Pump.fun has officially set up its investment arm, Pump Fund, and kicked off a “Build in Public” hackathon with a total prize pool of $3 million. The program plans to back 12 projects with $250,000 each at a $10 million valuation, requiring teams to issue tokens and build transparently in public.
What stands out is the judging logic: real user traction and market response matter more than traditional pitch decks. Non-crypto projects are also welcome. Applications are open until Feb 18, with the first batch of winning projects to be announced within 30 days — a bold experiment blending funding, tokenization, and open-building culture.
