PumpMarket introduces prediction markets to the Pump.Fun open hackathon

Based on Solana, the native crypto prediction market PumpMarket has launched on the mainnet and introduced the “Graduation Market” feature—users can stake SOL tokens to predict whether Pump.fun’s new tokens will “graduate” from their binding curve within an hour. In the first 48 hours after launch, the platform completed 63 market trades, with a total trading volume of 66 SOL, and settled over 150 predictions. PumpMarket received $3 million in funding from the Pump.fun “Public Build” hackathon, becoming the second project after zauth to receive a $250,000 grant. Its reciprocal model pools all staked tokens and distributes rewards proportionally based on objective on-chain settlement results—verified through Bitquery, Helius, and Birdeye. The co-founders emphasize achieving product-market fit through practical use, transparent development, and organic growth rather than relying on incentives. The platform plans to expand to include decline markets, market cap milestones, trading volume thresholds, and exchange listings—all tied to verifiable on-chain events.
