Pump.fun launches BOOST mode to recycle dead liquidity through token burns

Pump.fun has introduced BOOST mode, a new launch mechanism that automatically reinjects liquidity through token buybacks and burns after coins complete the platform’s bonding curve.

Introducing BOOST mode – the new standard launch mechanism for EVERY new pump fun coin

Over $100M in dead liquidity is lost every year when tokens migrate. Now, we’re reinjecting future liquidity into EVERY BONDED COIN.

The Solana memecoin launchpad said more than $100 million in liquidity becomes permanently trapped each year when tokens migrate from their bonding curves. The platform refers to this capital as dead liquidity because it remains locked in liquidity pools even after traders sell their holdings.

Under the previous migration structure, each token sacrificed roughly 20% of its liquidity, according to Pump.fun. BOOST mode redirects part of that capital into market purchases during the five minutes immediately following a migration.

The mechanism reinjects 17.6 $SOL for $SOL trading pairs or $2,516 for USDC pairs. Purchases are executed gradually through a time weighted average price system, with the acquired tokens automatically burned after each transaction.

Pump.fun said the feature does not require creators or traders to activate it. All eligible coins migrating after 10:23 a.m. Eastern Time on July 21 will automatically use the BOOST configuration.

Tokens that migrated before the cutoff will not receive the feature. Coins launched through Pump.fun’s Mayhem system are also excluded.

Pump.fun said the trading experience will remain unchanged, while the redirected liquidity is intended to create additional buying pressure and permanently reduce the circulating supply of migrated tokens.

Pump.fun’s native PUMP token traded largely flat following the announcement, although it remained up more than 30% over the previous seven days.
