According to ChainCatcher, Pump.fun announced the launch of BOOST, a new token launch mechanism designed to inject additional liquidity into every new token on its platform. The protocol previously lost over $100 million in annual liquidity to dead pools when tokens migrated from bonding curves to decentralized exchanges.
The BOOST mechanism adds approximately 20% liquidity to each migrating token without changing the trading experience on bonding curves or liquidity pools, according to co-founder Alon Cohen. The update is expected to inject hundreds of millions of dollars into the ecosystem over time. Pump.fun noted the figures are company projections rather than independently verified results, and actual liquidity impact will depend on the volume of tokens migrated under the new default mechanism.
