The rules
Short version: hold 10 minutes, sell at a loss, get the whole loss back from the coin's fees. The long version is below. Every number here is the one the code uses.
What's covered
- Any buy of a coin launched on Bounceback, on the pump.fun curve or on PumpSwap after it graduates, from any app, bot or terminal.
- A buy is covered once you've held it 10 minutes. Each buy has its own timer.
- When you sell covered tokens for less than you paid (fees included), that's a loss. We refund 100% of your net loss in SOL.
How a loss is worked out
- Sells use your oldest tokens first. The cost of a buy is everything that left your wallet for it, pump.fun fees included. A sell counts what actually arrived.
- Net loss is per wallet, per coin: covered losses minus every win on that coin, held long or not. Win back later and what's owed goes down with it.
- At most 5 SOL of net loss counts per wallet per coin.
What isn't covered
- Buys in the first 10 seconds after launch. Those are snipes.
- The deployer's own wallet, on its own coin.
- Tokens that arrived by transfer. They count as free, so selling them can only ever be a win.
- Tokens you transfer out. They leave your position without a loss, the most expensive first, so moving tokens around can't create a refund.
- Losses you never realize. Only sells count, not a red chart.
Where the money comes from
- Every coin is launched with the Bounceback reserve as its pump.fun creator, so 100% of its creator fees go to that coin's refund pool. The deployer earns nothing from fees.
- pump.fun's creator fee is 0.30% of every trade on the curve, and a smaller rate after graduation. So a pool grows with volume, not with time.
- If a pool can't cover everyone owed, everyone gets the same share of what they're owed, and the rest follows as the coin keeps trading. We never pay out more than a pool holds.
How you get paid
- Automatically. No claim, no form, no signing. The worker runs every 5 minutes, indexes every trade, collects the fees and sends SOL to the wallet that sold.
- Refunds under 0.001 SOL wait until they grow. One wallet receives at most 2 SOL in 24 hours; anything above rolls over.
- Every refund is a public Solana transaction, linked on the site.
