Pump.fun, a memecoin launch platform built on the Solana blockchain, recently hinted at the launch of a new token and a potential airdrop following its most successful week so far.
During a Twitter Spaces event introducing Pump Advanced, the platform’s latest trading terminal aimed at competing with established tools like Photon and Bull X, the announcement was made.
The new Pump Advanced terminal is tailored for the platform’s users and features integrated mini charts, top holder stats, and social activity features in a single view. To attract new traders, the terminal will offer 0% fees for the first month and supports secure logins through email using the Privy non-custodial wallet solution.
Co-founder of Pump.fun, Sapijiju, hinted at plans for a future token and a possible airdrop during the event, although no official timeline has been confirmed. In response to inquiries, he mentioned:
“We are definitely planning on launching a token at some point in the future. I’m not going to say when, that’s all to come. Our airdrop, no guarantees here, will probably be a lot more lucrative than anyone else in the space.”
While specific details are not yet disclosed, it is anticipated that the token will be launched on the Solana network, the same network as Pump.fun’s current offerings.
Since its inception in January, Pump.fun has amassed over $140 million in fees by creating more than 2.5 million Solana-based tokens. The platform has become popular for its ability to swiftly create tokens, contributing to meme coin trends such as celebrity-themed tokens and viral livestream stunts. This week, Pump.fun achieved a daily high of 31,600 newly created tokens and surpassed $1.1 billion in trading volume following an uptick in activity.
With a growing user base and new trading tools, Pump.fun continues to establish itself as a leading platform for creating and trading meme coins, despite increasing competition on other networks.
