HOW BOUNCE WORKS
bounce is a pump.fun launchpad with one mechanic: every token's creator fees are locked to a dedicated on-chain escrow at launch. The escrow uses those fees to buy dips, supporting the token, and burns the buys into the pump-swap LP. A deeper pool absorbs sells better.
1 · THE DEPLOY
You fill in your token's metadata on the deploy page, connect your wallet, and approve one deploy that does three things at once:
- Create. Your token is created on pump.fun with your dev buy in the same transaction, so nothing can be sniped ahead of you. You are the on-chain creator.
- Escrow funding. Your wallet funds a freshly generated escrow wallet with 0.05 SOL of gas.
- Fee lock. Pump's fee sharing config is set to route 100% of creator fees to the escrow. Pump locks the config permanently the first time it is set. After this, nobody can redirect the fees anywhere else. Not you, not us.
On most wallets this is a single atomic transaction, meaning the token cannot exist without its fees locked. Older wallets sign two transactions together, and a token only counts as live once the lock is verified on-chain.
2 · WHILE BONDING
Creator fees accrue while your token trades up the bonding curve, and our worker sweeps them into the escrow as they build. Nothing is spent during this phase. The stack just grows. The first buy happens on the first dip after the token bonds.
3 · MIGRATION
When the curve completes, pump.fun migrates the token to a pump-swap pool automatically. Our worker detects it on-chain and starts the bounce cycle. Nothing is needed from you.
4 · THE BOUNCE CYCLE
Every few minutes (default 3) the escrow runs one cycle: it claims whatever fees have accrued, then checks the market cap. The highest cap seen since the last bounce is the peak. When the current cap sits 20% or more below that peak, everything the escrow holds gets deployed:
- 45% buys the token on pump-swap, into the pullback.
- 45% + the bought tokens go into the LP 1:1 and the LP tokens are burned in the same transaction. That liquidity can never be withdrawn.
- 10% platform fee.
After a bounce the peak resets to the current cap, so the next bounce needs a fresh retrace from a fresh high. A short cooldown prevents back-to-back fires inside one wick. If the escrow is thin when a dip hits, it stays armed and fires once enough fees have stacked. Time-based claiming, dip-based spending: fees are gathered on a clock, but only spent where sellers pushed the chart down.
TRUST · TRUST MODEL
- The fee redirect is trustless. Enforced by pump's on-chain program and locked irrevocably at deploy. Verify any token: its sharing config lists exactly one shareholder, the escrow, at 10,000 bps with the admin authority revoked.
- The escrow is custodial. The platform operates the escrow wallets (keys encrypted at rest) to run the claims and the bounces. The escrow only ever holds fee income and its gas. Your dev-buy tokens stay in your wallet.
- Everything is auditable. Every bounce leg links its transaction, and LP burns are verifiable on any explorer. The LP mint's supply only ever shrinks.
FAQ · FAQ
What does deploying cost me?
Your dev buy (optional), 0.05 SOL of escrow gas, and normal network fees. The platform's cut is the 10% fee on each bounce, nothing upfront.
Why buy dips instead of buying on a timer?
A timed buyback spends fees when nobody needs them. A bounce spends them where sellers pushed the chart down, so the buy pressure lands where it is visible and the LP it burns deepens the pool for the next wave.
Can I get the creator fees back?
No. The lock is permanent by design. That is what makes the commitment credible to your holders.
What if the chart only goes up?
Then fees keep stacking in escrow, and the first real retrace meets a bigger bounce.
Who is the token creator on pump.fun?
You. Your wallet signs the create and shows as the creator. Only the fee routing points at the escrow.
