Solana Memecoin Incubator Pump Fun Is Achieving Unprecedented Levels of User Adoption

With more than $27.7 million in monthly fees for November, Pump.Fun is on track to break its all-time high in fees generated.

Solana memecoin factory Pump Fun is continuing to set new records for user adoption and activity.

According to data from blockchain analytics firm DefiLlama, Pump Fun is on track to generate more than $41.6 million in monthly fees by month's end. If activity continues at its current pace, this will represent a 36% increase from the previous all-time high of $30.5 million in fees set last month.

On Tuesday, a record 175,910 wallet addresses were active on Pump Fun, more than double the amount that were active 30 days ago, data from a Dune Analytics dashboard created by Variant data scientist Jack Gorman shows. And on Monday, crypto users launched 51,257 tokens through the memecoin factory, whereas the previous month never saw a single day where more than 36,000 tokens were created, per Gorman’s dashboard.

Both daily active addresses and daily tokens launched also achieved new peaks.

Pump Fun’s daily active addresses and daily tokens launched both also achieved new peaks, according to Gorman’s dashboard. Both metrics are shown climbing to new all-time highs in the past week.

Pump Fun is a Solana-based decentralized application (dApp) that allows users to quickly and easily create and launch their own memecoins. The factory has been a major driver of the recent memecoin craze, with 13 Pump Fun-created memecoins now boasting market caps above $100 million.

The factory's memecoins have also been among the best performing crypto assets in recent months. For instance, Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) and Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) are up more than 1,100% and 800%, respectively, in the past 30 days.

Pump Fun’s levels of activity and user adoption are also continuing to attract attention from crypto investors. In particular, several memecoins created through Pump Fun, such as Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT) and Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), have seen their markets grow to more than $100 million.

“I have a lot of people now reaching out to me, who I haven’t spoken to in a while, and they’re suddenly talking about, ‘Hey, we found this thing called Pump.Fun’ or ‘Hey, we see this meme, should we do something?’” Nicolai Søndergaard, a research analyst at blockchain analytics firm Nansen, told Unchained of the recent interest in memecoins.

While Søndergaard believes the current levels of activity are unsustainable over the long term, he said in the short term, Pump Fun could continue to set new records.

“It’s new money coming in and new interest… at least while everyone’s still talking about memes,” he said.
