Recently, Mr. Sun Yuchen, the founder of TRON, led the TRON ecosystem to break through the 'atmosphere' in the 'space walk'. Tron Inc.
The listing on Nasdaq also brought the TRON ecosystem into the spotlight of the global financial stage. In this moment of brilliance in the crypto world, SunPump, the core product of the TRON ecosystem, celebrated its first anniversary.
On August 13, 2024, SunPump showcased its brilliance with its Beta version. A year later, SunPump has become one of the top meme fair launch platforms globally. As of August 11, the total number of tokens created on the SunPump platform has exceeded 100,324.
Since its inception, SunPump has demonstrated its incredible explosive power: in its first week, it spawned hundreds of times growth projects, with platform revenue exceeding Pump.fun, quickly establishing its market position. By the end of 2024, SunPump's total revenue reached $11.93 million, ranking second in the industry. In 2025, SunPump continued to enhance its 'wings', systematically lowering the participation threshold for users by building the AI token issuance tool SunGenX and providing strong upward space and liquidity guarantees for quality meme projects through the 'CEX Alliance Program' and Web3 wallet cooperation matrix.
At the same time, leveraging the vast user base and traffic dividends of TRON, combined with the deflationary model of ecological collaboration and deep global community operation and cultural output, SunPump successfully transforms 'meme sentiment' into tradable on-chain assets and a sustainable growth flywheel, not only reshaping the pattern of the meme track but also becoming the strongest traffic and value hub driving the prosperity of the entire TRON ecosystem.
The development trajectory of SunPump over the past year can be described as an intensive and efficient 'innovation blitz', simultaneously launching efforts in five major battlefields: popular product creation, cooperation expansion, product upgrades, ecological collaboration, and community building. It has transformed from a phenomenon-level meme fair launch platform challenger to a mainstream 'leader' in meme assets, becoming an indispensable traffic engine and cultural melting pot of the TRON ecosystem.
At this moment, let us penetrate the data flood and highlight moments to decode the SunPump-led revolution of the meme universe closed loop.
1. Popular Launch: Creating Growth Myths, Knocking on the Door of the Mainstream
On August 13, 2024, the DEX SUN.io in the TRON ecosystem launched its sub-product SunPump. Previously, SUN DAO initiated a voting proposal to expand meme products, which passed with overwhelming support.
On August 15, 2024, SunPump, together with SUN.io, launched a meme ecological incentive program with a scale of up to $10 million. This injected strong momentum into meme projects, promoting innovation and growth within the ecosystem. In the first week of launch, SunPump ignited the market with great momentum, with a peak of 7,531 tokens created on the SunPump platform in a single day, 8.5% higher than top competitors, daily revenue exceeding $560,000, and daily trading volume reaching as high as $59.1 million. Within 11 days after launch, the platform's cumulative revenue exceeded $1.1 million.
By the end of 2024, the total revenue data of the SunPump platform reached a new milestone, with a cumulative total revenue of $11.93 million, ranking second in the industry. The trading ecosystem of the platform also performed actively, with the total number of trading transactions for meme projects reaching 9 million. As of August 11, 2025, the cumulative number of tokens issued by SunPump exceeded 100,000, with total trading volume exceeding $3.9 billion, further proving SunPump's extensive influence and industry-leading position in the meme market.
In terms of creating popular products, the SunPump platform has birthed a matrix of popular projects with hundredfold market values; within a week of its launch, 6 meme projects surpassed a market value of $1 million. The hot project SUNDOG's market value rapidly broke through $53.4 million within just 8 hours of launch, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $5 million, aiming for a peak market value of $1 billion, successfully entering the top 30 meme tokens by market value. SUNDOG has sparked a strong 'breaking the circle' effect globally, attracting the participation of the world-renowned rapper Ty Dolla $ign (@tydollasign).
2. Cooperation Expansion: Building a Value Circulation Network
SunPump reshapes the track pattern in the role of 'wealth manufacturing machine' for memes, but having popular products is not enough; for meme assets to survive in the long run, the value ascent channel must be opened. Over the past year, SunPump's strategic focus has been aimed at the core pain points of the industry—building a bridge for the mainstreaming of meme assets.
