Memecoin launchpad Pump.fun reopens livestreaming to 5% of users with stricter moderation rules

Pump.fun, the Solana-based memecoin launchpad,  has resumed live streaming to a select portion of users, along with a strengthened moderation policy, after disabling the feature late last year.

The platform now prohibits — and will terminate — streams containing violence, harassment, sexual content and youth endangerment, among other listed activities. It will also suspend individuals violating these rules from livestreaming or from using Pump.fun in the future, according to the platform's website . 

The guidelines aim "to cultivate a social environment on pump fun that preserves creativity and freedom of expression and encourages meaningful engagement amongst users, free of illegal, harmful, and negative interactions," according to Pump.fun's livestream moderation policy. 

The platform's co-founder, who goes by the name Alon, said on the social media platform X on Friday that livestreams will be available to 5% of users. 

Pump.fun suspended livestreaming on Nov. 25, 2024, after users deployed " heinous " tactics to increase freshly launched token valuations, such as child abuse, bestiality and threatening suicide, The Block previously reported.
