PumpMarket Debuts Crypto-Native Prediction Market, Starting With Pump.fun Token Graduations

PumpMarket announced the launch of its devnet, introducing the first crypto-native prediction market built specifically around Pump.fun token graduations.
General prediction markets weren't built for crypto-native events like Pump.fun token launches. PumpMarket aims to address that gap by introducing a purpose-built prediction market for on-chain outcomes.

A Focused Market For A Fragmented Ecosystem
General-purpose prediction markets have grown rapidly, but their breadth often comes at the cost of depth. Traders interested in highly specific crypto ecosystems such as Pump.fun are typically forced onto platforms that fragment liquidity and fail to serve the timing, structure, and community dynamics of niche markets.
PumpMarket addresses this gap by creating a dedicated venue where participants interested in Pump.fun outcomes can gather, interact, and concentrate liquidity around a single category of predictions.
Pump.fun token graduations offer a uniquely clean starting point. A graduation is a definitive, verifiable on-chain event, making it well-suited for binary prediction markets that can be resolved transparently and without discretion.

How The Devnet Works
With the devnet now live, users can participate in prediction markets for newly launched Pump.fun tokens by staking SOL on YES or NO graduation outcomes within one-hour windows. No token ownership is required at any point.
PumpMarket uses a parimutuel pool model, where all stakes are pooled together and distributed proportionally among correct predictors once the market resolves. The platform is built entirely on Solana, leveraging the network's speed and low transaction costs to support rapid market creation and settlement.
Furthermore, there are no counterparties or market makers involved. Outcomes are resolved using real-time on-chain data from Bitquery and Helius, verifying whether a token graduates to PumpSwap within the specified timeframe.

Outcome-Based Trading Without Execution Risk
PumpMarket is designed for traders who have strong insight into outcomes but want to avoid the execution challenges of spot markets. On Pump.fun, even correct directional calls can be undermined by poor timing, slippage, or premature exits. PumpMarket removes these variables by allowing users to stake directly on an outcome rather than trade a volatile asset.
Crucially, the platform introduces true two-sided markets. While Pump.fun only allows users to buy tokens, PumpMarket enables participants to profit from the belief that a token will not graduate, opening up bearish expression and more complete price discovery.
Each position carries defined risk, allowing users to commit a fixed stake without absorbing the full price volatility of the underlying token between entry and resolution.

Roadmap & What Comes Next
The devnet launch represents the foundation phase of PumpMarket's rollout, focused on testing core prediction mechanics, parimutuel distribution, and real-time resolution infrastructure. A mainnet launch is planned following this testing period.
Beyond graduations, PumpMarket plans to expand into additional prediction categories for pump.fun tokens, including market capitalization milestones, volume thresholds, and exchange listing outcomes. Over time, the same infrastructure will extend to other token launchpads and ecosystems, with the long-term goal of covering verifiable outcomes across the broader crypto landscape - from protocol events and governance decisions to cross-chain milestones.

About PumpMarket
PumpMarket is a crypto-native prediction market built on Solana, designed to enable outcome-based participation in verifiable on-chain events. The platform allows users to stake SOL on whether newly launched Pump.fun tokens will graduate within a one-hour window, enabling participation without requiring users to hold the underlying token.
Launching with Pump.fun token graduations as its first vertical, PumpMarket allows users to stake on binary outcomes with defined risk, no token custody, and transparent settlement. The platform aims to become the definitive prediction layer for crypto, supporting markets across token performance, protocol events, and ecosystem-level milestones.
The devnet launch marks PumpMarket's first public step toward creating a focused prediction layer for crypto-native events. By starting with Pump.fun graduations, a binary, on-chain outcome, the platform aims to offer traders a cleaner, more capital-efficient alternative to spot trading while unlocking forms of market expression that do not exist on Pump.fun today.
