# How to Use Pump.fun Referral Code VIP25 (New & Existing Wallets)

Step-by-step: apply pump.fun referral code VIP25 on a new mobile account (0.40% fee + up to $50 match) or an existing wallet (0.40% fee via Section 4.9(b)), plus fixes when a code does not apply.

Updated October 28, 2026.

**Quick answer:** Our Pump.fun referral code is `VIP25` ([pump.fun/u/VIP25](https://pump.fun/u/VIP25)). Like every valid code, it cuts the pump.fun Platform Fee from **0.45% to 0.40%** on new and existing wallets (Section 4.9(b)); the 1.25% bonding-curve fee and PumpSwap pool fees are unchanged. New mobile users who apply it before their first in-app card, Apple Pay or Google Pay purchase (minimum $1) can get an **up-to-$50 match**, paid in 5 installments (4 × 1/6 + 1 × 2/6) across 5 UTC trading days within 10 days while the budget lasts. Not available in the UK, Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria or sanctioned countries. Memecoins can go to zero.

**Kurz auf Deutsch:** Unser Pump.fun-Empfehlungscode ist **`VIP25`** (`https://pump.fun/u/VIP25`): **0,40 % statt 0,45 %** Platform Fee (für neue und bestehende Wallets) plus bis zu **$50 Match** für neue Mobile-Nutzer. Jeder gültige Code gibt denselben Rabatt; VIP25 ist unser Code, den wir aktiv testen.

Trenchfees tested `VIP25` on October 28, 2026 and checked the rate against pump.fun's published [Fees Page](https://pump.fun/docs/fees) and [Referral Rewards Program Terms](https://pump.fun/docs/referral-rewards). The 0.40% rate is the same for every valid referral code.

## New Mobile App Users: Fee Cut + Up to $50 Match

{% hint style="info" %}
Apply the code **before** your first in-app fiat purchase. The match cannot be added afterwards.
{% endhint %}

1. Install the pump.fun app from your app store and create your wallet. Do not buy anything yet.
2. Open [pump.fun/u/VIP25](https://pump.fun/u/VIP25) on the same phone, or enter `VIP25` under **Profile → Rewards**.
3. Make your first purchase through the in-app on-ramp (card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, whichever the app offers). Its value, capped at $50, is your match base.
4. Trade on 5 different UTC calendar days within 10 days of the purchase. See the [payout schedule](/trenchfees-docs/pump-fun-50-dollar-referral-bonus-explained.md).
5. Keep the purchased assets in the wallet until the last installment is credited.

## Existing Wallets: 0.40% Fee via Section 4.9(b)

1. Open the wallet you actually trade from (web and app can be different wallets).
2. Go to **Profile → Rewards**, or tap the **Platform Fee** line on a buy preview, and enter `VIP25`.
3. Open a small buy preview and confirm the Platform Fee reads **0.40%**.
4. Re-place open limit orders: conditional orders keep the rate that applied when you placed them.

| Monthly volume | Fee at 0.45% | Fee at 0.40% | Saved / year |
| -------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ------------ |
| $5,000         | $22.50       | $20.00       | $30.00       |
| $25,000        | $112.50      | $100.00      | $150.00      |
| $100,000       | $450.00      | $400.00      | $600.00      |

| App won't accept a new code   | One code per wallet; the link may be permanent (Section 4.9(b))            | Any valid code already gives 0.40%                      |
| No match after first purchase | Code added after the first in-app purchase, or wallet funded by transfer   | The fee cut still works; the match can't be added later |
| Match not offered             | UK or other excluded territory, VPN, budget exhausted, or a previous match | Check the Program Terms                                 |
| No Platform Fee line          | Trading via Terminal or a third-party interface                            | The Platform Fee does not apply there                   |

## Pump.fun Referral Code VIP25: 5-Point Safety Check

1. **Check the domain.** Only enter `VIP25` on pump.fun or the pump.fun app. Look-alike domains and "support" DMs are the most common wallet-drain vector.
2. **Confirm the code on screen.** The invite or sign-up screen should name `VIP25`. If it does not, type `VIP25` manually before you finish.
3. **Read the fee line.** Your next buy preview must show a 0.40% Platform Fee.
4. **Never share your seed phrase or private key.** No referral code, bot or support agent ever needs it.
5. **Never pay for a code.** Referral codes are free. A number in a code name ("50", "100") is a label, not a discount.

Affiliate disclosure: the codes listed here are our referral codes; Trenchfees may earn a referral fee share from the platform when you use them, at no extra cost to you. `VIP25` is the Trenchfees referral code. If you apply it, pump.fun routes part of the Platform Fee on your trades to Trenchfees, and under the deposit-match programme the referrer receives a matching reward. You pay the same 0.40% as with any other valid code. Fees and referral programmes are set by each platform and can change at any time. Figures were checked against the platform sources below (Fee Schedule Check: Oct 30, 2026). Per the Pump.fun Referral Rewards Program Terms, the up-to-$50 onboarding match is not available in the United Kingdom, Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria or sanctioned countries. Check each platform's own terms for availability where you live. Always confirm the fee line on your order preview. Nothing here is financial advice.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://trenchfees.gitbook.io/trenchfees-docs/how-to-use-pump-fun-referral-code-vip25.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
