# Pump Market Maker
What is a Market Maker Bot?
An automated market maker bot is a tool designed to generate market activity by continuously placing buy and sell orders on a token.
#### How to Use a Market Maker Bot on Solana
Setting up a market maker bot on Solana is easy with tools like **Smithii Pump Fun Market Maker**, which require no programming knowledge. Here’s how to get started:
* Enter the **token address** you want to boost. *(You can find it on the right side of the screen, below the social links. It looks something like this: 9abiQrX6AxcXThBz46oE2MzwKi1CBkqRRi9q32hmpump.)*
* Select the **number of makers** (i.e., how many simultaneous orders will be placed).
* Enter the **volume** you plan to generate.
* Choose how many **SOL** you want to allocate *(each transaction, due to priority fees, costs around 0.001 SOL).*
* Set the **duration** for which you want the bot to run.
* Ensure you have enough SOL for the tool **(0.025 SOL per 100 makers)** and for gas fees.
* Click **"Start Bot."** Done!
The bot will immediately start sending transactions, increasing your token’s volume to push it into **trending**. This is especially useful on **pump.fun** when aiming to become **King of the Hill** and attract new investors.
#### Market Maker Bot with Target Price
If you want to reach a specific price, you can use the **"Target Price"** option in the Market Maker bot. The bot will execute successive buy and sell orders until it reaches the set price, provided you have enough capital to sustain the process.
Set your **target price** above the initial price and choose how much **SOL** you’ll spend to achieve that **pump**. This helps you plan strategically and decide if the investment aligns with your financial goals.
