pump.fun
From Know Your Memecoin — the public memecoin database & daily-updated archive
A Solana launchpad that made creating and trading meme coins nearly instantaneous via a bonding curve, becoming the default venue of trench culture.
pump.fun pump.fun reduced token creation to a few clicks and a fraction of a SOL. Buyers trade along a bonding curve until the token “graduates” to a wider DEX pool — or dies trying.
The product shaped trench vocabulary: snipes, graduation, creator fees, and the endless scroll of brand-new tickers.
Origin
Launched in early 2024, the platform arrived as Solana throughput and meme appetite aligned. Instant deployability turned every trending tweet into a potential ticker.
Spread
Competitors copied the bonding-curve formula. Still, pump.fun remained the cultural shorthand — the same way a brand name becomes the verb for a whole category.
