🚨JUST IN: @Pumpfun is replacing Cashback Mode with Holder Rewards.
Eligible holders with $20+ in holdings will automatically receive a pro rata share of trading fees several times per hour.
Existing Cashback and Creator Fee tokens can also apply to switch.
Solana generated almost 3x Ethereum’s app revenue over the last 30 days.
It did this while currently holding 88% less capital in DeFi 👀
Using today’s TVL, Solana generated ~24x as much app revenue and ~16x as much DEX volume per dollar deposited.

you made your feedback clear and we shipped fast.
today, we're replacing the Cashback option with Holder Rewards for new deploys.
now, you can very easily launch a coin paired with all of the relevant tokenized RWAs/crypto ecosystem tokens and receive rewards for holding!
alongside this change, we added over 70 Custom Pairs, comprising of tokenized stocks (via @Backpack x @sunrise & @xStocksFi), Pumpfun ecosystem tokens (e.g. ANSEM, Fartcoin, etc.), Solana-native tokens, and bridged tokens from other chains
furthermore, starting/graduation market caps for Custom Pairs are ~ the same as USDC pairs ($4k & $59k) for better coin distribution & higher ceilings
