#PUMP $PUMP 【One in every nine cross-chain buys fails? Pump.fun decided to build its own bridge】
Pump.fun co-founder Alon posted today, calling out Relay, the cross-chain service provider they used previously.
According to the test data he shared:
🔹 Relay: More than one in nine cross-chain buys failed. Typical completion time was nearly 4 seconds, and one in ten took over 7 seconds.
🔹 Pump Bridge, built in-house: The error rate dropped by 92%, to under 1%; completion was 2 times faster; and there is currently no additional cross-chain fee.
The sample came from random tests on the Pump.fun mobile app between September 28 and October 7. It covered five chains—Robinhood, BSC, Base, Arc, and Ink—excluding Ethereum, and included 416,669 transactions in total.
How should we interpret these figures?
1️⃣ The data was collected and published by Pump.fun itself; Relay’s response is not yet clear.
2️⃣ No additional cross-chain fee doesn’t mean zero cost—the platform fee is still 0.45%.
3️⃣ Alon says the theoretical fastest completion time is about 1.1 seconds, but they’re still some way from that figure.
For people trading meme coins with small amounts, a failed cross-chain buy can mean wasted time at best, or receiving fewer coins than expected at worst. When sniping a new launch, every second counts.
$PUMP is currently priced at 0.005113, up 5.9% over 24 hours. It’s not yet clear whether this is related to the news.
I always follow two rules when buying coins cross-chain: first, make a small test transaction, and only send a larger amount once it arrives; and before placing an order, check the estimated amount to be received and the fees. You can also use an aggregator like Bridgers for cross-chain swaps, compare another route, and then place your order.
Have you ever had a cross-chain buy get stuck, or received less than expected?
