Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsBy shaofaye123, Foresight News
Pump.fun's revenue continues to hit new highs, surpassing the combined income of 24 other protocols. The amount of SOL sold over just the past few months has exceeded Ethereum Foundation’s annual budget. Platforms across the ecosystem remain extremely popular, with numerous chain-specific clones emerging. Discussions around Pump.fun have never ceased: When will it launch a token? Will there be an airdrop? Let's hear what the team has to say ——
What Was Discussed in the SPACE
On October 20, Pump.fun hosted a new X Space session, attracting 11K listeners. During the live discussion, Pump.fun announced major product upgrades, introducing its recently launched new feature Pump.fun Advanced, and also addressed user concerns about a potential airdrop.

Is the Airdrop Finally Coming?
During the Space, Pump.fun co-founder Sapijiju hinted at future token and airdrop plans, although no official timeline was confirmed.
When asked about the airdrop, he said:
「We do plan to launch a token at some point in the future. I won't say when, but everything will work out. As for our airdrop — no guarantees here — but I’d say it could be more lucrative than any other project in this space.
"So, and another thing I do want to confirm, like we are definitely planning on launching a token at some point in the future. Again, like not going to say when, how it done, whatever that maybe that's, that's all to come. But again, like obviously our goal is to make our users rewarded and to some extent. And yeah, again, like I think our Airdrop will probably no guarantees here, but will probably be quite a lot more lucrative than anyone else at the moment in the space, I would say."」
Additionally, during the discussion, the co-founder hinted that the airdrop might only go to users who have used Pump.fun Advanced. Given that the service is being offered free of charge for the first 30 days, this move signals clear ambitions to capture market share from BullX and Photon.
Airdrop Strategy
A great project doesn’t always mean a strong token price. Details on token utility, TGE design, and distribution remain unannounced. It seems Pump.fun still has some time before launching its token. However, meme coin trading bots have already appeared on Solana, spamming transactions with as little as 0.000026 SOL. After all, the highest-earning protocol in Web3 is preparing to issue a token — making this airdrop well worth participating in.
Before jumping into farming, it’s crucial to develop a solid strategy and assess participation costs. Typically, airdrops reward active, genuine users and contributors who add value to the community and product. Users can approach this through either high-quality accounts or bulk low-value accounts. Examples include: using bots to sniper launches with rapid buys and sells; generating volume on tokens with ~$5M market caps; or taking a dev-first approach by successfully launching your own meme coin.
What Is Pump.fun Advanced?
The Space also covered details about Pump.fun Advanced.
Pump.fun Advanced is Pump’s latest trading terminal, designed to compete with established tools like Photon and BullX. Optimized specifically for platform users, Pump Advanced integrates features such as charts, top holder statistics, advanced filters, and real-time update threads. Additionally, Pump.fun allows users to log in via the identity platform Privy using non-custodial wallets and email addresses, with 0% fees for the first 30 days.
Currently, the team is focusing on making Pump.fun Advanced convenient, fast, and secure. Professional trader features such as DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) and anti-snipe protection are still under active development.
Trading Platform or Social Platform?
We’ve been asking ourselves: Should we build a platform that’s 90% finance and 10% social, or one that’s 90% social and 10% trading? What path will help us grow faster and become the largest platform?
The SPACE featured an in-depth discussion on Pump.fun’s future direction, weighing the balance between building a financial empire versus a social network. The team has considered both paths. On one hand, they aim to combine social elements with the platform’s high-spending, highly active user base to create more engaging experiences, and plan to prioritize social features in the next phase of development. On the other hand, to better serve professional traders, they’ve launched Pump.fun Advanced.
Whether building a financial powerhouse or a social network, from these hints during the Space, it’s clear Pump.fun does not intend to remain just a meme coin issuance platform. The trajectory of this meme coin-driven empire is something truly worth watching.
