Graduation

The transition from Pump.fun's bonding curve to a live AMM pool (PumpSwap since March 2025). Requires roughly 85 SOL in buy pressure; LP tokens are automatically burned. Approximately 0.63% of launches graduated in September 2025. Graduation is the minimum threshold of survival, not evidence of quality.

Tokenomics Bonding Curve Pump.fun's pre-graduation pricing mechanism where price moves deterministically as supply is purchased. The curve requires roughly 85 SOL in buy pressure to complete, bringing the market cap to approximately $69,000. Only 0.63% to 1.4% of curves complete. → Tools PumpSwap Pump.fun's in-house AMM launched March 2025. Replaced Raydium as the destination for bonding-curve graduations. LP tokens are burned automatically on migration, closing the hard rug vector. Post-migration price action is determined by existing holders selling, not by LP structure. → Tokenomics LP Token A token representing a share of an AMM liquidity pool. Burning LP tokens permanently locks the pool, eliminating the hard rug attack vector. Pump.fun automatically burns LP tokens at graduation — this is the protocol default, not a developer virtue signal. →