In August 2024, SunPump established deep cooperation with leading cryptocurrency exchanges HTX and Poloniex to provide one-click 'listing channels' for meme projects that meet specific trading volume standards. In December 2024, SunPump also reached a strategic cooperation with the top global exchange Bitget, which provides comprehensive listing support for quality meme projects, including accelerating the listing process, providing expert guidance, as well as market activities and trading promotion, supporting SunPump in expanding the market and promoting platform projects globally.
Currently, meme projects can initiate exchange listing applications on the SunPump official website. SunPump has opened fast channels with seven mainstream exchanges, including HTX, Poloniex, MEXC, Bybit, Gate, KuCoin, and BingX.
For quality meme projects, SunPump also launched an ambitious 'CEX Alliance Program' in May 2025, forming a capital pathway matrix with eight major centralized exchanges including BingX, HTX, and BitMart. This alliance will select projects with a market value exceeding $500,000 and stable on-chain performance, providing them with fast listing channels, joint marketing support, and comprehensive ecological activity resources (including airdrops, trading competitions, etc.). This provides broader market exposure and stronger liquidity support for SunPump's meme tokens, accelerating the development of the TRON meme ecosystem.
On July 11, 2025, SunPump achieved another strategic breakthrough in cooperation with top exchanges, successfully launching the meme coins SUNDOG and PePe, which were fairly launched on SunPump, on Binance's Alpha zone. Leveraging the value discovery system of top exchanges, it quickly ignited market enthusiasm. In the first week after launch, it had significant breakthroughs, with SUNDOG's on-chain trading volume increasing by as much as 219%, and PePe's on-chain trading volume increasing by 26.3%, marking an important step for SunPump in promoting the circulation of meme assets.
Thus, TRON provides a complete development path for meme assets. From token launches on SunPump, to landing on DEX, and then to mainstream trading platforms like HTX and Binance Alpha, the entire process is smooth and unobstructed, with a smooth logic of ecological development. This advantage has made TRON the new favorite of meme investors.
Currently, popular tokens such as SUNDOG, PePe, SUNCAT, and PUSS on SunPump have successively landed on mainstream trading platforms. This means that SunPump's ecological assets have gained deep recognition in the mainstream market.
To ensure that ecological meme tokens reach as many users as possible, SunPump has been actively expanding cooperation with Web3 wallets over the past year, achieving deep cooperation with more than ten mainstream Web3 wallets including Binance Wallet, Bitget Wallet, TokenPocket, imToken, Nabox Wallet, Hot Wallet, Klever Wallet, Coinomi Wallet, Tomo Wallet, and UXUY Telegram Wallet, continuously broadening the influence boundary of the SunPump ecosystem.
3. Product Upgrades: Lowering Barriers, Igniting Creativity
The soul of meme culture lies in the instantaneous resonance of community emotions. As AI technology sparks a product revolution, SunPump swiftly launched AI tools with foresight, accelerating the empowerment of the SunPump meme ecosystem and showcasing its leading position in the integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence.
In December 2024, SunPump launched the first AI Agent of the TRON ecosystem—SunAgent, which provides users with an unprecedented convenient experience through advanced technologies such as deep learning and natural language processing. Users can easily generate key information such as token name, symbol, description, and images by conversing with SunAgent, revolutionizing the token creation process and enhancing user experience.
In March 2025, building on the success of SunAgent, SunPump launched the AI-driven meme token creation tool SunGenX, which achieves fully automated meme token generation based on the TRON blockchain. Users only need to @Agent_SunGenX on X, input the token name, symbol, and description, and SunGenX can automatically complete the intelligent generation, contract deployment, and on-chain issuance of the token, compressing the entire process to minutes. This not only lowers the technical threshold to nearly zero, maximizing public participation in meme culture but also greatly accelerates the response speed of market hotspots.
