Pump.fun is now the leading memecoin generator / launchpad on Solana. It enables anyone to create and trade tokens instantly—no coding required.
In the last 7 days, Solana DApps pulled in over $18 million in revenue. Among them, Pump.fun generated $8.63M+, making it the top revenue DApp.
Over the past month, Pump.fun’s revenue reached $56.5 million. At current rates, the platform is buying back about 27% of its circulating supply annually, supported by its fee-driven model.
Even with memecoin trading cooling on Solana, Pump.fun holds strength, thanks to its viral nature and built-in monetization. Pumpfun still has many competitors in the space, such as BonkFun and Four.Meme.
But success comes with complexity. Before you launch your token, you need to understand how Pump.fun works and how to use it well.
Why Use Pump.fun to Launch a Memecoin?
- No code needed - You don’t need smart contract experience. Pump.fun uses bonding-curve mechanics behind the scenes.
- Fair launch - Tokens on Pump.fun are launched without presales or developer allocations—everyone can join from day one.
- Instant tradability - As soon as your token launches, it’s tradeable via the bonding curve model—liquidity is built-in.
- Revenue & buyback engine - Pump.fun takes a small cut from fees, and uses that revenue to buy back its native token, creating token scarcity.
- Visibility in memecoin culture - Because Pump.fun is deeply embedded in Solana’s meme ecosystem, a successful token launch there can actually become viral in few minutes.
Still, not every token launched succeeds. The majority fail to gain traction, and some become rug pulls. You need strategy, hype, and risk awareness.
