The acquisition combines Kolscan’s analytics capabilities with Pump.fun’s social trading tools. Kolscan monitors activities of top on-chain traders and provides real-time transaction data with performance leaderboards.
Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen said the integration aligns with his belief that on-chain trading is a “social sport.” Traders often work with friends and compare their performance against others in the space.
“We believe that products that provide social insights/tools and gamify the trading experience are key to growing our ecosystem,” Cohen stated. The platform aims to enhance transparency, copy-trading features, and wallet tracking capabilities.
The acquisition appears strategic as Pump.fun faces competition from rival memecoin launcher LetsBonk. The platform has been losing market share to the newcomer competitor.
All Kolscan services will become free following the integration. The platform already serves tens of thousands of users before the official acquisition announcement.
Enhanced Features and Social Trading
Pump.fun plans to improve Kolscan’s data reliability and speed for tokens, trades, and profit-loss tracking. The company wants to make the leaderboard “reward real traders again, not just ‘KOLs’.”
Additional features will include enhanced copytrading insights and data points that reveal trader strategies. Cohen described the integration as part of building “crypto’s social media platform that can scale to the billions.”
The platform previously offered livestreaming features but shut them down after users broadcast harmful content. Pump.fun revived the feature in April with moderation systems for select users.
Pump.fun was credited with last year’s memecoin revival through its user-friendly token creation tools. The platform generated millions in daily revenue at its peak in January according to DefiLlama data.
ICO Details and Market Positioning
Pump.fun’s ICO launches Saturday targeting $1 billion in funding through its PUMP token. The token has a total supply of 1 trillion with 330 billion tokens allocated for investors.
PUMP tokens are priced at $0.004 each with 33% of total supply available to investors. Institutional investors receive 180 billion tokens while public sale comprises 150 billion PUMP tokens.
The ICO is banned for US and UK investors due to regulatory concerns. Coinbase has already listed $PUMP for pre-market trading ahead of the official sale.
The acquisition and upcoming ICO represent Pump.fun’s strategy to maintain its position in the competitive memecoin market. The platform allows users without coding skills to create tokens easily.
