Terms of use

These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of makers.fun (“the operator”). They cover the website at makers.fun, its API and the market-making service behind them (together, “the Service”). The risk disclosure is part of these terms. The docs describe how the Service works.

Last updated

The short version

  • You keep your own wallet. The operator holds the keys of every maker’s wallets and signs with them by your settings.
  • Apart from trades and the fees in section 6, SOL leaves a maker only for its owner wallet, which can never change.
  • Market making can lose money, and you can lose everything in a maker. Nothing here is advice.
  • No wash trading, manipulation, fraud or impersonation, and no unlawful coin metadata.
  • The Service can stop or pause, and the operator’s liability is limited.

This summary helps you read the terms; the numbered sections below are what apply.

1.1

By connecting a wallet, signing in, launching a coin, creating a maker or otherwise using the Service, you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.

1.2

If you use the Service for an organisation, you accept these terms for it and confirm that you may.

2.1

You must be at least 18 and old enough to enter a binding contract where you live.

2.2

You may not use the Service if you are, or act for, a person on a sanctions list (including those kept by the United Nations, the European Union, the United Kingdom and the United States), or a person located, organised or resident in a country or region under comprehensive sanctions.

2.3

You must follow the laws that apply to you, including laws on tokens, trading, market making, securities, taxes and sanctions. Part of what the Service does may be restricted or illegal where you are. Checking that is your responsibility, and if it is, you must not use the Service.

2.4

The operator may refuse or limit access for anyone, in particular to comply with the law.

3.1

The Service lets you launch a coin on pump.fun from your own wallet with a market maker attached; create a market maker (a “maker”) for a pump.fun coin launched elsewhere; set and change a maker’s settings; pause, withdraw from, liquidate or close a maker; and see public information about makers.

3.2

A maker is a set of Solana wallets (a treasury and one or more trading wallets) whose keys the operator’s server holds. The operator’s software (“the engine”) claims creator rewards for coins launched through the Service, moves SOL between the maker’s wallets, and buys and sells the coin automatically by the settings the maker’s owner chooses, as the docs describe.

3.3

The Service does not hold your own wallet’s keys, does not give investment, financial, legal or tax advice, and does not run pump.fun, Solana, any wallet or any RPC provider. It does not choose your coin or your settings, and it makes no promise about any price, volume, liquidity, profit or result.

3.4

The docs describe how the Service works today. They are a description, not a commitment, and the Service may change. Where the docs and these terms differ, these terms apply.

4.1

Your wallet. You connect your own Solana wallet and sign with it. The operator never has its keys and cannot move its funds. Keeping it safe, including its seed phrase, is your responsibility. The operator will never ask for your seed phrase or private key.

4.2

Maker wallets are custodial. The operator creates and holds the keys of every maker’s treasury and trading wallets on its server, encrypted. They are hot wallets: online, so the engine can sign. By launching a coin or creating a maker, you authorise the operator’s software to sign transactions with those keys to carry out the maker’s settings and your requests.

4.3

Where SOL goes. Apart from trades on pump.fun, the Service sends SOL out of a maker only to the maker’s owner wallet, to the maker’s own wallets, and to the operator’s platform wallet for the fees in section 6. The owner wallet is the wallet that created the maker. It cannot be changed. If you lose access to it, the operator cannot send the maker’s funds to any other wallet.

4.4

The Service has no way to export a maker wallet’s keys.

4.5

Funds in maker wallets are not bank deposits. No government scheme or insurer protects them.

5.1

You choose the coin, the funding and every setting, and you can change them at any time. The engine applies them as the docs describe; it does not judge whether they are wise.

5.2

Requests to withdraw, liquidate or close are carried out on the engine’s next passes, subject to the market, the network and the limits in the docs. Sales happen at market prices, which can be far from the price you last saw.

5.3

Blockchain transactions can fail, expire or land late. The operator follows each one to a final state but cannot make the network accept any transaction.

6.1

Share of creator rewards. For each coin launched through the Service, the launch transaction locks a fee split on pump.fun that sends the platform’s share of the coin’s creator rewards to the operator’s platform wallet. You see the share before you sign. Once launched, neither you nor the operator can change it.

6.2

Profit fee. The operator may take a share of realized market-making profit. The current rate, which may be zero, is shown in the docs. A change applies only to profit realized after it takes effect.

6.3

Third-party costs. pump.fun’s trading fees, Solana network fees and account rent are paid from your wallet or from the maker’s wallets. Third parties set them and can change them.

6.4

Taxes. Any taxes on your use of the Service are yours to report and pay.

7No advice, no promised outcome

#Link to “No advice, no promised outcome”
7.1

Nothing on the Service is investment, financial, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any token or to use any setting. Presets and defaults are starting points.

7.2

Market making can lose money. Memecoins are highly speculative, and most lose most or all of their value. The operator does not promise any return, price, volume or liquidity, and the past results of any maker say nothing about its future.

