Integration of Kolscan on the pump.fun platform
The pump.fun team is working on integrating Kolscan into its ecosystem to expand functionality for users. This solution will provide traders with access to real-time analytics on profits and losses, wallet position data, as well as leaderboards ranking trading results. The Kolscan server is already well-known in the crypto community for its focus on analyzing the activity of key opinion leaders (KOL) in the field of on-chain trading.
All Kolscan services will be free for pump.fun users, and the development team plans to enhance existing product features and expand the gamification of the platform.
Development plans and preparation for the token sale
As noted by pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen, the merger with Kolscan reflects the platform’s approach to crypto trading as a social phenomenon. The team plans to implement copy trading, allowing participants to trade together and compare results with each other, as well as update leaderboard mechanisms to prevent manipulation and ensure fair competition among traders.
“Despite being a highly competitive field, @0xbor has managed to create a product that tens of thousands of the most dedicated traders in this space use daily. This speaks to the product itself and its understanding of the market,” Cohen stated.
pump.fun is also expanding the platform’s functionality by introducing live streaming, a rewards system for token holders, and the ability to create custom profiles. The main goal of the team is to create a scalable social crypto media hub for millions of users.
The acquisition of Kolscan took place ahead of the anticipated pump.fun token sale scheduled for July 12, 2025. During the initial coin offering (ICO), 33% of the total issuance of 1 billion PUMP will be released to the market, which has already generated significant interest among crypto enthusiasts.
