Legal is often the most boring part of building, especially in the prediction/betting space, therefore I rarely talk about it

For the last 3 months we have been heads down working on legal, entities, and licensing

As of today, we received our gaming license. Mainnet is coming.

[Pop Punk 🇺🇸 @PopPunkOnChain]

I've been locked into this app all day for the last 2 days since I announced the @cademarket ACE round. I'm reading EVERYTHING related to ACE, even if I don't reply to it.

I wanted to talk about a few things that i'm seeing.

1. ACE did not create equity at Pumpcade. Equity existed the moment I raised a pre-seed round. That is not some special thing ACE introduced after the fact. That is just how startups work. If a company raises venture capital, there is an equity layer. That was already true here.

What I think people are missing is that this equity layer already exists in almost every company in crypto that has both a company and a token. Usually it is just not visible to the public. The private investors sit on one layer, the token trades on another layer, and most people pretend those two things are not both there. ACE did not invent that structure. ACE makes that structure transparent and gives token holders the option to access the same equity layer that Pumpcade investors have. That is the key point. Not creating some hidden extra thing. Exposing what already exists and opening access to it.

2. ACE was not a quick and fast decision made to retrofit the 2 fundraising rounds. I was presented with ACE a few months ago, long before I had accepted a single dollar of venture capital. I knew that I needed to raise venture capital to build, scale, and operate Pumpcade. Creator fees alone can not run a company doing what we are planning on doing.

3. I looked at all options that try to align token <> equity, and ACE was the one that best fit what my goals were. I wanted to give the OPTION to have access to the equity layer of Pumpcade. There are a few other options, and I am not against them for certain use cases, but ACE is what best fits Pumpcade. Other options typically result in the token becoming the sole product, which overshadows the actual product that a team is building. This frequently results in teams being pressured into making short term corrective actions to address short term price movement. A team raises capital to build a product. A team should not raise capital to immediately spend buying back their token because prices can be volatile.

The optionality of ACE is the most important thing to me, and ultimately why I decided to do it. I wanted to give the option to have access to the equity layer. I didn't want to force everyone (VCs and the public) into a different path.

We are building Pumpcade for the long term, and everyone involved with Pumpcade (team, investors, advisors) are heads down building this long term future where we put Pumpcade in front of the masses.

Pumpcade

[Pop Punk 🇺🇸 @PopPunkOnChain]

I spent 5 months banging my head against the wall pitching VCs for them to usually just reject my product outright due to the live token.

Fast forward, and we've raised $6M across 2 rounds in the span of 12 days from some of the most powerful VCs in the industry.

A live token should not stop you. If your product is good, the necessary venture capital is not off the table. A lot of VCs don't understand this yet, but I believe that with @cademarket we will rewrite the playbook on this.

Launching $PUMPCADE allowed me to quit my job and bootstrap the first 6 months of my company. The community backed me and allowed me to build an MVP and get instant feedback on every feature I released.

We're in the big leagues now. We are well capitalized and are setting ourselves up to deliver an experience unlike anything you've seen before.

The fastest prediction markets. Any verifiable source. Resolved Instantly.

Extremely grateful for our investors (@foundationcap @jump_ @pumpfun @radiosolace), our community of token holders, my team (@steoniy @gnarzilla), and a final extra shoutout to Pump Fun again for making this possible and supporting builders.

Anyways, Pumpcade.

[Cade @CadeMarket]

We're proud to announce that we have closed another oversubscribed funding round for $5M

We're bringing on @jump_ for their expertise in revolutionary decentralized technology and are excited to have @foundationcap double down on fast paced instantly resolved markets

The Wise Ones Podcast Eps. 7 - @PopPunkOnChain, Founder of $PUMPCADE

Hosted by @Wisemenmentors

We present to you the seventh episode of The Wise Ones Podcast.

Pop is back. This is his second time sitting down with The Wise Ones, and if you thought Episode 4 told the full story, you weren't even close.

