Pump.fun Adds 'BOOST' Liquidity Mode for Every New Coin

Pump.fun, the Solana-based token launchpad, introduced a launch mechanism it calls BOOST mode, describing it in a post on X as "the new standard launch mechanism for EVERY new pump fun coin."

The company said BOOST reinjects future liquidity into every bonded coin, framing the change as a response to lost liquidity at token migration. "Over $100M in dead liquidity is lost every year when tokens migrate," Pump.fun wrote in the same post. "Now, we're reinjecting future liquidity into EVERY BONDED COIN."

On Pump.fun, coins graduate, or "bond," from an initial bonding curve to a liquidity pool once they hit a set market capitalization.

Co-founder Alon Cohen, posting as a1lon9, put a figure on the effect, saying the update "increases liquidity by ~20% for every newly migrated coin with no changes to how trading feels on the bonding curves or the liquidity pools." He added that "over time, this will inject hundreds of millions of Dollars into the ecosystem," and called it "pure upside for users."

The ~20% figure, the $100 million annual dead-liquidity estimate, and the projected ecosystem inflows are all company statements rather than independently measured results. Pump.fun did not publish an accompanying dataset with the announcement, and the per-coin liquidity effect is a projection tied to future migrations rather than an observed onchain outcome.

Pump.fun has become the dominant memecoin launchpad on Solana, and has repeatedly changed how newly launched tokens handle liquidity. The platform previously rolled out USDC-paired liquidity pools for token launches.

The company did not specify a phased rollout in the announcement, describing BOOST as the standard mechanism for every new coin. Whether the stated liquidity increase materializes will depend on the volume of coins that bond and migrate under the new default.
