From Challenger to Leader: SunPump's First Anniversary, Decoding the Lightning Rise of a Meme Fair Launch Platform
SunPump Anniversary Report: Using AI to lower creation barriers, CEX to unlock value channels, ecosystem synergy to build a growth flywheel, and community consensus to drive 1000x growth, establishing its core position as a traffic and growth hub.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, Mr. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, has propelled the TRON ecosystem beyond the "atmosphere" with his space mission. Tron Inc.'s
listing on Nasdaq has further placed the TRON ecosystem under the global financial spotlight. At this pivotal moment for the crypto world, SunPump, a core product within the TRON ecosystem, celebrates its first anniversary.
On August 13, 2024, SunPump debuted in Beta mode. One year later, SunPump has emerged as one of the world's top fair-launch Meme platforms. As of August 11, the platform has facilitated the creation of over 100,324 tokens.
Since inception, SunPump has demonstrated explosive growth: launching projects with hundreds-of-times returns in its first week, surpassing Pump.fun in revenue and quickly establishing market dominance. By the end of 2024, SunPump achieved total revenue of $11.93 million, ranking second in the industry. In 2025, SunPump continued to strengthen its capabilities by launching the AI token-creation tool SunGenX, systematically lowering user entry barriers, while also providing robust upward momentum and liquidity support for high-quality Meme projects through its "CEX Alliance Program" and Web3 wallet partnership matrix.
Leveraging TRON’s vast user base and traffic advantages, combined with a deflationary model driven by ecosystem synergy, deep global community operations, and cultural outreach, SunPump has successfully transformed "Meme sentiment" into tradable on-chain assets and a sustainable growth flywheel—reshaping the Meme landscape and becoming the strongest traffic and value hub driving the entire TRON ecosystem.
SunPump’s trajectory over the past year resembles an intense and highly efficient "innovation blitz," simultaneously advancing across five fronts: blockbuster creation, partnership expansion, product upgrades, ecosystem synergy, and community building. From being a challenger among viral Meme fair-launch platforms, it has evolved into the leading force mainstreaming Meme assets—a vital traffic engine and cultural melting pot within the TRON ecosystem.
Now, let us look beyond the data surges and highlight moments to decode the closed-loop revolution led by SunPump in the Meme universe.
I. Blockbuster Launches: Forging Growth Legends, Opening Doors to the Mainstream
On August 13, 2024, SUN.io, a DEX within the TRON ecosystem, launched its sub-product SunPump. Prior to this, SUN DAO conducted a voting proposal for expanding Meme products, which passed overwhelmingly.
On August 15, 2024, SunPump and SUN.io jointly initiated a $10 million Meme ecosystem incentive program to fuel innovation and growth within the ecosystem. In its first week, SunPump ignited the market with unstoppable momentum. The peak daily number of tokens created on SunPump reached 7,531—8.5% higher than its leading competitor—with single-day revenue exceeding $560,000 and daily trading volume hitting $59.1 million. Within just 11 days of launch, cumulative platform revenue surpassed $1.1 million.
By the end of 2024, SunPump achieved a new milestone in total revenue, reaching $11.93 million and ranking second in the industry. The platform’s trading ecosystem remained vibrant, recording 9 million total transactions for Meme projects. As of August 11, 2025, SunPump had launched over 100,000 tokens with total trading volume exceeding $3.9 billion, further proving its broad influence and leading position in the Meme market.
In terms of blockbuster creation, SunPump has fostered a matrix of high-market-cap projects. Within its first week, six Meme projects surpassed $1 million in market cap. The breakout project SUNDOG reached a market cap of $53.4 million within just eight hours of launch, with over $5 million in 24-hour trading volume and a peak market cap approaching $1 billion—ranking among the top 30 Meme tokens globally. SUNDOG triggered significant cross-boundary impact worldwide, even attracting participation from renowned global rapper Ty Dolla $ign (@tydollasign).
