Pump.fun Is Letting Users Launch Tokens for Free—And Receive 0.5 SOL When It Completes Its Bonding Curve

Pump.fun, the meme coin factory, has released an update that allows users to launch tokens for free and receive 0.5 SOL ($79) when their coin completes its bonding curve. Previously, users had to pay 0.02 SOL ($3) to launch a token. The change has received mixed responses from the community, with some seeing it as an incentive for developers while others are concerned about potential exploitation and increased saturation of meme coins.
