Many years later, facing Ethereum's silence, Justin Sun will recall that summer day in 2021 when the DeFi Summer sparked a stablecoin wave on the TRON chain.
Summers don't rinse stones, but they do repeat. If you missed the last asset issuance craze, don't miss SunPump in 2024. The reason is simple: you can always trust Brother Sun’s mastery of market trends and his instinct for crypto’s underlying movements.
From strategic alliances with USDT, to acquiring Huobi HTX and WBTC, and now launching the latest memecoin asset issuance platform SunPump, TRON has entered the public chain competition from an unexpected yet logical angle.
When the Empire Falls, the Grassroots Rise
Weakness and ignorance are not barriers to survival—arrogance is.
From 2021 to 2023, many believed the public chain race was over. The golden duo of "Ethereum + Uniswap" had solidified Ethereum’s position as the sole backbone of on-chain ecosystems. Uniswap became the final destination for all on-chain trading. In this model, on-chain asset launch platforms and traditional CEXs dominated traffic and capital flows.
But in 2024, inscriptions changed everything. For the first time, people saw Bitcoin’s potential beyond digital gold. As Bitcoin re-embraced retail users, it was once again accepted as an asset issuance platform. Before this, most Bitcoin had never moved. The value of inscriptions lies in transforming the β returns of hodlers into α gains for retail investors.
Thus, Pump.Fun emerged on Solana, click-to-earn mini-games rose on TON. Compared to Ethereum and its L2s like Blast and Base, these so-called “legacy chains” proved far more playful. Even Solana, long dubbed the “Wall Street chain,” lowered its guard and joined forces with grassroots communities.
Hustle is rewarded. The market swiftly responded by showering Pump.Fun with riches. To date, Pump.Fun has officially surpassed $100 million in revenue, with nearly 2 million memecoins deployed.
This marks the second major update in asset issuance narratives since Uniswap—an era-defining footnote for memecoin launch platforms.
History rhymes. Where Uniswap appears, Sushiswap must follow. In mid-August 2024, Justin Sun announced the official launch of SunPump. Though SunPump is a product under Sun.io, everyone knows its biggest highlight and most visible label remains Justin Sun himself.
And that’s no drawback. At least the cold-start and traffic issues plaguing similar platforms vanish entirely here—within 10 days of launch, SunPump surpassed Pump.Fun in daily revenue.
But don’t underestimate SunPump. Mistaking it for just another Pump.Fun clone falls into mediocrity. SunPump may well be the ideal new-gen asset launchpad tailored for grassroots users—renewed today, and renewed again tomorrow at a higher level.
SunPump on TRON leads the fleet in a thousand boats racing ahead.
Continuing from above, unlike the previous cycle, Ethereum now faces a new playbook from legacy chains—TON, Solana, and TRON alike. Their strategies are largely identical: bypass VCs, abandon off-chain processes, and focus purely on using on-chain grassroots momentum to challenge high-FDV vaporware listed on centralized exchanges.
SunPump stands tall against Pump.Fun, distinguished by three key advantages:
• Extreme emotion, zero seriousness. From SUNWUKONG launching alongside the release of Black Myth: Wukong, to Sundog’s parody and self-mockery—when it comes to capturing attention, no platform backed by Justin Sun can be matched.
• TRON-curated, integrated with Huobi HTX. SunPump carries TRON’s historic mission of driving traffic. Yet on-chain generated traffic still needs CEX amplification. SunPump has already delivered multiple memecoins with over 100% gains to Huobi HTX, such as SUNCAT and FOFAR.
• Optimized to the core, saving every penny. The biggest barrier to on-chain trading is cost. Ethereum is slow and expensive; Solana is fast but suffers from MEV. TRON, however, has even less MEV than Solana—it’s the chain used by tens of billions worth of USDT transactions.
In every dimension, Justin Sun’s influence, Huobi HTX’s liquidity, and TRON’s throughput converge on SunPump, creating the Meme Summer of 2024.
Even empty hype can have value; without hype, everything is just air.
Today, in the evolution of public chains, technical differentiation matters little. What truly counts is real on-chain users. If we translate this into Web2 user acquisition terms, it breaks down into two parts: paid traffic and grassroots outreach.
Understanding this reveals SunPump’s significance. Unlike DeFi logic, the value of memecoins lies in retaining real users—after all, creating multiple addresses to farm rewards holds little meaning for memecoins. TRON has long been seen as the USDT trading chain, but signs of transformation are emerging thanks to SunPump.
