Solana<\/a>-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun<\/a> has confirmed<\/a> that its native PUMP token will debut through an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) on July 12.<\/p>\n

The token will have a total supply of 1 trillion and a structured allocation designed to serve institutional, community, and internal stakeholders.<\/p>\n

PUMP's ICO details<\/h2>\n

About 33% of the total PUMP token supply will be sold during the ICO. Of this, 18% is designated for institutional buyers through a private sale. The remaining 15% will be available to the public via major exchanges like Kraken, Bybit, KuCoin, Gate.io, Bitget, and MEXC.<\/p>\n

The platform stated that private and public sale participants will purchase the asset at $0.004 per token. Notably, all tokens purchased in the ICO will be fully unlocked once they become tradable, with no vesting period.<\/p>\n

In addition to the ICO allocation, the remaining supply will be distributed as follows: 24% will be reserved for community and ecosystem initiatives, 20% for the team, and 13% for existing investors.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Pump.fun foundation will receive 2%, the ecosystem fund will receive 2.4%, and exchange liquidity will be allocated 2.6%. Interestingly, 3% of the total token supply is set aside specifically for live streaming.<\/p>\n

The public sale will run until the 150 billion tokens are sold or until 14:00 UTC on July 15, whichever comes first. Token sale participants will receive their tokens shortly after the sale ends. However, tokens will be non-transferable for 48 to 72 hours before they can be traded.<\/p>\n

The platform stated that US and UK residents are excluded from participating in the ICO.<\/p>\n

Despite the structured rollout, Pump.fun's token distribution plan has drawn criticism from some in the crypto community.<\/p>\n

Crypto researcher Rex described<\/a> the tokenomics as exploitative. He argued that the team is allocating over 40% of the supply to itself while monetizing a community that has helped generate more than $750 million in revenue over the past year.<\/p>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

\n

“Community reward which should be the purpose of $PUMP is said to be ‘coming soon' which is just another term for ‘we do not really have a plan to airdrop.'”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pump.fun's broader goal<\/h2>\n

Looking ahead, Pump.fun outlined plans to evolve beyond its current launchpad model<\/a> into a decentralized social platform.<\/p>\n

According to the firm, it aims to become an alternative to existing social platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch by rewarding users instead of monetizing their attention.<\/p>\n

Alon Cohen, co-founder of Pump.fun, emphasized<\/a> the platform\u2019s commitment to leveraging social trends in on-chain trading. He explained that the platform aims to revolutionize livestreaming by rewarding viewers for discovering talent early and allowing creators to monetize more effectively.<\/p>\n

Cohen further stated that Pump.fun intends to foster thriving communities, movements, and even cults. He said this would create a new space for crypto-native engagement within the social media landscape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
