Pump.fun introduced BOOST, a new framework for the memecoin migration process that seeks to reuse part of the liquidity previously retained in trading pools. Instead of leaving these resources permanently locked after the end of the bonding curve, the platform will now direct a portion of the capital to automatic token buybacks, followed by their burning.
According to the company, more than US$ 100 million in liquidity ends up remaining immobilized every year after tokens complete their initial launch phase. Although these amounts remain in the pools, they no longer play a relevant role after a large portion of investors exit, making them underutilized capital within the platform.
With the update, this model is undergoing a change. Previously, about 20% of the liquidity of each project remained locked during migration. Now, part of these resources will be used to execute buy orders for the token itself in the five minutes following the end of the bonding curve.
BOOST allocates 17,6 SOL to pairs traded against SOL or approximately US$ 2.516 for USDC pairs. The buybacks are distributed throughout this period using a time-weighted average price (TWAP) system, a strategy that seeks to avoid sharp fluctuations caused by concentrated orders.
After each transaction, the acquired tokens are automatically sent for burning, permanently reducing the amount of coins in circulation. According to Pump.fun, the proposal is to transform a portion of previously inactive liquidity into a mechanism capable of generating additional demand at the moment the asset begins to be freely traded.
The company said that BOOST will be automatically applied to all eligible cryptocurrencies migrated after 10:23 a.m. (United States East Coast time) on July 21. Developers or investors will not need to activate the function manually.
On the other hand, tokens that completed migration before that time will continue using the previous model. Pump.fun also said that projects launched through the Mayhem are not part of this update.
