Everything the spider does, explained.
Crawlrpad is an independent interface for pump.fun. It helps you launch coins, follow the market live and check volume before you trust it. This guide explains how each part works — and where its limits are.
Getting started
You need two things: a Solana wallet and a little SOL.
- Install a wallet — Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. On a phone, open Crawlrpad inside the wallet's own browser.
- Add SOL — enough for what you want to buy plus network fees. Launching a coin needs roughly 0.02 SOL plus any dev buy.
- Connect — press Connect wallet in the app. Crawlrpad only receives your public address.
Launching a coin
Open Create, fill in the form and sign once. Behind the scenes four things happen — you'll see each step tick off:
- Upload to IPFS. Your image and a small metadata file (name, ticker, description, links) are pinned to IPFS. The coin points at that file forever.
- Build the transaction. Crawlrpad asks PumpPortal to prepare pump.fun's create instruction, plus your dev buy if you added one.
- Approve in your wallet. Your wallet shows the transaction. A brand-new mint address is generated in your browser and co-signs it — that address becomes your coin's contract address.
- Confirm on Solana. Once the network confirms, the coin is live on pump.fun with your wallet as creator.
The dev buy
A dev buy makes you the very first buyer at the lowest price on the curve. It's optional. Big dev buys are visible to everyone and many traders treat them as a warning sign, so keep it modest.
What can't be changed
Name, ticker, image and links are public and permanent once created. Double-check them in the live preview before you sign.
Under the hood
Crawlrpad doesn't run its own token contracts. Every coin launched here is created through pump.fun's on-chain program on Solana — the most widely used bonding-curve launch program, already battle-tested by millions of launches. Crawlrpad is the launchpad experience on top: the create flow, the live board, the crawler scan and the terminal.
What this means for you:
- Coins launched on Crawlrpad are regular pump.fun coins — they also show up on pump.fun itself and any tool that tracks it.
- The live board shows every launch on that program, not only the ones made through Crawlrpad. My coins lists the ones you launched here.
- Fees charged by those programs (trading fees, network fees) apply exactly as they would anywhere else.
The bonding curve
Every pump.fun coin starts on a bonding curve — a pricing formula instead of an order book. Price is set by the curve's reserves, so anyone can buy or sell at any time.
Because reserves multiply to a constant, each buy makes the next one more expensive. Curve progress on Crawlrpad is the share of those 793.1M tokens already sold, read directly from the coin's on-chain bonding-curve account.
Graduation
At 100% the curve is marked complete and its liquidity migrates to a PumpSwap pool. Trading continues there; the coin shows up under Graduated on the board.
Trading
Each coin page has a Buy / Sell box. Enter SOL to spend, or the percentage of your tokens to sell, and press the button. Your wallet shows the transaction before anything happens.
- Slippage — the most the price may move against you before the trade cancels. Fast-moving coins need more; 10% is the default.
- Priority fee — a small tip that helps your transaction land when the network is busy.
- Trades route automatically to the bonding curve or, after graduation, to the PumpSwap pool.
Fees
Crawlrpad's fee is added as a separate, visible transfer inside the same transaction, so it only happens if your launch or trade goes through. It's itemised in the cost summary and shown in your wallet before you approve.
Fees go to the Crawlrpad treasury and are used to buy back and burn tokens — burns are permanent and can be checked by anyone on Solscan.
The live board
Cards update live with market cap and curve progress. Search by name or ticker, or paste any mint address to jump straight to its page.
Crawler scan
Wash trading is when someone trades with themselves to make a coin look busier than it is. The crawler reads every public DEX pair of a token and adds up the patterns wash bots tend to leave:
Under 25 reads organic, 25–44 mixed, 45 and above possible wash trading.
The terminal
The terminal is a live desk for SOL and PUMP using public exchange data: candles (1s, 5s, 1m) built from every trade, the order book and the tape.
The spider runs a loop between eight agents. For each one it walks to the source panel, reads it, carries the result to the agent's card and every few jobs files a report with the chief:
Whale prints interrupt the loop: the spider hurries to the tape and tags the trade on the chart.
Safety & risks
- Non-custodial. Every transaction is signed in your wallet. Crawlrpad's server never holds keys or funds.
- No auto-trading. The spider reads and reports; it never trades.
- Data can be wrong. Market data comes from public APIs that can lag, rate-limit or make mistakes.
- Scams exist. Anyone can launch any coin, including fakes of famous names. Check the mint address, not just the ticker.
- Not affiliated. Crawlrpad is independent and not affiliated with pump.fun.
Run your own
Crawlrpad runs as one small Node server with no dependencies. It serves the site and keeps two secrets off the browser: your IPFS key and your RPC URL.
cp .env.example .env # PINATA_JWT=… required to upload coin images + metadata # RPC_URL=… a paid Solana RPC (Helius, Triton, QuickNode) npm start # or: node server.mjs # → http://localhost:4173
The server only forwards the Solana RPC methods the app needs, caches market data for all visitors, and only fetches token metadata from public HTTPS hosts.
