Pump.fun is reportedly preparing to launch a trading volume incentive program using its native PUMP token, as it seeks to regain market share from competitors. While the company has not made an official announcement, the discovery of recent SDK updates by crypto research group Dumpster DAO has fueled market speculation.
The updates introduce new features for incentive configuration and trading volume tracking, which point to a potential new rewards mechanism. The program is believed to be designed to boost trading activity on the platform, which has seen a significant decline in market share to rivals like BONK.fun.
According to a note from Dumpster DAO, a test file within a recent SDK version suggested a distribution of 1 billion PUMP tokens per day. However, the report cautions that this is likely placeholder data, as this rate would distribute 3% of the total supply in just one month, which seems unusually high.
The rumors and SDK updates have already caused a rise in PUMP’s trading volume and price. However, without official confirmation from the Pump.fun team, the details of the program, its sustainability, and its true impact on the PUMP token’s long-term value remain uncertain. The move is a clear indication that Pump.fun is actively seeking to address its competitive challenges and re-energize its user base.
