The leaked code from Pump.fun’s presale contract has caused a stir in the crypto world. Shared details show that users who purchased tokens ending with ‘-bonk’ in recent weeks were banned from the presale. This restriction reveals a notable strategy in how the project selects its investors. The leaked line of code — tx.tokenTransfers?.some(transfer => transfer.mint && transfer.mint.toLowerCase().endsWith(‘bonk’)) — technically explains this filtering method.
This unexpected move resonated widely across the market. The fact that Pump.fun targets users based on specific tokens is unusual in the industry. This development may also hint at the project’s future token distribution model.
Pump.fun Token Launch: Solana Exit on the Horizon?
Rumors of Pump.fun launching its own token have circulated for months. Recently, speculation has increased that the token might be issued on a platform outside the Solana blockchain. These rumors focus on the possibility of a shift to Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible chains. Although Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen previously denied such claims, recent insider reports suggest otherwise.
Many sources claim that Pump.fun is planning a $1 billion token sale with a projected $4 billion valuation. There’s also speculation about a 10% community airdrop. However, none of this has been officially confirmed. Moving away from Solana would mark a strategic shift for Pump.fun, potentially expanding its reach and opening doors in new ecosystems.
EVM Ecosystem and Subscription Model Rumors
The talk of Pump.fun entering the EVM ecosystem also includes the possibility of a subscription model. Such a system could offer users exclusive access or other benefits. In the crypto space, subscription models are often used to boost community loyalty and generate additional revenue.
Yet, it’s worth noting that Pump.fun’s main operations — including the new PumpSwap DEX — are still on Solana. Full integration into EVM would require significant technical adjustments. For now, official statements from Pump.fun’s team will be key in determining the truth behind these claims. Ultimately, any decision Pump.fun makes in this direction could have a substantial impact on the market. The crypto community is eagerly watching for what’s next.