8.1

You may not use the Service to:

  1. manipulate a market, including wash trading, spoofing, layering, pump-and-dump schemes, or creating a false or misleading appearance of activity, demand, price or holders;
  2. run makers from several wallets you control on the same coin so that they trade with each other, or otherwise get around the rule that a maker’s wallets never trade against each other;
  3. commit or assist fraud, scams, rug pulls, phishing or theft;
  4. impersonate any person, company, project or brand, or suggest an endorsement that does not exist;
  5. launch a coin whose name, ticker, image, description or links are unlawful, infringe someone’s rights, sexualise minors, incite violence or hatred, or deceive buyers;
  6. launder money, finance terrorism or evade sanctions;
  7. break any law that applies to you or to the operator;
  8. attack, probe, overload or reverse-engineer the Service, get around its limits or security, or reach anything you are not allowed to.
8.2

If the operator believes a use breaks this section or the law, it may hide the coin or the maker from the Service, refuse launches, pause the maker, end your access and report the matter to the authorities. None of this sends a maker’s SOL anywhere but its owner wallet, unless the law requires otherwise.

9Your content and coin metadata

#Link to “Your content and coin metadata”
9.1

You are responsible for the name, ticker, image, description and links of any coin you launch (“coin metadata”), and you confirm that you have the rights to them.

9.2

Coin metadata is published to pump.fun and IPFS and written to the Solana blockchain. Once a coin is launched, nobody can change or delete it, including you and the operator.

9.3

You allow the operator to store, copy and display your coin metadata on the Service for as long as the Service shows the coin.

9.4

The operator may hide any coin from the Service’s lists and pages, for example coin metadata that breaks section 8. Hiding it does not remove it from pump.fun, IPFS or the blockchain.

10Availability and changes to the Service

#Link to “Availability and changes to the Service”
10.1

The Service comes with no uptime commitment. It can be slow, unavailable or degraded, and the engine can stop or pause, for maintenance, outages at Solana, pump.fun or RPC providers, security, legal reasons or errors.

10.2

While the engine is not running, nothing trades: no take-profit, no stop-loss, no claims and no payouts.

10.3

A deployment of the Service can run in dry run, where the engine simulates transactions and sends none, or on devnet, with test SOL. The site shows a Dry run or Devnet label when either applies. Nothing that happens in dry run or on devnet is a real trade.

10.4

The operator may change, add or remove features, limits and supported venues. Where a change affects what a maker does with your SOL, the docs will describe it.

11.1

The Service depends on services the operator does not control, including the Solana network; pump.fun and its programs, including its bonding curve, PumpSwap and fee sharing; RPC providers; wallet software; IPFS and pinning services; price sources for SOL; and explorers such as Solscan. Their failures, changes, fees, rules and administrative powers can affect your coin and your maker, and the operator is not responsible for them.

11.2

pump.fun can change its programs, fees and rules at any time, including in ways that stop claims or trades or change how a coin’s fee split works.

12.1

You have read the risk disclosure and accept those risks, including losing all of the SOL and tokens in a maker.

13.1

The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”. To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator makes no warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, security, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

13.2

The Service’s software has not been audited by a third party.

14.1

To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator and the people who build and run the Service are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, tokens or SOL, arising from or related to the Service, under any legal theory, even if told such loss was possible.

14.2

To the fullest extent the law allows, the operator’s total liability for all claims related to the Service is limited to the fees the operator received from your coins and makers in the 12 months before the claim arose.

14.3

Some places do not allow some of these limits. There, they apply as far as the law allows. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited, such as liability for fraud.

15.1

You will indemnify the operator, and the people who build and run the Service, against claims, losses, liabilities and costs, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your use of the Service, your coin metadata, your breach of these terms, or your breach of any law or of anyone’s rights.

16.1

The operator may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version. Where it can, the operator announces material changes on the Service before they take effect.

16.2

If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Service and close your makers.

17Suspension, termination and the end of the Service

#Link to “Suspension, termination and the end of the Service”
17.1

You can stop at any time. Closing a maker sells its positions and pays its SOL to its owner wallet.

17.2

The operator may suspend or end your access if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect the Service or other users.

17.3

If your access ends, a maker’s SOL still goes only to its owner wallet, unless the law requires the operator to hold or report it.

17.4

If the operator decides to stop the Service, it will announce this on the Service in advance and keep processing withdrawals and closes for a reasonable period, where it can lawfully and technically do so.

17.5

Sections 4.3, 6.4, 7, 9 and 12 to 19 survive the end of these terms.

18.1

Before starting a formal dispute, contact the operator and try in good faith to settle it informally for at least 30 days.

19.1

These terms, with the risk disclosure, are the whole agreement between you and the operator about the Service.

19.2

If a court finds part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term is not a waiver of it.

19.3

You may not transfer your rights under these terms. The operator may transfer its rights to whoever operates the Service after it.

20.1
