Introduction
"I ran holder bot and got 500 holders... but nothing happened."
This is the most common holder bot mistake: bad timing.
Running holder bot on an invisible token is like building a stadium in the desert. The seats are there, but nobody can find them. Your SOL is wasted because no traders see your improved metrics.
In this guide, I'll show you exactly when to run holder bot for maximum ROI—the optimal sequence, timing windows, and coordination with other tools.
The Golden Rule: Visibility Before Holders
Never run holder bot on an invisible token.
Why? Because holder count only matters when traders can see it:
| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Invisible token + 500 holders | Wasted SOL, no ranking improvement |
| Visible token + 500 holders | Credibility boost, organic buyers attracted |
The Visibility-First Sequence:
Step 1: Get Visible (Bump Bot) → Traders can find your token
Step 2: Build Credibility (Holder Bot) → Traders see healthy metrics
Step 3: Amplify Volume (Volume Bot) → Climb DexScreener
Step 4: Add Activity (Maker Bot) → Organic trading appearance
Critical insight: Holder bot is Step 2, not Step 1. Skip Step 1 and you've wasted your holder bot budget.
Optimal Holder Bot Timing Windows
Window 1: Post-Bump Bot Visibility (BEST)
When: 5-30 minutes after launch, bump bot running
Why: Maximum ROI—traders are actively looking at your token
Target: 300-500 holders in first push
Timeline:
0:00 - Launch token
0:01 - Start Bump Bot (300-500 BPM)
0:05 - Confirm front page visibility
0:05 - Start Holder Bot (100-500 HPM)
0:10 - Monitor holder count + trader reactions
Signal to start: Your token appears in Pump.fun's "Recently Active" or trending feed. At this point, Jumpbit's holder bot can add 500 holders per minute while traders are watching.
Window 2: Pre-Marketing Push
When: 1-24 hours before major promotion
Why: Credibility ready when traffic arrives
Target: 500-1,000 holders base
Use case: You're about to:
- Launch Twitter/X marketing campaign
- Partner with influencer (KOL post)
- Get listed on tracking sites
- Announce major partnership
Timeline:
T-24h: Run holder bot to 500-800 holders
T-12h: Verify holders showing on DexScreener/Solscan
T-0h: Launch marketing, traders see healthy metrics
Why it works: New visitors from marketing see established holder count, not 47 holders.
Window 3: Competition Response
When: Competitor is trending, you need to catch up
Why: Match or exceed competitor metrics
Target: Match competitor holder count + 20%
Scenario:
- Competitor has 800 holders, trending
- Your token has 200 holders, not trending
- Action: Run holder bot to 1,000 holders
- Result: Competitive positioning
Quick competitive analysis:
- Check competitor on Solscan (holder count)
- Note their volume and makers
- Target: Holders +20%, similar volume ratio
Window 4: King of the Hill Push
When: Attempting top Pump.fun position
Why: Holder count is ~20% of ranking algorithm
Target: 1,000-2,000+ holders (competition dependent)
King of the Hill Requirements:
- Bump Bot: 400-500 BPM (transaction recency)
- Volume Bot: Active (volume metric)
- Holder Bot: 1,000+ holders (credibility signal)
- Maker Bot: 200+ makers (unique trader signal)
Timing: Run all bots simultaneously during KoH push. Holder bot alone won't get you the crown.
