pump.fun app adds Avalanche token trading

What happened

pump.fun announced at 20:09 UTC on 4 November that tokens from the Avalanche ecosystem are live in its app, both new and existing, with “no bridging required”. Bridging means moving funds between blockchains by hand. The post does not say which Avalanche network is covered. We found no matching statement from Avalanche’s own team when we checked on 4 November, and we have not tested the feature in the app.

This does not mean pump.fun launches coins on Avalanche. The post covers trading only, and says nothing about creating coins there.

What it should cost

The post gives no numbers. pump.fun says its crosschain fees are the cheapest, but it published no comparison and we have not verified that claim.

Avalanche’s main smart-contract network, the C-Chain, runs the Ethereum Virtual Machine, which is what makes a chain “EVM”. pump.fun’s Fees page charges 0.10% to 0.15% per EVM transaction, plus the Platform Fee on app and web trades: 0.45%, or 0.40% with any valid referral code. Every valid code gives the same 0.40%; the code only decides which referrer is paid. If those rates apply, a $100 trade pays pump.fun $0.55 to $0.60, or $0.50 to $0.55 with a code. The latest archived copy of the page predates this launch and does not name Avalanche.

Bridge, swap and pool costs can come on top. Crypto Briefing reported on 21 October that pump.fun’s own bridge charged no extra bridging fee at that time, without naming Avalanche. The app shows the amounts before you confirm. See our fees page.

What it means for traders

The post names no country limits. pump.fun prohibits the UK and sanctioned places, and nothing in this launch changes that.

The app’s text in October said holder, dev-holding and sniper data did not cover its EVM chains, and that the EVM wallet has its own private key to back up. Avalanche was not listed, so assume those gaps apply until the app shows otherwise, and check holders on a block explorer. Copycat tokens are common across chains, so match the contract address, not the name. Most memecoins lose most of their value.
