Lighting the Coals: Getting the Code In First
No smith starts hammering cold iron, and no newcomer should make a purchase before the code is in place. Install the Pump.Fun App on your phone, create your account, and look for the field where a referral or invite code is accepted. Type NEWUSER50 there carefully, letter by letter, and confirm that the app shows it as accepted. Only after that confirmation should you think about buying anything at all. If the first card or bank purchase happens before the code is entered, the forge was never lit, and the welcome match will not attach to that order.
The First Heat: Your Opening Purchase
The opening purchase is the bar of raw iron you lay into the fire. It has to be a fiat purchase made inside the mobile app, and it has to be worth at least 1 USD. The match follows the size of that first buy, capped at 50 USD, so a purchase of 20 USD points toward a 20 USD match, while a purchase of 80 USD still tops out at 50 USD. Pick an amount you are fully comfortable placing on the anvil, because crypto prices swing and the bar you buy can lose value as well as gain it. A smith chooses stock to suit the job rather than grabbing the heaviest bar in the shed, and the same restraint serves you well here.
Five Heats Across Ten Days
Once the purchase clears, the ten-day clock starts ticking like coals that slowly cool. Within those ten days you need trading activity on five different calendar days measured in UTC. Two trades on the same UTC date count as a single heat, not two, so spreading the work out is essential. Because UTC may differ from your local clock, a late-evening trade where you live could fall on the next UTC date, or an early-morning one could land on the previous date. Write down the UTC date for each heat in a small notebook, the way a smith marks each piece on a tally board by the door. Aim to finish your five heats with a few days of slack, so one busy day or a flat phone battery does not cool the whole project.
Hammer Blows: How the Reward Arrives
The reward is not dropped into your wallet as one lump; it is drawn out in stages, like a bar lengthened under repeated strikes. The match is divided into six equal parts. The first four drops each pay one sixth of the earned amount, and the last drop pays the final two sixths together. Payment comes as SOL or USDC, so the value of a SOL drop can move after it lands, while a USDC drop tracks the dollar. If your earned match is 30 USD, that works out to four drops of 5 USD followed by a closing drop of 10 USD. Checking each drop as it arrives is like inspecting the metal after every round in the fire, looking for cracks before moving on.
Quenching and Tempering: Staying Calm
After the last strike, a smith plunges the hot piece into water, and the hiss is loud but brief. New users sometimes feel a similar jolt of excitement when the first drop shows up, and that is exactly when slow thinking matters most. Do not chase extra trades just to feel busy, and do not enlarge your position because a reward has arrived. Tempering is the gentle reheating that removes brittleness, and in practice it means reviewing what you bought, how much risk you carry, and whether you still sleep easily. A tempered blade bends without snapping, and a tempered budget absorbs a red day without panic.
Reading the Colour of the Iron
Old smiths judged heat by colour, from dull cherry to bright straw, long before thermometers hung in workshops. Your version of that skill is watching the app's own indicators. Check that the code shows as applied, that your first purchase is listed as a fiat buy, and that each trading day registers. If something looks wrong, contact the app's support team through the help section rather than guessing, and keep screenshots of each step. Clear records help support staff see your progress at a glance, much like a well-kept forge log.
The Terms in Brief
The code must be entered in the mobile app before the first fiat purchase, and the purchase must be at least 1 USD. The app matches that purchase up to 50 USD. You must trade on five different UTC days within ten days of the purchase. The reward pays out as four drops of one sixth each and a final drop of two sixths, in SOL or USDC. The promotion is funded from a limited budget and can end once that pool is used up. Residents of the United Kingdom cannot take part, and nobody under eighteen may join.
When the Forge Goes Cold
Every blacksmith knows that the supply of charcoal eventually runs out. This welcome offer works the same way, since it draws from a fixed budget rather than an endless one. Starting sooner gives you a better chance of joining while funds are still available, but rushing into a careless purchase defeats the purpose. Read the in-app terms on the day you sign up, because the app's own wording is the final authority if anything differs from this guide.
Who Should Stay Out of the Workshop
A forge is no place for children, and this offer is closed to anyone under eighteen. People living in the United Kingdom are also excluded, whatever their age or experience. Anyone who cannot afford to see the value of their first purchase drop should step back as well, since no welcome match removes market risk. Treat the reward as a bonus on top of money you were already willing to commit, never as a reason to stretch your finances.
A Smith's Checklist Before You Begin
Before your first heat, confirm that you are eighteen or older and not based in the United Kingdom. Make sure NEWUSER50 is accepted in the app before any purchase. Decide on a first purchase amount that you would be calm about losing. Note the current UTC date and plan five separate trading days with spare room. Expect your reward in six parts across five drops, and keep a log of each one. With those points sorted, the iron is hot and the anvil is ready.
Strike While the Iron Is Hot
Download the Pump.Fun App on your phone, enter NEWUSER50 in the referral field before you buy anything, and make a first purchase of at least 1 USD that suits your budget. Then work through your five UTC trading days at a steady pace, and let the matched reward arrive drop by drop.
