PumpKing Troubleshooting

Quick solutions to common errors and issues

Common Error Types

Token Creation & Buying Errors

"Simulation Error"

This error occurs when the bot's transaction simulation fails, often due to spam transactions modifying wallet balances during the simulation process.

Solution
  • Simply retry the operation - most simulation errors resolve on retry
  • Wait 5-10 seconds before retrying to allow pending transactions to clear
  • If the error persists after 3 attempts, check your wallet balance
  • Ensure you have sufficient SOL for both the transaction and gas fees

"Insufficient Jito Tips"

This error indicates that your Jito tip amount is too low for the current network conditions. Jito tips prioritize your transactions on the Solana network.

Solution
  • Open PumpKing bot settings
  • Increase Jito tip amount to 0.01–0.1 SOL (recommended range)
  • Start with 0.01 SOL and increase if needed
  • Higher network congestion requires higher tips
  • Retry the operation after adjusting
Pro Tip

During peak trading hours, use tips closer to 0.1 SOL for faster execution. During quiet periods, 0.01-0.03 SOL is usually sufficient.

Selling Errors

Transaction Fails During Sell

Selling transactions may fail due to slippage, insufficient liquidity, or network congestion.

Solution
  • Retry the sell operation (often resolves the issue)
  • Increase slippage tolerance in bot settings if needed
  • Check token liquidity - low liquidity may prevent large sells
  • Consider selling in smaller batches if holding large amounts
  • Increase Jito tips for priority during high congestion

Distribution Errors

Distribution Transaction Failed

Token distribution to multiple wallets may fail due to insufficient balance, network issues, or configuration errors.

Solution
  • Verify you have sufficient tokens in the source wallet
  • Ensure all recipient wallet addresses are valid
  • Check that you have enough SOL for gas fees (multiply recipients × gas)
  • Retry the distribution operation
  • If distributing to many wallets, try splitting into smaller batches

Wallet Withdrawal Errors

Withdrawal Transaction Failed

Withdrawals may fail due to insufficient balance, network congestion, or incorrect wallet addresses.

Solution
  • Double-check the destination wallet address
  • Verify you have sufficient balance (account for gas fees)
  • Ensure you're withdrawing the correct token type (SOL vs SPL token)
  • Retry the withdrawal operation
  • Increase Jito tip if network is congested

Quick Fixes

Universal Fix

90% of errors resolve by simply retrying the operation. Wait 5-10 seconds between attempts.

Adjust Jito Tips

Set tips to 0.01-0.1 SOL range. Increase during peak hours for faster execution.

Check Balance

Always ensure sufficient SOL for both the transaction amount and gas fees.

Timing Matters

Avoid peak trading hours if experiencing frequent errors. Less congestion = fewer issues.

Preventing Common Errors

Maintain SOL Balance

Always keep extra SOL in your wallet for gas fees. Never use 100% of your balance.

Optimize Settings

Configure Jito tips and slippage settings before starting. Adjust based on network conditions.

Verify Everything

Double-check all addresses, amounts, and settings before executing transactions.

Monitor Network

Check Solana network status during high-value operations. Avoid critical transactions during outages.
