PumpSwap mechanics from bonding curve to pool

The PumpSwap interface sits downstream from the pumpfun website. Tokens originate on PumpFun bonding curves; once enough liquidity accumulates, they enter pools accessible through PumpSwap. This page breaks down how liquidity forms, how slippage is calculated, and how to keep your pumpfun wallet aligned with swaps.

Liquidity creation

On PumpFun, each buy pushes price higher on the curve. A portion of funds is reserved for initial liquidity. When thresholds are met, the system or project team seeds a pool. That pool becomes discoverable by PumpSwap. If you hold early tokens, you can now trade them without waiting for centralized listings.

Slippage and routing

PumpSwap estimates price impact based on pool depth and your order size. Start with 1–2% slippage; only go higher when pools are thin. Because pump fun crypto trades are on Solana, confirmations are quick, but failed swaps still cost time. Adjust slippage in small increments and watch the minimum received field.

Wallet connection and approvals

Keep the same pumpfun connect wallet session alive. Switching wallets mid-trade can break approvals. Phantom and Solflare cache your choice, so when you open PumpSwap the wallet picker should not prompt again. If it does, confirm the URL and reconnect.

Best practices

• Swap smaller chunks first to verify routing.
• Track gas: maintain at least 0.05 SOL to cover retries.
• Verify token addresses; do not rely on ticker names alone.
• Bookmark the homepage to revisit the high-level process.
