PUMP Airdrop is coming: Depth analysis of Pump.fun Token distribution and collection guide

With the resurgence of the Solana ecosystem, the renowned meme coin creation platform Pump.fun officially announced that it will launch the public sale of its native token PUMP on July 12, 2025, at 22:00 (Beijing time), along with the initiation of its airdrop plan. This move is seen as a key step for Pump.fun to transition from a tool-based platform to a Decentralized Finance infrastructure, also providing users with the opportunity to participate in ecological dividends.

##Airdrop Token Sources and Distribution Mechanism According to the tokenomics disclosed by the official, the total supply of PUMP is 1 trillion tokens, and its allocation ratio clearly points to the possibility of an airdrop:

1. Community and ecosystem incentives account for 24% (approximately 240 billion tokens): This portion of the tokens will be gradually unlocked from the date of issuance and will be fully distributed by July 2026. It is widely speculated in the industry that airdrops will be one of its main uses.
2. Public Sale Proportion 15% (150 billion coins): Sold at a unit price of 0.004 USDT simultaneously through the official website and 6 exchanges including Gate, Bybit, etc.
3. Other allocations include: private placement (18%, sold out), team (20%), investors (13%), etc., among which the lock-up period for team and investor tokens will last until July 2026.

Key Tip: Airdrop tokens may be prioritized for historically active users of Pump.fun, project teams that create meme coins, or community contributors. Specific rules will be announced by the official.
