01 / Product income
Where does the money come from?
Follow the paying user, the product and the recipients. Protocol income and token-holder rights are separate steps.
- 1
Who pays
Users of bonding curves, PumpSwap and Terminal pay trading fees.
- 2
Who retains the fees
The stated scope excludes referral fees, cashback and Mayhem Mode; product totals must not be added to their parent total.
- 3
What this means for the token
The official page describes purchases followed by burns; the token carries no entitlement to revenue.
Trading fees are user payments. They do not by themselves establish demand independent of the crypto market cycle.
One period · separate observations
Pump.fun
- Market buybackStatus unconfirmed
- Treasury burnStatus unconfirmed
Protocol revenue is retained product income, not audited net profit. Market data may have a different observation time; see the evidence for each metric.
How observations changed over time
Only recorded periods are shown. Missing intervals remain missing; a change in methodology or scope can make adjacent periods incomparable.
The current evidence does not provide a complete, permitted series for this scope. A chart would imply continuity that has not been established.
02 / Use of funds
What happened to the funds?
Allocation rules and actual execution are shown separately. Each observation keeps its own unit, funding source and coverage.

The page warns that custom pairs make the revenue/buyback dashboard inaccurate. Displayed amounts were not imported.
Holding PUMP alone does not confer distribution rights.

Why buyback + burn is not a total
Illustrative example: a protocol spends $10 million to buy 2 million tokens and later burns those same tokens. The cash spent is $10 million. The supply reduction is 2 million tokens. Adding another $10 million for the burn would count the same chain twice. The same rule applies to purchased tokens later distributed to holders.
04 / Holder access
Who can actually participate?
Holding a ticker does not automatically create a claim. Check the precise asset, position and conditions.
Holding PUMP alone does not confer distribution rights.
An ERC-20 token, an NFT, an activated NFT and the payout asset are different instruments. A distribution to a locked or voting position is not a payout to every circulating token.
03 / Token supply
Supply changes, in tokens
Issuance and destruction concern token units. They are kept separate from dollar spending and holder payments.
How to read unlocks and bridge movements
An unlock changes the availability of tokens that already exist; it does not prove new issuance or a sale. Wrapped-token minting during a bridge transfer is not global issuance of the underlying asset. A future unlock valued at today’s price is a scenario, not future sale proceeds.
Rules change over time
A proposal, approval, activation and an executed transaction are different events.
No verified sequence of mechanism changes is available for this scope.
An old pause announcement does not establish the current status. A provider outage does not mean the protocol paused its mechanism.
