PumpFun Introduces New Rewards Feature As Token Surges

Pump.fun Rolls Out Callout Rewards Program

@Pumpfun has launched Callout Rewards, a decentralized incentives program designed to pay users directly for the trading volume they help generate on the platform. The program tracks volume attributed to individual user activity, including push notifications and home feed discoveries, then distributes payouts from internal liquidity pools on a pro-rata basis.

The structure is automated and intended to run over the long term. Crucially, @Pumpfun says no additional fees will be introduced to fund it. The platform's existing zero-fee trading on $SOL trades remains in place, and its 0.2% fee on cross-chain transactions is unchanged.

The launch builds on a broader push by @Pumpfun to deepen user engagement through social and discovery tools. The platform introduced token callouts earlier in 2026, allowing each account to alert all followers to a coin once every six hours, with users ranked on a global leaderboard that tracks activity and engagement. Callout Rewards now adds a financial layer to that mechanic, giving users a direct economic stake in the volume their alerts generate.

PUMP Token Climbs More Than 90% in 30 Days

The feature launch coincides with a sharp rally in solana:pumpCmXqMfrsAkQ5r49WcJnRayYRqmXz6ae8H7H9Dfn, which has surged over 90% in the past 30 days. Earlier this month, $PUMP surged over 14% in a single 24-hour period, pushing its market cap to around $1 billion as trading volume jumped more than 71%. A buyback and burn program and over $2.13 million in short liquidations helped drive that price move.

Protocol revenue also hit a new weekly high of $10.03 million as of August 11, fueling a major token buyback and burn. While @Pumpfun's share of total launchpad fees dropped sharply in early July amid rising competition, it had rebounded to over 50% by mid-August as the broader launchpad market grew 77% to $75.39 million over 30 days.

The Callout Rewards program signals that @Pumpfun is leaning into social-driven volume as a core growth lever, rewarding the users who surface tokens to the widest audiences rather than just the creators who launch them.
