TRENCHES ARE BACK.
Full breakdown of why Solana memecoins were dying and how @Pumpfun and @bonkfun are fixing it right now.
What’s up CT.
I just went deep into the latest tweets from founders and platforms. And honestly this is not just “updates” anymore. It feels like a real turning point. A vibe shift that many of us were waiting for for months but almost stopped believing would actually happen.
Below is a long but easy to read breakdown
about the pain we all went through and the real steps that are already starting to fix it.
It takes about 3 minutes to read but if you have been in the trenches you will understand why it matters.
Save it if it resonates. Repost if you felt this too.
What actually happened? 4 key tweets in 48 hours
@a1lon9 co founder of @Pumpfun finally said out loud what everyone has been shouting about in the shadows:
Vamping and griefing
when a dev sets creator fees to a “friend” first lets the coin gain traction and then quietly switches fees to themselves.
Holders are left with nothing and trust dies within hours.
Update from March 24:
• Every token now launches with regular creator fees
• Creator has one chance to change the distribution
• After that it is locked forever except CTO
• All old tokens with fee distribution are already locked
This is a small code change but a massive trust shift.

@Pumpfun on March 23 dropped a manifesto that felt like the entire scene speaking at once:
“bring back bag working
bring back MAX RAIDS!!!
bring back telegram voice chats
fuck it bring buybots back too”
Alon replied simply and perfectly:
“let’s run it the fuck back”

@Pumpfun on March 25 doubled down on the vibe shift:
“vibe shift + no more microwaves + chud supremacy + dude with a learning disability and $23 invested has a question for the dev + what if we all make it”
And that last part is literally what this whole space was built on.

The real pain everyone felt but did not say out loud
Let’s be honest.
Trenches are tired.
Not from volatility. Not from risk.
But from feeling like exit liquidity over and over again.
• Vamping and griefing destroyed trust in devs
• Microwaves killed conviction with sub one minute holds
• Culture died no raids no voice chats no sense of together
• Only bots quick flips and empty chats remained
And most importantly
belief disappeared.
It used to be a cult.
A place where even a guy with 23 dollars could ask a dev a question and actually feel like he belonged.
Now it is PvP FUD and burnout.
People blamed platforms.
Said everything was sold out to suits.
And for the first time in a while the response was not “you are the problem” but:
“we hear you”
How they are fixing it and why it might work
Technically @Pumpfun :
Fee lock plus one redirect makes classic griefing much harder.
It is not perfect but it is a signal that the rules are changing.
And more importantly this fix came after feedback from hundreds of traders.
Culturally @Pumpfun and @bonkfun:
They are not just fixing code.
They are bringing back the atmosphere:
• bag working
• raids
• voice chats
• buybots
• and that feeling of “we all make it”
This is about bringing the soul back not just liquidity.
Economically @bonkfun:
49k for real communities is not a joke.
Now it is not only profitable to flip.
It is profitable to build.
Why this matters:
• Incentives are shifting back to builders not just snipers
• Founders gave the green light you can believe again
• Focus is moving from quantity to quality
What this means for us
We are at a real reset point.
Many already wrote trenches off.
Many burned out left or just stopped believing.
But something rare is happening now:
platforms are not ignoring the problem they are acknowledging it and fixing it.
Technically
Culturally
Economically
That feedback loop everyone talked about but never actually saw.
Now it is on us:
• Make content worth reposting
• Bring back raids and voice chats
• Support projects that are actually building
• Give real feedback not just FUD
Final thoughts:
We are going back to the roots.
To the kind of cults where even someone with 23 dollars could feel part of something bigger.
The vibe shift already happened.
You either feel it or you do not.
No more microwaves.
Chud supremacy.
Bagwork szn.
Trenches are slowly healing.
And if you have been here before you know exactly what that feels like.
I am personally very bullish on $Kilroy I have been watching this coin for a long time and I see that real old school energy in it.
I suggest we start bagwork from it and try to build something real around it. We did it once which means we can do it again
We are so fucking back.
