What is Pump.Fun? Why has it gone viral?

Figure:https://pump.fun/board

Pump.Fun is the most popular Meme coin generation platform on the Solana chain, featuring “one-click issue coin” that allows any user to create and publish their own token with zero code. Since the platform’s launch, over 100,000 tokens have been created through it, making it one of the most explosive on-chain applications in the crypto community by 2025.

The reasons for its popularity mainly include:

• Easy operation: No technical barriers are required to create tradable tokens;
• On-chain matching completed: decentralized, transparent, enhancing trust.
• Strong social dissemination mechanism: Each token has an independent sharing page, which facilitates community dissemination;
• Creator Incentives: The platform establishes a revenue share and fee-sharing mechanism for creators to promote content explosion;
• Memecoin Prevails: The Meme popularity in the Solana community is extremely high, aligning perfectly with the market trend.

Official issue coin: PUMP launch schedule exposed

In July 2025, Pump.Fun announced the official issuance of its platform’s native token PUMP and plans to conduct a public sale through mainstream platforms like Gate.

• Token Name: PUMP
• Issue coin time: Public sale will be held from July 12 to July 15, 2025.
• Total supply: Exact data has not yet been disclosed, but the project party revealed that they will sell 15% of the total token amount, aiming to raise 600 million US dollars.
• Valuation Reference: The overall valuation of the project is approximately 4 billion USD.

This marks a key step for Pump.Fun from an “on-chain tool” to a “Web3 ecological platform”. PUMP will become the core token connecting users, developers, communities, and trading liquidity.

Analysis of the token economic model of PUMP

Although the official complete white paper has not yet been released, based on the information disclosed so far, the PUMP token may have the following types of uses:

1. Platform fee payment: Issuing coin fees, transaction commissions, etc. can be deducted using PUMP.
2. Governance function: used for proposals, voting, and other community governance processes;
3. Incentive mechanism: The platform may in the future airdrop PUMP to highly active creators or coin holders.
4. Token buyback and burn mechanism: A portion of the transaction fees is used for buyback and burn, increasing the scarcity of the tokens.

This design makes PUMP likely to become another fundamental token on Solana with strong consensus and practical use.

The significance of issuing coins: from tool to ecological entry.

This coin issuance is not only a means of financing but also the beginning of the strategic upgrade of Pump.Fun. Upgrading from a Meme tool to an on-chain content incubation platform, the issuance of PUMP will inject a foundation for long-term sustainable development.

• Attract more creators and developers to join;
• Build a platform incentive and governance system;
• Accommodate larger user and capital scales;
• In the future, it may expand Web3 modules such as NFT, DAO, games, and AI.

PUMP is not just a coin, but an engine for ecological growth.
