How Do Fees Work?

At Pumper, we believe in keeping things simple and fair. This guide explains exactly how our fees work and what the rent is that you might notice on each trade.

One Simple Trading Fee

Every time you buy or sell a token, a 1.25% trading fee is applied to the full trade size, with a minimum of $0.30.

What Is “Rent” and Why Is It Included?

Rent is a mechanism of the Solana blockchain, not something created by Pumper.

On Solana, accounts holding tokens must reserve a small amount to remain active—this is referred to as rent. Without it, accounts can be deactivated, which can result in tokens becoming inaccessible.

To protect users, Pumper includes a $0.40 refundable rent deposit in every initial trade. This ensures your token account stays active and your position is always secure.

How Refundable Rent Works

That $0.40 is not a fee. It’s bundled into your trade and returned to you when you:

  • Sell your full token position, or

  • “Burn” the token if its market value drops below $0.40

Important: Rent is only refunded if you fully exit the position. Partial sells do not return rent.

Referrals: Everyone Wins

Using a referral code?

  • You get a 10% discount on the trading fee

  • The person who referred you earns 50% of your fee

  • Pumper retains the remaining 50%

No Separate Network Fees

Solana transactions cost a small fee — but Pumper covers all gas and priority fees (typically $0.10–$0.15) out of its own share.

What Happens if the Token Goes to $0?

If your token loses all value, you can still recover your rent.

Just click sell, and we’ll destroy the token and return your $0.40.

No lost rent. You’re always in control.

Why It’s Fair and Flexible

  • Solana rent handled for you – no lost tokens

  • Rent is refundable – on full exit only

  • Clear fees – just one line

  • No surprises – gas is covered

  • Referral rewards – both sides win
