Solana Launchpad Wars: $PUMP Dominates, Rewards Model Debated
$PUMP continues to dominate launchpad revenue at $12.17M over 7 days vs competitors, while the community debates whether platforms should reward token holders over KOL shillers.
What we know
An account on X posted an updated launchpad leaderboard showing $PUMP at $1.59M (24hr) and $12.17M (7d), well ahead of $STONK ($193K / $2.49M) and Flap SH ($137K / $2.1M). Pumpfun is also updating its Callout Rewards program, nerfing lowcap token callouts to favor broader wealth effects — a change another account on X says he pushed for after buying $PUMP at 0.0014. Another account on X argued the platform should 'reward conviction, not clout.' Meanwhile, another account on X noted AI influencer launchpad clones are failing, reinforcing that the original is the only defensible player in the category.
