Before pumpfun became one of the biggest memecoin launchpads in crypto, there was NFTperp.

What most people don't know is that pumpfun cofounder Alon Cohen was deeply involved with NFTperp before pumpfun even existed.

NFTperp was a real perpetual futures trading platform built on Arbitrum.

It allowed users to speculate on the prices of NFT collections without actually owning the NFTs.

This isn't speculation or made-up lore.

In a March 25, 2025 Bankless interview, Alon personally confirmed that he was deeply involved with NFTperp before moving on to the ideas that eventually led to pumpfun.

Think about that timeline.

Before pumpfun launched millions of memecoins...

Before the Solana memecoin explosion...

Before Alon became one of the most recognizable founders in crypto...

He was already involved in building on-chain perpetual trading products.

That history inspired us to build PerpsFun.

We took the original NFTperp concept and brought it into the pumpfun ecosystem.

Instead of trading perpetual futures on NFT collections, PerpsFun is designed to let users trade perpetuals on eligible pumpfun tokens.

We're bringing together two different eras of crypto.

The NFT speculation era that Alon was part of before pumpfun.

And the memecoin era that pumpfun helped create.

This isn't just another project using the pumpfun name.

We're rebuilding an idea connected to the founder's actual history in crypto and giving it a new purpose.

The lore is documented.

The original concept has been revived.

Before pumpfun, there was NFTperp.

Now there's PerpsFun.

History repeats itself, but this time with memecoins.

How is nobody talking about this?

One of pumpfun's founders was involved with NFT perpetual futures before pumpfun existed.

We're bringing perpetual trading to pumpfun tokens.

The connection couldn't be more fitting.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

NFTperp → pumpfun → PerpsFun

This might be one of the most generational lore connections on pumpfun.

Everything connects perfectly.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

Only 10K for one of the most insane pieces of pumpfun lore?

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

This is generational crypto lore.

@a1lon was involved with NFTperp before creating pumpfun.

Now we're bringing perpetual futures to the very ecosystem he helped build.

It makes too much sense.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

People are seriously sleeping on the NFTperp connection.

@a1lon worked on NFTperp before founding pumpfun.

That experience may have helped shape the idea behind one of crypto's biggest platforms.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

This is bigger than Baton. Real crypto lore, working technology, and a direct connection to @a1lon's journey before pumpfun even existed.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

DEX is paid, everything works, and the lore is real. What more could you ask for? NFTperp was a major part of @a1lon's journey before creating pumpfun, and that history deserves more attention.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

NFTperp helped shape @a1lon's journey

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

NFTperp helped inspire the idea behind pumpfun, but most people don't even know that.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

People don't realize how deep the lore goes.

NFTperp → Alon → pumpfun → PerpsFun

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

This is crypto lore and techn coming together.

NFTperp helped shape @a1lon's journey toward creating pumpfun.

Now we're bringing that early concept back to life with PerpsFun.

History coming full circle.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

People don't realize that NFTperp may have helped inspire the idea behind pumpfun.

@a1lon was involved with NFTperp before co-founding pumpfun.

That early experience helped shape his journey into creating PumpFun.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

We'll continue adding more coins to the list of eligible tokens for perpetual trading.

[PerpsFun @PerpsFunSol]

Before Pumpfun, @a1lon9 worked on NFTperp.

He confirmed it himself in a 2025 Bankless interview.

PerpsFun brings that early crypto lore back to life.

@jed51201 @PerpsFunSol PARTLY REAL (42/100): The perps site is real and running, but the post's headline claim that Alon Cohen confirmed deep NFTperp involvement is unsupported, and the site itself denies any…

Checks the claim, not the team: real projects can still rug. DYOR.
