# Pump.fun $50 Referral Bonus: 5-Day Payout Schedule & Rules (2026)

How the pump.fun up-to-$50 referral deposit match works: match base, the 4 × 1/6 + 1 × 2/6 payout over 5 trading days within 10 days, eligibility and forfeiture rules, with referral code VIP25.

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.

## How the Match Base Is Set

Your first purchase through an in-app payment provider (pump.fun calls them "Integrated Providers") sets the match base:

```
match_base = min(first_purchase_usd, 50)     minimum purchase: $1
```

A $20 purchase sets a $20 match base; a $500 purchase sets $50. The purchase alone earns nothing: the match is released only as you trade.

## The 5-Day Payout Schedule: 4 × 1/6 + 1 × 2/6

| Match base | Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5  | Total      |
| ---------- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ----- | ------ | ---------- |
| $10.00     | $1.67 | $1.67 | $1.67 | $1.67 | $3.33  | **$10.00** |
| $20.00     | $3.33 | $3.33 | $3.33 | $3.33 | $6.67  | **$20.00** |
| $50.00     | $8.33 | $8.33 | $8.33 | $8.33 | $16.67 | **$50.00** |

* A **qualifying trading day** is a UTC calendar day with at least one bona fide trade from the wallet that received the purchase.
* The **earning window** is 10 days, starting on the day the purchase is confirmed. Days need not be consecutive.
* Only the first 5 qualifying days count. Day 5 pays double, so stopping after 4 days leaves a third of the match unpaid.
* The referrer receives a matching installment each time you earn one.

## Rules That Forfeit the Match

| Rule                                                                             | What happens                                             |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| Fewer than 5 qualifying days inside the 10-day window                            | Unearned installments are forfeited when the window ends |
| Purchased assets withdrawn, refunded or charged back before the last installment | Every installment not yet credited is forfeited          |
| Code applied after the first in-app purchase                                     | No match (the 0.40% fee cut still applies)               |
| UK or another excluded territory, or VPN/proxy use                               | Not eligible                                             |
| Multiple wallets, self-referral or wash trading                                  | Rewards can be withheld or reclaimed                     |
| Programme budget exhausted                                                       | The programme ends; no further rewards                   |

Installments are credited in SOL, USDC or another asset pump.fun selects, after review, and pump.fun does not commit to a payout time. The match is a discretionary promotion, not a guaranteed amount.

## 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 buy preview must show a 0.40% Platform Fee before you make the qualifying purchase.
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.
