Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsBy KarenZ, Foresight News
The long-anticipated — and controversially labeled as "the final pump" — ICO from pump.fun has finally been confirmed.
On the evening of July 9 at around 22:00, pump.fun officially announced that the PUMP token sale will launch on July 12. Prior to this announcement, platforms such as Gate and Bybit had already released sales pages for the PUMP token.
PUMP Token Economics
PUMP is the utility token for the Pump.fun token launch and exchange platform, with potential future use cases under consideration including fee rebates, token buybacks, or other incentive mechanisms. The maximum supply of PUMP is set at 1 trillion tokens, allocated as follows:
-
33% to be sold in the initial token offering
-
24% allocated to community and ecosystem programs
-
20% allocated to the team
-
2.4% for ecosystem fund
-
2% for the foundation
-
13% for existing investors
-
3% allocated to livestreaming
-
2.6% for liquidity + exchanges
How Will Tokens Be Released?
According to the PUMP vesting schedule, tokens allocated to the team (20%) and existing investors (13%) will begin gradual unlocking starting July 2026. The portion allocated to community and ecosystem programs (24%) will start unlocking from day one of the token launch and be fully distributed by July 2026. All other allocations—including those for the ICO, liquidity + exchanges, and the foundation—will be fully unlocked upon launch.
It's speculated by the community that the 24% reserved for community and ecosystem initiatives may be used for airdrops. According to the release timeline, part of these community-allocated tokens will unlock immediately upon receipt of full sale proceeds, with the remainder released gradually.
