Solana-based memecoin platform Pumpfun will launch its native PUMP token through a public sale starting July 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM UTC. The sale offers 150 billion PUMP tokens (15% of the total 1 trillion supply) priced at $0.004 per token, valuing the project at $4 billion. Participants can purchase tokens via Pumpfun's website or Gate.io exchange with a minimum purchase requirement and no upper limits during the 72-hour sale window.
PUMP will serve as a utility token within Pumpfun's ecosystem, granting access to giveaways and incentives, though not mandatory for platform usage. The platform enables permissionless, zero-cost token creation on Solana using an automated market maker model that ensures fair pricing and transparent tokenomics with no taxes or reserves.
Analysts warn of potential volatility, with DWF Ventures advising traders to 'remain sidelined until prices stabilize'. Historical patterns suggest Solana may experience temporary TVL boosts and chain congestion, while PUMP could face significant post-launch price swings. The sale aims to accelerate Solana adoption amid growing interest in its decentralized token tools.
