Solana Token Launchpad Pump.fun Evolves into Next-Gen Livestreaming Service
A Thriving Community, Creative Streams, and Unique Monetization
Solana launchpad Pump.fun has matured into a next-generation livestreaming service, aiming to rival platforms like Twitch and YouTube. The platform supports its users through features like creator revenue sharing, enabling innovative and often humorous content that drives engagement for their meme coins.
Pump.fun users can launch their own tokens, host livestreams, and hope their actions drive up the value of their crypto asset. Recent streams have been ambitious and safe following controversies the previous year.
Recent notable streams include a record-breaking token creator racing across all 50 U.S. states while livestreaming, and another streamer spending a week in an Israeli bomb shelter during the Middle East war.
This week highlights the platform’s unique culture with three standout streams:
You may now kiss the dev
A purported 60-year-old man, Glen, claims he is getting married to his partner of 34 years, Karen, on a Pump.fun livestream this Saturday.
Glen explained their inability to afford a traditional wedding and thanked the community for making the Pump.fun livestream possible. He plans to wear a tuxedo, Karen a dress, and present a ring, funding the event through creator revenue from his token, Pumps Gone Crazy (PGC).
The PGC token peaked at $1.15M market cap but has since fallen to $518,000, despite a 67% spike upon announcing the wedding.

A man in Kyiv, Ukraine, is attempting to say “Pump.fun” one million times live on stream.
Ricken, a freelance video editor, dedicated a week to the challenge, averaging around 67,777 repetitions per day. He believes it signifies a cultural shift for Pump.fun streams, undertaken to earn money from creator revenue sharing. His 1MIL token peaked at $1.43M before dropping to $330,000.

Crypto influencer SolJakey is hosting “Basedd House,” a reality show featuring up-and-coming influencers with meme coins.
Five influencers reside together, competing for influence, with token market cap determining status. Newcomers must launch tokens to climb the leaderboard. Content ranges from goofy challenges to public skits, even including moments like Iseem literally pooping his pants.
SolJakey highlights how creator revenue sharing allows influencers to profit without dumping tokens on fans. Influencers earn from the platform directly. The project is reportedly sponsored by Pump.fun. Iseem earned $1,330 in revenue rewards, and a dedicated website for creators is expected.
Pump.fun’s livestreams are heating up and getting more professional, with the launchpad enabling ambitious projects and directly supporting creators through its features.
