But hold up! Before the dust even settled, Moonshot came out swinging with Moonshot Create, a no-code launcher that's as easy as tapping Apple Pay three times. Suddenly, anyone can be a memecoin mogul.

These back-to-back moves set the stage for a wild showdown in Solana's memecoin arena. Pump.fun's all about speed, cranking up the trading velocity to warp factor. Meanwhile, Moonshot's banking on simplicity, turning memes into money with a snap of the fingers.

The battle for memecoin dominance: speed vs. simplicity

Pump.fun's 2.0 isn't just a glow-up; it's a survival strategy. With $11.2 billion in trading volume in April 2025 alone, they're doubling down on their die-hard degens who treat memecoin trading like a high-stakes game.

That new "Movers Feed" and tap-to-ape? They're straight-up designed for the breakneck pace of Solana's meme markets, where a second's delay could cost you a 10x gain. But speed's not the only game in town.

Pump.fun's May move to a 50% fee-sharing model? That's genius. It's all about keeping creators in the game for the long haul. Before, it was all about dumping and running, giving Pump.fun that rug pull rep. Now, with 0.05% of every trade flowing back to creators, it's a whole new ballgame.

Meanwhile, Moonshot's playing a different tune. With Apple Pay and three-tap token creation, they're rolling out the red carpet for the normies who wouldn't know a DEX if it hit them in the face.

Moonshot's numbers are insane, going from 4,000 daily users in 2024 to a mind-blowing 20 million by 2025. It's proof that there's a huge appetite for memecoins without all the crypto jargon. And with Jupiter's acquisition backing them, Moonshot's liquidity and visibility are off the charts.

Security's another big win for Moonshot. While Pump.fun's trying to clean up its act with Bubblemaps transparency, it's still got that shady rep. Moonshot's all about those audited contracts, but some folks are still skeptical without public proof.

Both platforms are facing the same wild west: the easier it is to launch memecoins, the tougher it is to keep the bad actors out.

Pump.fun's path to a DEX listing at a $60K market cap is a cakewalk compared to Moonshot's 500 SOL ($73K) threshold. But Moonshot's token burns? They're adding that sweet deflationary pressure, at least in theory.

Neither's cracked the code on stopping the pump-and-dump chaos, but they're betting big that money talks louder than the madness.
