Huge criticism towards @Pumpfun
You're boasting high daily revenues when in reality that volume is being spoofed by all the PvP directly enabled by your modes/fee sharing features.
The same set of traders are forced to buy the same exact narrative 5 times over, completely killing onchain ceilings while you go on to retweet your daily revenues overtaking HL.
Really shows your true colors...
Iβve said this before and Iβll keep saying it - unless a launchpad has a breakthrough app AND a flywheel that requires owning its token, it canβt compete with Pump. Not sustainably.
Pump is probably impossible to dethrone at the mass market level. But mass market isnβt the only game. Thereβs a Rolls-Royce niche sitting open.
Think about YC. We only care about it because of the companies that came out of it. Same logic applies to every launchpad ever built your reputation is entirely downstream of your outputs.
MetaDAO was the only project I saw come close to building a real moat here. They had something. But they fumbled it - quality control collapsed, focus drifted, and the platform paid the price.
The playbook is "obvious" but the execution graveyard is full.
