How to Play

Playing Bulls VS Bears is dead simple. Here's everything you need to know.

Step 1: Choose Your Side

🐂 Bulls (Buyers)

  • What you do: Buy the token on pump.fun

  • What you bet: Price will go UP

  • Win if: End price ≥ start price

  • Bonuses: Higher multipliers (incentivized to pump)

🐻 Bears (Sellers)

  • What you do: Sell the token on pump.fun

  • What you bet: Price will go DOWN

  • Win if: End price < start price

  • Bonuses: Lower multipliers (less incentive to dump)

You're not locked in! Switch teams every round based on market conditions.

Step 2: Trade on Pump.fun

Go to pump.fun and trade the token like normal:

Every Trade Earns Points

SOL Traded × 100 = Base Points
Example: 0.5 SOL = 50 points

Volume Bonuses (Per Trade)

Bigger trades get multipliers:

Trade Size
Bulls Bonus
Bears Bonus

< 0.1 SOL

+10%

+0%

0.1-0.5 SOL

+15%

+5%

0.5-1 SOL

+20%

+10%

1-5 SOL

+30%

+15%

💎 5+ SOL

+50%

+25%

Bulls always get bigger bonuses to incentivize pumping.

Holder Bonus (Automatic)

Hold tokens = passive points on every trade in the round:

Each 0.1% of supply held = +1 point per trade
Maximum: +10 points per trade

Example: Hold 1% of supply and there are 50 trades in the round → You automatically earn 50 bonus points without doing anything!

Step 3: Watch the Battle

Find the live display (usually a livestream, overlay, or public screen) showing:

  • Timer - Countdown to round end

  • Scoreboard - Bulls vs Bears points

  • Prize Pool - How much winners will split

  • Wave - Current momentum (rising/steady/falling)

  • Recent Trades - Who's trading and for which team

  • Your Position - Your rank if you're in the round

Understanding the Wave

Wave
Winners Get
What It Means

📈 RISING

70-80%

Strong buying pressure, big community rewards

➡️ STEADY

50-60%

Balanced market, normal split

📉 FALLING

40-50%

Selling pressure, smaller community pot

Pro tip: Trade when the wave is RISING (80% to winners) for maximum expected value.

Step 4: Win Tokens

When the round ends:

  1. Winner determined - Price comparison decides Bulls or Bears

  2. Prize pool calculated - Fees claimed and split applied

  3. Tokens bought - System buys tokens with winners' pot

  4. Payouts sent - Tokens distributed proportionally to winners

  5. Your share calculated:

    Your Points / Total Winning Team Points × Prize Pool

Tokens arrive in your wallet automatically within seconds.

No claiming, no staking, no clicking. Fully automated.

Example Round

Let's say you're playing Round 42:

Your Trades (Bulls)

  • Trade 1: Buy 0.5 SOL = 50 base + 10 bonus = 60 points

  • Trade 2: Buy 0.3 SOL = 30 base + 5 bonus = 35 points

  • Holder bonus: You hold 0.5% supply, 40 trades happen = +20 points

  • Your total: 115 points

Round Results

  • Start price: $0.00050

  • End price: $0.00052 ✅ Bulls win!

  • Prize pool: 5.2 tokens

  • Bulls total points: 450

  • Your share: (115 / 450) × 5.2 = 1.33 tokens

You risked 0.8 SOL in trades, earned 1.33 tokens. Profit depends on token price.

Timing Your Trades

Early Round (0-20 seconds)

  • Less competitive

  • Establish position

  • Build point lead

Mid Round (20-40 seconds)

  • Most action happens here

  • Momentum becomes clear

  • Whales may enter

Late Round (40-60 seconds)

  • Maximum FOMO

  • Panic trading

  • Last-second flips possible

  • Highest risk/reward

Warning: A single large trade in the last 10 seconds can swing the price and flip the winner.

Common Mistakes

❌ Wrong: "More points = win"

Points don't determine the winner. Price direction does. Points only determine your share IF your team wins.

❌ Wrong: "I need to connect my wallet"

Nope. Just trade on pump.fun. The system tracks everything onchain automatically.

❌ Wrong: "I should always be Bulls"

Switch teams based on market conditions. Don't be loyal to one side.

❌ Wrong: "Holder bonus doesn't matter"

Hold 1% of supply? You earn bonus points on EVERY trade in the round, even trades by other people. Massive advantage.

Tips for New Players

  1. Start small - Test with 0.1 SOL trades first

  2. Watch one full round - Understand the flow before jumping in

  3. Check the wave - Trade when split favors winners (70-80%)

  4. Hold tokens - Accumulate early for holder bonuses

  5. Time your trades - Late-round trades have maximum impact

  6. Don't chase losses - It's a game of chance, accept losses