When AI tools break through the token issuance barrier, triggering an asset flood, SunPump intervened at the most critical pricing stage by employing a bonding curve pricing model, dynamically adjusting prices based on the token supply chain. This fundamentally reduces the bubble risk caused by 'over-issuance'. More crucially, when the market value of the token reaches 100% of the bonding curve, all liquidity in the bonding curve will be deposited into SunSwap and burned, empowering the token and enhancing market confidence.
Since its inception, SunPump has carried out a series of product updates and feature upgrades, not only greatly enhancing user experience but also further expanding the ecological boundaries of the platform, making it a more complete and diverse meme asset issuance and trading ecosystem.
This set of 'asset discovery → value assessment → consensus enhancement' tool chain enables SunPump to evolve into the management hub for the full cycle of meme assets:
● Sunflare: Real-time tracking of tokens with a bonding curve progress ≥80%, accurately capturing early value targets, keeping users ahead of the market.
● SunPump Ranking: Real-time ranking of tokens based on key indicators such as trading volume and market capitalization, providing users with clear investment references.
● Dlive Live: SunPump collaborates with Dlive to launch live streaming features, helping meme project parties better interact with community users.
4. Ecological Collaboration: Building a Strong Liquidity Engine
Beyond product innovation, SunPump's fundamental competitive advantage lies in the large and prosperous TRON ecosystem behind it. According to TRONSCAN data, there are currently over 320 million accounts in the TRON ecosystem, providing a stable source of traffic for meme coins on SunPump. The issuance of USDT on the TRON chain exceeds $82.6 billion, occupying a significant portion of the global stablecoin market, which in some ways serves as SunPump's 'margin', injecting substantial liquidity into the meme ecosystem. To use a metaphor from physical commerce, SunPump is like a 'Pop Mart' with a strong market presence, located in the most bustling shopping center of the city (TRON).
In SunPump's design philosophy, traffic among ecosystems complements each other. While relying on the strong 'infrastructure' of TRON, SunPump also further nourishes the TRON ecosystem.
One week after SunPump's launch, the core data and ecosystem of TRON showed significant growth, with an average daily transaction volume maintained above 8 million and average daily active users approaching 3 million. Among public chain platforms, TRON ranked first with $3.84 million in revenue, three times that of Ethereum ($1.12 million) in second place, and six times that of Solana ($545,000) in third place.
To further accelerate ecological collaboration, in the first month of its launch, SunPump announced a significant decision to inject 100% of all protocol revenue into smart contracts, automatically repurchasing and burning SUN in a decentralized and verifiable manner, returning value to the community and continuously empowering token value. SunPump always places community value feedback above platform profits; this is not a strategic choice, but rather the survival philosophy accumulated by the TRON ecosystem over many years.
As of now, the SUN buyback and burn mechanism has been operating steadily for 45 phases, with the total amount of SUN burned exceeding 639 million tokens, of which 285 million SUN tokens were used for buybacks and burns from SunPump's revenue. This not only accelerates the deflation process of SUN but also closely binds the prosperity of the meme ecosystem to the value enhancement of the entire TRON public chain, forming a positive flywheel.
On the basis of continuously enriching its 'hard power', SunPump is also actively collaborating with TRON ecosystem projects. Recognizing the natural fit of meme culture with NFTs in community-driven and collectible value, SunPump has teamed up with the heavyweight NFT platform APENFT in the TRON ecosystem to launch NFT Pump—the first NFT issuance platform focused on fair launches on the TRON network. This breaks down the value barriers between meme coins and NFTs, providing creators with a new avenue to transform popular cultural symbols and community consensus into unique digital collectibles, greatly enriching the connotation and expression forms of the ecosystem.
5. Community Carnival: Igniting the Flame of Emotion
In the early days of its launch, SunPump's official X account attracted the attention of Mario Nawfal, founder of IBC Group, a million-follower blogger on X, and the most active and listened-to host of Web3 Spaces globally. Mario Nawfal, together with Mr. Sun Yuchen and the SunPump team, co-hosted a highly anticipated X Space seminar, which attracted a large number of participants, and SunPump gained significant attention due to its popularity.
