FAQ
Is creating a token free?
Section titled “Is creating a token free?”Yes. Pumpfun doesn’t charge a deployment fee for token creation. You only need a small amount of SOL (~0.02 SOL) for Solana network transaction fees. When your token graduates to the PumpSwap AMM, Pumpfun pays you 0.5 SOL.
What does SHIP MY TOKEN charge?
Section titled “What does SHIP MY TOKEN charge?”SHIP MY TOKEN takes 20% of creator trading fees. These are the fees that Pumpfun’s Project Ascend gives to token creators based on trading volume. You keep 80%. This is configured on-chain at token launch.
There are no upfront costs or subscription fees.
How much can I earn?
Section titled “How much can I earn?”It depends on your token’s trading volume. At the peak fee tier (~$35k–$123k market cap), Pumpfun gives creators 0.95% of every trade. You keep 80% of that. For example, $10,000 in daily trading volume at the peak tier earns you roughly $2,280/month. See Why Launch a Token? for a full revenue table.
What are creator trading fees?
Section titled “What are creator trading fees?”Pumpfun charges a dynamic fee on every trade. A portion goes to the token creator. The rate depends on market cap:
- Pre-graduation (bonding curve): 0.30% of trade volume
- ~$35k – $123k market cap: 0.95% of trade volume (peak tier)
- $123k – $8.2M: sliding scale, decreasing from 0.90% to 0.05%
- Above $8.2M: 0.05% of trade volume
These fees accumulate on-chain and must be claimed. SHIP MY TOKEN handles claiming and distribution automatically.
Is my private key safe?
Section titled “Is my private key safe?”Your private key is generated locally on your machine and never transmitted anywhere. Transactions are signed locally and submitted directly to the Solana network. No third-party service ever sees your key. See Wallet Backup for details.
What agents does SHIP MY TOKEN work with?
Section titled “What agents does SHIP MY TOKEN work with?”SHIP MY TOKEN works with any AI agent that supports the Agent Skills standard: Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, OpenClaw, and more. Install it with npx skills add jcoulaud/shipmytoken-skill --all, and your agent will pick it up automatically.
What is token graduation?
Section titled “What is token graduation?”When a token is launched on Pumpfun, it starts on a bonding curve. As people buy tokens, SOL accumulates. When approximately 85 SOL has been raised (~793M tokens sold), the token “graduates”. It migrates from the bonding curve to the PumpSwap AMM, a full decentralized exchange.
After graduation, the token trades on a full AMM with deeper liquidity, and Pumpfun pays the creator 0.5 SOL.
Can I split fees with my team?
Section titled “Can I split fees with my team?”Yes. You can split your 80% share with up to 9 other wallets (10 total including SHIP MY TOKEN). Just tell your agent who gets what percentage. See Fee Sharing.
What is mayhemMode?
Section titled “What is mayhemMode?”mayhemMode is a Pumpfun SDK parameter. SHIP MY TOKEN sets it to false by default for standard token launches. It’s not relevant for most users.
Can I launch multiple tokens?
Section titled “Can I launch multiple tokens?”Yes. Each token gets its own mint address and fee sharing configuration. Your portfolio view shows all tokens.
What if my machine goes offline?
Section titled “What if my machine goes offline?”- Daily recaps: Missed cron runs are skipped. The next run catches up with cumulative data.
- Fee accumulation: Fees keep accumulating on-chain whether your machine is on or not.
- Token status: Your token continues trading on Pumpfun regardless of your machine’s status.
Can I update my token after launch?
Section titled “Can I update my token after launch?”Token name, symbol, and image are immutable on-chain after creation. You can update fee sharing at any time via chat. Social links (Twitter, Telegram, Website) are stored in the metadata and cannot be changed after IPFS upload.
What RPC endpoint does SHIP MY TOKEN use?
Section titled “What RPC endpoint does SHIP MY TOKEN use?”By default, SHIP MY TOKEN uses Solana’s public RPC endpoint (api.mainnet-beta.solana.com). You can set a custom endpoint by configuring the SOLANA_RPC_URL environment variable for the skill. Using a dedicated RPC (Helius, QuickNode, etc.) is recommended for production use to avoid rate limits.
