Pump.fun co-founder says Callout Rewards will shift away from volume and focus on follower profits

Pump.fun co-founder Alon said the platform will make major changes to its Callout Rewards program over the next few days, with some of the revisions taking effect starting with today’s reward distribution. Under the updated framework, rewards tied to Callouts for low-market-cap tokens will carry less weight. Trading volume will also no longer serve as the main basis for payouts. Instead, the program will place greater emphasis on whether followers who copy those trades actually make money. Alon said the goal is to make Callouts generate wealth effects for a broader group of participants rather than mainly benefiting a small number of highly skilled traders. He added that if participants cannot keep helping followers stay profitable on a sustained basis, their chances of receiving rewards will drop sharply under the revised system.
