Pump.fun co-founder Alon said on X that the platform is revising its reward algorithm to reduce incentives tied to low-quality token promotion. The change is aimed at limiting cases where some users earn rewards by repeatedly recommending low-market-cap tokens without considering whether followers actually make money from those calls. At the same time, Alon said the team is aware of a trade-off: restricting rewards for micro-cap token recommendations could also prevent users who identify high-potential tokens early from receiving proper credit. According to his post, Pump.fun is now studying how to define early recommendations that deserve rewards and is working on a corresponding market-cap threshold. Specific standards have not been disclosed. Alon added that the platform plans to keep refining the reward system, with a focus on rewarding users who genuinely help their followers generate profits.
Pump.fun co-founder Alon said in a post on X that the platform is adjusting its reward algorithm, with the main goal of reducing incentives for low-quality token calls.
He said the move is intended to stop some users from collecting rewards by pushing large numbers of low-market-cap tokens without considering the actual returns of the followers who act on those recommendations.
Alon also said the platform recognizes a separate issue: limiting rewards for micro-cap token recommendations could mean that users who successfully spot high-potential tokens early do not receive the rewards they should.
The team is now studying how to define high-quality early recommendations that deserve rewards and plans to set a related market-cap threshold. Specific criteria have not been announced. Alon said the reward mechanism will continue to be refined, with future incentives focused on users who genuinely help followers make profits.
