Volume Bot Settings Guide — Optimal Configuration for Pump.fun 2025

A volume bot keeps your token alive. Without sustained volume, Pump.fun's algorithm buries your token in minutes. But misconfigured volume bots burn through your SOL budget and get detected. Here's the optimal configuration.

Why Volume Matters

Pump.fun's front page algorithm ranks tokens by recent volume. A token doing 10 SOL/hour consistently shows higher than one that did 100 SOL once and went quiet. Volume creates the illusion of activity, which attracts real buyers.

Optimal Amount Per Trade

Use 0.05-0.2 SOL per volume trade. Larger trades move the price too much and cost more in fees. Smaller trades look suspicious (too many micro-transactions). Random variation between 0.07-0.15 SOL per trade looks most organic.

Interval Settings

Minimum interval: 30 seconds (below this looks robotic). Optimal: 45-90 seconds random interval. Never use fixed intervals — on-chain pattern detection tools flag regular-interval trading immediately. SolBundler uses randomized intervals automatically.

Budget Planning

Volume bot cost estimate: 0.1 SOL per trade average × 1 trade/minute × 60 minutes = 6 SOL/hour in trade amounts, plus ~0.01 SOL fees per trade. A 2-hour volume push costs approximately 12-13 SOL. Budget accordingly.

When to Run Volume Bot

Start volume bot immediately after launch. Run for minimum 2 hours to establish chart pattern. Pause during natural volume spikes (real buyers create organic volume). Resume when real volume drops below 2 SOL/hour.
