Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). They provide investors with curated access to token sales while offering startups a community-driven capital injection. In 2026, launchpads have evolved into full-stack incubators, focusing on project quality and long-term sustainability. Follow this tag for the latest in token distribution models, tier-based participation, and the emergence of the next generation of "unicorn" protocols across various blockchain ecosystems.

Little Pepe Raises $22.1M for EVM Layer-2 as Frog-Themed Memecoins Hold a $5.6B Niche

Little Pepe Raises $22.1M for EVM Layer-2 as Frog-Themed Memecoins Hold a $5.6B Niche

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) has launched a Layer-2 solution on the Ethereum virtual machine and is ready to welcome a new generation of frog meme coins. Low-cost, lightning-fast transactions on Little Pepe solve Ethereum’s well-known congestion and gas issues. And as the heir apparent to Pepe’s market dominance, Little Pepe could welcome an ever-expanding world of meme coins. It all comes at a time when the meme coin market is on the rise, and frog-related tokens have built their own niche worth $5.65B. $LILPEPE Presale Becomes Top Meme Coin to Buy Now LILPEPE’s presale closed its Stage 10 early as investors poured into the project, raising the total from the presale to well over $22M. The $LILPEPE project touts zero trading taxes, anti-bot protections, and a $777K giveaway. It arrives just as $PEPE, $BRETT, and other frog coins sustain sizable market share. Pepe ($PEPE) is among the most liquid meme coins, with a multibillion-dollar capitalization and frequent bursts of volume; it’s down over a quarter in August. Brett (Based) ($BRETT) broke out in 2024, a major player on Coinbase’s Base chain. It reached its all-time high of $0.23 at the beginning of December 2024. $BRETT is still a flagship for Base meme coins. Turbo ($TURBO) holds a $280M market cap, significant even for a meme coin, with a persistent presence in the frog subset. A Frog Sector with Real Weight Frog-themed meme coins remain a significant slice of the market: the category shows an aggregate market cap of roughly $5.65B. Within that cohort, $PEPE holds about $4.36B in value, while $BRETT (Base) trades near $0.05 with a market cap around $490M. One top-50 token and several mid-rank ones before the sector gives way to small-cap coins at the bottom of the list. Still, the overall market cap of the sector is impressive enough. And performance for many of the individual tokens, while down recently, has nevertheless surged in 2025. That follows broader market trends – Interest in even the best meme coins has ebbed and flowed throughout 2025 with periodic rotations into the segment and sentiment-driven spikes. It’s a market niche ripe for a contender to challenge $PEPE for his crown. Enter Little Pepe ($LILPEPE), a token offering more than Pepe ever could. What Little Pepe Is Building Unlike most meme tokens that launch on existing chains and absorb gas costs, Little Pepe is rolling out an EVM-compatible Layer-2. Little Pepe chain boasts zero buy/sell taxes on the $LILPEPE token. The project’s whitepaper outlines a 100B total supply with 26.5% allocated to presale, 30% to chain reserves, 13.5% to staking & rewards, and 10% each to liquidity, DEX allocation, and marketing. Ultra-fast, secure, and cheap – Little Pepe is the perfect chain for building a meme coin empire. The project even features anti-sniper (anti-bot) protections and a native launchpad intended to give new tokens a fairer start. Liquidity gets locked when tokens launch, preventing a common scam where devs snag all the tokens overnight. A CertiK smart-contract audit and a preliminary CoinMarketCap page help advance the sale. There’s also the significant $777K giveaway. The terms are simple – a minimum $100 presale entry plus social tasks – and winners are announced on the project site. 10 lucky winners from the community will each receive $77K in $LILPEPE. The Little Pepe Pitch Little Pepe’s pitch is that infrastructure (an L2), not just a likable mascot, can help the token compete when meme coin volumes surge. Lower fees, tax-free trading, and anti-bot rails may appeal to retail traders who were priced out by gas or burned by launch snipers in prior cycles. $LILPEPE has room to grow, big shoes to fill, and the ambition to do it. Do your own research; though, this isn’t financial advice.

Pump.fun Tops LetsBonk, Surpasses $800 Million in Revenue According to on-chain data from Dune Analytics, Pump.fun has accumulated around $800.6 million in fees since launch. This came primarily through its 1% swap fee on token transactions.  Source: Dune Analytics; Pump.fun Lifetime Revenue This came after Pump.fun launched a buyback program, purchasing over $33 million worth of PUMP tokens. This purchase limited the supply while boosting the price. This buyback is one of the largest the platform has done, which adds confidence to positive market outlooks. Recent data also shows that Pump.fun dominates 91% of all daily token listings on decentralized exchanges, while LetsBonk has dropped to just 3%. Many top meme coins creators are now choosing Pump.fun over LetsBonk, which increases Pump.fun’s market share. Furthermore, with 24,911 tokens launched and a 0.84% graduation rate, Pump.fun’s trading volume reached almost $100 million in a single day. LetsBonk, on the other hand, launched 442 tokens with a graduation rate of 2.26% but much lower volume and participation. 🚨JUST IN: https://t.co/VS31GZ2FXq’s weekly revenue climbed to $13.48M, its highest in six months, after regaining the majority of Solana launchpad market share. pic.twitter.com/vnpIkfrTvR — SolanaFloor (@SolanaFloor) August 19, 2025 LetsBonk Challenges, But Pump.fun Regains Lead While Pump led the Solana memecoin ecosystem, LetsBonk briefly overtook it in July. t accounted for almost 74% of the daily launches of Solana tokens.  LetsBonk saw a sharp increase in activity and user adoption during that time, while Pump’s daily revenue fell as low as $169,000.

