How it works
A coin starts on a curve its creator shapes. When the curve fills, the whole raise opens a PumpSwap pool in one block and the LP is burned. The shape and the range decide how much SOL ends up in that pool.

1The curve fills
A coin starts on Meteora's bonding curve, in the shape and range its creator picked. Every buy adds SOL to the raise.
- PumpSwap pool opens at the curve's end price
- The whole raise goes in
- The LP is burned
2One bundle moves it
Our bot does all three in a single Jito bundle, so they land in the same block, usually 1 to 3 seconds after the curve fills.
3It trades on PumpSwap
With the LP burned, nobody can pull the liquidity, us included, and the LP share of PumpSwap's trading fee stays in the pool. Trade it on Axiom, Padre or GMGN.
Where the 1% curve fee goes
Every trade on the curve pays 1%. Up to 60% of it goes into the coin's own pool at graduation, 20% to Meteora for its curve, and the rest to pumps.fun. Creating a coin costs about 0.033 SOL in rent and Metaplex's fee; we add nothing to it. After graduation, trades pay PumpSwap's own fees.
Why the pool opens deeper
Linear. Price rises evenly as coins sell. From $2.4k to $35.5k it leaves 34.8% of the market cap in the pool. pump.fun's curve, over the same range, leaves 20.6%.
pump.fun sells every coin on one fixed curve: slow for a long time, then steep. Most of its coins are sold cheap, so little SOL is left to stand behind the price when it graduates.
Here the creator picks the shape and the range. A curve that rises earlier sells its coins at higher prices, raises more SOL for the same end market cap, and all of it opens the pool.
