Solana-based memecoin launcher Pump.fun introduced a novel open rewards platform where users posted crypto rewards for quirky promotional tasks such as tattooing memecoin stock symbols, quitting their current job live on camera, or parachuting into a World Cup match.
Push-up.fun introduced novel platform on Thursday, positioning it as an open marketplace where you can “realize rewards for ANY task and leverage the power of people and money around the world.” Submissions are reviewed by Pump.fun once funds are in the deposit account. If accepted, the reward will be paid to the submitter.
Pump.fun has stated that rewards that “may be considered spam by X are not allowed” in their Terms and Conditions document.
The highest-paid jobs included a prize of approximately $57,000 for parachuting into a World Cup match wearing a memecoin mascot, generosity for interrogating the family of Henryk Nowak’s killer and $3,000 for quitting his job live in front of the camera.
Some offers reviewed by Cointelegraph offered thousands of dollars for risky or degrading promotional activities, raising questions about moderation, safety and legal exposure
