Pump.fun is the dominant Solana bonding-curve memecoin launchpad — it auto-creates the mint, runs price discovery on a bonding curve, and graduates to a Raydium pool when 85 SOL of buy-side liquidity accumulates. The fee model is 0.02 SOL upfront then 1% on every buy and 1% on every sell forever. The articles below cover when Pump.fun is the right choice (low upfront cost, virality fit, no need for authority customization), when it's the wrong choice (cumulative trade volume above ~$700, branded launches, post-launch control), and how to launch on Pump.fun specifically if you've decided it fits.

Read them together and you get the full picture for this part of the launch, not an isolated how-to.