SunPump understands the importance of establishing brand awareness in the Web3 world, so it has not limited itself online but actively appeared at top global industry summits, bringing 'TRON meme culture' to the world stage. From Tron Inc.'s official listing on Nasdaq and Mr. Sun Yuchen's 'space walk' to the Token2049 Dubai Summit, Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, and the sponsorship of the top Middle Eastern summit Meta Crypto Oasis 2025... SunPump's presence has been felt at multiple important international occasions. This has greatly enhanced its brand influence in key markets such as North America, East Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, while showcasing the construction achievements and unique charm of the TRON ecosystem in the field of meme culture to global Web3 participants, attracting global traffic and resources to the ecosystem.
At the same time, SunPump has elevated community building to a cultural co-construction project, continuously igniting global participation enthusiasm through a high-frequency activity matrix. From daily SunFlush topic voting to monthly ecological carnivals, each interaction becomes a trigger point for the cohesion of community strength. Among them, the TRON Meme Carnival Month jointly held by SunPump and HTX, as well as the 'Interstellar Heat Wave' ecological month activity jointly initiated by SunPump with JUST and BitTorrent, are the best examples of SunPump's community operation capabilities.
The TRON Meme Carnival Month, a nearly month-long festive event, set up rich activities such as creative challenges, interactive tasks, in-depth Space interviews, and airdrop benefits, with a total prize pool of up to 50,000 USDT. The event successfully attracted over 40,000 users to participate deeply, with trading volume exceeding 40.57 million USDT and total platform exposure reaching nearly 20 million. This feast not only unleashed the tremendous vitality of TRON's meme culture but also proved the powerful strength of community-driven efforts.
The 'Interstellar Heat Wave' ecological month activity has further elevated the influence and liquidity of the TRON ecosystem to a 'peak moment'. During the event, the number of participants exceeded 442,000; the issuance volume of SunGenX surged, with a total of 967 tokens issued, accounting for about 80% of the total issuance on the site, continuously maintaining its position as a core traffic entry point for the platform. The trading volume of TRON ecosystem tokens reached an astonishing $138 million, demonstrating the strong influence and community cohesion of the TRON ecosystem.
To continuously gather community consensus, SunPump also regularly holds high-profile 'SunFlash' Space roundtable forums every week, inviting industry opinion leaders, analysts, and project parties to deeply discuss the underlying logic and cutting-edge trends shaping the meme market. The topics are highly timely and in-depth. For example, analyzing Elon Musk's renaming of 'GorklonRust' igniting the Grok series meme coin craze, focusing on the value anchoring of stablecoins in volatile markets. These discussions transcend simple price predictions, providing the community with intellectual tools to understand market pulses, making SunPump a 'sentiment economy conference room'.
Content can be said to be the 'capillary' connecting projects and communities. In addition to regularly holding community events and Space roundtables, in January 2025, SunPump also launched the TRON Eco Star incentive program for the creator ecosystem, which recognizes and rewards outstanding contributors to promoting the TRON ecosystem (especially meme culture) with continuously increasing reward pools. Creators gain recognition and incentives through this program, and their high-quality content becomes a key node connecting SunPump, the TRON ecosystem, and a broader user base, forming a powerful information dissemination and value diffusion network.
6. Conclusion
Thus, SunPump has completed a full ecological loop from automated minting of meme tokens, community consensus, to popular incubation, market circulation, and value accumulation. SunPump's 'five battlefields' empower one another: AI lowers the creation threshold, CEX opens up value channels, ecological collaboration creates growth flywheels, and community consensus gathers hundredfold growth, together constructing a self-evolving paradigm of the TRON meme universe.
SunPump has proven with solid footsteps over the past year that it is steadfastly sailing towards the 'starry sea of the sentiment economy'. Looking ahead to the next anniversary, SunPump's ambition is clearly not limited to incubating a few skyrocketing tokens. It aims to transform the viral dissemination power of memes into a structural asset diversion engine in the fast-moving blockchain universe of TRON, fueled by the community and powered by innovation: on the one hand, preserving the original ignition capability of 'emojis + community memes' to ensure project cold start efficiency; on the other hand, pre-setting value conversion channels for each meme token, continuously pumping the surging blood flow of value and consensus, illuminating the infinite possibilities of Web3.
