Memecoin Launchpad Pump.fun Tops Solana DApps with $106M in Monthly Revenue
The blockchain’s decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem and memecoin launchpad Pump.fun were the main drivers of Solana’s decentralized apps (DApps) growth in November. According to research platform Syndica, DApps located in Solana generated $365 million in sales in November. According to the report, Pump.fun became the first Solana DApp to generate more than $100 million in monthly income.
Despite criticism for posting offensive content by its users through a livestreaming feature, Pump.fun made $106 million in November. Following allegations of members committing or threatening violent crimes, the platform came under fire on November 25. In response, the memecoin launchpad promised to work toward putting in place a better-moderating system and temporarily suspended its live streaming feature.
