Today, I am creating the destruction of @MeteoraAG , directly through @Pumpfun.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Through my new product, Pump Pools, I am aiming to make one of Meteora's most important use cases redundant and, in due course, get acquired by @Pumpfun.
Why?
Because single-sided AMM liquidity shouldn't require users to leave the Pump ecosystem.
How it works
Pump Pools is a liquidity desk built directly around PumpSwap.
The idea is simple:
- You have tokens → you want to turn those tokens into liquidity → Pump Pools gives you the infrastructure to do it without needing Meteora as the middleman.
- Instead of treating liquidity provision as a separate DeFi product, Pump Pools turns it into a native extension of the PumpSwap lifecycle.
Launch on https://t.co/YZ1oZxLwFQ.
Trade on PumpSwap.
Deploy and manage liquidity through Pump Pools.
One ecosystem. One liquidity loop.
The important part isn't another frontend.
It's collapsing a workflow that currently leaks users, liquidity and fees into external protocols back into the Pump ecosystem.
Why this beats Meteora
Meteora is incredibly powerful.
That's also the opportunity.
DLMM gives sophisticated LPs granular control over bins, ranges, distributions and dynamic fees.
But how many Pump users actually want to become professional market makers?
Most want a much simpler outcome:
"I own this token. I want to deploy liquidity around it. Make it easy."
Pump Pools is built around that job.
No context switching.
No learning an entirely different liquidity ecosystem.
No treating PumpSwap as merely the place where the token ends up trading.
For Pump-native assets, liquidity should be Pump-native too.
Meteora built infrastructure for liquidity providers across Solana.
Pump Pools is building liquidity infrastructure specifically for the Pump economy.
That's the wedge.
Why @Pumpfun will acquire us
- @Pumpfun already owns creation.
- PumpSwap gives it the trading venue.
- The missing layer is deeper liquidity tooling.
Every time a Pump-native project uses external infrastructure to manage liquidity, part of the economic relationship leaves the Pump ecosystem.
Pump Pools gives Pump a path to close that loop:
Create → graduate → trade → provide liquidity → earn fees → redeploy.
All without leaving Pump.
That means more liquidity retained around PumpSwap, more reasons for creators to stay inside the ecosystem, and a broader surface area for Pump to monetize.
@Pumpfun shouldn't have to send its most sophisticated liquidity users elsewhere.
It should own the entire lifecycle.
So there are two possible endings.
Either Pump builds this themselves.
Or they acquire the team that already did, exactly like Padre.
I'm betting on the second.

Okay we have officially deployed $POOLS under the CA:

Our initial posts got a lot of traction, so I am glad to say we finally have our token up and running.
I will hop on live via pumpfun to explain in more detail.
