TechFlow news — On January 20, Pump Fun announced via its official Twitter that it has established an investment arm called Pump Fund and launched the "Build in Public Hackathon" with a total fund of $3 million. The hackathon will support 12 projects, each receiving $250,000 in funding at a $10 million valuation, along with mentorship from Pump Fun founders.
Participating projects must launch a token, build publicly, and hold at least 10% of the token supply. Unlike traditional hackathons, this event adopts a tokenized model where market dynamics, rather than judges, determine project value. Applications are due by February 18, 2026, and the first batch of winners will be announced within 30 days.
