Safety checklist before using the pumpfun website

Security is the biggest user pain in the pump fun crypto scene. This checklist helps you connect your pumpfun wallet and trade through PumpSwap without exposing seed phrases or getting caught by fake pools.

Verify the authentic pumpfun site

Always type the URL or use a clean bookmark. Clones often add hyphens or .net domains. If a page shows a “login” form, close it; PumpFun only requires wallet connect. Check SSL and compare contract addresses with trusted explorers.

Harden your wallet

• Use a burner wallet for meme coins; keep savings on hardware.
• Disable auto-approve except for small limits. This prevents blind signing.
• Update Phantom or your chosen wallet to the newest version before connecting.

Check liquidity and bonding curve risks

Thin liquidity can cause massive slippage on PumpSwap. Review pool depth and holder distribution. If you see a single wallet owning most supply, avoid trading. When in doubt, set low slippage and test with a micro swap.

Handle stalled swaps

Swap delays rarely mean funds are gone. Check transaction status on Solana explorers. If pending, wait before retrying. Switch RPC if the network is congested. Keep at least 0.05 SOL ready to re-submit failed swaps.

Common red flags

• Seed phrase requests anywhere on the pumpfun website flow.
• Direct messages offering “priority” PumpSwap routes.
• Unsigned JSON popups that are not normal transaction prompts.
• Contracts without source or social links.
