Pump.fun co-founder Alon said the platform has adjusted the reward algorithm behind its $15 million Callout incentive program after the first version unintentionally encouraged the wrong behavior. According to his statement, the program launched two months ago, but the original design led to low-quality spam and weakened users’ incentive to create stronger content.
The updated system now puts more weight on quality over quantity. Under the revised model, the more Callouts a user posts in a single day, the lower the marginal return becomes. Alon said the mechanism is moving in the right direction through ongoing iteration, though he added that there is still substantial work to do before large numbers of users can consistently produce high-quality content.
He also said the rewards have reached both top accounts and users with fewer than 10 followers, arguing that the system does not favor any particular group. Alon urged users to focus on recommending quality tokens, build trader trust through their content, and earn rewards based on trading volume attributed to their Callouts. He added that flooding the platform with posts or dumping on followers will not work.
According to BlockBeats, Pump.fun co-founder Alon said on Oct. 4 that the platform’s $15 million Callout rewards program has been adjusted after its first version unintentionally encouraged the wrong behavior.
Alon said the program was launched two months ago, but the initial mechanism led to low-quality spam and reduced users’ incentive to produce better content.
Pump.fun later revised the reward algorithm to place more emphasis on quality rather than quantity. Under the updated model, the more Callouts a user publishes in a day, the lower the marginal return.
He said the mechanism is moving in the right direction through iteration, but there is still a lot of work to do before users at scale can consistently create high-quality content.
Alon also said rewards have gone to both top accounts and accounts with fewer than 10 followers, adding that there is no favoritism or preferential treatment.
He advised users to focus on recommending quality tokens, build trader trust through content, and earn rewards based on trading volume attributed to their Callouts. He also said that spamming Callouts or dumping on followers will not work.
