How to play Popnpump
New coins, live. Ride the pump, pop before the drop. You can learn the game in about thirty seconds, with free practice SOL and no sign-up.
The thirty-second version
- Tap a bubbleYou are in. A ticket opens at the price right now.
- Tap it againPop! The ticket closes and you cash out.
- Press and holdSee the coin's numbers: buyers, money in and out, the launch, the chart.
- Play for real (optional)Make a wallet, add SOL, flip LIVE.
Every ticket starts at about −4 %: that is the fees. Climb past 0 and you are green.
Read a bubble
Every bubble is a new coin our scanner caught drawing a crowd. One rule covers the colours: a bubble's colour is always the colour of its big number, and brighter means further.
- Green: up since it landed on the board.
- Red: down since it landed.
- Grey: flat, within 1 %.
- Amber: only on a coin you hold. You are still paying back the fees.
A bubble grows when the coin is worth more than when it landed and shrinks when it is worth less. A warm glow means momentum right now. The small chip on top is the last 30 seconds. Once you are in, the big number becomes your own result after all fees, marked YOU.
The tags
- HOTthe strongest momentum on the board.
- NEWbig wallets bought in the coin's very first block.
- EARLYa crowd forming seconds after launch.
- WAKEan older coin climbing again.
- SETUPbuyers lead, the coin is near its high, and real money is in.
- !a shaking bubble: the coin's creator or a launch bundler sold. Careful.
The other signs
- The thin gold arc shows how far the coin is toward graduating off its launch curve. A full circle is graduation.
- The thin bar under the number is the pressure: the share of the last minute's wallets that bought (green) against the ones that sold (red).
- Gold coins dropping in: buyers just put money in. Red coins flying out: sellers took money out.
- The people number: how many wallets hold the coin, read from the chain.
A bubble leaves the board when its coin goes quiet. A coin you hold always stays. Inside the game, Read the board shows every colour and sign at a glance.
The 4 % wall
Every % we show is after all fees. A coin has to climb about 4 % after you get in before you are green. The ring around your bubble shows it: amber while it charges up to the fees, green once they are paid, red while the coin is under your entry.
| Paid on each buy and each sell | About | Goes to |
|---|---|---|
| Trading fee | 1.25 % | the coin's launch curve on pump.fun |
| Network cost | 0.2 % | the Solana network |
| Popnpump's fee | 0.5 % | Popnpump (half of it to whoever invited you, if anyone did) |
| One side | about 1.95 % | |
| In and out | about 3.9 % | why a ticket starts at about −4 % |
Practice tickets pay the same fees in practice SOL, so a practice result reads like a real one.
Ways to pop
- Tap the bubble again, or tap its ticket. POP ALL cashes out every ticket at once.
- Auto sell pops a ticket by itself at +5, +10, +15 or +20 % after fees.
- Stop loss does the same on the way down, at −5 to −20 %.
- Lock in profit pops a ticket that is up after fees as soon as it stops making new highs for a moment. It is on by default, from +3 % and a half-second stall, and you can change both.
- Go again on a coin you hold adds another ticket on it, up to five.
You can hold up to 8 coins at once. MY BOARD lets you choose which coins your board shows (big crowds, whale launches, creators who still hold) and how many bubbles, without typing a single number.
Playing for real
- Make a walletAbout a minute, in your browser. You get 12 secret words, shown once. Write them down: they are the only key to the wallet, and we never see them.
- Link Google (optional, recommended)So you can find your wallet's address on any device and get your invite link.
- Add SOLWith a card through MoonPay's own site, from an exchange, or from another wallet. The game shows your address with a QR code and tells you when the SOL arrives.
- Flip LIVEA tap now buys at once from your own wallet, 0.02 to 0.25 SOL per tap. The ticket shows when the chain confirms it.
Every real trade, what it cost and how far the price was allowed to move are listed under the person icon, Trades. If a coin you hold graduates, its ticket gets a graduation cap and you sell it like any other.
With real money, most fast trades on new coins lose. The fees are paid on every trade, win or lose. Practise first, keep tickets small, and play only with what you can afford to lose.
Trader know-how
- Wait for green, then protect it. Decide where you pop before you get in.
- Don't chase. A coin already up 50 % is often someone else's exit.
- Respect the ! The creator sold, a bundler sold, or a wave of sells hit.
- Momentum is short. Seconds to a minute. Take small wins.
- Most coins fade. About 1 in 4 doubles before it halves. Keep tickets small.
