> **Video Content:** A cartoon avatar of a person wearing a 'DON'T TREAD ON' Gadsden flag bandana and a 'STOP BEING POOR' tank top appears alongside a green capsule/pill icon, with a news ticker reading 'PUMPFUN KILLS CASHBACK, PAYS HOLDERS INSTEAD'.

@Pumpfun
 said Cashback is no longer a launch option. New coins pick a creator-fee token or a Holder Rewards token that pays holders pro-rata several times an hour if they hold more than $20.

Existing Cashback and creator-fee coins"

@pumpfun
 rewards

‘Holder rewards don’t mean shit when 99.9% of coins go to zero in minutes! They just want you to hold while their bots sell on you’"

> **Visual Note:** A leaderboard screenshot ranks crypto platforms by 24h revenue, with Tether at #1 ($16.58m), Circle at #2 ($6.77m), and StonkFun at #3 ($1.84m) — showing StonkFun outperforming PumpFun (#6 at $1.22m) by nearly 2x in daily revenue. This data supports the post's claim that Stonk's launchpad is surpassing PumpFun, potentially pressuring PumpFun to reward users with an airdrop.  

> 
> "proof of concept for $Stonk is having the biggest launchpad finally listening to their users after many months

if Stonk keeps this pace they’ll force PumpFun to finally do an airdrop lmao

Stonk did ~2x of PumpFun revenue in past 24 hrs

its PumpFun is playing catchup now"

> **Visual Note:** A Pump.fun screenshot for "$BTC" (Buy The Cat) shows the user "vanshueth" labeled "Paper Handed" after taking a mere +$66.56 profit instead of holding for the $1.88K they could've made, aligning with the post's lament about missing a massive gain from a small investment on the platform.

@Pumpfun
and getting no pump and no fun

i could have easily made 3500$ from 500$
but god wanted me to suffer $400 loss"

> **Visual Note:** A profile screen for "@bolivian" on pump.fun shows a spiky-haired cat wearing sunglasses in the avatar, a profile balance of $2,788, the title "narrative hunter," and 2K followers—matching the milestone post celebrating 2,000 followers on the Pumpfun app.

> "PumpFun Introduces Holder Rewards And Removes Cashback Mode

Source: https://x.com/Pumpfun/status/2098818822417375528 We just made two HUGE changes to Pumpfun
We’re INTRODUCING Holder Rewards and REMOVING Cashback mode
Now, Holder Reward tokens pay out rewards just by holding: for longer hold times, higher ceilings & communities that thrive Cashback Mode is no longer available as a launch option. Now, coin creators can choose between a standard Creator Fee token or a Holder Rewards token when launching. Existing Cashback & Creator Fee tokens can be switched to a Holder Rewards token. Once a token becomes a Holder Rewards token, it cannot be changed."

then someone makes $200k on pumpfun, and you’re already creating a pumpfun account too

bro, that’s not the lesson

they didn’t make that money because they used fomo or pumpfun."
