Pump.fun Co-founder: Will Adjust Reward Algorithm to Focus on Reducing Incentives for Low-Quality Shilling

Odaily reports that Pump.fun co-founder Alon posted on X platform that the platform is adjusting its reward algorithm, focusing on reducing incentives for low-quality shilling behavior, to prevent some users from earning rewards by mass-recommending low-market-cap tokens without considering the actual returns of their followers.

Alon stated that the platform also recognizes that limiting rewards for micro-cap token recommendations could prevent users who successfully identify high-potential tokens from receiving their due returns. Therefore, the team is researching how to define high-quality early recommendations worthy of rewards and establish corresponding market cap thresholds. The specific criteria have not yet been announced. In the future, the reward mechanism will be further improved, with a focus on rewarding users who genuinely help their followers achieve profits.
