Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has launched GO, a bounty marketplace where users can post tasks with crypto rewards. The platform saw over 230 active bounties and $100,000 in unclaimed rewards within hours.
The most notable bounty: roughly $57,000 for someone to skydive into a 2026 World Cup match dressed as a memecoin mascot. Other tasks include getting ticker symbols tattooed on a forehead, quitting a job on livestream, and setting a vehicle on fire.
GO operates as an open marketplace where users connect X accounts and crypto wallets. Bounty funds go into escrow; after a user completes the task and submits proof, Pump.fun reviews and releases payment if accepted.
Pump.fun faced backlash in 2024-2025 over its livestream feature, which encouraged extreme on-camera behavior. GO formalizes these incentives with explicit dollar-denominated rewards, though the review process focuses on task completion-not screening out dangerous activities.
Founded by Noah Tweedale, Alon Cohen, and Dylan Kerler in January 2024, Pump.fun drove Solana's memecoin boom with low-friction token creation. For Solana, increased activity on Pump.fun means more transactions and network fees.
