It’s frustrating when you look at a token — everything seems fine: there are holders, the idea is cool, the price is going up. You jump in with your SOL hoping for a pump, and a minute later the token crashes to zero.
That’s how most bundles on Pumpfun work. Beginners suffer the most because they don’t understand how exactly they’re being dumped on. Let’s break down how the software used by serial ruggers works:
1) First, a token is created and the dev buys up to 3% of the total supply.
2) Then a buy-up happens from several pre-prepared wallets. They might purchase a large chunk — 10–20% of the entire token supply. If the wallets are well-warmed, even Axiom won’t flag it as a bundle. It looks like real wallets are jumping in.
3) Next, the dev dumps their position. At this point, they check if there’s real demand — whether actual people are buying from the market.
4) If demand exists, the software kicks in. With one click, the entire supply is distributed across dozens of fresh wallets. The number of holders spikes, everything looks “organic.” You see 100+ holders, activity, a rising chart — and you start to believe it’s a legit project.
5) The next step is “warming up.” The same wallets start making buys for 0.2–2 SOL. You see the candles and growth — and FOMO kicks in. It feels like you’ve found the one token that’s really going to moon.
6) As soon as there’s enough retail interest, the token is dumped. Instantly. The software sells everything from all wallets in a fraction of a second. You don’t even have time to blink before you’re down 90%. And “enough” might just mean a 20k market cap or even after migration — everyone has their own appetite.
The truth is, 90% of the tokens in the new pairs tab were never meant to grow. It’s all just a well-staged performance. Pre-planned setups to drain money from regular traders.
That’s how bundles on Pumpfun work. Rumor has it that the entire market is run by just 5–10 cabals who decide which token will “fly” and which won’t.
