Airdrop

An Airdrop is a distribution of free tokens to a community, typically used as a marketing tool or a reward for early protocol adopters and testers. In 2026, the "points-to-airdrop" model has matured into merit-based incentive programs that utilize Sybil-resistance and Proof-of-Humanity to filter out bots. Airdrops remain a primary method for decentralized governance (DAO) bootstrapping. Follow this tag for the latest on retroactive rewards, eligibility criteria, and how to participate in the most anticipated token distributions in the ecosystem.

After entering the mainstream narrative, how will Perp DEX develop in the future?

After entering the mainstream narrative, how will Perp DEX develop in the future?

Let’s talk about some insights into the future evolution of perp dex: 1) The “numbers game” of inflating trading volume in exchange for airdrop expectations is unsustainable. If a large number of users wash trade in anticipation of an airdrop instead of actually using the product, if professional arbitrageurs deprive most of the incentive budget at low cost, and if the project side condones or even encourages these behaviors in order to make the data look good. If this continues, the entire points system will become an expectation game without any real value creation, and the bubble will eventually burst. 2) The low-fee war between platforms results in users “hiddenly paying the bill”. Internal competition among platforms will compress the "revenue model" to the extreme, but what is the balance point for value capture that maintains zero transaction fees? If the seemingly "zero transaction fees" actually result in losses in liquidation penalties, funding rates, and other areas that users cannot see or care about, this strategy will be unsustainable in the long run. Either sell PFOF to market makers like Robinhood, or become a broker that provides value-added services. These are all things that require long-term product iteration to achieve; 3) The perp dex boom led by CLOB is just an on-site carnival. Perp dex isn't a new phenomenon, but the current trillion-dollar boom is largely driven by the volume generated by crypto-native assets like BTC and ETH. As TrdfFi assets migrate on-chain, such as truly in-demand stocks, foreign exchange, and commodities, the CLOB full-chain order book model may no longer be effective. Instead, an oracle or RFQ model will be more efficient. The question is, should we plan ahead and embrace traditional incremental assets, or spend $100,000 to purchase the CLOB Dex code and engage in an incentive war? It will become clear who is truly creating value. 4) The high valuations supported by the black box execution layer cannot be effectively verified. While some perp dex platforms tout their differentiation, massive amounts of transaction data and hidden black-box technology cannot truly price in high valuations. If users don't even know how orders are processed, where liquidity comes from, or how prices are formed, and if the so-called "best execution" actually eats into users' MEV and profits from information asymmetry, this is not a true technological moat. Using ZK proof to prove the logic is correct, but real-time order tracking, order data indicators, and whether the technical means can withstand the test of the market are key; 5) Perp dex as a Service will dilute the overall value of the entire track. If everyone does CLOB, supports similar trading pairs, has maker/taker fees, and has a points system, and if the only difference is a better-looking UI, higher airdrop expectations, and more aggressive KOL shilling, the overall value of the entire Perp DEX track will be severely diluted in the long run. Should we continue to focus on the "one-click chain launch" strategy, or should we truly address user pain points and establish differentiation? The former will only plunge the entire sector into a death spiral, while the latter will likely produce truly valuable projects.

Virtuals launches Unicorn startup model, which will gradually replace the Genesis points system

Virtuals launches Unicorn startup model, which will gradually replace the Genesis points system

PANews reported on October 7th that Virtuals announced the launch of a new startup model, Unicorn. Compared to the previous Genesis model, Unicorn no longer solely pursues fairness, but instead emphasizes early conviction and long-term value. Each Unicorn project starts with a low valuation, allowing early participants to receive asymmetric returns. The founding team only receives funding when the project actually grows, ensuring responsibility and long-term development. The launch process includes a creation phase, an early trading phase, and a transparent team allocation mechanism. It also features anti-scaling mechanisms and ecosystem airdrops to reward VIRTUAL token holders and active community members. The Unicorn model will gradually replace the Genesis points system, shifting rewards from points to VIRTUAL staking and ecosystem activity. Each Unicorn Launch will allocate 5% of the total supply to genuine community members, 2% to VIRTUAL stakers, and 3% to active Virtuals ecosystem participants. Airdrops will be distributed weekly, with snapshots documenting VIRTUAL staking and Virtuals ecosystem activity.

