today marks another historic day for the $PUMP ecosystem What we’re known for is innovating, growing the market as a whole and creating the most retail-friendly products. But we have always wanted to find more ways to support and reward our existing, loyal user base, most of which uses pro trading terminals. When making major changes to pump fun’s smart contracts, we’re constantly in touch with pro trading terminals that have integrated our infrastructure so that user experience is unaffected. While most teams - even the most established players - regularly mess up, causing temporary outages and user losses, the Padre team have always been on point and showed the highest degree of professionalism. And while observing the ecosystem closely over the past months, I noticed that they always integrated new launchpads, chains, and features before everyone else. With less time in the market, fewer resources, and less distribution, they were able to become one of the most popular trading tools onchain, an incredibly impressive feat. I very clearly remember how users that initially joked about Padre turned into loyal users of the product only weeks later. The Padre team has shown the most grit, execution capability and integrity out of any crypto team I have gotten to know. Most importantly, when I spoke to some of our users that use Padre’s products, the #1 piece of feedback I received is that they’re far and away the most responsive, caring, and competent team in the game. Partnering with Padre was a no-brainer. Starting today, we will be dedicating significant resources and attention to making Padre the #1 pro trading terminal in the space by giving users the most advanced, performant, and rewarding product. I’m also incredibly excited to incorporate one of the top revenue generators in DeFi into the $PUMP ecosystem. to all onchain traders: now’s probably a good time to make the switch.
