Pump.fun's Dominance on Solana Network

Pump.fun, a popular meme coin launchpad, accounted for approximately 70% of token launches on the Solana network over the weekend. This dominance highlights its ability to simplify token creation, attracting users with minimal technical expertise. The platform has become a key player in Solana's ecosystem, with over 5.5 million tokens created in its first year.
