The fairness narrative will run through the entire bull market, and Meme will become the ultimate tool for the growth of public chains.
In April, the market experienced a sharp correction, but the Solana market became increasingly hot. On May 4, the newly issued SPL tokens continued to set a record high of 14,648. More than half of the newly issued tokens came from pump.fun. Odaily Odaily will interpret the functions, data and this phenomenon of the platform.
About Pump.fun
Pump.fun was launched in February 2024. It is a one-click issuance platform for Meme tokens. When it was launched in February, there were not many users paying attention to and using it. By mid-March, the number of users and usage began to soar.
Running the process
- Create a token: The issuer only needs to enter the name, description and picture of the token and pay about 0.02 SOL to start the "fund-raising" issuance process of a token.
- Intra-market fundraising: For users, selecting the token they want to participate in and then entering the number of tokens they want to purchase is equivalent to participating in the token issuance fundraising, and being able to sell the corresponding shares before the issuance. Pump.fun will charge a 1% fee.
- Price curve: However, it should be noted that the price of Pump.fun's tokens before the official launch is not evenly distributed, but is calculated based on the Bonding curve. In simple terms, the token price will rise as the fundraising progresses and fall as the tokens are sold on the market.
- Token issuance: When users purchase enough tokens and the market value reaches $69,000, Pump.fun will add $12,000 of liquidity to Raydium (Solana's head DEX) and destroy LP.
What makes Pump.fun stand out
As of May 5, Pump.fun has issued 418,936 tokens, with a cumulative revenue of $6.9 million. From April 1 to May 1, Pump.fun's revenue reached $4.99 million, equivalent to an annualized revenue of approximately $60 million, and the growth trend has not shown any signs of decline. So how did Pump.fun achieve this achievement?
Continuation of the Fairness Narrative
The answer still lies in the narrative of "fairness". Since its rise in 21 years, Meme tokens have flourished on Ethereum and BSC successively. However, with the emergence of problems such as insider trading, RUG, and scientists' early start, users' enthusiasm for Meme has been severely hit. Therefore, a series of launch platforms such as Pinksale have also come into being.
On Solana, in fact, the period 23 years and earlier was full of Rug tokens. In order to avoid excessive losses due to Rug, many users became "10U Gods of War" and only participated in transactions with very small amounts, hindering the development of various ecosystems.
The automatic LP addition and destruction functions of Pump just meet the fundamental needs of users. The tokens from Pump have no nominal project parties and managers, so there will be no problems caused by super authority Rugs.
Meme and social attributes
In addition to the name of the token itself, Pump.fun's token also needs to be accompanied by a picture and introduction, and have a comment function, which gives it the ability to quickly and intuitively spread the story and style behind it.
Previously, Meme tokens, project websites, and official media mostly needed to reference each other to achieve information links, but Pump.fun is equivalent to completing one-click aggregation. On the one hand, users can quickly obtain most of the information, and on the other hand, the tokens themselves are given the ability to socialize and effectively spread.
A new way to “harvest”?
Although it was created to pursue “fairness”, some of Pump.fun’s mechanisms have become a tool for some users to exploit. As mentioned earlier, Pump.fun issues tokens very quickly, so the number of new tokens added every day is very large, and most users can only judge the quality of the project based on its “social” attributes.
On the other hand, the price of Pump.fun is not evenly distributed. The cost of the last user to enter is usually more than five times that of the earliest user. Therefore, some malicious users purchase accounts with high follower counts and create the illusion of high attention. They purchase a large number of chips at the bottom, and then quickly exit before the token is issued after users are deceived by the illusion of high attention. Similarly, some KOL create new tokens through their own influence, and then use extreme price curves to quickly realize their influence (harvest).
in conclusion
Since the beginning of BRC-20, the voices of pursuing fairness and opposing high-FDV VC tokens have intensified. The momentum of PEPE and WIF to sprint to the top ten is also the primary representative of this trend. Pump.fun was also born with this story. It is not difficult to foresee that the word fairness will run through this round of bull market and become the detonation point for many disruptive projects.
On the other hand, Pump.fun is also of great significance to the Solana ecosystem, not only in terms of the annual revenue of 60 million US dollars, but also in the billions or even tens of billions of US dollars in trading volume behind the 60 million US dollars. This is a considerable growth for DEX and nodes, and it is also the ultimate tool for Solana to attract users !
