Prerequisites Checklist
Before buying tokens, make sure you have the following:- Supported Solana Wallet: An active, funded wallet using Phantom or Solflare.
- Adequate SOL Balance: Enough SOL to cover your purchase amount, the applicable Buy Fee, Solana network fees, and any selected transaction priority fee.
- Active Sale: The bonding curve sale must still be in the Live state.
Keep Enough SOL in Your Wallet
Buying tokens requires more SOL than the amount that ultimately becomes your net bonding curve sale contribution. Your wallet must have enough SOL to cover the purchase amount and the fees required to process the transaction.Total Wallet Balance Breakdown
Before buying, make sure your wallet can cover the following:1. Purchase Amount
The amount you enter in the purchase panel is the amount of SOL you are attempting to spend on the purchase. The purchase amount is subject to the current limits of the sale and your available wallet balance.2. Buy Fee
A Buy Fee is deducted from each bonding curve sale purchase. The remaining amount is used as the net bonding curve sale contribution for calculating the tokens allocated to your purchase. For the current Buy Fee and its authorized update range, see Protocol Fees.3. Solana Network Transaction Fees
Your wallet also needs enough SOL to pay the Solana network fees required to process the transaction. These are separate from RugFreePump protocol fees.4. Transaction Priority Fee
If you select a transaction priority level, an additional Solana priority fee is included with your transaction. The priority fee is a network fee and is separate from the RugFreePump Buy Fee.Open the Sale Page
You can discover bonding curve sales through RugFreePump and open the sale page for the coin you want to purchase. Each sale has its own dedicated sale page. The sale page displays the current state of the bonding curve sale and provides the interface for purchasing tokens. Before purchasing, confirm that the sale is Live.Sign In and Connect Your Wallet
You can explore sale pages without connecting your wallet. However, you must connect and authenticate your wallet before buying tokens. RugFreePump currently supports:Connect Your Wallet
When connecting for the first time, your wallet extension or mobile wallet will request permission to connect. Approve the connection request to continue. Connecting allows RugFreePump to identify your public wallet address. It does not give RugFreePump access to your private keys.Sign the Login Message
After connecting your wallet, you may be asked to sign a login message.- Purpose: The signature proves that you control the connected wallet.
- Safety: The login signature is used for authentication and does not transfer SOL or tokens.

Understand the Bonding Curve Sale
RugFreePump bonding curve sales use a pricing curve where the token price changes as the sale progresses. As more tokens are purchased and the sale raises more funds, the purchase price generally increases. This means the number of tokens allocated to your purchase for a given amount of SOL can change as other users purchase tokens. The purchase calculation uses the applicable SOL/USD price when the transaction is processed.Fixed Token Supply
Every RugFreePump bonding curve sale has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. The supply is divided between:- 800 million tokens: Available through the bonding curve sale.
- 200 million tokens: Reserved for liquidity after a successful migration.
Understanding Sale Statuses
The state of the sale determines whether you can purchase tokens and what happens to your contribution afterward.Live
A Live sale is active and accepting purchases. While a sale is Live:- You can purchase tokens if you meet the purchase requirements.
- The bonding curve pricing model continues to determine the token price.
- The sale progress can increase as users purchase tokens.
- The remaining sale lifetime continues to count down.
- The sale can eventually become Completed or Expired.
Completed
A Completed sale has reached its hard cap before its lifetime expired. A Completed sale no longer accepts bonding curve purchases. The sale then enters the liquidity migration stage.Liquidity Migration Pending
After the sale becomes Completed, the pool creator is given an approximately 60-minute migration reminder period to prepare for liquidity migration. The creator can still initiate migration after this period ends. During this period, it is normal for the liquidity to remain unmigrated. The timer does not automatically migrate the liquidity, expire the sale, cancel the sale, or make your contribution withdrawable. If the creator completes migration, the sale becomes Migrated. If the timer expires without migration and you experience delays or concerns, contact RugFreePump support so the situation can be reviewed.Migrated
A Migrated sale has successfully completed liquidity migration to Raydium CPMM. The bonding curve sale is no longer active. The liquidity pool has been created using the sale’s raised funds and the tokens reserved for liquidity. The liquidity-provider tokens are automatically burned as part of the migration process. After migration, the tokens are available for public trading through the created Raydium liquidity pool. After a successful migration, buyers can claim their purchased tokens based on the sale’s selected token sale model. Token Unlocked (TU) purchases become fully claimable immediately, while Token Locked (TL) purchases become claimable gradually according to the sale’s unlock schedule. For more information, see Claiming Purchased Tokens. A Migrated sale does not become withdrawable through the bonding curve withdrawal process.Expired
An Expired sale is a sale whose lifetime ended before reaching its hard cap. An Expired sale does not proceed to liquidity migration. If you contributed SOL to an Expired sale, you can use the withdrawal process to recover your contributed SOL. For more information, see Withdrawing Contributed SOL.Canceled
A Canceled sale is an exceptional state used when a sale is canceled through an authorized cancellation mechanism. Canceled sales do not proceed to liquidity migration. If you contributed SOL to a Canceled sale, you can withdraw your contributed SOL through the withdrawal process. For more information, see Withdrawing Contributed SOL.The normal lifecycle is:Live → Completed → MigratedA sale can instead become:Live → ExpiredCancellation is an exceptional outcome and is not part of the normal sale lifecycle.
