How to Increase Unique Makers on Pump.fun: 5 Proven Methods

Introduction

Your Pump.fun token has 47 unique makers. The token above you on DexScreener has 600.

You're running volume bot. They're running maker bot.

Same effort. Different results.

In this guide, I'll show you 5 proven methods to increase your unique maker count—from organic strategies to automated tools—and explain when to use each approach.


Why Unique Makers Matter (Quick Recap)

Before diving into methods, here's why maker count matters:

  • DexScreener Trending Score weights unique makers as a key factor
  • Trader Trust - Low maker count looks like wash trading
  • Algorithm Signals - High maker diversity = organic appearance
  • Visibility Thresholds - Many traders filter out tokens with <100 makers

For a deep dive, see Why Unique Makers Matter for DexScreener Rankings.


Method 1: Maker Bot (Fastest)

Speed: Up to 500 makers/minute
Cost: ~0.005-0.013 SOL per maker
Best for: Rapid maker growth, competitive trending

How It Works

A maker bot automates the process of:

  1. Creating fresh Solana wallets
  2. Funding each wallet with SOL
  3. Executing a buy transaction
  4. Executing a sell transaction
  5. Repeating with new wallets

Each wallet becomes a unique maker on-chain.

When to Use Maker Bot

✅ You need 500+ makers quickly
✅ Competing for DexScreener trending
✅ Your maker-to-volume ratio looks suspicious
✅ You have budget (~5-15 SOL for 500-1000 makers)

Setup Steps

  1. Connect wallet to Jumpbit Maker Bot
  2. Enter your token's mint address
  3. Choose trade amount (fixed or range)
  4. Set maker rate (up to 500/min)
  5. Set duration
  6. Deploy and monitor dashboard

Pro Tips

  • Use range mode (e.g., 0.001-0.01 SOL) for natural variation
  • Start at 100-200/min for organic-looking growth
  • Run alongside volume bot for balanced metrics
  • Don't burst all at once - spread over 10-30 minutes

Method 2: Holder Bot (Two Birds, One Stone)

Speed: Up to 500 holders/minute
Cost: ~0.007 SOL per holder
Best for: Growing BOTH makers AND holders

How It Works

Here's what many don't realize: Holder bots also increase maker count.

When a wallet buys your token:

  • It becomes a holder (owns tokens)
  • It becomes a maker (executed a trade)

One action, two metrics boosted.

When to Use Holder Bot for Makers

✅ You need both holder AND maker growth
✅ Budget is limited (better value per SOL)
✅ Pump.fun credibility is also important
✅ You want permanent holders, not just activity

Maker Bot vs Holder Bot for Makers

Aspect Maker Bot Holder Bot
Maker increase +1 per cycle +1 per cycle
Holder increase 0 (sells back) +1 (keeps tokens)
Cost per maker ~0.005-0.013 SOL ~0.007 SOL
Best for Pure maker growth Maker + holder growth

Verdict: If you need ONLY makers, use maker bot. If you need BOTH, holder bot gives more value.


Method 3: Coordinated Community Buying

Speed: Variable (depends on community size)
Cost: Coordination effort
Best for: Organic-looking growth with real wallets

How It Works

Organize your community to:

  1. Each person uses their own wallet
  2. Everyone buys at scheduled time
  3. Some hold, some trade—both count as makers

Execution Strategy

Example: 50-person coordinated buy

Time 0:00 - Group A (15 people) buys
Time 0:05 - Group B (15 people) buys
Time 0:10 - Group C (20 people) buys

Result: 50 new unique makers in 10 minutes

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • 100% organic wallets
  • Real community engagement
  • No bot detection risk
  • Free (no tool costs)

Cons:

  • Limited scale (need actual people)
  • Coordination overhead
  • Unpredictable execution
  • Can't repeat at will

Best Used For

  • Launch events
  • Milestone celebrations
  • Combining with bot activity for authenticity
  • Building genuine community metrics

Method 4: Influencer/KOL Campaigns

Speed: Variable (hours to days)
Cost: Influencer fees ($50-$5000+)
Best for: Organic makers + broader awareness

How It Works

When an influencer promotes your token:

  • Their followers buy (new makers)
  • Buys come from diverse, real wallets
  • Side benefit: awareness, holders, volume

Finding the Right Influencers

Look for:

  • Solana/Pump.fun focused accounts
  • Engaged followers (not just follower count)
  • Previous successful calls
  • Reasonable pricing

Expected Maker Impact

Influencer Size Typical New Makers
Micro (1-10K followers) 10-50
Mid (10-50K followers) 50-200
Large (50K+ followers) 200-1000+

Combine with Bots

Smart strategy: Run maker bot BEFORE influencer post.

