The development of a new automated market maker (AMM) by Pump.fun might shift the dynamics of Solana, moving away from Raydium's dominance. This event is accompanied by enhanced security measures against hackers.
Impact of Pump.fun’s AMM on Raydium
Pump.fun is testing a new AMM that could replace Raydium as the main liquidity provider on Solana. According to sources, a test version of amm.pump.fun has been spotted, which analysts believe could signify a redirection of liquidity from Raydium. Should Pump.fun fully implement its AMM, it could significantly impact pricing policies and liquidity management, leveraging benefit from the redistribution of fee allocations. Recently, the RAY token fell over 28% in price, associated with expectations of reduced Raydium's revenue.
Pump.fun’s AMM Model and Potential Fee Adjustments
Analysts suggest that Pump.fun’s new AMM might feature higher swap fees, ranging from 2% to 3%, potentially coupled with a reward system for the community. Since its launch, Pump.fun has amassed over $509 million in transaction fees, and implementing its proprietary AMM could solidify its position in Solana’s meme coin liquidity segment.
Pump.fun’s Measures Against Money Laundering
In addition to its AMM development, Pump.fun is intensifying measures to prevent money laundering through meme coins following the $1.4 billion Bybit hack. Pump.fun promptly responded to the detection of a hacker-linked wallet that used the platform to create the QinShihuang token, which quickly amassed $26 million in trading volume. The platform swiftly excluded and blacklisted the token in an attempt to halt money laundering. In turn, Bybit and other market players actively supported Pump.fun’s efforts towards maintaining security.
Pump.fun’s AMM development could become a significant event for the Solana market, influencing Raydium’s stability and the overall meme coin market. The upcoming weeks will be decisive in understanding how events will unfold within Solana's decentralized finance landscape.
