TL;DR: A winning Pump.fun strategy combines Volume Bot for leaderboard ranking with Bump Bot for front page visibility. Start with moderate settings at launch, scale based on competition, and add Holder + Maker bots for complete coverage. This guide covers the full journey from token launch to trending success.
The Goal: Pump.fun Leaderboard Visibility
Getting your token on the Pump.fun leaderboard requires strategic activity generation. Random bot usage wastes SOL. A planned strategy maximizes every transaction.
This guide covers:
- Pre-launch preparation
- Launch phase tactics
- Growth phase scaling
- Pre-migration optimization
- When to adjust settings
Let's build your complete Pump.fun strategy.
Phase 1: Pre-Launch Preparation
Before you start any bots, prepare properly.
Checklist Before Launch
| Item | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Wallet funded | Enough SOL for bots + buffer |
| Token deployed | Live on Pump.fun bonding curve |
| Mint address ready | Copy from Pump.fun token page |
| Competition checked | Know what trending tokens are doing |
| Budget planned | Decide spend limits per phase |
Budget Planning
Decide your total budget and allocate by phase:
| Phase | % of Budget | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | 40% | Initial visibility push |
| Growth | 40% | Sustain and scale |
| Reserve | 20% | React to competition |
Example: 5 SOL total budget
- Launch: 2 SOL
- Growth: 2 SOL
- Reserve: 1 SOL
Check the Competition
Before launching, visit Pump.fun and check:
- Current trending tokens - What's their volume?
- Front page tokens - How active are they?
- Time of day - Peak hours = more competition
This tells you what metrics you need to match or beat.
Phase 2: Launch Strategy (First 30 Minutes)
The first 30 minutes are critical. This is when you establish initial visibility.
Launch Stack: Volume Bot + Bump Bot
Run both simultaneously for maximum impact:
| Bot | Settings | Cost (30 min) |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Bot | 1,500-2,000 txns | ~0.75-1 SOL |
| Bump Bot | 150-200 BPM | ~2.25-3 SOL |
| Total | ~3-4 SOL |
Why Both Bots at Launch?
| Bot | What It Does | Immediate Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Bot | Trading volume | Leaderboard signal |
| Bump Bot | Transaction frequency | Front page visibility |
Volume Bot builds your ranking metrics. Bump Bot gets eyes on your token immediately.
Launch Settings Recommendation
Volume Bot:
- Transaction rate: 50-75 per minute
- Amount per cycle: 0.02-0.05 SOL
- Duration: 30 minutes
Bump Bot:
- BPM: 150-200 (moderate-aggressive)
- Duration: 30 minutes
Monitor During Launch
Watch these metrics:
- Front page position (are you visible?)
- Leaderboard movement (are you climbing?)
- Competitor activity (is someone outpacing you?)
Adjust in real-time if needed.
Phase 3: Growth Strategy (30 Min - 2 Hours)
After the initial push, transition to sustainable growth.
Reduce Bump Bot, Maintain Volume Bot
| Bot | Launch Settings | Growth Settings |
|---|---|---|
| Bump Bot | 150-200 BPM | 100-150 BPM |
| Volume Bot | 50-75/min | 30-50/min |
You've established visibility. Now maintain it efficiently.
Add Holder Bot
Now is the time to build credibility metrics:
| Bot | Settings | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Holder Bot | 200-300 holders | ~0.1-0.15 SOL |
Holder count signals legitimacy. Traders check this before buying.
Growth Phase Stack
| Bot | Configuration | Est. Cost/Hour |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Bot | 30-40 txns/min | ~1-1.2 SOL |
| Bump Bot | 100-150 BPM | ~3-4.5 SOL |
| Holder Bot | 100 holders | ~0.05 SOL |
| Total | ~4-6 SOL/hour |
When to Scale Up
Increase settings if:
- ✅ You're dropping off front page
- ✅ Competitors are outpacing you
- ✅ You have budget remaining
- ✅ Organic activity is picking up (compound it)
When to Scale Down
Decrease settings if:
- ✅ You're solidly on front page
- ✅ Competition is low
- ✅ Budget is running low
- ✅ Organic activity is sustaining position
Phase 4: Leaderboard Push
If your goal is top leaderboard positions, you need a focused push.
Leaderboard Ranking Factors
| Factor | Bot That Helps |
|---|---|
| Trading volume | Volume Bot |
| Transaction count | Volume Bot + Bump Bot |
| Unique holders | Holder Bot |
| Wallet diversity | Maker Bot |
Full Stack for Leaderboard
| Bot | Purpose | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Bot | Volume metrics | 50-75 txns/min |
| Bump Bot | Transaction frequency | 150-200 BPM |
| Holder Bot | Holder count | 300-500 holders |
| Maker Bot | Multi-wallet activity | 500-1,000 txns |
Leaderboard Push Budget
For a 30-minute concentrated push:
| Bot | Cost |
|---|---|
| Volume Bot (2,000 txns) | 1 SOL |
| Bump Bot (200 BPM × 30 min) | 3 SOL |
| Holder Bot (400 holders) | 0.2 SOL |
| Maker Bot (750 txns) | 0.375 SOL |
| Total | ~4.6 SOL |
Phase 5: Pre-Migration Optimization
As your token approaches bonding curve completion, optimize for migration.
Pre-Migration Goals
| Goal | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Strong volume metrics | Carries to DexScreener/Birdeye |
| High holder count | Shows community |
| Active trading | Attracts post-migration traders |
Pre-Migration Stack
Focus on Volume Bot and Holder Bot:
| Bot | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Volume Bot | HIGH | Volume metrics visible post-migration |
| Holder Bot | HIGH | Holder count carries over |
| Bump Bot | MEDIUM | Less critical near migration |
| Maker Bot | MEDIUM | Activity diversity |
Timing the Migration
Watch your bonding curve progress:
- 70-80%: Maintain current strategy
- 80-90%: Increase Volume Bot for final metrics push
- 90%+: Prepare to switch to AMM bots
Phase 6: Post-Migration (AMM)
Once your token migrates to Pumpfun-AMM/Raydium, switch tools.
Switch to AMM Bots
| Bonding Curve Bot | AMM Replacement |
|---|---|
| Pump.fun Volume Bot | AMM Volume Bot |
| Pump.fun Holder Bot | AMM Holder Bot |
| Pump.fun Maker Bot | AMM Maker Bot |
Note: Bump Bot is bonding curve only. No AMM equivalent needed - volume and maker bots handle visibility on DexScreener/Birdeye.

Common Strategy Mistakes
Mistake 1: All Budget at Launch
Wrong: Spend 5 SOL in first 15 minutes, nothing left.
Right: Allocate 40% launch, 40% growth, 20% reserve.
Mistake 2: Only One Bot
Wrong: Run Volume Bot only, ignore front page.
Right: Combine Volume Bot + Bump Bot for volume AND visibility.
Mistake 3: Ignoring Competition
Wrong: Set fixed rates regardless of market.
Right: Check trending tokens, match their metrics.
Mistake 4: Stopping Too Early
Wrong: Run bots for 15 minutes, stop, hope for organic.
Right: Sustain activity through growth phase until organic traction builds.
Mistake 5: No Reserve Budget
Wrong: Spend everything, can't respond when competitor surges.
Right: Keep 20% reserve for unexpected competition.
Monitoring Your Strategy

Pivot DOWN if:
- Solidly in top positions
- Low competition period
- Budget needs stretching
