Pump.fun: up to $50 for new users on their first purchase, plus up to $50 per friend

Pump.fun is a platform where people launch and trade memecoins on Solana. Their app is running a referral promo right now: a new user can get up to $50, and so can the person who invited them.

Here’s how it works: the bonus is a match on your first purchase. You get back as much as you bought, up to $50. Spend $20 and the most you get is $20. Spend $50 or more and you can get the full $50.

Step by step

1. Sign up in the Pump.fun app using a friend’s referral link. Without it, the bonus won’t count.
2. Complete verification (KYC) if the app asks for it.
3. Check that the “Up to $50 match” banner shows up in your account.
4. Make your first purchase in the Cash section. It has a built-in payment provider: card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. To get the maximum, buy $50 worth with a little extra for fees.
5. Then you need 5 trading days within 10 days. A small trade a day is enough, even $1. The bonus unlocks in parts as you complete the days.

Important: the promo isn’t available in every country. According to user reports, it’s easiest for people who actually live in the EU: European bank cards work, as do Bybit Card, OKX Card and BingX Card. Ukrainian cards sometimes get declined. Your KYC documents must be genuine and match where you live.

Honest talk about risk

Memecoins are the most volatile thing in crypto. Tiny trades are enough for the promo, so don’t go in big hoping something will moon. Also note that since October 17 Pump.fun charges a 0.45% fee on trades on the site and in the app.

New to the platform? Here’s what Pump.fun is, in plain words.
