PUMP

PUMP · Pump.fun

UtilityMeme-coin launchpad token — used across the Pump.fun platform.

What it is

PUMP is the brand token of Pump.fun, the Solana memecoin launchpad where, per the official site, anyone can create coins with equal access to buy and sell from the start.

Technology & consensus

PUMP lives on Solana; the Pump.fun platform uses a permissionless bonding-curve launchpad and AMM. The token itself has no consensus role.

Token utility

Not required to use the launchpad; third-party MiCA material describes promotional giveaways and possible fee rebates, buybacks, or incentives.

Key risks & notes

No official project-hosted whitepaper found; utility details come from third-party MiCA filing material, not the project. Risks: explicitly limited utility, memecoin volatility, dependence on Solana, regulatory and security concerns, and platform and reputation concentration.

Primary source

No whitepaper found. The summary below is drawn from the project’s official documentation, site, or repository instead — the substitution is disclosed, not hidden.

👁️ Evidence dossier

Verification classClass AFORA-01 scale — verification, not a quality ranking
Claim type · Platform memecoin (Solana)
What does the holder own?

Title, redemption claim, fractional ownership, reserve exposure — or just narrative.

PUMP is described as the official memecoin of the pump.fun launch platform and its swap protocol, launched via ICO in July 2025. It is not required to use the protocols, which remain permissionless; holders may opt into promotional giveaways. Independent coverage describes the token as carrying no governance, utility or fee-sharing rights at launch, though the team has discussed adding incentive mechanisms such as buybacks.

high confidence

Evidence: [1]

Verified
Who holds the underlying?

Needs an identifiable custodian or entity — not a wallet address or a label.

No underlying asset or backing exists by design. The MiCA whitepaper records token value protection schemes as not applicable, and no custodian, reserve or backing claim is made anywhere in the documentation.

high confidence

Evidence: [1]

Verified
How are reserves checked?

Custodian records → inventory → third-party audit → supply reconciliation.

No reserves exist and none are claimed. The whitepaper states PUMP has a fixed supply with no supply-adjustment mechanisms, so no reserve-check procedure exists. Note: the document's own G.5 figure (issuer-retained 750,000,000 tokens as 15% of total supply) does not reconcile with the widely reported 1 trillion total supply, suggesting a drafting inconsistency in the whitepaper.

medium confidence

Evidence: [1]

Verified
How does redemption work?

Eligibility, minimums, fees, KYC, settlement — and what happens to the token.

No redemption exists. The MiCA whitepaper's redemption field states plainly: No redemption. Promotional buybacks funded from protocol revenue are discretionary marketing activity, not a holder redemption right.

high confidence

Evidence: [1]

Verified
Who is liable if redemption fails?

A legally accountable entity and jurisdiction — not a DAO label.

An identifiable offeror exists: Golden Fields Partners Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (number 2158899), named as the offeror of the PUMP token, with applicable law and competent court in the BVI. However, the whitepaper promises holders no redemption and the offeror assumes no redemption obligation, so no redemption liability can arise under the documented terms.
