Pump.fun's graduation rate reached 6.7% last Friday, roughly 8x higher than the average throughout June.
This spike wasn’t a blip either, as it averaged 4.7% across the previous four days, against 2.5% the week before.
This recent increase in Pump.fun’s graduation rate lined up directly with BOOST, its new default launch mechanism that directly incentivizes higher graduation rates.
BOOST targets what Pump.fun calls "dead liquidity," i.e., the roughly 20% of migration liquidity that was previously locked permanently inside the PumpSwap pool upon graduation.
With the new BOOST update, that capital now gets deployed into a series of automatic market buys during the first five minutes after migration, with every token acquired burned afterwards.
