TRON (TRX) blockchain teams up with Pump Fun to launch PumpSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX)

The TRON blockchain, one of the leading smart contract platforms created by Justin Sun, has revealed that it is teaming up with Pump Fun

TRON, the smart contract platform created by Justin Sun, is teaming up with Pump Fun, a popular memecoin launchpad, to launch PumpSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) that aims to improve the efficiency, security, and user experience of on-chain trading.

Announced on Thursday, PumpSwap will be powered by TRON’s high-speed, low-cost blockchain infrastructure, enabling users to swap tokens instantly and benefit from minimal transaction fees.

Compared to new DEXs which are struggling with high gas fees, TRON’s low transaction costs might make it a more attractive alternative.

The collaboration also aims to revolutionize decentralized finance (DeFi) trading by making it more accessible, user-friendly, and rewarding for participants.

PumpSwap will bring several innovative features to the DeFi landscape, including:

* Lightning-Fast Transactions: With TRON’s network throughput and low latency, PumpSwap users can expect to execute trades almost instantly, avoiding the common annoyance of slow transactions on other DEXs.

* Meme-Friendly Trading Hub: Given Pump Fun’s expertise in launching meme coins and community-driven tokens, PumpSwap will provide a dedicated environment for launching, trading, and promoting these types of coins.

* Liquidity Boosting Mechanisms: The platform will introduce automated liquidity rewards and incentives to encourage liquidity providers to stake and contribute to the ecosystem.

* Seamless User Experience: The platform will feature an intuitive one-click token launch system, allowing developers and communities to create and list tokens on PumpSwap with ease. It will also set up a token revenue-sharing model, where creators can earn a share of the fees generated on their tokens.

— TRON DAO (@trondao) March 20, 2025Both TRON and Pump Fun view PumpSwap as an essential step in advancing Web3 adoption and DeFi accessibility.

TRON’s founder, Justin Sun, has long advocated for a decentralized, user-centric financial ecosystem, and this partnership aligns with that vision.

Pump Fun, which has built a reputation for fueling the memecoin craze with the likes of $PEPE and $TARO, sees PumpSwap as an opportunity to bridge the gap between entertainment-driven crypto culture and serious DeFi infrastructure. Notably, this launch comes soon after it parted ways with Radiyam and now reportedly plans to launch its own memepad, LaunchLabs. The competition in the meme coin market is set to get more fierce and converging.

Thus, the collaboration aims to boost the liquidity access and cross-chain interoperability while serving as a seamless onramp for the broader Web3 ecosystem. Now it remains to be seen what further steps would it take to expand pump.fun beyond memes and transform it into a hub for crypto adoption.
