To participate, all teams must meet the following requirements:

• A token must be launched by February 18 at 23:59 EST

• Team must own at least 10% of the token supply

• Teams must build in public throughout the program

• Teams must complete the application form with all required information

• Projects must comply with the platform’s Terms of Service

• Team members may not sell their own tokens at any time during the program, engage in insider trading, or act in bad faith toward token holders

Founders who gain ownership of a token through a CTO (token Takeover), rather than launching the token themselves, are eligible to apply, provided they comply with all other requirements from the moment the CTO occurs.

Failure to meet any of these requirements may result in disqualification.

While not required, preference is given to teams that:

• Actively share updates, progress, and narrative content on X and other social platforms

• Use the live-streaming feature at least five times per week to build trust with their community

• Engage directly with supporters and respond to feedback in public

• Control approximately 20 to 50% of the total token supply

Projects are evaluated continuously throughout the program. Key signals include:

• The ability to gain and sustain positive market traction for the token

• The potential of the idea to scale and attract broad user interest

• Consistency and quality of building in public

• Strength of community engagement and organic demand

• Founder discipline, credibility, and execution ability

The market provides the initial signal. Final investment decisions are made by Pump Fund based on observed traction, transparency, and founder behavior.

• $250,000 in initial funding at a $10 million valuation via a token deal

• Ongoing advisory and incubation support from Pump.fun

• Funding restricted to operational expenses only

• A one-year cliff followed by linear vesting for both the project and investors
