Pump.fun Plans to Link Callout Rewards to Followers' Actual Profits

WHY IT MATTERS

In crypto, especially with newer and smaller tokens, people sometimes promote coins to others in order to earn rewards or drive up the price of tokens they already hold. Think of it like someone recommending a restaurant — but they get paid just for making the recommendation, regardless of whether the food is good. Pump.fun's proposed change would be like only paying that person if the diners actually enjoyed their meal. This matters because it could reduce the incentive for people to promote low-quality or risky tokens purely for personal gain, potentially offering some protection for newer participants who follow others' recommendations. However, no system is foolproof, and users should still exercise caution with any token recommendations they encounter.
