Gate Launchpad Launches PUMP: The Last Get on Board Opportunity for Regular Users?

On July 13 at 10 PM (UTC+8), Gate Launchpad officially opened the subscription for Pump.fun (PUMP) tokens. In just one hour, the subscription amount exceeded 270 million USD, and within 10 hours it surpassed 600 million USD, creating a frenzy across the entire crypto market. The total amount for this sale is 2.5 billion PUMP, priced at 1 PUMP = 0.004 USDT. Users only need to hold USDT to participate, with a minimum subscription threshold as low as 10 USDT and a cap of 12,500,000 PUMP. In response to the previous crazy rush for Pump.fun's public sale, Gate has provided ordinary investors with a fair and transparent final entry channel for this sale.

##Pump.fun public sale: sky-high valuation and instant sell-out frenzy Pump.fun, as a popular meme coin launch platform in the Solana ecosystem, has already attracted significant market attention with its public sale plan for the native token PUMP. According to the previously disclosed plan:

• Its fully diluted valuation (FDV) reaches 4 billion USD, planning to raise 600 million USD;
• Total issuance of 1 trillion pieces, the first round is set to release 150 billion pieces (15%), priced at 0.04 USDT;
• The subscription window is only 72 hours, using a "first come, first served" mechanism, and there is no individual subscription limit.

This radical plan was briefly launched on the Gate platform on July 8 and was subsequently withdrawn for adjustments, but the market enthusiasm remained undiminished. When Gate relaunched the Launchpad on July 13 with a smaller amount (2.5 billion Tokens) and a lower unit price (0.004 USDT), users flocked in, and the subscription funds exceeded 600 million USD within 10 hours, confirming the project's strong appeal and the spread of community FOMO.

##Gate Launchpad: Lowering the threshold, ensuring fairness, with a quota of 2.5 billion tokens becoming a "universal access channel" for users. Compared to the early high-threshold public sale scheme of Pump.fun, Gate's current sale strategy clearly leans towards expanding opportunities for ordinary users to participate:

1. Equalization of the quota mechanism: Although the total amount has been reduced to 2.5 billion coins, the allocation is based on "individual subscription proportion distributed by hour". The earlier you participate, the higher the quota ratio you receive, and a strict individual subscription limit (12.5 million PUMP) has been set to prevent whale monopoly;
2. The capital threshold is made more accessible: a single minimum of 10 USDT is required to participate, which is far lower than the entry requirements of several hundred dollars on other platforms.
3. Process transparency and efficiency: Subscription time compressed to 24 hours (July 13 22:00 - July 14 22:00 UTC+8), Token distribution completed quickly after the event ends, significantly improving capital efficiency.

This design allows retail investors to avoid competing for VIP qualifications or scrambling for limited shares, enabling them to secure early tokens on an equal footing at the peak popularity of Pump.fun.

##Why does the PUMP launch have strategic significance for Gate users?

1. Capture the Meme track dividends: Pump.fun is one of the largest Meme coin issuance platforms on the Solana chain, and its Token PUMP features transaction fee buyback, staking rewards, and platform ecological governance functions. After its launch, it may replicate a long-term value path similar to PancakeSwap (CAKE);
2. Platform resource tilt signal: Gate launched an exclusive benefit of "USDT financial product with up to 50% annual interest rate" for PUMP holders in July, reflecting its strong operational support for this asset;
3. Launchpad traffic entry value: This sale further consolidates Gate's position as the "primary market hotspot for asset launches". Combined with its Alpha pre-market trading, leveraged ETFs, and other tools, users can build a trading loop around PUMP, from subscription, spot trading to derivatives.

##Conclusion: Fairness is the Key to Breaking the Deadlock Against the backdrop of the frenzied financing and instant sell-out of Pump.fun, Gate Launchpad opens up a new path for ordinary users to efficiently participate in the issuance of popular assets with a total allocation of 2.5 billion, an equal mechanism with no VIP barriers, and a very low participation threshold. Regardless of how PUMP performs after its launch, Gate's attempt to balance the interests of whales and retail investors through rule design has provided an innovative reference for the distribution of Meme assets in the industry.

The market always chases the next hotspot, but only a fair participation channel can truly convert the heat into user profits.