Window 5: Bonding Curve Completion Push
When: 70-90% bonding curve progress
Why: Final credibility boost before graduation
Target: 1,500+ holders for graduation momentum
Why holders matter at graduation:
- Post-graduation, token moves to Raydium/PumpSwap
- Higher holder count attracts liquidity providers
- Signals strong community for AMM trading
- DexScreener gives visibility to graduated tokens with good metrics
When NOT to Run Holder Bot
❌ Don't Run: Before Visibility
Scenario: Token just launched, no bump bot, not on front page
Why not: Nobody can see your holders—wasted SOL
Fix: Run bump bot first, confirm visibility, then holder bot
❌ Don't Run: As a Substitute for Marketing
Scenario: "I'll just buy 5,000 holders and skip promotion"
Why not: Holders without activity = dead token appearance
Fix: Holders complement marketing, don't replace it
❌ Don't Run: After Bonding Curve Graduation
Scenario: Token graduated to Raydium, trying to run Pump.fun holder bot
Why not: Pump.fun holder bot only works on the bonding curve
Fix: Use Raydium/PumpSwap holder tools post-graduation
❌ Don't Run: When Metrics Are Misaligned
Scenario: 1,000 holders but only $200 volume
Why not: Creates suspicious metrics—looks like fake holders
Fix: Run volume bot simultaneously, maintain healthy ratios
Healthy ratio check:
- Holders : 24h Volume → 500 holders should have $10K+ volume
- Holders : Makers → 500 holders should have 100+ makers
Holder Bot Rate Strategies by Phase
Launch Phase (First 30 Minutes)
Rate: 100-500 HPM (aggressive)
Why: Speed matters during visibility window
Target: 300-500 holders
Settings:
- Rate: 300-500 holders per minute
- Buy amount: 0.0001-0.001 SOL (minimum for speed)
- Duration: 1-2 minutes
Growth Phase (Hours 1-6)
Rate: 30-100 HPM (moderate)
Why: Sustained growth looks organic
Target: 500-1,000 holders
Settings:
- Rate: 50-100 holders per minute
- Buy amount: Random 0.0001-0.0005 SOL
- Duration: 5-10 minute bursts
Maintenance Phase (Day 2+)
Rate: 10-30 HPM (low)
Why: Background growth, organic appearance
Target: Continuous slow growth
Settings:
- Rate: 10-20 holders per minute
- Buy amount: Random range
- Duration: Continuous or periodic

Timing Based on Competition Level
Low Competition (Off-Peak)
When: Late night (UTC), weekdays
Strategy: Lower holder targets acceptable
Target: 200-400 holders can trend
Recommended:
- Bump Bot: 200 BPM
- Holder Bot: 300 holders
- Total spend: ~5 SOL
Normal Competition
When: Regular market hours
Strategy: Standard thresholds
Target: 500-800 holders to compete
Recommended:
- Bump Bot: 300-400 BPM
- Holder Bot: 500-700 holders
- Total spend: ~10 SOL
High Competition (Peak Hours)
When: Bull market, major events, weekends
Strategy: Aggressive thresholds
Target: 1,000+ holders minimum
Recommended:
- Bump Bot: 500 BPM
- Holder Bot: 1,000-1,500 holders
- Total spend: ~20 SOL
Reading the Signs: When to Increase/Decrease
Signs to Increase Holder Bot Rate:
✅ Your token is visible but losing position to competitors
✅ Traders are commenting "low holders" or "needs more distribution"
✅ King of the Hill competition intensifying
✅ Marketing push starting and current holders low
✅ Competitor just added 500 holders
Signs to Decrease/Pause:
⏸️ Holder count significantly exceeds competitors (diminishing returns)
⏸️ Volume not keeping pace with holder growth (suspicious ratio)
⏸️ Budget running low—save for volume bot
⏸️ Token went invisible (bump bot stopped)—no point adding hidden holders
Quick Decision Framework
Is my token visible on Pump.fun front page?
├── NO → Run Bump Bot first, then return
└── YES → Continue below
What's my current holder count?
├── < 100 → Run Holder Bot aggressively (200-500 HPM)
├── 100-300 → Run Holder Bot moderate (100 HPM)
├── 300-500 → Check competition, add if losing
├── 500-1000 → Maintenance mode (20-50 HPM)
└── > 1000 → Focus on Volume + Maker bots instead
Is my holder:volume ratio healthy?
├── NO (holders >> volume) → Pause holders, run Volume Bot
└── YES → Continue holder growth as planned
Key Takeaways
- Visibility first - Never run holder bot on invisible tokens
- Bump bot → Holder bot - Always in this order
- Aggressive at launch - First 30 minutes matter most
- Moderate sustained - Long-term organic appearance
- Watch ratios - Holders without volume = red flag
- Competition aware - Match or exceed competitors
- Coordinate tools - Full stack beats single tool
