Pump.fun makes BOOST default for new token migrations after July 21

The Solana-based launchpad says the new liquidity mode is projected to lift liquidity for each newly migrated coin by about 20%, based on internal company estimates.

Fact Check
The official @Pumpfun posts confirm BOOST is 'the new standard launch mechanism for EVERY new pump fun coin,' automatically active for tokens migrating after July 21, 2026 (10:23 EST), matching the 'default for new token migrations after July 21' claim. The ~20% figure is directly stated by Pump.fun as the share of liquidity historically sacrificed as 'dead liquidity' that BOOST now reinjects, and secondary reporting (Phemex, The Defiant) frames this as a ~20% liquidity increase per coin based on company projections. All facts align with the claim; the only minor nuance is that ~20% is the dead-liquidity reinjection amount rather than a strictly separate 'lift' estimate, but this is consistent with the claim's characterization.
Summary

Pump.fun said BOOST Mode will become the default launch mechanism for all new tokens that complete migration after 10:23 a.m. ET on July 21, and the Solana-based launchpad now says the feature is projected to increase liquidity by about 20% for each newly migrated coin based on its internal estimates. The company has said the change is meant to address “dead liquidity” and liquidity leakage when tokens move from a bonding curve to liquidity pools, a transition co-founder alon said results in more than $100 million in lost liquidity each year. Under the rollout, Pump.fun said it will inject 17.6 SOL for SOL pairs and $2,516 for USDC pairs within five minutes of migration, using post-migration TWAP buybacks, token burns and liquidity reinjection, while leaving trading unchanged during both the bonding-curve and liquidity-pool stages.

Terms & Concepts
  • BOOST Mode: Pump.fun’s liquidity mode that becomes the default launch mechanism for newly migrated tokens.
  • TWAP: A time-weighted average price method used to carry out buybacks over time rather than in a single trade.
  • bonding curve: A token pricing model used before migration to liquidity pools, where price changes with buying demand.
