Main Idea
Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad, is launching its official token PUMP through an initial coin offering (ICO) on July 12, with 15% of the total supply available to the public at $0.004 per token.
Key Points
1. The ICO will offer 150 billion PUMP tokens (15% of the total 1 trillion supply) to the public, priced at $0.004 each, with no lockups or vesting.
2. Participants must complete KYC verification, and the sale will run from July 12 to July 15, excluding U.S. and U.K. residents.
3. Token allocation includes 24% for community/ecosystem initiatives, 20% for the team, and 13% for existing investors.

5. A version 2.0 update introduced features like one-click trading and a 'movers' feed to maintain competitiveness, and an airdrop is expected post-launch.
