Transfer authority of your PumpFun token with Launchpad Trade API
POST/pumpfun/transfer
Hand over all management rights for a PumpFun token to a different wallet. The previous admin permanently loses the ability to update, transfer, or revoke.

​
What Is Authority Transfer?

The admin wallet (the wallet that created the token) has exclusive rights to manage fee shares, transfer authority, and revoke the token. This endpoint transfers those rights to a different wallet.
  • Full transfer — the new owner gets all admin rights (update, transfer, revoke)
  • Immediate — takes effect as soon as the transaction is confirmed
  • Claim unaffected — if the old admin is a fee recipient, they can still claim their fees

Notes

Double-check the newOwner address before sending. This action is irreversible — there is no way to reclaim admin rights once transferred.
  • The previous admin retains fee claiming rights if they are still a registered fee recipient
  • The admin wallet pays the standard Solana transaction fee
