📝 What you need to know

In the beginning—and by that we mean a few weeks ago—devs who wanted to pump Solana meme coins they launched on Pump.fun would use Kick, Twitter, or even Telegram to promote their wares. But after a string of crazy stunts to pump meme coins, Pump.fun has made streaming a native feature.

It hasn’t taken long for devs to ramp up their coin-shilling hijinks. One has been doing a livestream of their asshole and another has been streaming their 7-year-old daughter.

“There aren’t rules for streaming. Depending on the content of your stream it’ll be tagged as [safe for work] or [not safe for work],” Pump.fun support, Shadow, told Decrypt on Telegram. He later added that it’s on the moderator to manually add those tags.
