Launched on August 9, the meme coin platform SunPump quickly outpaced its main competitor, Solana-based Pump[dot]fun, in both the number of tokens launched and revenue generated within the first 12 days.
SunPump's Success
SunPump has seen 7,351 new tokens launched, generating $585,000 in revenue in 24 hours, according to blockchain researcher Adam Tehc. In comparison, Pump[dot]fun, which has been a dominant force in the meme coin market, saw 6,701 tokens launched and $366,000 in revenue during the same period.
SunPump Features
One of the key factors contributing to SunPump's success is its bonding curve mechanism, which ensures liquidity is always available for trading, reducing the risks associated with price volatility. When a project reaches 100% of its bonding curve at a value of $69,420, the smart contract automatically deposits about 100,000 TRX and 200 million tokens into the SunSwap V2 liquidity pool. Additionally, SunPump charges a creation fee of 20 TRX and imposes a 1% trading fee, maintaining the platform's sustainability and attracting traders.
Concerns and Criticisms
Despite its rapid rise, SunPump's timing has raised concerns among some market observers. The meme coin market is becoming increasingly saturated, with only a tiny fraction of tokens achieving lasting success. Data shows that out of thousands of meme coins launched on platforms like Pump[dot]fun, only 41 have maintained a market capitalization exceeding $1 million for several weeks.
SunPump has quickly taken the lead in the meme coin market thanks to its innovative mechanisms and partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Poloniex. However, skepticism remains given market saturation and risks for traders.
