Pump.fun's revenue has repeatedly hit new highs, surpassing the total income of 24 protocols combined, with the Sol sold in the past few months already exceeding the Ethereum Foundation's annual budget. Various platforms remain highly popular, and numerous clones across chains have emerged, with discussions about Pump.fun never ceasing—when will the token be issued? Is there an airdrop? Let's hear what the team has to say —
What is SPACE talking about
On October 20, Pump.fun held a new edition of X Space live, attracting 11K listeners. During Space, Pump.fun announced significant upgrades to its products, not only discussing the recently launched new features of Pump.fun advanced but also responding to user concerns about the airdrop.

Is the airdrop really coming?
During Space, Pump.fun co-founder Sapijiju hinted at future token and airdrop plans, although an official timeline has not yet been confirmed.
In response to questions about the airdrop, he said:
"We do plan to launch a token at some point in the future. I won't say when, everything will be fine. Our airdrop, no guarantees here, may 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, 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."
Additionally, in Space, the co-founder hinted that future airdrops may only be for users who have used Pump.fun advanced, indicating an ambition to capture the Bullx and Photon markets based on the 0 fees offered to users in the first 30 days.
Airdrop strategy
A good project doesn't necessarily have a good token price; how the specific token empowers users and how the TGE is designed have not yet been disclosed. It seems there is still some time before Pump.fun launches its token. However, Memecoins on Solana have already seen volume manipulation bots, with trades spiking to 0.000026 Sol. After all, the most profitable protocol in Web 3 is about to launch its token, and this airdrop appears to be worth participating in.
Before eagerly trying to chase the airdrop, it's essential to formulate a strategy and participation costs. Generally speaking, airdrops are awarded to active real users, for participants who have made clear contributions to the community and product development. One can try to obtain the airdrop through quality accounts or by using multiple smaller accounts. For example: bots can quickly buy and sell in bulk; use smaller amounts to boost trading volume on assets around a $5M market cap; or approach it from a dev perspective, creating Memecoins that can successfully launch.
What is Pump.fun advanced
Additionally, discussions around Pump.fun advanced were also held in Space.
Pump.fun advanced is the latest trading terminal launched by Pump, designed to compete with established 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 live update threads. Additionally, Pump.fun allows users to log in via the non-custodial wallet using the verification platform Privy, with 0% fees charged in the first 30 days.
Currently, the team's focus on functionality in Pump.fun advanced is on convenience, speed, and security, with features related to professional traders still relatively few; functions such as DCA and anti-squeeze are still under continuous development.
Trading platform? or Social platform?
We have been thinking, should we 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?
The positioning of Pump.fun's future products was also discussed in-depth in Space, regarding whether to build a social or financial empire, with the team contemplating both aspects. On one hand, team members hope to combine social elements with high spending and active users on the platform to create more engaging products, planning to prioritize social elements as a focus for the next phase. On the other hand, the team also aims to better meet the needs of professional traders and users, thus launching Pump.fun advanced.
Whether it's a financial empire or a social network, from the snippets of Space, it can be seen that Pump.fun does not want to limit its product positioning to just a Memecoin issuance platform. The future development of a business empire built on Memecoins is worth looking forward to.
