In the Solana-based memecoin universe, competition has intensified between Pump.fun and Moonshot. Each presents its unique approaches to trading and token creation.
Pump.fun 2.0 Update
On June 27, 2025, Pump.fun unveiled its 2.0 upgrade, which includes a suite of tools aimed at memecoin traders. New features such as the 'Movers Feed' and 'tap-to-ape' focus on improving the speed of trading operations and cater to its target audience—traders for whom quick execution is vital.
Moonshot Create Launch
Shortly after the Pump.fun upgrade, Moonshot launched its product Moonshot Create, allowing users to create memecoins using Apple Pay in just three taps. This feature aims to attract regular users unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies, showcasing the platform's rapid growth.
Comparison of Pump.fun and Moonshot Strategies
While Pump.fun emphasizes fast transaction speeds and incentivizes token creators through its revenue distribution model, Moonshot focuses on simplifying the token creation process. Both strategies seek to address the ongoing 'pump-and-dump' problem prevalent in the memecoin ecosystem.
The upcoming changes in Pump.fun's and Moonshot's strategies highlight a trend towards diversification in the memecoin world. Each platform has strengths that may determine their future competitiveness.
