PumpSwap Mania: Memecoin Pools on Solana
Pump.fun’s new AMM, PumpSwap, launched March 20, 2025, with instant, fee‐free token migrations and concentrated liquidity pools—and in under one month it claimed 18% Solana DEX volume, surpassed Raydium, and hit $2.5 billion weekly trades.
Tired of getting rekt by memecoin spikes? Imagine earning steady fees while everyone else fights for price momentum—no price exposure, just reliable income. That’s PumpSwap’s delta‑neutral promise.
Stop Chasing Pumps, Start Farming Yield
PumpSwap replaces Raydium migrations with instant, zero‑fee bonding‑curve launches for any Pump.fun token—dropping the old 6 SOL cost to $0. It adds concentrated liquidity so you can focus capital where trading happens,reducing slippage and maximizing fee share.
Here’s how it works, why it exploded, and how you can earn from memecoin pools without ever “buying the top.”
What Is PumpSwap?
A native DEX by Pump.fun, designed for memecoin launches and trading. Auto‑migrations: Tokens finishing their bonding curve appear on PumpSwap instantly, no manual pool setup. 0 migration fees: Down from 6 SOL, making it free to trade new coins.
How It Works: Concentrated Liquidity & Fee Model
Concentrated Pools: LPs pick price ranges around expected trading bands, boosting capital efficiency.
Fee Rate: 0.25% per trade, with future revenue‑sharing for coin creators planned (25 bp cut).
Airdrop Incentives: Active LPs and traders gain better eligibility for the speculative Pump.fun airdrop.
