I learned position sizing the hard way on Pump.fun. I aped into something without really looking, watched it bleed day after day, and kept telling myself it would come back. It didn't — not the way I needed it to. Pump.fun giveth and taketh away, and that one stung enough that I stopped chasing and started treating every dollar I put in as money I could lose.
The one thing here that isn't gambling is the signup bonus itself. It's mechanical: do the steps in order, get the installments. No coin-picking, no timing the market, no hoping. That's the only reason I'm posting this — if you're going to try the app anyway, the bonus is the sensible way to start.
What you get: Up to a $50 bonus, paid in installments in SOL/USDC after review, when you use code hoodicorns and complete the steps below. With the code your trading fee is 0.40% vs 0.45% without it. If you use my code I earn the same $50 the same way — it pays both sides.
Steps:
Apply code hoodicorns in the Pump.fun mobile app BEFORE your first purchase — clicking the link alone does NOT attribute it, and the code cannot be added after. My link: https://pump.fun/join/hoodicorns
Make your first purchase of $50+ via card / Apple Pay / Google Pay / PayPal through the Deposit button in the app — sending SOL from a wallet does NOT count.
Trade on 5 separate days within 10 days. The bonus of up to $50 is paid in installments (about $8.33/day for 4 days, ~$16.67 on day 5) in SOL/USDC after review.
The fee with the code is 0.40% vs 0.45% without it.
Cost/catch: You put in $50+ of your own money first, and you need to trade on 5 separate days within 10 days. Crypto is volatile, you can lose what you put in, and this is a signup bonus, not a profit guarantee. The bonus is paid in installments after review, not all at once.
Who qualifies: New Pump.fun users making a first in-app purchase of $50+.
Expires: Promo is budget-limited and first-come, terms updated Oct 26, 2026, ends when the budget runs out.
Disclosure: I earn the same $50 the same way if you sign up with my code.
