Why We Disclose Risks

JustPump believes in honest communication. While we’ve built protections into the platform, trading memecoins remains inherently risky. Understanding these risks is essential for making informed decisions.
This page contains important risk disclosures. Read carefully before using JustPump.
We disclose risks because:
  • You deserve transparency: No platform can eliminate memecoin risk
  • Informed traders make better decisions: Understanding risks leads to responsible trading
  • Legal and ethical responsibility: Full disclosure protects both you and the platform
  • Community trust: Honesty builds long-term trust, even when it means acknowledging limitations

​
Market Risks

​
Memecoins Are Highly Volatile

Memecoin prices can swing wildly in minutes or hours. Gains of 100x and losses of 99% are both possible—sometimes in the same day.
Why this happens:
  • Low liquidity amplifies price movements
  • Sentiment-driven trading (hype, fear, FOMO)
  • No underlying fundamentals or revenue
  • Coordinated pumps and dumps
Example scenario:
  • You buy a token at $0.001
  • Price pumps 500% in an hour due to hype
  • Whales dump, price crashes 90% in 10 minutes
  • You’re left with a 50% loss despite the pump
  • Only trade with funds you can afford to lose completely
  • Use limit orders (when available) instead of market orders
  • Set stop-losses mentally (Solana DEXs may not support automatic stops)
  • Don’t chase pumps—buying into hype often leads to losses
  • Take profits incrementally instead of waiting for “the top”

​
Low Liquidity Tokens Can Be Manipulated

Tokens with low trading volume are vulnerable to price manipulation by individuals or groups with significant holdings.
Manipulation tactics include:
  • Wash trading: Fake volume to create illusion of activity
  • Pump and dumps: Coordinated buying followed by sudden selling
  • Spoofing: Placing fake buy/sell orders to manipulate sentiment
  • Rug pulls: Creator dumps their allocation and abandons the project
JustPump’s protections:
  • 10% max sell limit per transaction (slows dumps)
  • Permanent liquidity lock after graduation (prevents LP rug pulls)
  • On-chain transparency (all trades visible)
What JustPump cannot prevent:
  • Social media hype campaigns
  • Coordinated group buying/selling
  • Creator selling their allocation gradually (within 10% limit)
  • Fake hype and misleading information
  • Anonymous creators with no track record
  • Excessive hype with no substance
  • Token descriptions promising guaranteed returns
  • Very low initial liquidity (easy to manipulate)
  • Suspicious trading patterns (large buys followed by immediate sells)
  • Pressure to “buy now before it’s too late”

​
Early Trading May Involve Single Participants

When a token is first created, there may be very few or even just one trader. Early trades can be highly risky with extreme price volatility.
Why this matters:
  • First buyers may face near-zero liquidity
  • A single large sell can crash the price significantly
  • Creator may be the only other participant initially
  • You might not be able to exit at the price you expect
Wait for activity:
  • Check trading history before buying new tokens
  • Look for multiple distinct traders, not just one or two
  • Consider waiting for the token to gain traction
  • Be extra cautious with tokens less than 1 hour old

​
Rewards Are Not Guaranteed Profits

Cashback vault distributions and airdrops are not guaranteed and do not eliminate trading losses. They are designed to provide some protection, not full insurance.
Important limitations:
  • Cashback may not cover 100% of your losses
  • Eligibility is determined by backend criteria
  • Vault balance limits total distributions
  • You may not qualify for every distribution window
Example:
  • You lose 10 SOL on failed tokens
  • Cashback vault distributes 2 SOL to you
  • Net loss: 8 SOL
The vault is a safety net, not a profit guarantee.

​
Technical and Platform Risks

​
Smart Contract Risks

Despite best efforts, all smart contracts carry inherent risks. Bugs, exploits, or unforeseen edge cases could result in loss of funds.
Potential issues:
  • Undiscovered vulnerabilities in contract code
  • Interaction bugs with other Solana programs
  • Economic attacks (e.g., flash loan exploits)
  • Solana network issues affecting contract execution
What JustPump does:
  • Follows Anchor Framework best practices
  • Uses checked arithmetic to prevent overflows
  • Extensive testing before deployment
  • Plans for third-party audit
What you should do:
  • Start with small amounts to test the platform
  • Never invest more than you can afford to lose
  • Monitor official channels for security updates

​
Backend and Oracle Risks

Reward calculations and eligibility determinations happen off-chain. While payouts are on-chain, the logic determining who gets paid is centralized.
Potential issues:
  • Backend bugs calculating eligibility incorrectly
  • Service outages preventing reward issuance
  • Discrepancies between expected and actual rewards
  • Trust required in backend infrastructure
Mitigation:
  • All payouts are cryptographically signed and verifiable
  • Users can audit vault balances on-chain
  • Backend logic will become more transparent over time
  • Community can flag discrepancies

​
Wallet Security Risks

Your wallet is your responsibility. If your private keys are compromised, funds can be stolen with no recovery option.
Common attack vectors:
  • Phishing websites impersonating JustPump
  • Malware stealing private keys from your device
  • Fake wallet extensions or mobile apps
  • Social engineering (e.g., fake support asking for seed phrases)
Protect yourself:
  • Only use the official JustPump URL
  • Use hardware wallets for significant funds
  • Never share your seed phrase or private keys
  • Be skeptical of anyone asking for wallet access

​
Regulatory Uncertainty

Cryptocurrency and memecoin regulations vary by jurisdiction and are evolving rapidly. Trading may have legal or tax implications.
Potential issues:
  • Your jurisdiction may restrict or ban memecoin trading
  • Tax obligations on gains (even if you reinvest)
  • KYC/AML requirements may be introduced
  • Platform access may be restricted by region
Your responsibility:
  • Research local laws and regulations
  • Consult tax professionals for guidance
  • Keep records of all transactions
  • Comply with local reporting requirements

​
Platform Changes

JustPump may evolve over time. Features, fees, or terms of service may change. We commit to transparent communication, but changes may affect your usage.
Possible changes:
  • Fee structure adjustments
  • New features or restrictions
  • Changes to reward mechanics
  • Migration to decentralized governance

​
User Responsibility

​
You Are Responsible for Your Decisions

JustPump does not provide financial advice. All trading decisions are yours alone. Do your own research (DYOR) and understand what you’re buying.
Before trading:
  • Research the token and creator
  • Understand bonding curve and AMM mechanics
  • Assess your risk tolerance
  • Consider opportunity cost (could funds be better used elsewhere?)
  • Plan your entry and exit strategy

​
Trade Responsibly

  1. Never invest more than you can afford to lose completely
  2. Diversify risk across multiple tokens, not all-in on one
  3. Set limits on daily/weekly trading losses
  4. Take breaks if you’re emotional or tilting
  5. Avoid revenge trading after losses
  6. Don’t trade on borrowed money or margin (if available)
  7. Ignore FOMO and make rational decisions
  8. Exit partially to secure profits, don’t wait for “the moon”
  • Trading with money you need for living expenses
  • Chasing losses with larger and larger trades
  • Feeling anxious or obsessive about price movements
  • Neglecting work, relationships, or health to trade
  • Lying to others about trading activity or losses
  • Trading in secret or feeling ashamed
If you recognize these signs, consider taking a break and seeking support.

Final Words

JustPump is designed to make memecoin trading fairer, more transparent, and more secure—but it cannot eliminate risk. Memecoins are speculative, volatile, and often have no fundamental value. Trade wisely:
  • Start small
  • Do your research
  • Understand the mechanics
  • Accept that losses are possible (even likely)
  • Never risk funds you cannot afford to lose