Bittensor, Aster, and BlockDAG Lead Crypto in 2025

Bittensor, Aster, and BlockDAG Lead Crypto in 2025

The post Bittensor, Aster, and BlockDAG Lead Crypto in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News Explore how Bittensor’s AI mining, Aster’s Coin defense, and BlockDAG’s over $420M presale with Formula 1® exposure make them top crypto coins for 2025. The crypto market is entering a stage where innovation, transparency, and mainstream visibility are deciding which projects rise above the rest. Bittensor (TAO) is reshaping mining by tying rewards to artificial intelligence. Aster (ASTER) is navigating heated debates about coin distribution while defending its long-term credibility. And BlockDAG (BDAG) is taking an entirely different route, combining one of crypto’s largest presales with a Formula 1® partnership that places it in front of a global audience. When measured side by side, each project brings something important. Yet BlockDAG’s scale, visibility, and adoption point to a faster breakout than most early-stage Layer 1 networks ever achieve. For anyone looking at the best crypto coins for 2025, these three deserve attention, with one clearly leading. Bittensor’s AI-Driven Mining Shifts the Model Bittensor (TAO) is capturing attention by redefining mining itself. Instead of rewarding energy-intensive hashing, it rewards participants who contribute valuable machine learning models. This design not only slashes energy costs but also creates meaningful use cases in areas like analytics, predictive modeling, and data science. For holders, the significance lies in aligning two of the fastest-growing fields: blockchain and AI. If adoption builds, TAO’s framework could push the market beyond speculation and into practical demand. However, while its idea is strong, widespread adoption still needs to prove itself. Bittensor’s success depends on whether developers and companies see lasting value in its AI-first model. Aster Defends Its Coin Supply Against Centralization Criticism Aster (ASTER) has drawn scrutiny for what critics describe as insider-heavy Coin concentration, with claims that nearly 96% of the supply is controlled by a few wallets. CEO Leonard counters that this view is misleading.…

MetaMask Launches $30M Rewards Program With LINEA Tokens

The post MetaMask Launches $30M Rewards Program With LINEA Tokens appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. MetaMask Rewards Program Promises Big Gains for Users The MetaMask crypto wallet team has officially announced the launch of the MetaMask Rewards program, offering users over $30 million in LINEA tokens. According to company representatives, this initiative is not just “another farming operation for an airdrop.” Instead, it is a long-term strategy aimed at growing the MetaMask ecosystem and preparing for the release of MetaMask’s own token. What Users Can Expect MetaMask confirmed: “Yes, the rewards program is already in development. Any details you’ve seen or heard previously are not indicative of what will actually be launched.” The first season of MetaMask Rewards will become one of the largest on-chain programs in the crypto industry.

A full launch is planned within the coming weeks, making this an exciting time for the MetaMask community. Strategic Moves and Future Tokens This announcement follows a series of strategic steps by MetaMask. In September 2024, the wallet launched MetaMask USD (mUSD), a stablecoin operating on both Ethereum and Linea networks, backed by short-term US Treasury bonds. Additionally, Consensys CEO and Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin confirmed preparations for the launch of the MASK token, a key step toward decentralizing MetaMask. The Linea project and its token have already set an example of this process. By combining the rewards program with these strategic moves, MetaMask aims to strengthen user loyalty, attract new participants, and set the stage for the launch of its native token.

SwissBorg Founder Predicts Biggest Crypto Altcoin Cycle ‘Of Our Lifetime’

SwissBorg Founder Predicts Biggest Crypto Altcoin Cycle ‘Of Our Lifetime’