In under two weeks, SunPump has gathered over 20,000 DAU, spawned more than 70,000 memecoins, not to mention offering up to 99% gas fee rebates and tens of millions in ecosystem incentives.
With this powerful combination, SunPump has become the second-largest on-chain memecoin launch platform after Pump.Fun—achieving in half a month what took Pump.Fun eight months.
The new king of memes has taken shape—but this is only the beginning. The future holds boundless possibilities.
Continuous Evolution: The Turning Point for User Onboarding
In economics, the Lewis Turning Point describes the moment surplus labor turns into shortage—a sudden shift rather than a smooth transition relative to economic development.
Today, Web3 faces a similar dilemma. On one hand, there are more chains than users. Over 150 Ethereum L2s exist, yet active addresses across major public chains remain in the millions, while actual users—real individuals—number only in the hundreds or thousands. For example, after StarkNet’s token launch, transfer counts were pathetically low, single digits.
TRON, however, is one of the few public chains with genuine users, real transactions, and practical use cases. Leveraging USDT’s global circulation, TRON and TRX enjoy real-world utility, providing stable price support.
Guided by this philosophy, SunPump’s development diverges from other memecoin platforms—its core driver is wealth creation: No致富, No Crypto.
To discuss wealth creation, we must first address user experience. Good UX is the primary prerequisite for adoption. On SunPump, one-click token creation is real: an image becomes a meme, $30–$50 funds liquidity, zero listing fees, zero marketing costs, no staking required. Everything is optimized to make asset issuance effortless.
Once speed is solved, strong wealth effects are needed to drive participation. Here, Brother Sun’s answer is introducing off-chain liquidity—a key difference from Pump.Fun.
Pump.Fun allows users to mint tokens with zero gas fees, but primarily selects only around 1% of these coins for listing on Raydium, Solana’s DEX. Most of the millions of tokens never make it “on exchange.”
While on-chain DEX liquidity naturally lags behind CEXs, high listing barriers have turned CEXs into slaughterhouses where VCs and exchanges prey on retail investors.
Justin Sun’s solution? Select the best of the best. Premium projects from SunPump are sent to Huobi HTX to create quality listings and amplify wealth effects for participants. Early examples like doggos and kitties (SUNDOG, SUNCAT) have already made early adopters rich.
Ducks know when spring water warms—the brother still reigns as the industry’s master of traffic.
No need for elaboration—memecoins thrive on volume and abundance. When hype strikes, anyone with minimal cost can monetize sentiment. Liquidity either skyrockets with market fervor or fades into silence with cooling emotions.
The mechanism enabling this is the Bonding Curve pricing model. Simply put, this curve allows users to add initial liquidity at extremely low cost, with prices rising as more is bought and falling as more is sold—favoring early adopters, as later trades profit the earlier ones.
Undoubtedly, without controls, this setup risks becoming a Ponzi scheme—flaring brightly then vanishing instantly. To prevent this, SunPump integrates with SunSwap, TRON’s leading DEX. When a token reaches certain market cap thresholds, SunPump injects preset liquidity into SunSwap and executes token burns to regulate circulating supply.
If trading volume proves strong enough, the token can graduate to Huobi HTX for enhanced liquidity support. Meeting Huobi HTX’s listing criteria, any project on SunPump qualifies if it maintains a 3-day average daily trading volume exceeding $10 million or achieves a market cap of $30 million—seamlessly merging on-chain issuance with centralized exchange discovery.
Beyond listing, a series of ongoing support measures follow—mining programs, airdrops, futures contracts, and promotional campaigns—all designed to replace the old VC-backed model where projects sacrificed value only to divide spoils among insiders. This ushers in a true era where anyone can launch a token and get it listed.
It’s fair to say SunPump’s standout performance among memecoin platforms reflects a comprehensive competitive edge, with strong growth momentum. If Sushiswap launched a vampire attack on Uniswap, SunPump is Pump.Fun’s upgraded successor—same赛道, entirely different tactics.
Conclusion
Since SunPump’s debut, TRON and Huobi HTX have regained widespread recognition. Returning to the grassroots, relentlessly striving for user wealth creation—is the right path for Web3 product competition.
We believe flowers will bloom again on every branch, and SunPump will help everyone find their own value in memes—be it financial gain, or the mythic defiance embodied by SUNWUKONG.
