Legal

Last updated: June 30, 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of PumpDev ("PumpDev", "we", "us", or "our"), including the PumpDev website, APIs, documentation, hosted metadata, WebSocket feeds, wallet tooling, and related developer services (together, the "Services"). By accessing or using the Services, you agree to these Terms.

If you use the Services on behalf of a company, DAO, project, or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

The Services are intended for developers and other users who are at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction, whichever is higher. The Services are not directed to children and may not be used by anyone who is not legally able to enter into these Terms.

1. Service Overview​

PumpDev provides developer infrastructure for interacting with Solana-based token markets and related protocols. The Services may include transaction construction, Lightning server-side signing workflows, client-side transaction APIs, token creation tools, Jito bundle helpers, creator-fee claiming, SOL transfers, metadata hosting, and real-time market data.

PumpDev is a software and infrastructure provider. PumpDev does not provide regulated financial, brokerage, exchange, investment-advisory, fiduciary, banking, legal, tax, or accounting services. Nothing in the Services is financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice.

2. Eligibility and Compliance​

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Services is legal in your jurisdiction and complies with all laws, rules, regulations, sanctions programs, and export-control restrictions that apply to you.

You may not use the Services if you are barred from doing so under applicable law, are located in or ordinarily resident in a sanctioned jurisdiction, or are a person or entity subject to sanctions or restricted-party lists.

You are responsible for determining whether your token launches, trading activity, wallet operations, user-facing product, or business model requires licenses, registrations, disclosures, KYC/AML controls, tax reporting, consumer-protection controls, securities compliance, commodities compliance, or other regulatory approvals. You may not use the Services to operate as a broker, dealer, exchange, money transmitter, money services business, investment adviser, fund, custodian, payment processor, or other regulated business unless you are properly authorized and fully compliant with all applicable laws.

PumpDev may screen, block, refuse, suspend, geofence, or restrict access where we believe there is legal, sanctions, security, fraud, abuse, or operational risk. PumpDev has no obligation to verify that your use is lawful, and any screening we perform does not replace your own due diligence.

3. Developers, Integrations, and End Users​

If you use the Services to build, operate, or support a bot, application, website, trading system, token launcher, fund, community tool, paid service, or other product for third parties, you are solely responsible for that product and its users.

You must provide your own terms, privacy notices, risk disclosures, support, security controls, access controls, and compliance program where required. You are responsible for all requests, transactions, content, and activity submitted through your integration, including activity by your employees, contractors, customers, users, bots, scripts, or agents.

PumpDev is not a party to any relationship between you and your users, customers, token holders, traders, investors, partners, or service providers. You may not state or imply that PumpDev sponsors, approves, audits, guarantees, or is responsible for your product, token, trading strategy, community, or business.

4. Wallets, Private Keys, and API Keys​

You are solely responsible for securing your wallets, private keys, seed phrases, API keys, devices, servers, and deployment environments.

For client-side signing endpoints, PumpDev helps construct transactions, and you remain responsible for reviewing, signing, and submitting them from your own environment.

For Lightning workflows, when you create or import a wallet and use an API key, you authorize PumpDev to construct, sign, and submit transactions according to requests authenticated with that API key. Treat your Lightning API key as authority over the linked wallet. Anyone with access to the API key may be able to trade or otherwise use funds in the linked wallet.

Lightning workflows do not create any discretionary trading, advisory, fiduciary, escrow, insurance, monitoring, recovery, or asset-management obligation for PumpDev. PumpDev may not be able to recover funds, reverse transactions, restore keys, identify unauthorized requests, or stop a request before it is processed.

PumpDev is not responsible for losses caused by leaked credentials, compromised devices, compromised servers, malicious browser extensions, phishing, insecure storage, lost private keys, lost API keys, or requests submitted by anyone using your credentials.

5. Transactions and On-Chain Finality​

Blockchain transactions are public, irreversible, and controlled by third-party networks and protocols. PumpDev cannot cancel, reverse, recover, or guarantee any transaction after it is submitted to a blockchain network.

You are responsible for reviewing transaction parameters before signing or submitting requests, including token mint addresses, amounts, slippage, priority fees, Jito tips, quote mints, destination addresses, and any token metadata.

