Pump lets anyone issue a token for less than $2 in capital, after which they choose the number of tokens, theme, and meme picture to accompany it. When the market capitalization of any token reaches $69,000, a portion of liquidity is deposited to the Solana-based exchange Raydium and burned.
Pump is also available on Base and Blast networks but is most commonly used to issue memecoins on Solana. That has minted the project big money. Pump has earned $147 million since going live and is among the most profitable crypto upstarts. In an April report, CoinDesk estimated the service would earn at least $66 million in 2024.
