A platform that has recently gained popularity through token issuance has been making frequent moves. Pumpfun announced the official establishment of an investment department, Pump Fund, with plans to incubate early-stage projects within the ecosystem through in-depth collaboration.

This investment plan is quite substantial— a $3 million hackathon project has already been launched. Valued at $10 million, they will invest $250,000 in each of 12 selected projects. The chosen projects will also receive a comprehensive support package from the platform, including technical guidance, operational resources, and community empowerment. The idea is quite clear: leverage funding to foster the growth of innovative projects within the ecosystem, while also expanding the influence and application scenarios of their own platform. For early-stage teams looking to strike it rich in the Solana ecosystem, this is indeed a promising opportunity window.

$3 million Hackathon, pumpfun is aiming to build the ecosystem, but it depends on how many reliable projects can come out in the end. Hmm, this valuation logic is interesting, a $10 million valuation divided among 12 projects... sounds like they're pouring money in to build the ecosystem. There are indeed many opportunities on Solana, but you need to identify which ones are not just air tokens. Pumpfun's transition from token issuance to investment department is a bit rapid. Honestly, giving money is easy; how to support afterward is the key.

Pumpfun is starting to cut leeks again, but this time they've come up with a new trick.

Wow, 3 million hackathons coming down directly? This pace is really intense. Pumpfun, do they genuinely want to build a big ecosystem or is it a trick to harvest profits? Not quite sure yet. $250,000 per project sounds like a lot, but the key is what kind of projects are selected. Solana is about to spark another wave of gold rush. Should I get in early or wait and see... Honestly, when capital enters to support small platforms, the tactics are just a few familiar tricks.

Wow, a $3 million hackathon? Pumpfun is going all-in on ecosystem development. Seize this wave of opportunity, the spring for solo founders has arrived. Both funding and resources are available, it's quite interesting... Just worried it might be another new way to harvest retail investors. Solana indeed lacks talent; when there's an opportunity, they throw money in—smart people's approach.

I've seen this trick before, first sucking blood to make quick money, now starting to spend money to build the ecosystem... But 3 million is indeed tempting.

Well, this round of investment positioning still has some value. But with $3 million spread across 12 projects, what can really be incubated?

Pump is back to cut the leeks again, packaging $3 million into some kind of fund investment. If you believe this, it's just unbelievable.

Wow, pump, are they really going to invest real money into the ecosystem? A 3 million hackathon with 12 options to choose from... That's pretty interesting.

Oh, Pump is raising money again? $3 million sounds impressive, but in reality, it's just split among 12 projects. I know this trick too well. It's just another round of "ecosystem building" before cutting the leeks again. Haha, who really believes that?
