Pump fun’s bounty feature pays out over $370,000
Pump fun’s new crypto bounty feature has drawn criticism for its humiliating and risky stunts.
The feature, launched on June 4, has paid out more than $370,000, with around 270 open bounties still offering over $200,000 in rewards.
Some tasks reportedly involve forehead tattoos, putting one’s face in a toilet, quitting a job on camera, and even climbing Mount Everest. One man in the Philippines earned $15,000 in crypto for tattooing ‘bounty fun’ on his forehead.
The feature has also drawn criticism from high-profile figures, including New York Governor Kathy Hochul and X head of product Nikita Bier.