SwissBorg founding partner Alex Fazel believes the market is entering a multi-year, structurally different bull phase that could deliver “generational wealth,” laying out what he called an “alt season bible” for 2025–2026 in a wide-ranging interview with Altcoin Daily. Speaking in a probabilistic framework, Fazel argued that the confluence of a strengthening business cycle, easier monetary policy, and twin technology booms in crypto/Web3 and artificial intelligence creates the same kind of tailwinds that powered the post-dot-com “recovery cycle” in equities. “I really want to prove to everyone that this is the biggest cycle and the biggest chance for everyone to generate generational wealth,” he said, adding that his views are expressed in probabilities rather than certainties. The 2025–26 Crypto Altcoin Cycle Will Be Historic Fazel’s market structure thesis centers on a familiar rotation: Bitcoin leading, followed by Ethereum and the top-cap cohort, and then a broader dispersion into mid- and small-caps as Bitcoin dominance rolls over. He insisted that the current advance lacks the hallmark “euphoria stage”—a late-cycle condition he considers statistically common and, therefore, still ahead. “It is extremely rare… to have a bull cycle without euphoria,” he said, noting that sizable drawdowns will punctuate the trend without invalidating it. “We won’t see a long bear market anymore… We’re going to see a very extended bull run but with really big corrections along the way.” Related Reading: 2%–4% In Crypto? Morgan Stanley Thinks That’s The Smart Move Now To gauge cycle magnitude, Fazel prefers total crypto market capitalization over date-calling. He mapped prior expansions—roughly 45x from 2014 to 2017 and ~27x into 2021—into a conservative inference that a 2x–3x from the last cycle’s ~$3 trillion top would imply a $6–$9 trillion total capitalization before this run is exhausted. That—along with a still-missing euphoria phase—forms one of his primary exit heuristics. “Rather than just thinking about how long, look at how high,” he said. On sector leadership, Fazel’s team compiled a year-over-year basket (September 2024 to early September 2025) of tokens that outperformed Bitcoin on sustained timeframes to filter out “pump-and-dump noise.” The list he highlighted was dominated by DeFi and exchange-adjacent assets: Virtuals (AI-agent) with a 20x,Hyperliquid’s HYPE 7x, Sui and its DeepBook DEX as strong performers, Curve and Ethena Labs 2.5x–3x, SwissBorg’s BORG ~2.5x, and Raydium. His conclusion was blunt: “DeFi is the best sector to invest in,” with exchange tokens repeatedly among the most resilient leaders since 2018 due to clear product-market fit in speculation and fee generation. Fazel stitched those returns to an explicit capital-flows mechanism: buybacks. He showed a positive correlation, in his view, between top token performers and sustained buyback programs, and drew a parallel to equities where many of the cycle’s strongest stocks—including AI bellwethers—have announced large, continuing repurchases. He cautioned, however, that buybacks can be overwhelmed by emissions. “If you have $20 million buying the token, but an airdrop is emitting $53 million, do the math,” he said, citing this dynamic to explain why some well-known tokens underperformed despite revenue. What Else To Look For On Altcoins From there, he proposed a simple four-quadrant framework for token “pumpamentals”: clear utility that investors perceive as valuable; loyalty via locking; strong, sustainable, and scalable buybacks; and burns or other mechanisms that reduce float. Layer-1s, he argued, typically tick only the first two boxes and still rely on inflationary issuance for staking yields. By contrast, exchange tokens and some DeFi assets can check all four—particularly if fee-linked buybacks are hard-wired, ongoing, and diversified across product lines. Fazel also outlined an increasingly prominent buyer cohort of digital asset treasuries (DATs)—public companies that raise in fiat and accumulate crypto for their balance sheets—observing that this structure can “pump the stock and the token.” He pointed to high-profile examples in Bitcoin and Ethereum, stressing that balance-sheet accumulation simultaneously adds buy pressure and removes sell pressure. More broadly, he framed today’s market as a “supercycle” moment because retail, institutions, and corporate treasuries are now converging on crypto exposure—initially in BTC and ETH, but progressively further out the risk curve as confidence grows. Related Reading: 70% Decline In Corporate Crypto Treasury Buying: What’s Going On? Much of Fazel’s playbook is operational at SwissBorg itself. He disclosed that the company, founded in 2017 and now at “300+ employees” and “$2.4 billion” in assets under management, has shifted to a 50% revenue-to-buyback policy for its BORG token and intentionally delisted from centralized exchanges to “control supply” and concentrate liquidity and volume in-app. Fazel repeatedly returned to risk management, urging investors to think in probabilities and to be willing to “divorce” underperforming tokens that lack real revenues or sound token economics. He also addressed dilution fears sparked by the proliferation of new tokens, contending that almost none reach meaningful size. “Out of all these coins… 0.00001% have a market cap above $1 million,” he said, arguing that the sheer number of microcap launches should not preclude an altseason in larger, revenue-generating names. His timeline remains conditional, but his conviction in the structure is clear. He expects Bitcoin could suffer 30%–40% pullbacks without derailing a longer advance, believes the equity backdrop is still “AI-led” rather than in a blow-off, and contends crypto adoption curves move faster than Web2 because they build atop the existing internet. As for a headline Bitcoin target, he demurred on specifics, but hinted the ceiling is higher than casual forecasts imply. “Almost $200k for Bitcoin seems too small,” he said at one point, before pivoting back to total-market metrics and the presence—or not—of broad-based euphoria. At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $4.2 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

How to Launch Your Meme Coin on Pump.fun Like a Pro?

