Four.meme has officially surpassed Pump.fun in daily token launches and revenue, marking a major shift in the memecoin launchpad ecosystem. While Pump.fun cools after months of explosive growth, Four.meme on BNB Chain is experiencing record-breaking activity.
According to blockchain researcher Ario, Solana’s memecoin activity has declined sharply since early September, while Four.meme has risen to dominate new token launches and trading volume.
Solana’s Cooldown: From 40K Launches to 10K
In early September, Solana was the leading hub for memecoin launches, according to data provided by SolanaFloor and Ario. Retail traders flocked to Pump.fun to mint and trade new tokens, pushing daily launches as high as 40,000. But by October 8, that number dropped to 10,500, marking a 73% decline from its all-time high.
Pump.fun’s revenue also took a hit. On September 15, it earned $2.4 million in a single day. By October, daily revenue had fallen below $600,000 — its lowest in two months.
This slowdown wasn’t limited to token creation. The number of “graduated” tokens — those that completed the bonding curve phase and moved to open trading — also fell. The data reflects a broad reduction in speculative intensity across Solana’s ecosystem.
The Rise of Four.meme: From 3K to 47K Launches
While Solana’s activity cooled, the BNB Chain saw a sharp increase in new launches — led by Four.meme, a launchpad purpose-built for memecoin creation.
In mid-September, Four.meme averaged around 3,100 token launches per day. By October 3, daily launches surged to 10,800, and by October 7, it reached 26,800.
On October 8, Four.meme hit a new record with 47,800 tokens launched within 24 hours — nearly double Pump.fun’s output. The surge established the BNB Chain as the new center of memecoin activity.

The Revenue Flip: Four.meme Takes the Lead
As user activity shifted, so did revenue. On October 7, Four.meme earned $2.5 million in daily fees, overtaking Pump.fun’s $900,000. The following day, Four.meme reached $4.1 million, setting a new all-time high.
Pump.fun, meanwhile, recorded its lowest earnings in two months. The contrasting figures reflect a clear migration of user attention and liquidity from Solana to BNB Chain.

Trading Volume Confirms the Shift
Over the last 30 days, tokens launched through Pump.fun and Four.meme have generated a combined $39.6 billion in DEX trading volume. Of that total, 65.3% came from Four.meme tokens on BNB Chain.
On October 9, daily trading volume for Four.meme tokens reached $3.1 billion, while Pump.fun’s tokens on Solana managed only $280 million. The numbers confirm that the market momentum has shifted decisively toward Four.meme.

Why Users Are Moving to Four.meme
The shift isn’t just about trading activity. It reflects deeper changes in infrastructure, incentives, and ecosystem development.
1. The CTO Grant Program
Four.meme launched its CTO Grant Program in August, offering funding, marketing exposure, and ecosystem support to token projects built on its platform.
The program targets memecoin builders focused on long-term growth rather than short-term speculation. Eligible tokens must be launched through Four.meme, and applicants gain access to:
- Platform visibility on Wello, CoinMarketCap, and through official AMAs
- Strategic funding for marketing and liquidity support
- Access to ecosystem partners such as EAGELS Vault
- Long-term exposure within the Four.meme community
This initiative has attracted developers who value sustainability and structured growth in tokenomics and community-building.
2. Meme2Million Campaign
Earlier in April, Four.meme partnered with PancakeSwap to launch the Meme2Million campaign. The program rewards high-performing memecoin projects with:
- Regular token burns to enhance value retention
- Greater liquidity support
- Additional visibility across major platforms
The campaign provided ongoing incentives for memecoin projects to build and grow beyond the initial hype.
Binance Wallet and MemeRush Integration
The ecosystem expanded further with the October 10 launch of MemeRush, a new platform developed jointly by Binance Wallet and Four.meme.
MemeRush allows verified Binance Wallet Keyless users to access new memecoin launches early. These users can buy, hold, and participate in projects without directly managing private keys — a system that offers security and ease of access.
How MemeRush Works
MemeRush follows a structured, three-stage model for new token launches:
New Stage
- Available only to Binance Wallet Keyless users
- Tokens can be purchased but are non-transferable
- Liquidity is managed through a virtual liquidity pool
- Prices follow a bonding curve model to ensure fair distribution
Finalizing Stage
- Continued access for Keyless users only
- Bonding curve mechanics remain active
- Tokens still non-transferable
- Prepares the project for migration to a DEX
Migrated Stage
- Open to all users
- Tokens become fully transferable on DEXs
- Liquidity moves from the virtual pool to decentralized markets
- Projects appear on the Binance Wallet Migrated Tokens Ranking
Tokens that reach milestones like $1 million FDV at launch may qualify for a Binance Alpha listing, further expanding their reach. Binance also counts trading volume during early stages as 4x toward Alpha points, encouraging early engagement.
Conclusion
Four.meme has overtaken Pump.fun across nearly every measurable metric — daily launches, revenue, and trading volume. Supported by grant initiatives, structured token launches, and integration with Binance Wallet’s MemeRush, Four.meme has positioned itself as a leading hub for memecoin creation on the BNB Chain.
While Solana’s activity has cooled, the competition between ecosystems continues to shape how retail traders and developers approach memecoin markets. The outcome will depend not on hype but on infrastructure, liquidity, and user experience.
