Funnel

How Funnel works.

Launch a coin on pump.fun and pay with SOL or almost any other crypto. Read it top to bottom, or jump to an entry.

What Funnel is

Funnel launches a coin on pump.fun for the Solana wallet you connect. You fill in the coin, choose a dev buy, pay, and the coin goes live.

That wallet gets 95% of the coin's creator fees, the tokens from your dev buy and any SOL left over. Funnel gets the other 5%. The only thing you ever paste is a refund address, and only when you pay from another chain.

A launch, step by step

  1. Connect your wallet and fill in the coin: name, ticker, image, description and links.
  2. Choose a dev buy and what you pay with.
  3. Send the exact amount to the deposit address shown, or sign once if you pay with SOL.
  4. Solvers turn your payment into SOL. This step is skipped when you pay with SOL.
  5. Funnel's launcher wallet sends the launch transaction: it creates the coin and buys your dev buy.
  6. The coin is live. Tokens and leftover SOL are in your wallet.

Creator fees: 95% yours

Every pump.fun coin earns creator fees on its trades. For a coin launched here, pump.fun's fee sharing is set in the launch to 95% to your connected wallet and 5% to Funnel. The split is locked when the coin is created: nobody can change it afterwards.

Creator fees are paid by pump.fun under its own rules. Funnel doesn't control them.

Paying with SOL

One transaction, one signature. There is no swap and no waiting. The new coin's key co-signs it, and Funnel sends only the exact transaction it built.

The launch and the dev buy land together, or not at all. If it fails, only the Solana network fee is spent.

Paying with any crypto

Funnel asks NEAR Intents' 1Click for a quote: exactly the SOL your launch needs, delivered to the launcher. You get a one-time deposit address on your chain, the exact amount and a countdown. Send from any wallet or exchange.

Solvers compete to fill your swap. Funnel checks the quote matches what it asked for (the amount, the launcher as recipient, your refund address) before it shows you an address. If less arrives, the tracker says the deposit is incomplete and what is missing. USDC or USDT on Solana also go through 1Click, from your connected wallet with one signature.

Paying with a token you hold

Hold a Solana token? Pick it in Your wallet. Funnel builds two transactions that your wallet approves together: a Jupiter swap of your token to the SOL the launch needs, then the launch.

The swap goes first; if it fails, nothing launches. If the launch doesn't land after the swap, the SOL stays in your wallet and you can retry. A swap that would give too little is refused, not sent. Tokens Jupiter can't route are listed but can't be picked, with the reason.

Refunds

Your money moves forward to your launch, or back to you.

  • Filled: your coin launches.
  • Not filled by the deadline: 1Click sends your payment back to your refund address, on the chain you paid from. SOL and Solana tokens go back to your connected wallet.
  • Nothing arrives by the deadline: the order expires and nothing moves.
  • SOL arrived but the launch failed three times: the order is marked failed and Funnel refunds it by hand.

What a launch costs

Example
Dev buy1.0000 SOL
Launch overheadup to 0.02 SOL
Swap, when you pay cross-chainabout 1%
Funnel launch feenone

The overhead pays rent and network fees; whatever isn't used comes back. Funnel earns 5% of creator fees instead of a launch fee. The exact amount to pay is shown before you pay.

The Swap panel

The header's Swap button opens a panel over any page. It swaps any coin for any other, on any chain, without launching anything. From a Solana token you hold it takes one signature; from another chain you send to a one-time deposit address.

The quote shows the rate, the minimum you receive, the fees and the usual time. Each swap has its own tracker, listed under My launches. One that can't fill by its deadline is refunded to your refund address.

Your coin's page

Every coin launched here gets a page at /coin/<contract address>, set as the coin's website in its metadata. It has the live chart, a buy and sell panel (one signature per trade), recent trades, top holders and how full the bonding curve is. When the curve fills, the coin graduates to a PumpSwap pool and keeps trading there.

Reading the tracker

Awaiting deposit
The deposit address is open, with the exact amount and a countdown.
Incomplete deposit
Less than the exact amount arrived. Top it up before the deadline.
Swapping
Your payment arrived and solvers are turning it into SOL. Bitcoin waits for block confirmations first.
Launching
The SOL reached the launcher and the launch transaction is going out.
Live
Your coin is on pump.fun. Tokens and leftover SOL are in your wallet.
Refunded
The swap couldn't fill, so your payment went back to your refund address.
Expired
Nothing arrived before the deadline. Nothing moved.
Failed
The launch didn't land after three tries. This is rare; the order is refunded by hand.

Limits

  • Timing. Cross-chain launches usually take about 1 to 3 minutes. Bitcoin is slower. Congestion can slow any of them.
  • Minimums. Each coin you can pay with has its own. The launch form tells you before you pay.
  • No undo. A live coin can't be changed or removed, and its creator can't be changed.
  • No price promises. Meme coins are highly speculative and most lose their value. Launch only what you can lose.
  • pump.fun's terms (§6.1 and §21) limit bots and launching for others. Funnel launches each coin for the wallet that asked for it.

Read the terms.

Before your first launch

  • You are on the real Funnel site. It never asks for your seed phrase.
  • The connected wallet is the one you want paid.
  • Your refund address is your own, on the chain you pay from.
  • You will send the exact amount, once, before the countdown ends. Exchanges may send in parts or late; a wallet you control is safer.
  • You have read the costs and limits above.

Words you'll see

1Click
NEAR Intents' swap API. Funnel asks it for a quote; solvers then compete to fill your swap into SOL.
Bonding curve
How a new pump.fun coin is priced before it graduates. The price rises as people buy and falls as they sell.
Contract address (CA)
Your coin's mint address on Solana. Wallets, charts and traders find your coin with it.
Creator fees
A share of every trade on a pump.fun coin. For Funnel coins it is split 95% to your wallet and 5% to Funnel, locked at launch.
Deadline
How long a deposit address stays open. If the swap hasn't filled by then, your payment is refunded.
Deposit address
A one-time address made for your launch on the chain you pay with. Send the exact amount shown, once.
Dev buy
The SOL spent buying your own coin in the launch transaction. The tokens go to your wallet.
Graduation
When a coin's bonding curve fills and it moves to a PumpSwap pool.
Jupiter
Solana's swap aggregator. It turns a token you hold into SOL (or another Solana token) on the best route.
Launcher wallet
Funnel's wallet that receives the swapped SOL and sends the launch transaction. It only spends what your deposit paid for.
Metadata
Your coin's name, ticker, image, description and links, pinned to IPFS. Its website field is your coin's Funnel page.
Mint
The account that defines a token on Solana. Funnel makes a new one per launch and reuses it on every retry, so a coin is created once.
Overhead
Rent and network fees the launch needs, up to 0.02 SOL on top of your dev buy. Whatever isn't used comes back.
pump.fun
The Solana launchpad your coin is created on. Funnel uses its public on-chain program.
Refund address
Your own address on the chain you pay from. Used only if the swap can't fill.
Solver
A market maker on NEAR Intents that fills your swap. Solvers compete, which keeps the rate tight.
Swap panel
The panel the header's Swap button opens: any coin on any chain for any other, with no Funnel fee.
Ticker
Your coin's short symbol, up to 13 characters.