How to Launch Your Meme Coin on Pump.fun Like a Pro?

Meme coins have emerged as a unique and influential force in the cryptocurrency space. What often starts as a joke or internet meme can quickly turn into a highly profitable digital asset, attracting both experienced investors and newcomers. Despite their playful nature, meme coins have the potential for massive growth if launched and managed correctly. For creators and investors looking to take advantage of this trend, Pump.fun provides the ideal platform. With its intuitive features, powerful community-building tools, and streamlined token launch process, Pump.fun equips you with everything needed to successfully launch and sustain a meme coin. What Are Meme Coins? Meme coins are cryptocurrencies that gained popularity through internet culture rather than technological advances or financial utility. They’re typically inspired by memes, viral trends, or pop culture references, giving them a fun and sometimes chaotic nature. Their value often hinges on community involvement and social media buzz rather than intrinsic utility. The Rise of Meme Coins in the Cryptocurrency Space Meme coins have risen from obscurity to mainstream recognition over the last few years, thanks largely to social media and viral marketing. Coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and others have captured public imagination, turning into digital assets that represent not just investment but internet culture. This rise is fueled by community-driven hype, celebrity endorsements, and clever memes that make meme coins highly marketable. Key Characteristics That Make Meme Coins Successful Community Engagement: The heartbeat of any successful meme coin lies in its community. The more vibrant and active, the higher the chance of long-term success. Meme coins thrive on platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Discord. Memorable Branding: A catchy name, fun logo, and memorable meme are critical for standing out. Dogecoin’s Shiba Inu dog and Shiba Inu coin’s dog logo are instantly recognizable. Viral Potential: Meme coins owe much of their success to their viral nature. A well-timed meme or social media campaign can launch a coin from obscurity to stardom overnight. Choosing Pump.fun for Your Meme Coin Launch Why Pump.fun Stands Out Among Other Platforms Pump.fun offers an intuitive, reliable platform for meme coin creators. Unlike other platforms that can be complex or costly, Pump.fun simplifies the launch process while maintaining strong community engagement. It allows creators to control token distribution, marketing, and fundraising all in one place. The Benefits of Using Pump.fun for Meme Coin Launches Launching meme coin on Pump.fun provides several advantages.