Execution may fail, be delayed, settle at an unexpected price, or produce unexpected results due to network congestion, RPC failures, validator behavior, block ordering, MEV, front-running, slippage, protocol changes, inaccurate input data, or third-party service outages.

6. Trading and Token Risk​

Solana tokens, pump.fun tokens, PumpSwap pools, and other digital assets can be highly volatile, illiquid, experimental, and subject to total loss. Token prices may change rapidly, and markets may be manipulated or become unavailable.

You are solely responsible for your trading decisions, token launches, wallet management, compliance obligations, taxes, and losses. PumpDev does not endorse any token, project, market, trading strategy, wallet, or transaction.

Token creation, promotion, trading, market making, liquidity provision, fee sharing, cashback, claims, or distributions may create legal, tax, securities, commodities, consumer-protection, market-abuse, or other regulatory obligations. You must obtain your own professional advice before launching, promoting, trading, or integrating any token or strategy.

7. Fees and Network Costs​

PumpDev fees are described on the Pricing & Fees page. Fees may change from time to time.

You are also responsible for all blockchain network fees, rent, priority fees, Jito tips, RPC costs, third-party protocol fees, exchange-rate changes, and other costs associated with your transactions. These costs are separate from PumpDev fees unless expressly stated otherwise.

Fees and network costs are generally non-refundable once a transaction or API request has been processed, except where PumpDev expressly states otherwise or where a refund is required by applicable law.

8. Token Metadata and User Content​

If you upload, submit, link, or publish token metadata, images, names, symbols, descriptions, websites, Telegram links, X links, or other content through the Services, you represent that you have all rights needed to use that content and that it does not violate any law, third-party right, or these Terms.

You may not use the Services to create or distribute content that is fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, infringing, harmful, malicious, illegal, or designed to impersonate another person, project, brand, token, company, or protocol.

You grant PumpDev a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable right to host, cache, copy, display, transmit, reformat, and otherwise process content you submit as needed to provide, secure, operate, and improve the Services.

PumpDev may remove, disable, or refuse to host content that we believe violates these Terms or creates risk for PumpDev, users, or third parties. Removing hosted content does not remove or reverse any on-chain transaction or on-chain data.

9. Prohibited Use​

You may not use the Services to:

  • violate any law, regulation, sanctions restriction, court order, or third-party right;
  • steal funds, private keys, API keys, personal data, or confidential information;
  • run scams, phishing campaigns, impersonation schemes, malicious token launches, or deceptive promotions;
  • manipulate markets, wash trade, spoof, front-run unlawfully, or engage in abusive trading behavior;
  • evade KYC, AML, sanctions, tax, securities, commodities, consumer-protection, gambling, or other legal obligations;
  • launch, promote, trade, or support tokens, pools, or campaigns that are fraudulent, misleading, unauthorized, infringing, or unlawful;
  • distribute malware, exploit code, spam, or harmful infrastructure;
  • overload, probe, scrape, attack, bypass, or disrupt PumpDev systems or rate limits;
  • reverse engineer non-public parts of the Services except where allowed by law;
  • resell, sublicense, or provide hosted access to the Services in a way that violates these Terms or harms service stability;
  • use the Services in a way that could expose PumpDev, users, or third parties to legal, security, operational, or reputational risk.

10. Third-Party Protocols and No Affiliation​

The Services may interact with third-party networks, protocols, applications, validators, RPC providers, wallets, decentralized exchanges, and data sources, including Solana, pump.fun, PumpSwap, Jito, and other ecosystem services.

PumpDev does not control third-party systems and is not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy, fees, rules, contracts, upgrades, downtime, exploits, governance decisions, or user interfaces.

PumpDev is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by pump.fun, PumpSwap, Solana Labs, Jito, Raydium, or any other third-party protocol or service unless expressly stated in writing.

Third-party names, links, protocols, logos, token names, and market references are provided for identification and interoperability only. You are responsible for reviewing and complying with any third-party terms, rules, fees, and restrictions that apply to your use.

11. Data, APIs, and Availability​

APIs, WebSocket feeds, documentation, examples, response schemas, endpoints, limits, and features may change, degrade, pause, or stop at any time. We may apply rate limits, request limits, abuse controls, maintenance windows, or access restrictions to protect the Services.

