Pump.fun Unleashes Mayhem Mode & AI Meme-Trading Bot – Meme Coins Brace for Impact
Pump.fun just dropped a Molotov cocktail into the meme-coin casino. Their new 'Mayhem Mode' pairs with an AI agent designed to trade meme tokens—because what could possibly go wrong?

The platform's algorithmic wildcard promises to amplify volatility—just as retail traders were getting comfortable losing money the old-fashioned way. The AI bot scans social sentiment and liquidity patterns, executing trades at speeds that leave human bag-holders blinking at their screens.

Early testers report 300% swings in shitcoin positions within minutes. 'It's like giving a chimpanzee a Bloomberg terminal,' quipped one crypto hedge fund manager while secretly allocating 2% of their portfolio to the experiment.
Closing thought: In a market where 'utility' means surviving the next 24 hours, Pump.fun just automated the hype cycle—until the SEC automates the subpoenas.

For now, the AI agent has no significant trades, but may join a token with random transactions. The increased volumes due to AI activity will happen during the first 24 hours after a token launch. Pump.fun has posted a disclaimer that Mayhem Mode does not add economic value to a token or represent any promise of future performance.
AI agent on Pump.fun will mint additional supply
Token creators on Pump.fun must select Mayhem Mode before launching their token. The model will not be deployed for already existing tokens on the Pump.fun bonding curve, or graduated tokens.
The AI agent will mint an additional 1B tokens to each meme supply, bringing the total to 2B. After that, the AI agent will use the tokens to trade randomly. The experimental feature may make the initial trading even riskier and more volatile. The agent will buy and sell the token with a random selection of actions.
At the end of the 24-hour period, the AI agent will burn all unsold tokens. Any tokens sent to the AI agent wallet during the initial Mayhem Mode period will be burned, and cannot affect the decision on buying or selling. The AI agent can randomly sell more tokens, thus depleting the bonding curve and preventing human traders from selling.
Given the prevalence of sniping bots, the AI agent may not always compete against humans, but against simpler trading bots.
Pump.fun trenches slow down
Pump.fun activity is having another slow period, with lower new token creations and fewer graduations. Daily token creation is down to 12K to 15K. Daily active addresses are down to around 31K, from a peak of over 200K about a year ago.
Under 4,000 wallets are launching new tokens, declining after the initial HYPE of the creator reward program. Fewer tokens achieve higher valuations.
Pump.fun continues to buy back PUMP, stabilizing the token around $0.004. For now, Pump.fun and PumpSwap achieve $2.8M in daily fees, enough to buy back some of the PUMP token supply.
