Integration of Kolscan and New Opportunities for Users
Kolscan is an application that allows users to track the activities of top on-chain traders, including data on their transactions, profits and losses (PnL), address positions, and profitability leaderboards. According to the developers, all Kolscan services will become free for users of the pump.fun platform after integration. The team also plans to enhance the existing features of the service.
“Despite being a highly competitive field, @0xbor has managed to create a product that tens of thousands of the most dedicated traders in this space use daily. This speaks to the product itself and its understanding of the market,” said Cohen.
Development Strategy and Plans for the Pump.fun Platform
Co-founder Alon Cohen emphasized that the deal aligns perfectly with pump.fun’s philosophy, which views crypto trading as a “social sport.” Therefore, the team intends to enhance gaming mechanics in trading, make copy trading more user-friendly for interactions between users, and improve leaderboards to counter manipulation, prioritizing real traders.
The integration of Kolscan is happening alongside the launch of new features on pump.fun, including live broadcasts, a rewards system for token holders, and the ability to customize user profiles. The team has openly stated its goal to create a “social crypto media hub scalable to millions of users.”
The acquisition of Kolscan strengthens pump.fun’s position ahead of the launch of its own token. During the token sale on July 12, 2025, 33% of the total issuance of 1 billion PUMP will be offered.