Configure Your Purchase
Once your wallet is connected and the sale is Live, the purchase panel allows you to configure your transaction. The panel displays information such as:- Your current wallet balance
- The SOL amount you want to spend
- Reset
- Max
- Max Slippage
- Transaction Priority
- The estimated number of tokens allocated to your purchase
Purchase Amount
Enter the amount of SOL you want to use for the purchase. The amount you enter represents the purchase amount before the Buy Fee is deducted. The estimated token amount shown in the purchase panel is based on the current sale price and applicable SOL/USD price. Because the bonding curve price can change as the sale progresses, the final token amount is determined when the transaction is processed.Reset
Select Reset to clear the entered purchase amount. You can then enter a different amount.Max
Select Max to automatically set the purchase amount to the maximum amount currently permitted. Max considers both your wallet balance and the current purchase limit imposed by the sale.- If your wallet balance is lower than the current maximum permitted purchase amount, Max uses your available wallet balance.
- If your wallet balance is greater than the current maximum permitted purchase amount, Max uses the exact maximum amount currently permitted by the sale.
Set Max Slippage
Max Slippage controls how much the final purchase conditions are allowed to differ from the expected purchase conditions before the transaction is rejected. RugFreePump allows a slippage setting between 0% and 50%.0% Slippage
A setting of 0% requires the transaction to execute at the exact expected purchase conditions. This provides the strictest protection against price movement but can cause the transaction to fail if the sale changes before the transaction is processed.Higher Slippage
A higher slippage setting allows a greater difference between the expected and final purchase conditions. This can reduce failures caused by price movement, but it also means you accept a wider range of execution conditions. If the sale moves beyond your selected slippage tolerance, the transaction fails instead of executing outside the limit you specified.Select Transaction Priority
RugFreePump provides three fixed transaction priority options.
Higher priority levels are intended to give the transaction greater processing priority over transactions using lower priority levels.
These priority tiers are fixed and are not dynamically adjusted based on network conditions.
The priority fee is a Solana network fee, not a RugFreePump protocol fee.
Buy Tokens
After configuring your purchase amount, slippage, and transaction priority, select Buy to begin the purchase. The purchase process proceeds through several stages.Step 1: Prepare the Transaction
After selecting Buy, RugFreePump prepares the purchase transaction using your selected purchase settings. You will see a status such as:Preparing The Transaction…Keep the sale page open while the transaction is being prepared.
Step 2: Approve the Transaction
After the transaction is prepared, your wallet will request transaction approval. The sale page will show:Waiting For Transaction Approval…Review the transaction in your wallet and approve it if everything is correct. Do not approve a transaction you don’t understand or didn’t intentionally initiate.
Step 3: Wait for Transaction Confirmation
After you approve the transaction, RugFreePump waits for it to be confirmed on Solana. The sale page will show:Waiting For Transaction Confirmation…Keep the page open while it confirms.
Step 4: Purchase Completed
Once the transaction confirms successfully, your purchase is complete. The purchased tokens are recorded under your wallet address and remain held in the sale’s token account until they become available to claim after successful liquidity migration. Your contribution is reflected in the sale’s raised amount and contribution records.If You Cancel the Transaction
If you reject the wallet request, the transaction does not complete. Your intended purchase is not executed. If the transaction fails during simulation or execution, the purchase may also not complete. Depending on when the transaction was processed, Solana network fees or selected priority fees may still be charged even when the purchase itself does not succeed. If the transaction fails, review the displayed error and make sure:- Your wallet has enough SOL.
- The sale is still Live.
- Your purchase amount is within the current permitted limits.
- Your selected slippage is appropriate for the current sale conditions.
- Your transaction settings are correct.
After Your Purchase
After a successful purchase, the tokens you bought are recorded under your wallet address but are not immediately transferred to your wallet. The purchased tokens remain held in the sale’s token account until the sale successfully completes liquidity migration. You can then claim them according to the selected token sale model. The sale page updates to reflect your contribution and the new sale progress. Your purchase may affect:- The current bonding curve sale price
- The remaining amount available before the hard cap
- The sale progress
- The total tokens sold
- The total number of buyers
- The contribution history
