In total, Pump.fun’s ICO was set to sell 33% of PUMP’s 1 trillion token supply, with 18% having already been allocated earlier via a private sale. The public allocation was recently lowered from 15% to 12.5%, which sold out in just 12 minutes.
Its other allocations include 20% for the team behind the project, 24% for community and ecosystem incentives, 13% for existing investors, 2.6% for liquidity, 2.4% for an ecosystem fund, with the remaining for a foundation fund and live streaming incentives.
Pump.fun allows anyone to mint and list a coin with a new token in a few clicks. When a freshly minted token reaches a specific threshold, it gets listed on decentralized exchanges.
The sale comes as the token launchpad’s metrics show a deepening decline in activity. DeFiLlama data shows that in January Pump.fun’s launchpad volume was above $11.6 billion, and has since been steadily declining to $3.65 billion last month.
Similarly, revenue generated via the launchpad dropped from $133 million in the first month of the year to nearly $34 million last month, according to DeFiLlama data.
While launchpad volumes plunged, Pump.fun’s decentralized exchange PumpSwap, which was launched in March, has been making up for the decline, seeing $14.3 billion of volume in May and $10 billion last month. Revenue for PumpSwap stood at $7 and $5 million for those months, per the same data source.
