Overview

Pump.fun launched on January 19, 2024 as a token-creation and trading platform on Solana, operated by UK-registered Baton Corporation Ltd. Its co-founders are Alon Cohen (public-facing as "alon"), Noah Tweedale and Dylan Kerler. The product removed the technical work of issuing a token: a user uploads an image, picks a name and ticker, and the coin trades immediately on an automated bonding curve, with no code, presale or seeded liquidity required. It became the engine of Solana's memecoin economy, passing one million tokens created by July 2024 and more than six million by January 2025.
