Pumpfun makes a significant move on the eve of the IC0! Acquisition of the on-chain tracker Kolscan, aiming for the fusion of social and encryption.

Just two days before its highly anticipated Token Initial Coin Offering (IC0), Pumpfun announced its first acquisition on Thursday (the day of reporting): the on-chain wallet tracker Kolscan. This news was released through the X platform, where Pumpfun confirmed the transaction details and hinted that the next step will deepen the integration of Crypto Assets trading, social media, and gamification mechanisms, creating a new on-chain entertainment experience.

Why acquire Kolscan? Strengthening on-chain tracking and social competition

The core functionality of Kolscan lies in its real-time tracking of top on-chain traders. It offers features such as Token profit and loss indicator (PnL), real-time trader leaderboard, and detailed transaction records. The appeal of this tool lies in its transparency and competitiveness, which naturally aligns with Pumpfun's vision of building a on-chain entertainment kingdom, making it an ideal tool for finding Alpha signals and copy trading.

The collision of social and encryption is imminent, aiming to disrupt traditional giants

Kolscan stated that partnering with Pumpfun will enable both parties to "provide a better user experience and jointly develop new projects in the intersection of social media and on-chain transactions." This direction perfectly aligns with Pumpfun's grand ambition – the project has publicly expressed its intention to "replace Facebook, TikTok, and Twitch." This acquisition is seen as a key step in building a decentralized social finance (SocialFi) ecosystem.

Pumpfun co-founder Alon Cohen stated that the acquisition of Kolscan is strategic. In a post, Cohen explained: "We believe that providing social insights/tools and gamifying the trading experience is key to driving the growth of our ecosystem." He hinted at the acquisition plan earlier this month but did not disclose the specific target at that time.

Creating a Buzz for the Record-breaking ICO, Token Economic Model Revealed

The timing of this acquisition is no coincidence. Pumpfun's ICO is scheduled for July 12 (Saturday), and this acquisition helps to warm up for the token issuance and accumulate market enthusiasm.

According to the token economic model disclosed to investors ($PUMP Tokenomics):

  • 33% of $PUMP Tokens will be publicly issued in this IC0.
  • An additional 13% has been allocated to early supporters (Early Backers) and investors who may participate in the pre-sale round.
  • The project's fully diluted valuation (FDV) target is as high as 4 billion dollars, demonstrating significant market confidence.

Sources disclosed to Blockworks that the project also plans to allocate 25% of platform revenue to Token holders. This adds substantial economic incentives to the market hype surrounding IC0 (Hype), enhancing the attractiveness of Token holder returns (Staking Reward / Token Utility).

Pumpfun's next step: building an integrated on-chain platform

Acquiring Kolscan will help guide more users to Pumpfun's proprietary front-end platform. This means reducing reliance on third-party trading platforms ( such as DEX) and providing a more integrated user experience within its ecosystem. The goal is not only to facilitate transactions but also to make trading fun and addictive, like games or social feeds, achieving true trading as entertainment (Trade to Earn / Gamified Trading).

As the IC0 approaches, the market will closely watch Pumpfun's next move. The acquisition of Kolscan sends a strong signal: this project has lofty ambitions and is by no means trivial. Investors can pay attention to its airdrop details, token launch date, and subsequent ecosystem development roadmap.
