How Pumpster works

Pumpster is a token-launch and launch-support platform built on Pump.fun. Selected launches receive Pumpster-owned Support Capital, public founder vesting, a branded contract address ending in pster and creator-fee routing that repays the protocol before the creator is paid.

01Overview

Pumpster is not simply a token-creation interface. For selected launches, Pumpster deploys its own SOL, acquires and fully owns a support position, retains creator fees until the relevant repayment target is settled, and applies public vesting and exit rules.

The objective is to support real builders who may not have launch capital, while protecting Pumpster capital, creating clear founder accountability and giving token holders transparent information they can verify on-chain.

Pumpster is not a pump-and-dump product, a price-support promise, an investment product or a guaranteed-return mechanism.

  1. 1Anyone can create a launchPay the 0.30 SOL Creation Fee, accept the terms, receive a branded CA.
  2. 2Approved launches receive Support CapitalPumpster-owned SOL buys tokens into a Pumpster Support Vault. Never into the creator's wallet.
  3. 3Creator fees repay the protocol first100% of eligible creator fees route to the Repayment Vault until the Repayment Target is settled.
  4. 4Then the creator is paid95% of every claim to the Creator Fee Wallet, 5% to Pumpster Treasury.
  5. 5Everything is publicVaults, vesting schedules, fee routing, support positions and exit rules are verifiable on-chain.

02Core principles

  • Pumpster uses Pump.fun as the underlying token-launch infrastructure.
  • Anyone can submit or create a launch; only approved launches receive Pumpster Support Capital.
  • Tokens acquired with Pumpster Support belong exclusively to Pumpster and are never placed in the creator's wallet.
  • Founder allocation, Founder Purchase tokens and the Pumpster Support Position are always separate.
  • Founder allocation is subject to public, mandatory vesting.
  • Creator fees are retained by Pumpster until the Repayment Target is settled. If the target is not met by the end of Day 31, retention continues until the outstanding balance is fully recovered.
  • After full repayment, creator fees are split 95% to the creator and 5% to Pumpster Treasury.
  • Every Pumpster Verified Launch must use a branded contract address ending in pster.

03Launch types

TypeWho, support and requirements
Open LaunchAny user. No Pumpster Support. Creation Fee, baseline disclosure and safety requirements.
Verified Builder LaunchApproved builders and teams. Pumpster Support. Application, wallet disclosure, vesting, accepted launch terms and Day-31 policy.
Partner LaunchStrategic partners and product teams. Higher support tier. Due diligence, roadmap, stronger metrics and bespoke terms.

Before a Verified Builder Launch, the creator accepts Pumpster's ownership of its Support Position, the creator-fee routing and repayment rules, the Day-31 review and exit policy, the founder vesting requirements, founder wallet disclosure and the branded contract-address requirement.

04Creation Fee

Pumpster Creation Fee: 0.30 SOL
0.30 SOL → Pumpster Treasury / Operations Vault

The fee is paid before the token-creation flow begins and is non-refundable once branded CA generation starts. It is separate from Support Capital, the Support Position, Founder Allocation, Founder Purchase, creator-fee repayment and the post-repayment split. Paying it does not guarantee approval for Support Capital. The fee transaction is shown on the public token page.

It funds product development, frontend, backend, API and database infrastructure, vanity-mint generation, transaction preparation and automation, security monitoring, token pages, dashboards, on-chain analytics and launch-review operations.

05Support Position

Pumpster may provide a Launch Advance in SOL to an approved launch. The capital acquires tokens during the Pump.fun bonding-curve flow. Those tokens go directly to a dedicated Pumpster Support Vault. This is not a dev buy, not a founder allocation and never sent to the creator's wallet.

TierLaunch Advance · Repayment Target · profile
Starter1–3 SOL · Advance + 10% · early builder or community
Builder3–10 SOL · Advance + 15% · verified team with product and roadmap
Partner10+ SOL · Advance + 20% · established product or strategic launch

Pumpster uses fixed SOL support by tier rather than promising a fixed percentage of supply. Before launch it displays the SOL amount, Protocol Fee, Repayment Target, maximum slippage and maximum Support Position as a percentage of initial supply. The token page then displays the SOL actually deployed, the exact token amount acquired and the effective percentage of supply held.

The creator has no ownership, transfer, claim, voting, staking or selling right over the Support Position. It is Pumpster collateral for capital deployed, market volatility and launch risk, and may only be held, gradually sold, locked, burned or otherwise used under the public protocol policy.

06Creator-fee repayment

Repayment Target = Launch Advance × (1 + Protocol Fee)

Launch Advance: 5 SOL
Protocol Fee: 15%
Repayment Target: 5.75 SOL

From launch until the end of Day 31, eligible creator fees route to the Pumpster Repayment Vault. If the target has not been reached by then, Pumpster continues retaining eligible creator fees until the entire outstanding balance is settled.

