Pump.fun Introduces Glass Full Foundation for Memecoins

Pump.fun, the memecoin launchpad on Solana, has announced the creation of the Glass Full Foundation (GFF) to bolster liquidity for its ecosystem projects. According to their social media update, GFF aims to provide substantial financial support to key tokens, reinforcing the commitment to their dedicated communities. In the cryptocurrency realm, a foundation often serves as a legal entity, typically nonprofit, aimed at guiding project development. The initial rollout of GFF has already begun, with plans to allocate further resources to various projects, thereby aiding Pump's goal of expanding the Solana ecosystem. While the foundation emphasizes its role in significantly enhancing ecosystem growth, details on the source of its funding and the selection criteria for supported projects remain undisclosed. Last month, Pump successfully launched its native token, raising an impressive $600 million in merely 12 minutes during its initial coin offering. Subsequently, it initiated a major buyback of its token, as confirmed by on-chain analysts. However, the platform is now facing intensified competition from LetsBonk.fun, another Solana memecoin launchpad that is integrated with Raydium and supported by the Bonk memecoin community. Since reaching its peak during the memecoin boom, Pump.fun's revenue has notably diminished, dropping from over $7 million in January to approximately $200,000 early this month.
