pump.fun alternatives beyond solana

every "pump.fun alternative" list is the same set of Solana platforms competing on the same chain for the same launches. that comparison is real, so here it is honestly, but it hides the more interesting decision: the chain itself is a choice now. we build pmav.fun and this page says so plainly; every claim about pmav is verifiable against our verified contracts.

the solana incumbents

pump.fun is still the reference: the bonding curve model everyone copied, massive liquidity and attention, creators paid 0.300% of curve trades with a market cap tiered fee after graduation. BONK.fun routes fees into BONK buybacks and won a large share of the Solana launch flow in 2025. Moonshot made mobile onboarding with card payments its angle. Bags attaches creator fee sharing and social mechanics to launches. on Base, Zora plays a similar role for content coins. all of them compete on the same field: Solana or Base attention, SOL or ETH pricing, and a migration or graduation into a DEX at the end.

the different answer: change the field

pmav.fun on Robinhood Chain runs the same fair launch curve shape with different physics: every coin is a real Uniswap v4 pool from its first trade, there is no migration event, and graduation locks liquidity permanently in the same pool. creators keep 0.7% of every trade forever, more than double pump.fun's curve rate, at a split no owner key can change. and the curves themselves come in flavors no Solana pad offers: priced in ETH, in USDG dollars, or in tokenized stocks including NVDA, TSLA, AAPL, SPY and ten more, with the stock liquidity locked at graduation.

pmav on Arc is the same launchpad on Circle's L1 where USDC itself pays the gas: every price, fee and market cap is an exact dollar, launching costs about a cent, and settlement is final in under a second. Arc is in public testnet, so coins there carry no monetary value today; that makes it the zero risk place to practice a launch or build tooling before real dollars flow. start with launching on Arc and the free faucet.

one more thing no incumbent offers: pmav is the only launchpad publishing a hosted MCP server, so an AI agent can research the venue and prepare a launch with exact calldata and a contract simulated preflight, on either chain.

how to choose

• if you want maximum day one attention, Solana still has the deepest trench audience and pump.fun the most eyeballs. that cuts both ways: more launches to compete with per hour than anywhere else.
• if you want the fee stream, compare what share of each traded dollar reaches you and for how long: 0.300% on the curve at pump.fun versus 0.7% forever at pmav, with the split immutable.
• if you want a story no one else has, a coin priced in tokenized NVDA or launched by your own AI agent is a launch the Solana feed cannot copy.
• if you want zero risk practice, Arc testnet costs faucet money and nothing else.