Six months ago, $PUMPCADE was pre-product. A gaming concept with a token and a community that believed before there was anything to believe in. Pop was building alone, shipping every feature, every screen, every line of code by himself with no team, no salary, and no guarantee any of it would work.

What $PUMPCADE has become since then looks nothing like what it started as. The product evolved. The vision sharpened. And along the way, Pop's community did something so unprecedented it might be the most powerful moment in this entire interview.

This conversation is the rawest founder story we've ever recorded. Pop holds nothing back about what it took to get here, what almost broke him, and why he's never been more locked in than he is right now.

If you hold $PUMPCADE, build on @Pumpfun, or want to understand what it actually looks like to build a real company from a token launch, this is the interview.

In this conversation, we explore:

The transformation: What $PUMPCADE has become and why it looks nothing like the product Pop described in Episode 4.

The solo founder grind: What it actually costs to build every single feature alone for six months without paying yourself a dime from creator fees.

The conversation with his wife: The moment she told him to consider getting a job if this doesn't work out, and why his answer reveals everything about who Pop is as a builder.

Building in public: Why launching the token before the product existed was the smartest move he made, and why he'd do it again without hesitation.

The community moment: What the $PUMPCADE army did when Pop needed support for the biggest opportunity of his career. Nobody asked them to. They just showed up.

Why Pump Fun is the best incubator in crypto: Pop doesn't hold back on his endorsement of @Pumpfun and breaks down why he believes there's no better place for a builder to launch a project and get real support.

AI native development: How tools like Claude Code allowed a backend and smart contract engineer to ship an entire front-end product solo, and what that means for the next generation of builders.

The new team: Who Pop brought on, where they came from, and why he believes he now has one of the strongest engineering teams in the industry. @gnarzilla
@steoniy

The shift to wartime CEO: How Pop went from writing every line of code to managing a team, running a roadmap, and thinking about $PUMPCADE at a level the project now demands.

The VC problem: Why raising venture capital with a live token is still broken, how the model is being forced to change with, and what Pop thinks replaces it.

The agent layer: How $PUMPCADE already supports AI agents creating markets, placing trades, and claiming winnings the same way a human can.

Locked in from day one: The @Wisemenmentors community were among the earliest investors in $PUMPCADE. Six months later, nothing has changed. This interview is a reflection of that conviction.

What's next: Where $PUMPCADE is headed and why Pop has never been more confident about what's coming.

This is the unfiltered story of a builder who bet everything on himself, built in public when it would have been easier to quit, and earned the kind of community loyalty that money can't buy.

No hype. Just building in public and letting the work speak.

We hope you enjoy.

About The Wise Ones: The Wise Ones Podcast sits down with the builders and strategists shaping crypto's future before the mainstream catches on.

[Pop Punk 🇺🇸 @PopPunkOnChain]

Biggest announcement in @cademarket history this week.

Big leagues type shit.

[Pop Punk 🇺🇸 @PopPunkOnChain]

War time CEO arc has begun.

Here's what the next few weeks look like for @cademarket:

1. First engineer onboards this week. Second engineer onboards end of next week (most likely)
2. Engineers focuses are on infrastructure and scaling right off the bat, as well as implementation of below point.
3. Beginning work soon with a design studio. A ground up re-imagination of the Pumpcade platform. I built the entire UX alone, and i'm FAR from a UX designer. This studio will help us design Pumpcade into the most fun place on the internet to make (or lose) money. Pumpcade is a prediction market platform, but has an offering unlike anyone else. We want to heavily lean into this and have the app reflect what we offer.
4. Open Beta. When we're at a stable place for the app, we're going to remove the need for access codes. Beta for all.
5. Protocol audit. There are a few improvements and features that i'm planning for the Pumpcade protocol. Once these are made, we'll kick off the security audit.
6. GTM and partnerships. Pumpcade will not be a simple "hey we are live tweet". That's all I will say.
7. Other announcements that I unfortunately can't share. Sorry for the "announcement of an announcement".

My team and I intend on moving at the speed of light. I shipped fast alone, so try and imagine what it's going to look like with 2 more of me on the team.

Pumpcade.
