Pump.fun, a memecoin launchpad, has achieved $100 million in revenue in just 217 days, making it the fastest-growing protocol by revenue growth in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Despite recent slowdown in platform activity, Pump.fun's revenue growth surpasses other fast-growing protocols. It has collected 684,716 SOL in revenue, primarily appealing to retail speculators and charging the highest fees of any DEX on chain. The platform's rapid revenue growth follows its adoption by degens, who created over 500,000 tokens on the platform in a month. However, facing backlash and reduced token creation, Pump.fun's revenue growth has slowed, especially after a competing memecoin launchpad was launched on the Tron network.
Pump.fun has notched $100 million in revenue in just over seven months, making it the fastest-growing protocol by revenue growth in the cryptocurrency ecosystem—even as activity on the platform has slowed in recent weeks. The memecoin launchpad, which debuted in January, hit $100 million in revenue in 217 days, data from Dune Analytics shows. That’s 34 days less than it took the next fastest-growing protocol, ENA, to hit the same revenue benchmark, according to an analysis from Ryan Watkins, data-focused hedge fund Syncracy Capital’s co-founder.
“Revenue growth was partially due to it appealing best to retail speculators, but also because it charges the highest fees of any DEX on chain,” Watkins told Decrypt. Other fast-growing protocols include CVX, CAKE and AERO, which took 306, 325, and 338 days to notch $100 million in revenue, respectively, the analysis—which cites data from Token Terminal, DefiLlama and Syncracy—shows.
DeFi protocols’ revenues are made up of the total fees they charge their users minus the portion paid out to their liquidity providers. Pump.fun has collected 684,716 SOL in revenue, worth roughly $92,066,900, as of writing, according to CoinGecko data. Pump.fun’s record-smashing revenue growth follows the Solana-based protocol’s whirlwind adoption by degens, who created more than 500,000 tokens on the platform in a month—many promoted with wild antics. In early July, the protocol’s daily revenue hit $1.99 million, surpassing that of the Ethereum network, DeFiLlama data shows.
Watkins noted that revenue is only one metric by which to measure success, adding that “active addresses interacting with Pump’s contracts” are also significant. Last month, the platform made it possible to launch tokens for free, and offered incentives for successful releases. But facing backlash for the unrelenting volume of token launches, activity on the platform has since tapered off, leading to a slowdown in the protocol’s revenue growth.
On Saturday, memecoin degens created just 5,388 tokens on the altcoin launchpad—roughly 73% fewer tokens than the number they deployed on the platform roughly three weeks ago, according to Dune Analytics data. As token creation on the platform has fallen off, so has the pace at which Pump.fun’s revenue has grown: in the past week, Pump.fun has raked in an average of roughly 2,819 SOL in 24-hour revenue. That's 20% of the 13,511 SOL all-time-high daily revenue it recorded on June 30.
Pump.fun’s dip in average daily revenue comes shortly after Justin Sun launched SunPump, a competing memecoin launchpad, on the Tron network on August 15.
