Major platforms remain highly popular, with clone projects emerging on various chains. Discussions about Pump.fun have never ceased: when will tokens be issued? Will there be an airdrop? Let's hear what the team has to say —
What is SPACE talking about
On October 20, Pump.fun held a new session of X Space live, attracting 11K listeners. During the Space, Pump.fun announced significant product upgrades, discussing not only the recently launched new feature Pump.fun advanced but also addressing user concerns regarding airdrops.
Is the airdrop really coming?
During Space, Pump.fun co-founder Sapijiju hinted at future token and airdrop plans, although an official timeline has yet to be confirmed.
He said while answering airdrop questions:
"We are indeed planning to launch a token at some point in the future. I won't say when, all will be well. Our airdrop, no guarantees here, may be more profitable 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's done, whatever that may be, that's all to come. But again, like obviously our goal is to make our users rewarded 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."
Additionally, in Space, the co-founder hinted that in the future, airdrops may only be for users who have used Pump.fun advanced. Given the 0 fees offered to users in the first 30 days, there seems to be ambition to capture the markets of Bullx and Photon.
Airdrop Strategy
A good project does not necessarily have a good token price; how the specific token empowers and how the TGE is designed have not yet been disclosed. It seems that Pump.fun's token issuance still has some time left. However, Memecoins on Solana have already seen volume bots generating transactions at 0.000026 Sol. After all, the most lucrative protocol in Web 3 is about to issue tokens, making this airdrop seem worth participating in.
Before eagerly brushing up on airdrops, it's essential to formulate a strategy and participation cost. Generally speaking, airdrops reward active real users and participants who make clear contributions to the community and product development. It can be divided into premium accounts and bulk small accounts to try to obtain airdrops. For example: bots can batch sniper and quickly buy and sell at opening; brush volume with a small amount on assets with around 5M market cap; or approach from a Dev perspective, creating Memecoins that can successfully launch, 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, designed to compete 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. In addition, Pump.fun also allows users to log in via email using a non-custodial wallet through the identity verification platform Privy, charging 0% fees for the first 30 days.
Currently, the team's focus on functionality development for Pump.fun advanced is on convenience, speed, and security, while features related to professional traders are still relatively few. Functions such as DCA and anti-squeeze are still under continuous development by the team.
Trading platform? or Social platform?
We have been contemplating whether to create a 90% financial platform and a 10% social platform, or a 90% social platform and a 10% trading platform? How can we help ourselves grow and quickly become the largest platform?
In Space, in-depth discussions were held regarding the future product positioning of Pump.fun, contemplating whether to build a social or financial empire. The team has considered both aspects. On one hand, team members hope to combine social elements with high consumption and highly active users on the platform to create more interesting products, planning to focus on social elements as a priority for the next phase of features. On the other hand, the team also hopes to better meet the needs of professional trading audiences and users, which is why Pump.fun advanced was launched.
Whether it's a financial empire or a social network, from the snippets in Space, it can be seen that Pump.fun does not want to limit its product positioning to just a Memecoin issuance platform. The business empire built on Memecoin has promising future development, which is worth looking forward to.
