Pump.fun's revenue continues to break new highs, surpassing the total income of 24 protocols; just the Sol sold in the past few months has already exceeded the Ethereum Foundation's annual budget. Major platforms remain extremely popular, and numerous clones across different chains are emerging. Discussions about Pump.fun have never ceased: When will the token be launched? Will there be an airdrop? Let's hear what the team has to say —

What is SPACE discussing?

Is the airdrop really coming?

During the Space, Pump.fun co-founder Sapijiju hinted at future token and airdrop plans, though no official timeline has been confirmed yet.

In response to the airdrop question, he said:

"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, I won't guarantee anything here, but it might be more profitable than any project in this field. '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 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, during the Space, the co-founder hinted that in the future, airdrops may only be directed at users who have utilized Pump.fun advanced, and considering the 0 fees offered to users for the first 30 days, there is ambition to capture the Bullx and Photon markets.

Airdrop strategy

A good project doesn't necessarily have a good token price. How the specific token empowers and how TGE is designed has not yet been disclosed, and it seems that Pump.fun's token issuance might still take some time. However, there are already volume-boosting bots appearing for Memecoins on Solana, trading at 0.000026 Sol. After all, the most profitable protocol in Web 3 is about to issue a token, and this airdrop seems worth participating in.

Before excitedly chasing airdrops, it's important to develop a strategy and understand the participation costs. Generally, airdrops reward active real users who make clear contributions to the community and product development. Participants can try to obtain airdrops using premium accounts or numerous small accounts. For example: robots targeting initial listings for quick buy-sell actions; using small amounts to increase trading volumes on assets around 5M market cap; or approaching from a Dev perspective to create successfully launched Memecoins, etc.

What is Pump.fun advanced?

Additionally, discussions around Pump.fun advanced were held in Space.

Pump.fun advanced is the latest trading terminal launched by Pump, aimed at competing with mature tools like Photon and Bull X. The Pump Advanced terminal is 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 via non-custodial wallets through the identity verification platform Privy, with 0% fees for the first 30 days.

Currently, the team's focus on feature development for Pump.fun advanced is on convenience, speed, and security, with relatively few features aimed at professional traders; functionalities like DCA and anti-squeeze are still under continuous development.

Trading platform? Or social platform?

We have been contemplating whether to create a platform that is 90% financial and 10% social, or 90% social and 10% trading. How can we help ourselves grow and quickly become the largest platform?

In Space, there was a deep discussion regarding Pump.fun's future product positioning, exploring whether to build a social or financial empire. The team has considered both aspects. On one hand, team members wish to combine social elements with high spending and highly active users on the platform to create more interesting products, planning to focus on social elements as a key feature for the next phase. On the other hand, the team also aims to better meet the needs of professional trading audiences and users, which is why Pump.fun advanced has been launched.

Whether as a financial empire or a social network, from snippets in Space, it is evident that Pump.fun does not want to limit its product positioning to merely being a Memecoin issuance platform. The business empire built on Memecoin has promising future prospects worth looking forward to.
