Pump.fun Exposed for High Salaries to Poach FOMO Users
The community revealed that Pump.fun has launched a poaching protocol targeting FOMO users, which includes Plan A and B.
The base signing fee is $20,000 and users must unlink from FOMO, with a monthly salary of $30,000, requiring a trading volume of at least 25% of the original FOMO account or a total trading volume of $25,000; breach of contract will result in the signing fee being reclaimed. Reports indicate that Pump.fun is incentivizing users to migrate to its App with a monthly salary of $30,000.
Users and trading volume are shifting from social trading platforms to memecoin launchpads, intensifying competition driven by events, benefiting those receiving high incentives, while the original platform faces retention pressure.

Pump.fun, as a Solana-dominated memecoin launch platform, is facing the rise of social trading applications like FOMO and is directly competing for active traders through high cash incentives, shifting from product competition to user acquisition migration.
Resources are deployed in the form of signing fees and monthly salaries, motivated by the need to quickly enhance trading activity and fee revenue on the App, while requiring users to unlink from the original platform to cut off competitive ties, forming exclusive binding.
This is similar to early exchanges using rebates or airdrops for poaching; currently, it is in a phase of competing for user attention between Solana's social trading and launchpad, with incentive wars becoming the primary means of short-term customer acquisition.
Essentially, it represents capital concentration: high-value traders are incentivized by cash to move from one platform to another, with mechanisms in place where the monthly salary threshold and trading volume requirements directly monetize user output, accelerating traffic redistribution.
