Pump.fun, the launchpad that came to dominate memecoin trading on Solana, has extended its app to HyperEVM, the Ethereum Virtual Machine execution layer built by the decentralized derivatives exchange Hyperliquid. In an announcement posted on X on Aug. 26, the company said its application now supports the chain, letting users trade any HyperEVM token with USDC through the same interface they already use on its home network. Hyperliquid runs one of the busiest venues for perpetuals trading, and HyperEVM is its bid to bring token launches and decentralized finance onto that order flow.
What the rollout adds
The launchpad said the integration goes beyond basic token support. Traders can earn what the company calls “callout rewards” and trade with “near-zero fees,” matching the low-cost model that helped Pump.fun outpace rival launchpads on Solana. Settling trades in USDC, rather than a native chain token, also keeps the experience familiar for traders who already move between memecoins and stablecoins. The announcement framed the move as a first, with Pump.fun stating, “We’re proud to be the first app to bring HyperEVM to the trenches.” That positioning is the company’s own claim and has not been independently confirmed.
HyperEVM’s growing launchpad stack
HyperEVM has been assembling a DeFi and memecoin ecosystem since its mainnet went live, and Pump.fun’s arrival adds one of the industry’s most recognizable launchpad brands to that stack. It follows other experiments such as BasedPad, a zero-fee launchpad on Hyperliquid, a sign that Hyperliquid’s execution environment is positioning itself as a rival to the venues where memecoin activity has historically concentrated. Pump.fun’s Solana roots give the integration extra weight, since the launchpad has repeatedly ranked among the most active places to launch a new token.
What is still unclear
Pump.fun did not specify a timeline for broader feature rollouts or disclose how callout rewards will be funded, and the fee structure could change as the integration matures. The company also did not say whether its Solana tools and token listings will carry over to HyperEVM. The launchpad’s move nonetheless gives HyperEVM another distribution channel while handing memecoin traders a new venue to watch. Whether activity persists will depend on liquidity and user demand that are still taking shape, so the expansion’s longer-term impact remains an open question.
