[Pump.fun Founder Responds to Platform Reward Controversy: Early Mechanism Had Flaws, Algorithm Adjusted to Improve Content Quality] Odaily Planet Daily News: Pump.fun founder Alon responded to the controversy surrounding the Callout Rewards mechanism in a post on the X platform. He stated that the program was launched two months ago with the goal of making Pump.fun the 'most rewarding trading platform.' However, the Callout Rewards V1 version unintentionally incentivized incorrect behaviors, leading to an increase in low-quality spam content and reducing users' willingness to produce high-quality content. Alon added that the team subsequently updated the reward algorithm to prioritize quality over quantity. The marginal returns decrease as users post more callouts daily. Currently, Pump.fun has distributed rewards to accounts of various sizes, including large accounts and accounts with fewer than 10 followers, without any special treatment. In the future, the incentive logic will revolve around 'discovering quality tokens—building trader trust—earning rewards based on user trading volume.' Alon emphasized that simply spamming callouts or exploiting followers for dumping and arbitrage will not yield long-term benefits.
