Simply put
- Pump.fun’s GO platform allows users to pay others to complete “any task,” and hundreds of bounties appeared within hours of launch.
- Although rewards have reached up to $50,000, actual payouts on the platform have so far been much smaller.
- Some of the high-profile listings asked for interviews with the killer’s relatives, public stunts, and permanent tattoos in exchange for cryptocurrency rewards.
Pump.fun now pays you to do almost anything, and people are already lining up to do the weirdest things possible.
On Thursday, Solana Memecoin Launchpad launched GO, a bounty platform built around the slogan “Pay anyone to do anything,” and within hours users had posted hundreds of tasks. Among them was one offering about $2,650 to someone who would get a token ticker tattoo on their “forehead.”
“Humans and money are arguably the most powerful tools on earth,” Pump.fun tweeted. “We’re combining both with GO, a comprehensive bounty platform where anyone can create or complete bounties for any task and earn unlimited rewards.”

Users connect their X account and wallet, post tasks, and lock their rewards in escrow starting at $5. Pump.fun, on the other hand, reviews submissions and makes payment decisions.
As of this writing, GO has 234 live bounties, 494 submissions, and an unclaimed pool of $118,000 listed.
Anything goes
The biggest rewards have not yet been received on the platform.
The highest ever reward offered up to $50,000 to someone who skydived into a World Cup game while wearing a Memecoin mascot costume, required the footage to be “verified through a media outlet,” and specified that the footage was “not AI.”
However, as of this writing, the listing was gone, with the site stating, “This bounty has disappeared. It may have been shut down, removed by moderators, or never published.”
The top remaining list, valued at about $23,525, called for interviews with either the family of the person responsible for Henry Nowak’s death or the lead police officer in the case, requested at least two minutes of unedited footage, and said, “The more viral the interview, the better.”
Underneath was $15,204 to break a running world record, $12,199 to organize a “NEET March” through New York City, $11,034 to help a token win at Pump.fun’s own hackathon, $3,989 to host a “Best Butt Contest” and $9,103 to “Interview a Billionaire on Biological Intelligence.”
As you move further down, the tasks get weirder and sometimes more risky.
Bounties asked people to set fire to a branded car, win consecutive NBA Finals games, fart into a megaphone during a speech, pour milk on themselves, hand out 100 bottles of pineapple Kool-Aid to homeless people, get Elon Musk to issue tokens related to X, and bail someone out of jail.
One participant in the approximately $2,876 “Quit Your Job on Camera” bounty livestreamed the attempt on Kick, saying he was fired from another job in the process, and wrote, “This was worth it for Sol.”
Real money is thin. Since the launch, the top earner has collected $487.11 in a single payment, followed by wallets that have earned $346.72 and $275.49.
Meanwhile, the biggest spender paid out $1,707 across 11 incentives.
Takeover drama
Pump.fun’s escrow and moderation settings may not be enough to keep harmful bounties off the platform, said Musheer Ahmed, founder and managing director of Finstep Asia decryption.
“Escrow systems can work, but when combined with moderation, this is likely to be an automated process,” he said, adding that such systems have not proven effective enough on platforms like Instagram and X, and that creators can make payments and arrangements with users outside of the platform in any case.
“It feels like an attempt by pump.fun to retain users and attract non-crypto native users,” he said, comparing it to task-based creators like MrBeast, noting that it doesn’t actually have much to do with “tokens, NFTs, or cryptocurrencies in general.”
we’ve been here before
GO has officially instituted pay incentives for stunts that have repeatedly become dangerous at Pump.fun.
Launchpad discontinued its live streaming feature in 2024 after being inundated with controversial streams involving animal abuse, self-harm, and faked suicide.
Pump.fun brought back livestreaming in early 2025 with new moderations, then pivoted to a “Creator Capital Market” that combines viral stunts with tradable tokens.
Pump.fun did not respond to requests for comment.
