Pump.fun and Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain is where much of 2026's meme coin action moved, and Pump.fun did not want to miss it. Since July 2026 the Pump.fun app lets you buy and sell Robinhood Chain tokens straight from your Solana balance, with no manual bridge.
What it does not do is launch coins there. Robinhood Chain coins are created on that chain's own launchpads.
How to buy a Robinhood Chain token on Pump.fun
- 1Open the Pump.fun app and sign in. Funds sit in the Solana wallet the app gives you.
- 2Find the Robinhood Chain token, by name or by pasting its contract address (it starts with 0x).
- 3Buy as you would a Solana coin. The app routes the trade across chains for you through Pump Bridge; you do not bridge ETH yourself.
- 4Check what you received. Cross-chain buys land a little below the quoted price; Pump.fun's own test put the median at about 3% below spot.

Where Robinhood Chain coins are launched
Launches happen on Robinhood Chain itself. The biggest launchpad is Pons, with its own bonding curve, snipe protection and creator fees; others include hood.fun, NOXA Fun, LetsCash and Pools.trade (Uniswap Labs). The mechanics differ from Pump.fun: gas is paid in ETH, and Pons V2 charges a 99% buy tax in the first five seconds that falls to zero to stop snipers.

Before you buy
Robinhood Chain coins are as risky as fresh Solana coins, with a cross-chain hop on top. Check the contract address on the token's launchpad, look at who holds the supply, and expect to receive a few percent less than the quoted price on cross-chain buys.
Launching on Solana instead?
SolBundler creates your coin on Pump.fun, Bonk or Bags and buys it from 20+ of your own wallets in the same block. Free to sign up; 1% on trades.
