What you see depends on your country and phone. SOL or crypto sent from a wallet or exchange doesn't count. Not available in the UK.
Steps
- Choose an app: fomo on a phone, or a terminal such as Axiom on desktop.
- Fund it with SOL (or USDC). On fomo you can also use Apple Pay or a card.
- Copy the token's contract address from the project's own channel, not from a reply or DM.
- Paste it into our rug checker: check mint/freeze authority, top holders and liquidity.
- Buy a small amount first. Keep slippage modest; very high slippage gets you filled at bad prices.
- Plan your exit: set a take-profit or stop-loss, and test a small sell.

Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest way to buy meme coins on Solana?
It depends on size. fomo charges 0.50% (with size bands on small Solana orders) and most terminals 1%, per their docs; see the cost table.
Do I need SOL to buy Solana meme coins?
Usually yes, for the trade and network fees. fomo covers Solana network costs and accepts card or Apple Pay.
How do I avoid fake tokens?
Use the contract address from the project's official channel and check it in a rug checker before buying.
Signed up but waiting on first deposit?
Nothing is paid until your first purchase through the Deposit button in the pump.fun app (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or another method the app shows). SOL or other crypto sent from an exchange or wallet does not count. The 10-day window starts when that deposit is confirmed: trade on 5 different days (UTC) inside it, and keep the purchased funds in the wallet until the last payout.