Pump.fun Reaches $800M in Lifetime Revenue

Pump.fun Reaches $800M in Lifetime Revenue

The post Pump.fun Reaches $800M in Lifetime Revenue appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Pump.fun hits $800M in lifetime revenue. 1% swap fee drives most of the platform’s earnings. Revenue model predates PumpSwap DEX launch. Solana-based SOL $181.1 24h volatility: 0.2% Market cap: $97.85 B Vol. 24h: $5.71 B meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has recorded a milestone of $800 million in lifetime revenue. It achieved this feat right at the time when meme coins began to show signs of a major comeback. Most of this revenue comes from Pump.fun’s 1% swap fee, an important feature that has made the launchpad appealing to token issuers. Pump.fun’s 1% Swap Fee Contributes to Lifetime Revenue According to a Dune dashboard shared by pseudonymous onchain analyst @adam_tehc, Pump.fun has successfully collected fees totaling approximately $800.67 million. The fund is a sum of the 1% swap fee that the platform demands from all token transactions conducted on Pump.fun. Tokens were previously charged a fee when they “graduated” to Raydium RAY $3.23 24h volatility: 1.1% Market cap: $864.98 M Vol. 24h: $66.92 M after reaching a specific market capitalization. This model was in play well before Pump.fun launched its decentralized exchange (DEX) dubbed PumpSwap. Meanwhile, the $800 million in lifetime revenue marks a strong recovery for Pump.fun. When the meme coin frenzy began last year, this Solana-based launchpad was at the forefront of the movement. However, earlier this year it experienced a dip as the hype around meme coins started to fade. In the first week of August, it recorded a drop in its monthly revenue as it generated only $24.96 million. This corresponds with an 80% plunge from its January peak of over $130 million. Pump.fun’s revenue fell from $130 million in January to $90 million in February, dropped further to $37 million in March, and reached $24.96 million in July. It then climbed higher and hovered…

Solana’s Pump.fun Explodes Past $800M While Rival LetsBonk Crashes

Solana’s Pump.fun Explodes Past $800M While Rival LetsBonk Crashes

The post Solana’s Pump.fun Explodes Past $800M While Rival LetsBonk Crashes appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Altcoins Solana’s leading memecoin launchpad, Pump.fun, has crossed a major milestone, generating more than $800 million in lifetime revenue, according to on-chain data. The platform, which charges a 1% swap fee on all transactions, has cemented itself as a central player in the booming memecoin ecosystem. Although Pump.fun fueled last year’s memecoin craze, its dominance has recently been tested by LetsBonk.fun, a rival platform backed by the Bonk community. LetsBonk briefly overtook Pump in token graduations earlier this summer, but Pump has since regained momentum, helped by a wave of top memecoin deployers migrating back to its ecosystem. Revenue trends show a sharp divergence between the two competitors. Pump continues to generate over $1 million daily, while LetsBonk’s daily revenue has fallen from nearly $1 million to under $30,000. The platform also made headlines with its native token launch last month, raising $600 million in minutes during its initial offering. Pump is now conducting token buybacks at prices above market value in an effort to stabilize performance. Beyond Solana, competition in the memecoin sector is heating up across blockchains. Coinbase-incubated Base has overtaken Solana in new memecoin launches, thanks to its integration with decentralized social app Zora. Data shows Base saw nearly 58,000 memecoins created in a single day, compared with about 33,000 on Solana.

Pump Fun reclaims Solana memecoin launchpad dominance with 62% revenue share over two weeks

The post Pump Fun reclaims Solana memecoin launchpad dominance with 62% revenue share over two weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pump.fun has regained its status as the largest memecoin launchpad on Solana over the past two weeks. The dominance is evident in both revenue generation and trading volume. According to data from Blockworks, Pump.fun dominated 62% of all revenue generated from Aug. 4 to Aug. 17, which amounts to nearly $16.7 million. Regarding trading volume, Pump.fun reached approximately $1.4 billion in the same period, representing 55.6% of all trading volume from memecoin launchpads from Solana. The growth in both metrics comes from increasing token creation, with 293,192 tokens created using Pump.fun’s infrastructure in two weeks. This is equivalent to 66% of all tokens created in the period. Losing dominance Pump.fun started losing ground to Bonk.fun in early July. The movement was attributed to Bonk.fun’s buyback program related to BONK, where 50% of Bonk.fun fees were directed to buy and burn the token. An additional 8% of the fees were used to buy and hold BONK on reserves. The model attracted users to interact with the platform, resulting in nearly 606,000 tokens created from July 1 to Aug. 3. During the same period, Pump.fun saw 379,253 tokens launched. Furthermore, the number of tokens created on Bonk.fun that surpassed $1 million in market cap grew 130%, while Pump.fun’s slid by 7.5%. The activity and tokens success prompted Bonk.fun to capture 54% of the fees generated from July 1 to Aug. 3, while Pump.fun got 24.4% of the revenue from Solana memecoin launchpads. Bonk.fun’s numbers even influenced BONK, which jumped up to 134% in July. Meanwhile, Pump.fun’s PUMP token collapsed from a fully diluted value of $4 billion to $2.4 billion in the same month. Getting the crown back The reversion started on Aug. 6, amid Pump.fun’s token buyback plan becoming more aggressive. Since Aug. 7, the launchpad has never bought less than…
