On July 27, according to the crypto research institution Dumpster DAO, "pump.fun may be preparing to launch a trading volume incentive program lasting at least 30 days, with PUMP as the reward token. The official Pump SDK has recently been updated to support the incentive mechanism, adding an administrator function that can set incentive parameters, including how many PUMP tokens are distributed daily.
Additionally, methods for tracking user trading volume and claiming PUMP rewards have been added. The current incentive plan is based on a 30-day incentive cycle, but this mechanism can be reused or extended if the team wishes. The IDL (Interface Description Language) of the Pump Bonding Curve program was also updated a few hours ago, indicating that trading volume based on the bonding curve may also be included in the incentive rewards.
The total number of reward tokens for this incentive plan is currently unclear. In an updated SDK test version, 1 billion PUMP tokens are set to be distributed daily. However, this is just a test file, and if distributed at this rate, 3% of the total supply would be distributed in a month, which seems too high, and the actual distribution ratio may be adjusted.
These changes have not yet been officially launched. But given that Pump's trading volume has clearly declined compared to competitors like BONK.fun, the team seems to be trying to regain market share through an incentive plan."
BlockBeats Note: This information has not yet been confirmed by pump.fun's official team and is only discovered by the community through SDK updates. More information awaits official disclosure.