II. Partnership Expansion: Building a Value-Cycle Network
SunPump is reshaping the sector as a "wealth generator" for Memes, but blockbusters alone are not enough. For Meme assets to survive long-term, they must establish clear value-upgrade pathways. Over the past year, SunPump has strategically addressed a core industry pain point—bridging Meme assets to the mainstream.
In August 2024, SunPump established deep partnerships with leading cryptocurrency exchanges HTX and Poloniex, offering qualified Meme projects a one-click "listing channel." In December 2024, SunPump formed a strategic partnership with top-tier exchange Bitget. Bitget provides comprehensive listing support for high-quality Meme projects, including accelerated listing processes, expert guidance, and marketing and trading promotions. With Bitget’s global influence and resources, SunPump has expanded its reach and promoted its platform projects worldwide.
Currently, Meme projects can apply for exchange listings directly via the SunPump official website. SunPump has opened fast-track channels to seven major exchanges: HTX, Poloniex, MEXC, Bybit, Gate, KuCoin, and BingX.
To further empower quality Meme projects, SunPump launched the ambitious "CEX Alliance Program" in May 2025, forming a capital-access matrix with eight major centralized exchanges including BingX, HTX, and BitMart. This alliance selects projects with market caps exceeding $500,000 and stable on-chain performance, offering them rapid listing access, joint marketing support, and full-ecosystem activity resources (including airdrops and trading competitions). This provides SunPump’s Meme tokens with broader market exposure and stronger liquidity, accelerating the development of the TRON Meme ecosystem.
On July 11, 2025, SunPump achieved another strategic breakthrough in exchange collaboration: the Meme coins SUNDOG and PePe, fairly launched via SunPump, were successfully listed on Binance Alpha. Leveraging Binance’s premier value-discovery system, market enthusiasm surged immediately. In their first week, SUNDOG saw a 219% increase in on-chain trading volume, while PePe increased by 26.3%, marking a significant step forward in SunPump’s mission to enhance Meme asset liquidity.
To date, TRON has established a complete development path for Meme assets. From token launches on SunPump, to DEX trading, and finally to listings on major platforms like HTX and Binance Alpha, the entire process is seamless. This smooth operational logic gives TRON a distinct advantage, making it a favorite among Meme investors.
Currently, popular tokens such as SUNDOG, PePe, SUNCAT, and PUSS have transitioned from native crypto arenas to mainstream trading platforms. This signifies that SunPump’s ecosystem assets have gained deep recognition from the mainstream market.
To ensure Meme tokens reach the widest possible audience, SunPump has actively expanded collaborations with Web3 wallets over the past year, forming deep partnerships with over ten leading Web3 wallets including Binance Wallet, Bitget Wallet, TokenPocket, imToken, Nabox Wallet, Hot Wallet, Klever Wallet, Coinomi Wallet, Tomo Wallet, and UXUY Telegram Wallet—continuously expanding the influence of the SunPump ecosystem.
III. Product Upgrades: Lowering Barriers, Unleashing Creativity
The essence of Meme culture lies in instant community resonance. As AI technology drives a product revolution, SunPump swiftly introduced AI tools to accelerate its Meme ecosystem, showcasing leadership in blockchain-AI convergence.
In December 2024, SunPump launched SunAgent, the first AI Agent in the TRON ecosystem. Utilizing advanced technologies like deep learning and natural language processing, SunAgent offers unprecedented convenience. Users can generate key information such as token names, symbols, descriptions, and images simply by conversing with SunAgent, revolutionizing the token creation experience.
In March 2025, building on SunAgent’s success, SunPump launched SunGenX—an AI-powered Meme token creation tool. Based on the TRON blockchain, SunGenX enables fully automated Meme token generation. Users only need to mention @Agent_SunGenX on X, input the token name, symbol, and description, and SunGenX automatically completes intelligent generation, contract deployment, and on-chain issuance—all within minutes. This reduces technical barriers to near zero, maximizes inclusive participation in Meme culture, and drastically accelerates responsiveness to market trends.
