Pump.fun (PUMP) Token Unlock & Vesting Schedule
The unlock chart above provides a clear visual overview of the Pump.fun (PUMP) token release schedule, showing when and how tokens enter circulation across investor, team, treasury, and community allocations. Understanding these tokenomics dynamics is critical for evaluating potential supply pressure, inflation impact, and market liquidity over time — key factors that can influence PUMP price performance.
Each color segment in the chart corresponds to a specific allocation group described in the Allocations section below. Underlying assumptions and data models used to reconstruct this schedule are explained in detail under Assumptions, while broader utility insights and token use cases are covered in Tokenomics & Utility.
Tokenomics & Utility
The PUMP token is the native asset of the Pump.fun ecosystem. The July 12, 2025 ICO was widely covered and included both a private and public tranche at the same sale price. Across public reporting, the headline structure is consistent: 1 trillion total supply; 33% sold in the ICO; of that, 18% went to private sale participants and 15% to the public. The team and community received large, clearly defined allocations, and small percentages were earmarked for liquidity and ecosystem initiatives. (coindesk.com)
High‑level distribution (as reported)
- Total supply: 1,000,000,000,000 PUMP.
- ICO: 33% (18% private, 15% public).
- Team: 20%.
- Community and ecosystem initiatives: 24%.
- Existing investors: 13%.
- Liquidity and other funds (foundation, livestream incentives, ecosystem fund): small single‑digit percentages combined. Some outlets cite 2.6% for liquidity and small carve‑outs like a 2% foundation and 2.4% ecosystem fund. (coindesk.com)
Note: The ICO was not offered to U.S. or U.K. persons, and participating venues included PumpSwap and several launch‑partner exchanges, per the official announcement. (blockworks.co)
What PUMP is for
Pump.fun positions PUMP as the utility token of its platform. While live price moves are shown in tokenradar’s dynamic chart, the long‑term pitch is that PUMP aligns creators, traders, and the platform’s social features under one asset—tying together fees, incentives, and future product modules. In short, “PUMP token” sits at the center of Pump.fun tokenomics, while individual creator coins still launch and trade through the standard bonding‑curve → PumpSwap flow. (blockworks.co)
Assumptions
- Considered TGE/trading go-live as 2025-07-14 for cliff unlocks.
Kraken listing announcement and support page indicate trading and distribution timing around July 14, 2025.
- ICO Public Sale size is 150B PUMP (15% of 1T) at $0.004, fully unlocked at listing.
Consistent sale hard-cap and distribution terms communicated by multiple participating exchanges; support pages state no vesting for purchases.
- ICO Private Placement (18%) unlocked at first trading day.
Exchange news (MEXC PANews) quoting pump.fun’s tweet noted private placement fully allocated and all ICO tokens unlocked on day one; no contradictory official vesting found.
- Team and Existing Investors vest with a 12-month cliff post-TGE then 36 months linear.
Modeled from exchange academy write-ups and third-party trackers in absence of an official vesting document; flagged as low confidence.
- Community/Ecosystem, Livestreaming, Ecosystem Fund, and Foundation releases modeled as linear schedules.
No public cadence disclosed; to render a cumulative chart, assumed programmatic monthly releases over common horizons (24–48 months). Tokens may remain treasury-held until actually distributed.
