Pump.fun’s Latest Experiment Is Already Getting Weird

Pump.fun now pays you to do almost anything, and people are already lining up to do the strangest things possible.

Thursday is the Solana launch pad for meme coins GO launcheda bounty platform built around the slogan “Pay ANYONE to do ANYTHING,” and within hours users had posted hundreds of tasks, including one that offered around $2,650 for someone to do a token’s ticker tattooed “on the forehead.”

“People and money are undeniably the most powerful tools on earth,” Pump.fun tweeted. “We’re combining them both with GO: a one-stop bounty platform where ANYONE can create or complete bounties on ANY task for UNLIMITED rewards.”

Users connect an

At the time of writing, GO listed 234 live bounties, 494 entries and an unclaimed pool of $118,000.

Everything is allowed

The biggest rewards remain unclaimed on the platform.

Previously, the highest paying bounty offered up to $50,000 for someone to skydive a World Cup match in a meme coin mascot costume, which required footage “verified by any media agency” and specifying that the video “cannot be AI.”

However, at the time of writing, the listing had disappeared, along with the site to report“This bounty has disappeared. It may have been closed, removed by a moderator, or never published.”

The best surviving entryworth approximately $23,525, sought an interview with a family member of the person responsible for Death of Henry Nowak or the lead police officer on the case, who requests at least two minutes of raw footage and notes that “the more viral the interview, the better.”

Below that was $15,204 to break a world record for running$12,199 on organize a “NEET march” via New York City, $11,034 to help win a token Pump.fun’s own hackathon$3,989 to get a “best butt contest,” and $9,103 to “Interview a billionaire about biological intelligence.”

Further down the board the tasks become stranger and, in some places, riskier.

Bounties asked people that setting fire to a branded car, streak an NBA Finals game, farts on a megaphone during a lecture, pour milk about themselves, hand out 100 jars of pineapple Kool-Aid to the homeless Elon Musk to join in a token on X, and bailing someone out of jail.

One participant of the approximately $2,876″Quit your job on cameraBounty live-streamed the Kick attempt and said he got fired from another job in the process, to write“This was worth it for the sol.”

Actual money was scarce. The top earner since launch collected $487.11 in a single payout, followed by purses that took home $346.72 and $275.49.

Meanwhile the biggest spender paid out $1,707 spread over 11 premiums.

An acquisition game

Pump.fun’s escrow and moderation setup may not be enough to keep harmful bounties off the platform, Musheer Ahmed, founder and director of Finstep Asia, told me Declutter.

“While escrow systems can work, when combined with moderation, it is likely that this is an automated process,” he said, adding that such systems have not proven to be fully effective on platforms like Instagram and

“It feels like it’s an attempt by pump.fun to retain users/attract non-crypto-native users,” he said, comparing it to task-based creators like MrBeast, noting that it actually doesn’t have much to do with “tokens, NFTs and crypto in general.”

We’ve been here before

GO is formalizing a stunt reward that has repeatedly become dangerous on Pump.fun.

The launch pad shut down its livestreaming feature in 2024 after an influx of controversial streams, including animal abuse, self-harm and a fake suicide.

Pump.fun revived livestreaming in early 2025 with new moderation, then leaned on creator capital markets, combining viral stunts with tradable tokens.