It also offers marketing support, community-building tools, and step-by-step guides, making it easy to execute a launch without errors. These features reduce friction, save time, and help maximize exposure for meme coin creators. Get the support of a professional meme coin development company to launch your project with confidence. They’ll handle development, marketing, and growth strategies to give your meme coin a strong market entry. Setting Clear Goals for Your Meme Coin Defining Your Meme Coin’s Purpose and Vision Every successful meme coin starts with a clear purpose and vision. Are you aiming to create a fun, viral community, or do you have plans for long-term utility? Defining your goals early helps guide your branding, marketing, and tokenomics decisions. A solid vision builds credibility and makes potential investors more likely to get involved. Setting Milestones: Short-Term vs. Long-Term Goals Breaking down your goals into short-term and long-term milestones helps track progress. Short-term goals might include launching the coin and reaching early trading volume, while long-term goals could involve expanding partnerships or reaching specific market capitalization. Clear milestones keep your project organized and focused. Creating a Roadmap: From Initial Concept to Full Launch A roadmap visually represents your coin’s journey, from development to launch. It highlights key phases, like community building, pre-launch marketing, and the official release. Roadmaps help investors understand your project’s trajectory, adding transparency and trust. Understanding the Market and Your Target Audience Knowing your target audience is crucial. Are you aiming at casual crypto enthusiasts, traders, or meme lovers? Understanding their interests and behavior helps you craft messaging that resonates. Market research allows you to spot trends, identify competitors, and position your coin effectively in the crowded meme coin space. Designing Your Meme Coin: Creative Considerations Crafting an Engaging Concept: Humor, Relevance, Impact You want your coin to turn heads so pick something that’s funny, relatable, or taps into current trends. A meme coin isn’t just about tech; it’s about culture. Think about what people are already sharing, loving, complaining about. Can you twist it, exaggerate it, poke fun, or tap into nostalgia to make your concept stick? The more your idea resonates emotionally, the better your chances of going viral. Naming Your Coin: Making It Memorable Your coin’s name and symbol are your first handshake with the world. Go with something catchy, short, and easy to say (and type). Avoid confusing spellings. Think of what makes Dogecoin or Pepe so sticky. Also, make sure your name and ticker symbol aren’t already taken confusion kills credibility. Logos matter too: a strong, simple visual identity makes social shares pop. Logo & Branding: Visual Identity That Pops Branding isn’t just for “big” brands. Even meme coins live and die by how they look. Pick colors, fonts, visuals consistent with your concept. A mascot? Cartoon character? Something meme-friendly? Yes. Your branding should look good in tweet images, Discord icons, socials. Keep it consistent across website, landing page, docs. Visual polish signals “we care,” and people trust that. Tokenomics Design: Sustainable & Attractive Here’s where many projects stumble but doing this well will seriously up your odds. Decide total supply: huge supply often works for meme coins (helps each token seem “cheap”) but too much can kill perceived value. Distribution plan: how many tokens go to team, development, marketing, early supporters vs community rewards. Transparency here builds trust. Deflationary mechanics: burn functions, buy-backs, or token removal can help reduce supply over time, rewarding holders. Incentives to hold: staking rewards, rewards for long-term holders, exclusive perks all help reduce dump pressure. Preparing for the Technical Aspects of the Launch Choosing the Right Blockchain & Token Standard Not all blockchains are created equal. Some have low fees, fast transactions, strong developer ecosystems (think Solana, BNB Chain, sometimes Polygon) while others have great security but higher cost (like Ethereum). Match your chain to your goals. If you expect many transactions, or want low barriers, go for speed and low fees. Also pick standard token types (ERC-20, SPL, BEP-20) depending on chain that ensures compatibility with wallets, exchanges, and tools. Smart Contract Development & Security The smart contract is the backbone of your coin it sets rules, controls transfers, defines minting or burning. Get it right: Use audited, battle-tested templates when possible. Include safe minting and burning functions. Make sure transfer, approval, ownership is clean. If you’re doing weird features (staking, governance, yield), test them heavily. Security audits are non-negotiable. Mistakes can cost investors, credibility, and money. Several sources point out that many meme coins fail due to contract exploits. Wallets, Liquidity, Presale & Launch Mechanics These are the dry details that still make or break launches: Set up the wallet that will hold funds, initial liquidity. Make sure you budget gas / transaction fees. Decide on liquidity provision: lock some liquidity to reduce risk of rug pulls. If doing a presale or whitelist, design vesting schedules so early investors don’t dump immediately. Make sure your contract is deployed properly; test on testnet first if available. Testing & Auditing Everything Before going live, everything should be tested: contract behavior, token mechanics, supply distribution, burn or mint functions, staking (if applicable). Audits by external security firms are a strong signal to the community; they help discover vulnerabilities. Transparent audits, public code, test results build trust. Building Community Support Before the Launch Why Community Is Everything for Meme Coins The success of a meme coin depends largely on its community. Meme coins are cultural phenomena fueled by passionate, engaged followers. Without community backing, even the most creative meme coin idea will struggle. Community engagement is the lifeblood that drives meme coin success, helping with both initial hype and long-term sustainability. How to Start Building Your Community Early Start building your community before the coin launches. This gives you time to create buzz, gather a loyal following, and establish a presence on platforms where crypto enthusiasts gather. Set up a Discord or Telegram group to foster