it took less than 6 hours since announcing the Padre acquisition until it went from the #5 terminal by Solana trading volume to #2. getting closer to #1 every hour
don't be late.
Axiom bros called me crazy using @tradingterminal early on, Alon has the same to say about the team that I did months ago.
Wasn’t wrong, just early. Nobody deserves it more than the Padre team.
Congrats to all of them, job not finished

today marks another historic day for the $PUMP ecosystem
What we’re known for is innovating, growing the market as a whole and creating the most retail-friendly products. But we have always wanted to find more ways to support and reward our existing, loyal user base, most of which uses pro trading terminals.
When making major changes to pump fun’s smart contracts, we’re constantly in touch with pro trading terminals that have integrated our infrastructure so that user experience is unaffected.
While most teams - even the most established players - regularly mess up, causing temporary outages and user losses, the Padre team have always been on point and showed the highest degree of professionalism.
And while observing the ecosystem closely over the past months, I noticed that they always integrated new launchpads, chains, and features before everyone else. With less time in the market, fewer resources, and less distribution, they were able to become one of the most popular trading tools onchain, an incredibly impressive feat. I very clearly remember how users that initially joked about Padre turned into loyal users of the product only weeks later.
The Padre team has shown the most grit, execution capability and integrity out of any crypto team I have gotten to know.
Most importantly, when I spoke to some of our users that use Padre’s products, the #1 piece of feedback I received is that they’re far and away the most responsive, caring, and competent team in the game.
Partnering with Padre was a no-brainer.
Starting today, we will be dedicating significant resources and attention to making Padre the #1 pro trading terminal in the space by giving users the most advanced, performant, and rewarding product.
I’m also incredibly excited to incorporate one of the top revenue generators in DeFi into the $PUMP ecosystem.
to all onchain traders: now’s probably a good time to make the switch.
Become your own biggest fan.
Talk relentlessly about everything you're creating.
Because if you don't, no one else will.
Twitter is the best feedback loop you'll ever have.
Holy shit.
Padre (@tradingterminal) just got acquired by PumpFun.
Here's the data snapshot post-acquisition:
Padre currently sits as #5 biggest Solana trading bot with 4.3% market share last week vs Axiom's 67.8% dominance.
$1B in lifetime volume / $10M fees generated.
For comparison, Axiom has $32B lifetime volume & $322M in fees.
I have a feeling Padre's numbers will grow.
- Streamer with over 1m followers, @BunnyFuFuu switches over to @pumpdotfun streaming.
- Makes over 140k in creator fees after just 24 hours of streaming.
- This is the start of the https://t.co/iXoiyBeENF streaming takeover. If you see what’s happening you’re early.

good morning
since first getting traction for pump fun over a year ago, I have not been this excited to wake up and work on pump fun
the future is bright for the onchain trenches, the creator economy, and crypto as a whole.
no, real additional revenues in a different market segment being distributed to net new users w/ large audiences external to crypto should not be assumed to have a lower ceiling than previous metas
