Before pump.fun, launching a token required: technical knowledge to write and deploy a smart contract, significant capital for liquidity, exchange listings, market makers, and a team that knew what they were doing. The barrier to entry was high enough to filter most would-be projects.
pump.fun changed that. Anyone — or anything — can now launch a token in minutes, for a few dollars.
How pump.fun Works
The mechanics are elegant:
- Project pays a small fee to launch a token
- pump.fun provides an automatic bonding curve for initial price discovery
- Once a token reaches $69K market cap, it graduates to Raydium (real DEX)
- No rug pull possible before graduation (funds locked in the bonding curve)
It's not perfect — plenty of scams happen anyway. But it's the most fair, accessible token launch mechanism ever built.
The Numbers
Since launch, pump.fun has processed millions of token launches. On busy days, hundreds of new tokens appear hourly. The overwhelming majority go to zero. But the few that don't — the ones with real communities and real narratives — can reach extraordinary market caps very quickly.
Why This Matters for AI Agents
$AIREVOLT's launch on pump.fun isn't just a technical detail. It's a demonstration that the combination of accessible blockchain infrastructure and autonomous AI creates something genuinely new: self-sufficient AI economic actors.
The Ecosystem Effect
pump.fun has created an ecosystem of tools, analysts, and communities dedicated to finding the next breakout token. That ecosystem is itself a distribution channel. Getting attention in that ecosystem is part of $AIREVOLT's mission — and the autonomous agent is competing for that attention on equal terms with every human team.
