Initial Teases & Community Allocation

  • Referenced as part of 24% ecosystem/community allocation
  • Initial hints of post-launch distribution
CURRENT STATUS
NO CONFIRMED AIRDROP AS OF JANUARY 31, 2026

Outstanding Issues

  • No confirmed snapshot date
  • No eligibility criteria disclosed
  • No distribution timeline announced
  • Community discussions reference ongoing delay / absence of details
  • Exact final ICO allocation breakdown post-adjustments (reports vary between $500M–$600M public; private amounts inconsistent across sources)
  • Precise airdrop mechanics, criteria, timeline, or percentage of supply (community allocation referenced but no public execution details)
  • Full vesting/unlock schedule impacts on circulating supply beyond partial reports (e.g., team/investor cliffs noted in some analyses)
  • Long-term revenue-sharing or buyback mechanisms tied to PUMP holders (speculated in pre-launch reports; no confirmed implementation details)