Why? When influencer's followers check DexScreener, they see healthy maker count already. Social proof compounds.


Method 5: Airdrop to Active Traders

Speed: Depends on claim rate
Cost: Token allocation + gas
Best for: Attracting active wallets

How It Works

  1. Identify active Solana traders (via on-chain data)
  2. Airdrop small token amounts
  3. When they sell (or buy more), they become makers

Finding Active Wallets

Sources:

  • Recent Pump.fun traders
  • DexScreener active pairs
  • Birdeye volume leaders
  • Public airdrop tools

Conversion Rate

Not everyone will interact:

  • Typical claim rate: 10-30%
  • Typical trade rate: 5-15%

Airdrop to 1000 wallets → ~50-150 new makers

Pros and Cons

Pros:

  • Attracts real, active traders
  • Can create ongoing trading activity
  • Builds initial distribution

Cons:

  • Low conversion rate
  • Requires token allocation
  • Complex execution
  • May attract dumpers

Optimal Strategy: Stack Multiple Methods

The most successful Pump.fun tokens don't rely on one method—they stack:

Launch Day Strategy

Hour 0-1: Maker Bot (500 makers)
Hour 1-2: Holder Bot (300 holders/makers)
Hour 2-4: Influencer posts go live
Hour 4+:  Organic growth + maintenance bot runs
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Ongoing Maintenance

Daily: Maker bot at 50-100/hour during peak times
Weekly: Coordinated community events
Monthly: Influencer refreshes
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Budget Allocation Example (20 SOL)

Method Allocation Expected Makers
Maker Bot 10 SOL ~700-800
Holder Bot 5 SOL ~700 (also holders)
Influencer 5 SOL ~100-300
Total 20 SOL ~1500-1900

Common Mistakes When Growing Makers

Mistake 1: Only Running Volume Bot

Volume bot reuses same wallet. Your volume grows but maker count stays flat.

Fix: Add maker bot specifically for unique wallet growth.

Mistake 2: Bursting All Makers at Once

1000 makers in 2 minutes looks unnatural. May trigger algorithm skepticism.

Fix: Spread maker generation over 15-60 minutes at 100-200/min.

Mistake 3: Ignoring Maker-to-Volume Ratio

High makers + low volume looks weird. Low makers + high volume looks like wash trading.

Fix: Balance both metrics. Run volume bot alongside maker bot.

Mistake 4: Stopping After Initial Push

Maker count plateaus. Competitors catch up. Ranking drops.

Fix: Continuous low-rate maker generation (20-50/min) for maintenance.

Mistake 5: Not Tracking Results

Running bots blindly without checking DexScreener impact.

Fix: Monitor DexScreener maker count before/after. Adjust strategy based on results.


How to Track Your Maker Growth

DexScreener

  1. Go to dexscreener.com
  2. Search your token
  3. Check "Makers" column
  4. Note: Updates every few minutes, not real-time

Solscan

  1. Go to solscan.io
  2. Enter token address
  3. View "Holders" and recent transactions
  4. Each unique trading wallet = maker

Birdeye

  1. Go to birdeye.so
  2. Search token
  3. Check "Traders" analytics
  4. Shows unique wallet activity over time

Key Takeaways

  1. Maker bot is fastest - 500 makers/minute, ~0.005-0.013 SOL each
  2. Holder bot gives double value - +1 maker AND +1 holder per buy
  3. Organic methods work but don't scale - Community buys, influencers
  4. Stack multiple methods - Best results come from combining approaches
  5. Spread over time - Don't burst; gradual growth looks more natural
  6. Balance with volume - Maker-to-volume ratio matters for credibility