When AI tools lower issuance barriers and unleash a flood of assets, SunPump applies critical controls at the pricing stage using a Bonding Curve model, dynamically adjusting prices based on supply. This reduces bubble risks from unchecked inflation at the source. Crucially, when a token reaches 100% of its Bonding Curve, all liquidity is deposited into SunSwap and burned, enhancing token value and boosting market confidence.
Since launch, SunPump has rolled out numerous product updates and feature enhancements, significantly improving user experience and expanding its ecosystem boundaries—evolving into a more complete and diverse Meme asset issuance and trading ecosystem.
This integrated toolkit of “asset discovery → value assessment → consensus reinforcement” has transformed SunPump into a central hub for full-lifecycle Meme asset management:
● Sunflare: Tracks tokens with Bonding Curve progress ≥80%, precisely capturing early-stage value opportunities and keeping users ahead of the market.
● SunPump Ranking: Provides real-time rankings based on key metrics like trading volume and market cap, offering clear investment references.
● Dlive Live Streaming: SunPump partnered with Dlive to launch live streaming, enabling Meme project teams to better engage with their communities.
IV. Ecosystem Synergy: Powering a Robust Liquidity Engine
Beyond product innovation, SunPump’s fundamental competitive edge lies in the massive and thriving TRON ecosystem. According to TRONSCAN data, the TRON ecosystem now hosts over 320 million accounts, providing a stable traffic source for SunPump’s Meme coins. TRON’s on-chain USDT issuance exceeds $82.6 billion, dominating the global stablecoin market—this serves as SunPump’s de facto “collateral,” injecting abundant liquidity into the Meme ecosystem. Analogous to physical commerce, SunPump is like a well-established “Pop Mart” store located inside the city’s busiest shopping mall (TRON).
In SunPump’s design philosophy, ecosystem traffic is mutually reinforcing. While leveraging TRON’s strong infrastructure, SunPump also reciprocally enriches the TRON ecosystem.
One week after SunPump’s launch, TRON’s core metrics and ecosystem showed significant growth, with average daily transactions exceeding 8 million and nearly 3 million daily active users. Among public blockchain platforms, TRON ranked first with $3.84 million in revenue—triple that of Ethereum ($1.12 million) and six times that of Solana ($545,000).
To further accelerate ecosystem synergy, during its first month, SunPump made a major decision: allocating 100% of protocol revenue into a smart contract to automatically buy back and burn SUN tokens in a decentralized, verifiable manner, returning value to the community and continuously empowering token value. Placing community value above platform profits is not merely a strategy—it reflects TRON’s long-standing ecosystem philosophy.
To date, the SUN buyback and burn mechanism has run steadily for 45 cycles, with over 639 million SUN tokens burned cumulatively, including 285 million repurchased and burned using SunPump-generated revenue. This not only accelerates SUN’s deflation but tightly links the prosperity of the Meme ecosystem to the overall value uplift of the TRON blockchain, creating a positive feedback loop.
While strengthening its own "hard power," SunPump actively collaborates with other TRON ecosystem projects. Recognizing the natural alignment between Meme culture and NFTs in community-driven engagement and collectible value, SunPump partnered with APENFT, a flagship NFT platform in the TRON ecosystem, to launch NFT Pump—the first fair-launch NFT issuance platform on the TRON network. This breaks down value barriers between Meme coins and NFTs, offering creators a new way to transform pop culture symbols and community consensus into unique digital collectibles, greatly enriching the ecosystem’s depth and expression.
V. Community Celebration: Igniting the Sacred Flame of Emotion
In its early days, SunPump’s official X account attracted attention from Mario Nawfal, founder of IBC Group, a million-follower X influencer, and the world’s most active and widely listened-to Web3 Spaces host. Mario Nawfal co-hosted a highly anticipated X Space seminar with Mr. Justin Sun, founder of TRON, and the SunPump team, drawing widespread participation and elevating SunPump’s visibility.
