We’re bringing back a literal blue antelope. From extinction. Because nature has range. Today we’re announcing the bluebuck de-extinction project. Gone since 1800, this silvery, slate-blue grazer once shaped South Africa’s grasslands. Now it’s on its way back. 💪 (1/10)

today is a turning point for $PUMP and pump fun I want to give more context on the bigger picture and where we're actually going. over the past ~9 months, 100% of revenue went into buybacks. basically no other platform in crypto has done that at this scale. however, we received ongoing feedback specifically on the feeling of a lack of trust - in the certainty of buybacks, in what would happen to the bought-back tokens, even in whether the business itself would be here in a year. today, we’re changing that. it started with burning ~$370M worth of $PUMP purchases. ~36% of the circulating supply removed from circulation, forever. but that isn’t enough. we’ve also allocated 50% of our next year of revenue to programmatic buybacks & burns. no more uncertainty for those who believe in us & those we’re proud to call our community. but why not 100%? the short answer is the business simply needs the other 50% to grow. a large treasury gives us the flexibility to make big bets over the next 5-10 years, and 50% of ongoing revenue enables us to build better products, infrastructure & reinvest into the ecosystem. I am extremely confident that 50% of the business we're building toward will dwarf 100% of the business we have today.

The future of $PUMP We have burned ALL bought back $PUMP tokens, around $370M worth of purchases (~36% of circulating supply), to gain trust with our community. On top of that, we have initiated a programmatic buyback *and burn* scheme at 50% of revenue for the next year to instill trust, predictability, and sustainability for the underlying ecosystem - and to remove as much of the supply from circulation as possible. $PUMP is changing; for the better of token holders, the team and the ecosystem.
