Screen-record setting up a fresh wallet, funding it with a small amount, and using a separate "burner" wallet for aping. Stress: never connect your main wallet to random sites.

You interact with pump.fun through a Solana wallet (like Phantom or Solflare). It holds your SOL and the tokens you buy. Protecting it is more important than any single trade.

Safe setup basics

  • arrow_rightUse a dedicated trading wallet with only the SOL you are willing to risk — not your main savings wallet.
  • arrow_rightNever share your seed phrase. No real support team, airdrop, or admin will ever ask for it.
  • arrow_rightBe careful what sites you connect to. A malicious "connect wallet" can request approvals that drain you.
  • arrow_rightDouble-check token addresses — scammers create fakes with identical names and logos.

A common drain isn't the coin itself — it's signing a malicious transaction on a fake site. Slow down before you approve anything.