SunPump deeply understands the importance of brand awareness in Web3, so it extends beyond online presence to actively participate in top-tier global industry summits, bringing "TRON Meme culture" to the world stage. From Tron Inc.’s Nasdaq listing and Justin Sun’s “space journey,” to Token2049 Dubai, Hong Kong Web3 Festival, and title sponsorship of the Middle East’s premier summit Meta Crypto Oasis 2025… SunPump has appeared at multiple international events. These appearances have significantly boosted its brand influence in key markets like North America, East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, while showcasing TRON’s achievements and unique appeal in Meme culture to the global Web3 community, attracting global traffic and resources.
Simultaneously, SunPump elevates community building into a cultural co-creation initiative, sustaining global engagement through a high-frequency event matrix. From daily SunFlush topic polls to monthly ecosystem celebrations, each interaction becomes a catalyst for community cohesion. Notably, the TRON Meme Carnival co-hosted with HTX, and the "Interstellar Heatwave" Ecosystem Month—a collaboration between SunPump, JUST, BitTorrent, and four other projects—best exemplify SunPump’s community management prowess.
The month-long TRON Meme Carnival featured rich activities including creation challenges, interactive tasks, in-depth Space interviews, and airdrop rewards, with a prize pool totaling 50,000 USDT. Over 40,000 users participated deeply, generating over 40.57 million USDT in trading volume and nearly 20 million impressions across platforms. This celebration unleashed the immense vitality of TRON’s Meme culture and demonstrated the powerful force of community-driven momentum.
The "Interstellar Heatwave" Ecosystem Month pushed TRON’s ecosystem influence and liquidity to "peak levels." During the event, over 442,000 participants joined; SunGenX issuance surged with 967 tokens created—accounting for about 80% of total platform issuance—and remained the core traffic gateway. TRON ecosystem token trading volume reached an astonishing $138 million, highlighting the ecosystem’s powerful influence and community cohesion.
To continuously consolidate community consensus, SunPump regularly hosts high-profile "SunFlash" Space roundtable forums, inviting industry thought leaders, analysts, and project founders to deeply explore the underlying logic and cutting-edge trends shaping the Meme market. Topics are timely and profound—for instance, analyzing how Musk’s rebranding to “GorklonRust” sparked a Grok-themed Meme coin frenzy, or focusing on stablecoins’ role as value anchors in volatile markets. These discussions go beyond simple price predictions, equipping the community with intellectual tools to understand market dynamics, transforming SunPump into an “emotional economy boardroom.”
Content acts as the “capillaries” connecting projects and communities. Beyond regular community events and Space roundtables, in January 2025, SunPump launched the TRON Eco Star Incentive Program for creators, recognizing and rewarding content creators who make outstanding contributions to promoting the TRON ecosystem—especially Meme culture—with an ever-growing reward pool. Creators gain recognition and motivation through this program, and their high-quality content becomes a crucial node linking SunPump, the TRON ecosystem, and broader audiences, forming a powerful network for information dissemination and value diffusion.
VI. Conclusion
To date, SunPump has completed a full ecosystem closed-loop—from automated Meme token minting, community consensus building, blockbuster incubation, listing and circulation, to value accumulation. SunPump’s “five battlefronts” reinforce each other: AI lowers creation barriers, CEXs open value channels, ecosystem synergy creates a growth flywheel, and community consensus fuels exponential growth—collectively establishing a self-evolving paradigm for the TRON Meme universe.
Through its solid achievements over the past year, SunPump has proven it is steadfastly sailing toward the “vast ocean of emotional economics.” Looking ahead to its next anniversary, SunPump’s ambitions clearly extend beyond spawning a few rapidly rising tokens. It aims to leverage community energy as fuel and innovation as engine within TRON’s high-speed blockchain universe, transforming Meme virality into a structural asset pipeline: preserving the original ignition power of “memes and community jokes” to ensure efficient cold starts, while pre-building value-conversion pathways for every Meme token to continuously pump waves of value and consensus, illuminating the infinite possibilities of Web3.
