Pump.fun, the Solana-native memecoin launchpad that became synonymous with degen token launches, has quietly pulled off something more ambitious than another dog coin. The platform now routes trades directly to Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum-based Layer 2, without requiring users to bridge assets or manage gas fees on the destination chain.

The first major beneficiary of this integration: a memecoin called CASHCAT, which has ripped approximately 900% in a week and pushed its market cap past $100 million.

How the plumbing works

Users pay in SOL. That’s it. The platform handles all the backend complexity, covering gas fees on the destination chain and abstracting away the multi-chain headache. SOL effectively becomes a universal currency across Pump.fun’s supported EVM chains.
