Pump.fun co-founder Alon said the platform has been rolling out changes to its Callout Rewards program over the past several days, according to a post on X cited by Alon's X post. Alon said the adjustments serve two goals: incentivizing callouts on tokens with higher market capitalization, and rewarding users who come from other ecosystems, including perpetuals trading and platforms outside Solana.
The November update follows an earlier announcement flagged by Lookonchain, in which Alon said Pump.fun would reduce the reward weight given to callouts on low-market-cap tokens and move away from using trading volume as the primary factor in the program, shifting emphasis toward profits generated for followers. Lookonchain's report characterized that October statement as part of ongoing revisions to how the app scores and pays out callouts, which let users post trade ideas and earn rewards tied to the activity those calls generate.
Alon's latest post does not specify reward pool sizes, market cap thresholds, or how any multiplier tied to higher-cap callouts is calculated. The exact timeline for completing the changes and the method for measuring whether a user has "consistently" generated profits for followers remain unstated in the available posts. Pump.fun has not published additional documentation alongside Alon's remarks confirming how the two stated goals will be implemented in practice.
