Pump.fun Launches Creator Rewards Program for Solana-Based Meme Coins

Pump.fun, an independent platform built on Solana, has introduced a new creator rewards program to incentivize meme coin creators and foster innovation within the DeFi ecosystem. This program, which is set to launch in April 2025, offers creators 0.5 SOL upon reaching a $69,000 market cap, with an estimated funding potential of $7 million based on predicted volumes. Pump.fun’s initiative aims to boost Solana’s popularity and liquidity by rewarding creators for their success. The program is built on the robust infrastructure of Solana, which supports the creation of SPL-based meme coins. As a result, market activity has surged, exceeding $14.6 billion in April 2025 through Pump.fun and PumpSwap combined. This surge in trading volume creates new opportunities for creators and investors alike. The program’s fair-launch model eliminates pre-allocation scams, bolstering confidence and trust within the ecosystem.
