Pump.fun has reclaimed the top spot in Solana’s meme-coin launchpad race, while Snorter Bot Token (SNORT) is aiming to scan all launchpads (Pump.fun, LetsBonk, and more). SNORT’s ICO has surpassed $3 million, with the latest presale price at $0.1011 and a toolkit promising fast sniping, MEV protection, honeypot checks, and copytrading. PUMP, Pump.fun’s ecosystem token, has also gained momentum over the past week as platform metrics improved.
Pump.fun’s comeback and what it means for PUMP
After a month of being outpaced by LetsBonk, Pump.fun has made a strong comeback in daily token launches and revenue share. The reversal began on August 6, with Pump.fun averaging around $1.39 million/day in revenue compared to $152K for LetsBonk during the same period — coinciding with renewed activity across Pump.fun trading pairs. This momentum has also driven a 12.3% weekly gain in PUMP, alongside buyback programs that have reportedly removed about 0.67% of the total supply.
At the time of writing, PUMP is trading around $0.0041, with Gate among the exchanges offering active PUMP/USDT markets.
Snorter: a launchpad-agnostic bot as PUMP volumes shift
The story here isn’t just that Pump.fun is back — it’s that Snorter Bot Token (SNORT) is being built to follow opportunities regardless of where they appear. The team describes Snorter as a Solana-based Telegram trading bot that monitors mempools and DEX events to detect new launches and execute orders within milliseconds, whether Pump.fun or LetsBonk is leading the market. Presale materials highlight Fast Sniper, MEV protection, honeypot detection, and copytrading as core features aimed at narrowing the information gap between whales and retail traders.
From a market structure perspective, this positioning matters: if liquidity and project launches shift between launchpads, a bot not tied to a single platform could give retail traders earlier, lower-cost entries even when narratives change.
SNORT ICO at $3M: status, pricing, and roadmap
As of August 12–13, 2025, Snorter’s presale has exceeded $3 million. The current presale price is $0.1011 (time-limited for the next two days), with most funds allocated to product development and about 20% set aside for marketing. The team is leveraging Pump.fun’s recent rebound data and competition from LetsBonk to argue that a "launchpad-agnostic" tool will stay relevant during the current meme-coin cycle.
Additional background includes Pump.fun’s earlier fundraising event — reportedly $500 million raised in minutes during its July 12 ICO — and ongoing buyback programs. Snorter’s team uses this context to highlight why speed and flexible routing could matter when price discovery accelerates. (These claims come from promotional materials and should be independently verified.)
Live market check for PUMP (and why Gate matters)
For those tracking PUMP alongside SNORT’s developments:
- Spot price: ~$0.0041, up double digits over the past week.
- Where to trade: Gate is one of the most active venues for PUMP/USDT, with deep order books and strong turnover. This is useful for comparing fills between CEX/DEX or hedging exposure.
Gate tip: On fast-moving meme pairs, use limit orders to control slippage. If hedging or arbitraging across venues, keep an eye on funding rates and cross-platform spreads.
How Snorter could change behavior across Pump.fun, LetsBonk, and beyond
If Snorter delivers on speed and filtering:
- New-launch discovery will no longer depend on a single platform — traders follow the alert, not just the brand.
- Early-entry compression: The gap between pool creation and the first liquid trades narrows, reducing the advantage of manual early movers.
- Better survivorship: Tokens with genuine traction may hold value longer as risky contracts are filtered out early through honeypot and MEV checks.
If it underperforms:
- Latency gains that fail to beat existing sniper tools will limit adoption — users will stick to incumbents.
- Marketing-heavy raises without verifiable routing or risk controls could lose user trust if early results don’t show profit improvements.
Key metrics to watch next for PUMP and SNORT
- Pump.fun vs. LetsBonk market share: Will daily token launches and revenue sustain Pump.fun’s rebound or revert back to LetsBonk? Sustained share would support PUMP sentiment.
- SNORT ICO growth and milestones: Will the raise continue smoothly beyond $3M, and will features be delivered on schedule?
- PUMP liquidity on Gate: Monitor spread, depth, and 24h volume for PUMP/USDT; see whether buyback narratives align with lasting order book support rather than short-lived spikes.
Risks and considerations for PUMP and SNORT
- Source bias: Most details on Snorter and some Pump.fun metrics come from promotional materials; they should be verified before relying on them.
- Arms race in latency: If many traders adopt similar bots, competitive advantage may diminish quickly.
- Meme-coin volatility: Launchpad cycles shift rapidly; illiquidity, rug pulls, and MEV risks are inherent. Manage position sizing carefully.
Bottom line
- Pump.fun is back on top by daily activity and revenue metrics, which has coincided with a PUMP price rebound and buyback narratives.
- Snorter aims to be a launchpad-agnostic sniper tool that can follow the action whether Pump.fun or LetsBonk leads — its ICO has surpassed $3M with clear presale pricing steps.
- For execution and tracking, Gate offers active PUMP/USDT markets with strong liquidity, making it a solid venue for trading this narrative.
