Meme Coin Platform Pump.fun Teases Native Token Airdrop

Pump.fun, a Solana-based meme coin platform, recently hinted at launching a native token to reward its early users.

This announcement came during an X-Space session on October 19, where the team also introduced their new professional trading terminal, Pump Advanced.

Pump.fun Plans Token Launch and Advanced Interface

During the session, Pump.fun revealed plans to launch a native token. While no specific timeline was provided, the team confirmed that a portion of the token supply will be airdropped to early adopters as a reward for their support.

“We’re going to make sure we’re going to reward our earliest users,” the team stated.

This news has been met with excitement within the community. Some believe that a well-executed airdrop could greatly enhance liquidity. One crypto analyst suggested the airdrop should target top traders, developers, and other key participants, using metrics like trading volume and coin performance to determine eligibility.

“Early users will be rewarded, but we’ve been farming this project for a while now. If they include revenue sharing for the token, it could be huge,” airdrop farmer Vex stated.

In addition to the token announcement, Pump.fun introduced Pump Advanced, an upgraded trading terminal designed for professional traders. This new interface offers advanced features such as live charts, top holder statistics, real-time social activity threads, and enhanced filters, all aimed at improving the trading experience.

A key feature of the terminal is its integration with non-custodial wallets via the Privy authentication platform. For the first month, users will enjoy 0% fees on trades, with fees set to be introduced later.

The Pump.fun team emphasized that the advanced interface helps users maximize their trading potential by offering a streamlined, data-rich experience with low fees.

Meanwhile, this move comes as Pump.fun continues to thrive despite facing competition from Tron’s SunPump network. According to Dune Analytics, the platform has maintained strong trading activity, leading to high daily active addresses and an increase in coin creation.