Market data, WebSocket events, token metadata, transaction data, and documentation are provided on a best-efforts basis. PumpDev does not guarantee that data will be accurate, complete, current, uninterrupted, or suitable for any particular purpose.

You are responsible for building appropriate validation, monitoring, error handling, retries, simulation, risk controls, and fallback logic into your own systems.

PumpDev is not responsible for service interruptions, data loss, degraded performance, transaction failures, or delayed execution caused by force majeure events, blockchain or validator outages, RPC outages, third-party outages, cyberattacks, denial-of-service events, protocol upgrades, forks, network congestion, legal orders, regulatory action, or events outside PumpDev's reasonable control.

12. Intellectual Property​

PumpDev and its Services, documentation, branding, software, designs, text, and other materials are owned by PumpDev or its licensors and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Subject to these Terms, PumpDev grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Services for your internal development and production use. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or exploit PumpDev materials except as permitted by these Terms, by open-source licenses that apply to specific code, or by written permission from PumpDev.

If you provide feedback or suggestions, you grant PumpDev a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free right to use that feedback without restriction or compensation.

13. Suspension and Termination​

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access to the Services at any time if we believe that your use violates these Terms, creates legal or security risk, harms service stability, or exposes PumpDev, users, or third parties to unacceptable risk.

You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including sections on risk, fees, user content, intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification.

14. Disclaimers​

The Services are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PumpDev disclaims all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, security, reliability, and uninterrupted operation.

PumpDev does not warrant that the Services will prevent losses, execute trades at expected prices, identify malicious tokens, protect against market manipulation, satisfy legal or regulatory requirements, detect all errors, or remain compatible with any third-party protocol.

15. Limitation of Liability​

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PumpDev and its contributors, operators, affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, punitive, or lost-profit damages, or for loss of tokens, SOL, private keys, API keys, data, goodwill, business opportunity, or expected savings.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, PumpDev's total liability for any claim related to the Services will not exceed the greater of: (a) the amount of PumpDev fees you paid to PumpDev for the Services giving rise to the claim during the three months before the claim arose; or (b) USD 100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations. In those jurisdictions, liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

16. Indemnification​

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PumpDev and its contributors, operators, affiliates, officers, employees, contractors, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, fine, penalty, cost, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from or related to:

  • your use or misuse of the Services;
  • your wallets, API keys, token launches, metadata, content, transactions, trades, or integrations;
  • your violation of these Terms or applicable law;
  • your infringement or alleged infringement of any third-party right;
  • any dispute between you and another user, token holder, trader, project, customer, or third party.

17. Privacy and Operational Data​

PumpDev may process operational data needed to provide, secure, debug, measure, and improve the Services. This may include API requests, wallet addresses, transaction identifiers, IP addresses, user agents, timestamps, error logs, usage metrics, and abuse-prevention signals.

The website may use cookies, local storage, analytics tags, advertising measurement tags, and similar technologies to operate the site, measure usage, improve documentation, protect the Services, and understand marketing performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect site functionality.

Do not submit sensitive personal information to the Services unless it is necessary for your use case and you have the right to do so. Do not submit personal information about children. Public blockchain data is generally visible to anyone and may be permanent.

If you use the Services to process personal information about other people, you are responsible for providing all required privacy notices, obtaining all required consents, honoring all applicable data rights, and complying with all privacy, data-protection, marketing, analytics, and security laws that apply to your product or integration.

18. Changes to These Terms​

We may update these Terms from time to time by posting a revised version on this page. The "Last updated" date indicates when the Terms were last changed.

Your continued use of the Services after updated Terms are posted means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, stop using the Services.

For questions, abuse reports, intellectual-property notices, or legal notices about the Services, contact PumpDev through the channels below unless a different notice method is required by applicable law:

Service of legal process must comply with applicable law. Social channels are not consent to service of process unless legally sufficient in the relevant jurisdiction.

20. General Terms​

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts will remain in effect to the maximum extent permitted by law. PumpDev's failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your rights to use the Services without PumpDev's prior written consent. PumpDev may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset sale, or operation of law.

These Terms, together with any additional written terms that expressly apply to a specific feature or service, are the entire agreement between you and PumpDev regarding the Services.
