Boop.fun
Boop.fun is a decentralized memecoin launchpad on Solana that enables users to create and launch new tokens, called "cults," with minimal effort. The platform aligns incentives between creators and communities while fostering token economies through a user-friendly interface. [1] [3]
Overview
Boop.fun represents a significant innovation in the Web3 token launch ecosystem, particularly within the memecoin sector. Built on the Solana blockchain, it democratizes token creation by removing traditional barriers to entry such as venture capital backing or complex fundraising mechanisms. Instead, Boop.fun empowers anyone with an idea and a community to launch their own token with just a few clicks [1].
What distinguishes Boop.fun from other launchpads is its focus on aligning incentives between creators, early adopters, and the broader community. By implementing a tokenomics model that heavily rewards creators and community members, Boop.fun has positioned itself as a creator economy engine within the Web3 space, rather than just another token launch platform [1].
Since its launch, Boop.fun has become a significant driver of economic activity on Solana, helping to push the blockchain's decentralized exchange (DEX) volume past $2 billion per day, demonstrating the platform's impact on the broader ecosystem [1].
Key Features
Creator-Centric Tokenomics
Boop.fun's tokenomics model is designed to empower creators and early adopters. The platform allocates 50% of its total $BOOP token supply to creators and holders, which is significantly higher than typical projects that often prioritize insiders or liquidity mining. This approach ensures that those who build and grow communities around their "cults" are fairly compensated, creating a virtuous cycle of participation and promotion [1].
Strategic Airdrop System
Boop.fun implements a multi-faceted airdrop strategy that addresses different segments of the meme coin community:
- Retroactive Airdrops: These reward existing meme coin traders, giving back to those already active in the space.
- Influencer Airdrops: Using KaitoAI data, these target over 14,000 top-performing Twitter/X accounts, rewarding them for past engagement, meme creation, or community influence.
- Staking-Based Rewards: $BOOP stakers receive 5% of the total supply of all newly launched tokens on Boop.fun and 60% of Solana fees generated by trading those tokens via integrated liquidity pools [1].
This comprehensive reward system incentivizes participation from various user types, from casual traders to whales and key opinion leaders (KOLs).
Tokenomics
The $BOOP token serves as the native utility token of the Boop.fun platform. Key aspects of its tokenomics include:
- Total Supply: 1 billion BOOP tokens [2]
- Circulating Supply: Approximately 999.99 million BOOP (99.99% of total supply) [2]
- Distribution: 50% allocated to creators and holders, significantly higher than industry standards [1]
- Staking Benefits: Stakers receive 5% of all newly launched tokens and 60% of Solana fees from trading [1]
Technology and Infrastructure
Boop.fun is primarily built on the Solana blockchain, leveraging its high throughput and low transaction costs to provide a seamless user experience. The platform has also expanded to include the BNB Chain ecosystem, as evidenced by its token being available on PancakeSwap v3 (BSC) [2].
The platform's infrastructure includes:
- Integration with multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs) including Orca, Raydium (CLMM), and PancakeSwap v3
- Support from centralized exchanges like MEXC, Gate.io, BitMart, and LBank
- Integration with trading tools and bots for enhanced user experience [2]
Community and Culture
The term "cult" used for tokens launched on Boop.fun is not merely branding but represents the platform's vision of grassroots-driven economies. In this vision, a meme, narrative, or influencer's tweet can spark a viral movement. Boop.fun embraces this cultural aspect through memes, music festivals (like "1001 Crypto Nights" at TOKEN2049), and hyper-social trading tools [1].
The platform recognizes that in Web3, narrative and community drive value as much as code, making Boop.fun well-aligned with the meme-fueled rhythm of the current crypto landscape.
Strategic Partnerships
Ave.ai Integration
Ave.ai has officially integrated Boop.fun into its ecosystem, providing users with a dedicated Boop.fun token list directly within the Ave.ai platform. This integration offers:
- Instant visibility into trending "cult" tokens
- Smart money activity tracking
- Volume surge monitoring
- Contract data access
This partnership enhances trader capabilities by enabling faster discovery of newly launched Boop.fun tokens, monitoring of wallet flow and early buys, and assessment of liquidity, holder distribution, and risk factors [1].
Binance Alpha
In May 2025, Binance Alpha launched BOOP, airdropping tokens to eligible users. This development significantly boosted BOOP's visibility and trading volume, with the token experiencing substantial price movements on the BSC chain [2].
Use Cases
The primary use cases for Boop.fun include:
- Token Creation: Enabling creators to launch their own meme coins with minimal technical knowledge
- Community Building: Providing tools for communities to form around specific narratives or memes
- Reward Distribution: Facilitating the fair distribution of rewards to creators and early adopters
- Trading: Supporting the trading of newly launched tokens through integrated liquidity pools
- Staking: Allowing token holders to stake $BOOP and earn rewards from new token launches and trading fees [1]
Boop.fun x CZ Controversy
On May 5, 2025, Boop.fun’s founder faced scrutiny after former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao’s post questions his credentials.
CZ publicly stated that Binance never had a Chief Revenue Officer position, a title Boop.fun’s founder claims to have held via his X bio. [6][4]
“There are also former employees who were fired by Binance for insider trading, who claimed to be the founder or CXO of something a few years later. Binance has never had any other C-Os except the CEO, CTO, CMO, CCO, CFO, and COO,” CZ said in response to a tweet [5]
However, CZ did not reveal whether or not he was directly talking about Dingaling. [4]
