🚨 Rule #1: ONE WebSocket connection for ALL subscriptions

PumpPortal WS (wss://pumpportal.fun/api/data) bans clients who open multiple connections. Always:

• Open ONE connection
• Send all subscribe messages on that single connection
• Reconnect on disconnect — never open parallel connections

See references/streaming.md for pattern.

🚨 Rule #2: pick the right trading mode

PumpPortal Lightning (POST /api/trade?api-key=KEY):

• PumpPortal signs & submits your transaction
• 0.5% fee per trade on top of pump.fun's fees
• Routes through dedicated Solana nodes + SWQoS + Jito bundles automatically
• Use for: quick prototypes, trading bots where latency doesn't need absolute minimum

PumpPortal Local (POST /api/trade-local):

• Returns a serialized unsigned transaction
• You sign with your own wallet + submit via your own RPC
• No additional fee beyond network / Jito
• Use for: production bots, when you want full control over RPC, signing, keys

Rule of thumb: Local if you're serious, Lightning if you're testing. For sniping: Local + Helius Sender + Jito bundle.

🚨 Rule #3: jitoOnly: true for competitive landing

On creations (first N blocks after mint) competition is fierce. Set jitoOnly: true on the trading call → PumpPortal routes exclusively through Jito bundles. Higher landing rate during mempool congestion.

For very competitive snipes: skip PumpPortal entirely, build tx locally, submit via Jito block engine directly (see jito-skill for bundle mechanics).

Core concepts (memorize these)

Token supply (per pump.fun token)

• Total: 1,000,000,000 (1B, fixed)
• On bonding curve: 793,100,000 (79.31%)
• Reserved for migration: 206,900,000 (20.69%, seeds the AMM pool on graduation)

Bonding curve progress formula

progress_pct = 100 - (((tokens_in_curve - 206_900_000) * 100) / 793_100_000)

At 100% → token migrates to PumpSwap (or sometimes Raydium depending on era).

Price discovery

Constant-product AMM with virtual reserves. Initial launch reserves (classic values):

• Virtual SOL: 30
• Virtual tokens: 1,073,000,000

price = (virtualSol + realSol) / (virtualTokens + realTokens)

Non-linear — early buyers win most.

Step-by-step workflow

1. Identify the task

• Real-time stream → PumpPortal WS
• One-off trade → Lightning (fast) or Local (full control)
• Bot with repeated trades → Local + own RPC + Jito tips
• Historical analysis → Dune tables
• Single-wallet creator analysis → Helius getTransactionsForAddress filtered by program

2. Pick the right API See "Data access options" in references/mechanics.md for the decision matrix.

3. Setup

• Get PumpPortal API key at https://pumpportal.fun/ (required for Lightning, not for Data/Local)
• Ensure SOLANA_RPC_URL is set (see solana-rpc-skill) — Local API + own signing requires your own RPC

4. Execute

• Streaming: async WebSocket client (see examples/ws_monitor.py)
• Trading (Lightning): simple httpx POST
• Trading (Local): request unsigned tx, sign with solders/web3.js, submit via RPC

5. Handle failures

• PumpPortal WS disconnects: reconnect, resend all subscribes
• Trade rejected: check slippage + priorityFee, raise both if sniping hot coin
• Jito bundle failed: retry with higher tip (see jito-skill)

Common patterns

Sniper bot (new token creation → auto-buy)

WS subscribeNewToken
  ↓ event received
Local API: request unsigned buy tx
  ↓
Sign with hot wallet
  ↓
Submit via Helius Sender OR Jito bundle
  ↓ (if Jito) include tip to JitoFeeAccount

Full example: references/examples/sniper_bot.py.

Copytrade (mirror KOL trades)

WS subscribeAccountTrade keys=[KOL1, KOL2, ...]
  ↓ KOL bought token X
Local API: request buy for same mint
  ↓ (optional) wait N ms to let KOL's tx land
Submit your buy

Example: references/examples/copytrade_watcher.py.

Migration watcher

WS subscribeMigration
  ↓ event received: token X migrated to PumpSwap
→ Optionally trade on PumpSwap (use solana-rpc-skill or Jupiter)

Example: references/examples/migration_watcher.py.

Historical analysis via Dune

-- Tokens created per day last month with final market cap
SELECT date_trunc('day', block_time) AS day,
       COUNT(*) AS tokens_created
FROM pumpdotfun_solana.pump_evt_create
WHERE block_time >= NOW() - INTERVAL '30' DAY
GROUP BY 1
ORDER BY 1

Error & edge cases

• "Bonding curve not initialized" — token doesn't exist yet or instruction called before create
• "Insufficient liquidity" — tried to buy/sell more than curve can support; reduce amount
• "Slippage exceeded" — curve moved during tx build → submit; retry with higher slippage
• Token already migrated — stops being tradeable on bonding curve after 100% progress; use pool: "pump-amm" or pool: "auto"
• WS 403/disconnect — likely hit rate limit or opened multiple connections; wait, reconnect on single conn only
