, Privy is proud to support the wallet infrastructure powering this next wave of internet-native creativity.
We’re excited to keep working with teams like pump.fun to make crypto more accessible, more secure, and yes – more fun.
