<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://bsc.news/post/what-is-pump-fun" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Pump.fun</a>, a popular platform for launching meme coins,&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://x.com/pumpdotfun/status/1821699366630879383" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">made it free</a> for users to create tokens, removing the previous $2 fee. This cost will now be transferred to the first buyer of the new token.&nbsp;
Additionally, Pump[dot]fun has introduced new incentives for creators, offering 0.50 SOL ($80) if their tokens are listed on Raydium, a decentralized exchange (DEX) based on the Solana blockchain.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
This incentive is part of the platform's strategy to attract more users and increase the number of successful token launches.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
According to Pump[dot]fun, the new fee structure and incentives "unlock the use case of someone creating a coin without buying any of its supply." This makes it easier for creators to launch tokens without needing to invest in their own projects initially.
<h2 dir="ltr" id="span-span-the-bonding-curve-mechanism-fair-access-for-all-span-span">The Bonding Curve Mechanism: Fair Access for All</h2>
Pump[dot]fun uses a unique bonding curve mechanism for launching and trading tokens. This model is designed to ensure fair access to new coins, preventing the pre-sale advantages often seen in other crypto projects. Under this system, a token starts at a base price, and as more people buy it, the price increases predictably. This approach guarantees liquidity and ensures that there is always a market for the coin.
&nbsp;
Once a token reaches a market cap of $69,000, it qualifies for listing on Raydium. At this point, a liquidity pool is created, allowing the token to be traded more widely beyond the Pump[dot]fun platform.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The platform also burns the liquidity provider (LP) tokens after the token goes live on Raydium, effectively locking the liquidity. This guarantees that tokens can't become entirely illiquid, even if their prices drop significantly.

Pump[dot]fun has gained significant traction during the recent meme coin fever, thanks to its user-friendly interface and Solana's low transaction fees.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The platform has seen a surge in the creation of political-themed cryptocurrencies, celebrity tokens, and other meme coins. However, data shows that only a small percentage of tokens launched on Pump[dot]fun make it to Raydium.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
According to&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://dune.com/evelyn233/pump-data" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dune Analytics</a>, the success rate of Pump[dot]fun tokens reaching Raydium has fluctuated between 1.21% and 1.41% since May, with an all-time high of 2.56% in February.
&nbsp;
Despite the low success rate, the platform's revenue has soared. Last July, Pump[dot]fun generated $2 million in daily revenue, surpassing Ethereum's $1.91 million and becoming the largest revenue generator of any blockchain, according to&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://defillama.com/fees" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">DefiLlama</a>.&nbsp;