Retained fees cover, in order
1Original Pumpster Launch Advance
2Agreed Protocol Fee and capital-deployment risk
3Token volatility and market-exposure risk borne by Pumpster
4Operating costs required to manage the supported launch
5Infrastructure: vault management, security, automation, dashboards, monitoring, transaction costs and support
If Day-31 Repayment Progress < 100%:
    100% of eligible creator fees → Pumpster Repayment Vault
    until the Repayment Target is fully settled

Once settled:
    95% of creator fees → Creator Fee Wallet
    5% of creator fees → Pumpster Treasury

The 5% Treasury share may fund operations, security, launch-support reserves, builder grants, buyback or burn initiatives or other disclosed treasury policies. It is never communicated as a guaranteed return to token holders.

ParameterRule
Minimum cliff30 days, 0% unlocked
Maximum unlock1.5% of initial total supply per rolling 30-day period
Unlock methodLinear monthly vesting or programmed tranches
Post-launch amendmentNot permitted
TransparencyPublic vesting link and schedule

Example: a 30% founder allocation needs at least 20 monthly unlock periods after the cliff. All founder-controlled wallets are declared before launch and cannot be changed or supplemented secretly. Mint and other authorities are disclosed and, where required, revoked. Hidden minting, honeypots, mutable hidden taxes, abusive transfer controls and hidden blacklists are prohibited. Vesting cancellation exists only for pre-disclosed fraud or material-breach cases.

08Founder Purchase

After Pumpster executes its support purchase, the creator may optionally buy a limited position directly from Pumpster: up to 2.00% of initial supply across all Founder Purchase transactions combined. Inventory sits in a separate Founder Purchase Reserve Vault, never mixed with Support collateral.

Founder Purchase Price = Allocated Pumpster Cost Basis + 10% Founder Purchase Fee + Direct Execution Costs
Minimum Transfer Price  = Allocated Cost Basis × 1.10 + Direct Execution Costs

Reserved amount: 1.00% of supply
Allocated cost basis: 2.00 SOL   Fee 10%: 0.20 SOL   Execution: 0.01 SOL
Total founder payment: 2.21 SOL
StructureRule
A. Immediate Founder Buy (default)Choose an amount up to 2% during the launch flow and pay in full before transfer.
B. Delayed Founder Purchase (premium)Fully prepaid reservation with a fixed claim window (7, 14 or 30 days). Unclaimed reserves are handled strictly under the disclosed terms.
DeliveryDirect Wallet Delivery (marked as an additional founder-controlled position) or Founder Purchase Vesting: 30-day cliff, ≤ 1.5% of supply per rolling 30 days.

An unpaid or partially paid optional reservation would give the creator a free option while Pumpster bears the downside, so it is not offered.

09Day-31 review and exit

For the first 31 days Pumpster holds its Support Position and does not sell, except in a Security Exit caused by fraud, a rug attempt, an exploit or material security incident, undisclosed supply or minting, a hidden founder-controlled wallet, a vesting bypass attempt or a material breach of launch terms.

StatusCondition · consequence
HealthyMeets repayment, activity and security criteria · Pumpster keeps its position under the long-term policy
WatchlistBelow target but legitimate building verified · one extension of 15–30 days may be granted
ExitFails objective requirements with no meaningful progress · gradual exit from Pumpster's own position
Security ExitFraud, exploit or material breach · immediate protective action under the launch terms
Example Builder Launch criteria
Day-31 repayment threshold: 25% of Repayment Target
Minimum cumulative volume: configured by tier
Minimum builder updates: 4 during the first 31 days
Security compliance: mandatory

Maximum Daily Sell = min(0.25% of initial total supply, 5% of rolling 24-hour volume)
  • Maximum daily sale configurable between 0.25% and 0.50% of initial supply.
  • Maximum trade size based on current liquidity and volume; maximum slippage 2%–5%.
  • Automatic pause below defined liquidity and volume thresholds.
  • Every sale publicly recorded: token amount, execution price, SOL recovered, remaining Support Vault balance.
  • No full-market dump, no undisclosed manual sale, founder-locked tokens never sold in a performance exit.
  • Creator-fee retention continues while a repayment balance is outstanding, even during an orderly exit.

10Branded contract address

Every Pumpster Verified Launch uses a token mint address ending exactly in pster. Tokens without the suffix cannot be displayed as Verified Launches or receive Support Capital, except under a disclosed exceptional policy.

  • Treasury and Support Vault controls use a multisig, never a hot wallet: 2-of-3 initially, 3-of-5 for larger treasuries.
  • Every supported token has a separate Support Vault and Founder Purchase Reserve Vault.
  • Public vault addresses and explorer links appear on every token page.
  • Sensitive treasury movements use approval rules and timelocks where feasible.
