Pump.fun's revenue repeatedly breaks new highs, sweeping the total income of 24 protocols, with just the Sol sold in the past few months already exceeding the Ethereum Foundation's annual budget. Major platforms remain highly popular, and clones across chains are emerging, with discussions about Pump.fun never ceasing—when will the token be released? Is there an airdrop? Let's hear what the team has to say—
What is SPACE discussing?
On October 20, Pump.fun held a new session of X Space live, attracting 11K listeners. During Space, Pump.fun announced significant upgrades to the product, not only discussing the newly launched feature Pump.fun advanced but also responding to user concerns about airdrops.
Is the airdrop really coming?
During Space, Pump.fun co-founder Sapijiju hinted at future token and airdrop plans, although the official timeline has not yet been confirmed.
He said in response to the airdrop question:
"We do plan to launch a token at some point in the future. I won't say when, but everything will be fine. Our airdrop, with no guarantees here, may be more lucrative than any project in this space."
"So, and another thing I do want to confirm, like we are definitely planning on launching a token at some point in the future. Again, like not going to say when, how it done, whatever that maybe that's, that's all to come. But again, like obviously our goal is to make our users rewarded and to some extent. And yeah, again, like I think our Airdrop will probably no guarantees here, but will probably be quite a lot more lucrative than anyone else at the moment in the space, I would say."
Furthermore, in Space, the co-founder hinted that future airdrops may only be for users who used Pump.fun advanced, and based on the zero-fee usage provided to users in the first 30 days, there seems to be ambition to capture the Bullx and Photon markets.
Airdrop strategy
A good project doesn't necessarily equate to a good token price; how the specific token empowers and how the TGE is designed have not yet been disclosed, and it seems Pump.fun's token release will still take some time. However, Memecoins on Solana have already seen volume bots appearing, with trading volumes being aggressively boosted at 0.000026 Sol. After all, the most profitable protocols in Web 3 are about to issue tokens, and this airdrop seems worth participating in.
Before eagerly participating in airdrops, it's essential to devise a strategy and assess participation costs. Generally, airdrops reward active real users and participants who contribute clearly to the community and product development. You can try to obtain airdrops through premium accounts and batch small accounts. For example: robots can batch sniper during the opening, quickly buying and selling; using a small amount to trade assets with a market cap around 5M; or approaching from a Dev perspective by creating a Memecoin that can successfully launch.
What is Pump.fun advanced?
Additionally, discussions surrounding Pump.fun advanced took place in Space.
Pump.fun advanced is the latest trading terminal launched by Pump, aimed at competing with established tools like Photon and Bull X. The Pump Advanced terminal has been optimized for platform users, integrating features such as charts, top holder statistics, advanced filters, and real-time update threads. Additionally, Pump.fun allows users to log in through the identity verification platform Privy, using non-custodial wallets via email, with 0% fees for the first 30 days.
Currently, the team's focus on features in Pump.fun advanced is on convenience, speed, and security, while features involving professional traders are still relatively few, with DCA, anti-squeeze, and other functions still under development.
Trading platform? Or social platform?
We have been contemplating whether to create a 90% financial platform and 10% social platform, or a 90% social platform and 10% trading platform. How can we help ourselves grow and quickly become the largest platform?
The future product positioning of Pump.fun was also deeply discussed in Space, regarding whether to build a social or financial empire; the team has contemplated both aspects. On one hand, team members hope to combine social elements with high spending and active users on the platform to create more interesting products, planning to focus on social elements as a key feature in the next phase. On the other hand, the team also hopes to better meet the needs of professional trading audiences and users, thus launching Pump.fun advanced.
Whether it's a financial empire or a social network, from the snippets of Space, it's clear that Pump.fun does not want to position its products merely as a Memecoin issuance platform. The commercial empire built on Memecoins—what will its future development look like? It is worth looking forward to.