direct communication. Share regular updates, involve followers in decisions, and create a sense of ownership. Engaging Potential Investors Through Social Media Social media is where meme coins thrive. Use Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok to engage potential investors. Share updates, upcoming features, or fun memes. The goal is to maintain a consistent and engaging presence that builds excitement. Use humor and relatable content to make your coin stand out. Respond to comments and feedback this fosters loyalty. Using Reddit, Twitter, and Discord to Build Hype and Momentum Reddit, Twitter, and Discord are essential for meme coin building. On Reddit, engage with subreddits like r/CryptoMoonShots and r/Cryptocurrency. Twitter allows direct communication with influencers and a broader audience. Use hashtags, memes, and viral content to get noticed. Discord helps build an engaged, interactive community for live chats and AMAs. Collaborating with Influencers and KOLs for Maximum Exposure Influencers and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) amplify visibility. Partner with influencers who align with your coin’s ethos and target audience. Don’t just pay for promotional posts — aim for organic partnerships where influencers actively engage. Send free tokens, run giveaways, or collaborate on livestreams or Twitter Spaces. The Pump.fun Launch Process: Step-by-Step Setting Up Your Pump.fun Account: A Quick Walkthrough The first step to launching your meme coin on Pump.fun is setting up your account. Visit the platform, create an account, and link your wallet. Pump.fun integrates with popular wallets, making it easy for creators to connect. Once logged in, complete your profile with basic details like the project name, description, and contact info. Choosing the Right Launch Type for Your Meme Coin Pump.fun offers several launch formats, so choose the one that suits your project. Common options include Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs), or Presale Launches. ICOs are used for fundraising and token sales, whereas IDOs distribute tokens directly to decentralized exchanges. Presale Launches generate early interest and community involvement. Pick the launch type that fits your goals and target audience. Completing the Required Documentation and KYC (Know Your Customer) Before you go live, complete the necessary documentation and pass the KYC verification. This ensures transparency, security, and compliance. You’ll need to submit personal information and project details. Though an extra step, it’s essential for building trust with investors and ensuring a secure launch. Be ready to provide ID verification and additional documentation as needed. Setting Your Fundraising Goal and Token Distribution Plan Now, set your fundraising goal how much capital do you need for development, marketing, and sustainability? Determine a reasonable target based on your project’s needs. Next, create your token distribution plan. Decide how much of the total supply goes to investors, team, rewards, and marketing. Transparency builds credibility investors need to know how their funds will be allocated. Finalizing the Contract: Ensuring Smooth Execution With the fundraising goal and tokenomics in place, finalize the smart contract. You can use Pump.fun’s templates or create a custom contract. Double-check the details: total supply, token name, ticker symbol, transaction fees, and burn or mint functions. Testing on a testnet is crucial resolve any issues before going live. Secure your contract with a reputable audit to ensure integrity. Managing Investor Contributions and Ensuring Transparency Once your meme coin is live, managing investor contributions is key. The platform allows you to track investments and monitor fundraising progress. Ensure investors can view their transactions and holdings easily. Transparency is critical — ensure funds are being used as planned. Keep investors updated with regular communication about performance, development, and any changes. Open communication fosters trust and support. Post-Launch Strategy: Ensuring Long-Term Success Analyzing Post-Launch Metrics: What to Watch Out For After your meme coin launch, it’s essential to track key metrics. Focus on: Market Cap & Trading Volume: Monitor market cap and trading volume for insights into your coin’s market presence and liquidity. Community Engagement: Track social media activity like mentions, hashtags, and interactions across platforms. Active engagement is a good indicator of interest. Investor Retention: Assess how many investors are holding onto their tokens. High retention signals confidence in your coin. These metrics help assess growth, sentiment, and areas needing improvement. Keeping the Community Engaged After the Launch Community engagement doesn’t end at launch — it’s crucial for long-term success. Stay active on Discord, Telegram, and social media. Share updates, host AMAs, and involve your community in decision-making. Create exclusive channels or perks for early investors. Keeping your community engaged ensures ongoing support and organic growth. Regular Updates and Roadmap Execution: Building Trust Post-launch, keep investors informed with regular updates about progress and roadmap milestones. These updates should align with your pre-launch promises. Transparency and consistent roadmap execution build trust. Address setbacks honestly to maintain credibility and show your commitment to the project. Dealing with Price Volatility: Managing Investor Expectations Meme coins often see price volatility. Manage investor expectations by educating them about market fluctuations and focusing on long-term value, not immediate returns. Promote a “growth mindset” and be transparent about challenges to reduce panic selling and foster sustained interest. Leveraging Staking, Rewards, and Other Features to Retain Interest To maintain investor engagement, implement staking and reward programs. Staking lets holders earn rewards for locking their tokens, reducing selling pressure. Airdrops, exclusive rewards, and governance features also increase utility and keep the community invested in your coin’s long-term value. Conclusion Launching a meme coin on Pump.fun is a journey that requires strategic planning, active community engagement, and careful post-launch management. From selecting the right launch format and completing the necessary documentation to building a strong community and leveraging effective marketing strategies, each step plays a crucial role in the success of your meme coin.
