Analysis: pump.fun May Launch a Trading Volume Incentive Program, with PUMP as the Incentive Token

BlockBeats News, July 27 — According to the crypto research organization Dumpster DAO, pump.fun may be preparing to launch a trading volume incentive program lasting at least 30 days, with PUMP tokens as rewards. The official Pump SDK was recently updated to support the incentive mechanism, adding an admin function that allows for the configuration of incentive parameters, including the daily distribution amount of PUMP tokens.

Additionally, methods for tracking user trading volume and claiming PUMP rewards have been introduced. The current incentive plan is based on a 30-day cycle, but the mechanism could be reused or extended if the team chooses. The IDL (Interface Description Language) for the Pump bonding curve program was also updated a few hours ago, indicating that trading volume based on the bonding curve may also be eligible for incentive rewards.

The total number of reward tokens for this incentive program is still unclear. In a recent SDK test version, the daily distribution was set at 1 billion PUMP tokens. However, this is only a test file; at this rate, 3% of the total supply would be distributed in a month, which seems excessive, so the actual distribution ratio may be adjusted.

These changes have not yet been officially launched. However, given that Pump’s trading volume has declined significantly compared to competitors like BONK.fun, the team appears to be attempting to regain market share through this incentive program.

BlockBeats note: This information has not yet been officially confirmed by pump.fun and is based solely on community findings from SDK updates. More details will require official disclosure.
