Trading Tiers & Min Buys
To qualify for the Degen Rewards, you must meet the Min Buy requirement through the Native DEX.
⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE: To be eligible for degen rewards, all buys must be made through PumpThePump DEX. When you trade elsewhere, we don't see it – and neither do the rewards.
Tier Requirements
| Tier | Min Degen Buy | Volume Target | Pump Time (After Vol) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🦀 Crab | 1.00 USDC | 2,000 USDC | 30 minutes |
| 🐟 Fish | 2.50 USDC | 25,000 USDC | 1 hour |
| 🐬 Dolphin | 5.00 USDC | 100,000 USDC | 2 hours |
| 🐳 Whale | 10.00 USDC | 1,000,000 USDC | 3 hours |
How Volumes and Countdowns Work
- Volume Pumping: Once the token is revealed, degens execute buys greater than the Min Degen Buy to drive the total volume towards the Volume Target.
- Target Met: The moment the Volume Target is reached, a countdown begins relative to the tier's Pump Time After Volume (e.g., 30 minutes for Crab).
- Late Additions: By continuing to pump and refer during the countdown window, degens and influencers ensure they lock in their staking rights and referral rankings before the winner draw executes at countdown zero.
