Fees on this route
Pump.fun's fee page lists a 1.25% total fee on the bonding curve (0.30% creator fee and 0.95% protocol fee) and tiered fees on PumpSwap pools that start at 1.25% and step down as market cap grows. Sample numbers: buying 1 SOL costs about 0.0125 SOL in fees, plus the Solana base fee of 5,000 lamports (0.000005 SOL) per signature. If this is your first time holding QNT, your wallet also pays a refundable deposit of about 0.002 SOL for a token account. See Solana fees and rent.
Slippage in plain terms
Slippage is how far from the quoted price you accept the fill to be. With 1% slippage on a quote of 1,000 QNT, you accept as little as 990 QNT. A very high setting, say 30%, lets a bot or a price jump fill you at a much worse price. Start low and raise it only if trades keep failing and you understand why.

What to check before you click confirm
- The page shows the name Quantinuum, ticker QNT and the contract address
DeqsPTYwvsNjkf5G8zDxziUnFPp55nQZA4vrNM2apump. - You are on the real pump.fun address, reached from a bookmark.
- The wallet prompt shows a single buy and the amount you expect.
- You left some SOL for fees.
Common mistakes
- Clicking a fake site that looks like pump.fun. See wallet safety.
- Setting slippage very high so trades "go through".
- Buying a copycat with the same name.
- Putting in more than you planned after a fast price move.
After graduation, trades run through a pool. See launch to graduation and DexScreener. The QNT memecoin is independent of Quantinuum Ltd. Not financial advice.
After the buy
Open the transaction in Solscan and confirm that the token received is the one with the official address, and that the amount matches the quote within your slippage. Then check that QNT shows up in your wallet. If it does not appear, search the token list by address instead of name. Keep the wallet backup safe, and think about moving anything you do not plan to trade to a separate wallet. Read how to store QNT safely for the options. If something looks wrong, do not sign further transactions to "fix" it, because fix it messages are a common scam pattern.
Also remember that a graduated token trades in a pool, so price impact depends on pool depth, not just the curve. A quick look at the chart and holder list before each purchase costs a minute and can save you from a bad entry. See how to read a memecoin chart.
