How Pump.tires Brought PulseChain.com Back to Life (And How Your Chain Can Too)
Let’s rewind to 2023.
PulseChain, a promising Ethereum fork, launched with big dreams:
Faster transactions
Lower fees
A vibrant ecosystem
But by late 2024, it was on life support.
Fees (24h): Just $48,370
Price: $0.00003582 (down 89% from its 2023 peak)
Volume (24h): A measly $18K
Critics called it a “ghost chain.”
Developers avoided it
Then, in early 2025, everything changed.
A meme-powered app called pump.tires lit the fuse.
Here’s how it happened — and how you can copy this playbook to revive your own blockchain.
The Pump.tires Effect on Pulsechain.com
Pump.tires — a clone of Solana’s viral Pump.fun platform — launched on PulseChain.
Suddenly, users could create and trade meme coins in seconds.
Here’s how it revived the chain:
1. The Buy-and-Burn Engine
Every meme coin transaction on Pump.tires burns 1% of the chain’s native token, PLS.
This simple rule did two things:
Reduced Supply: Over 200 million PLS were burned in March 2025 alone, creating scarcity.
Price Stability: PLS surged 48% from its 2025 low, with a market cap hitting $505 million.
2. Liquidity Explosion
New meme coins like $PUMP funneled liquidity back into PulseChain’s ecosystem:
PulseX (PulseChain’s DEX) saw daily volume jump from 18K to 282K.
The PUMP/WPLS liquidity pool grew to $8.5M, attracting traders from Solana and Base.
3. Viral Community Growth
PulseChain’s social channels exploded:
Discord members tripled.
Developers began building apps like fiat on-ramps and prepaid crypto cards to support new users.
Suddenly, PulseChain wasn’t a ghost town anymore.
Why Meme Coins Are the Ultimate Lifeline?
PulseChain.com isn’t unique.
Chains like Solana and Base have ridden meme frenzies to success. here are few launchpads:
Here’s why this strategy works:
But there’s a catch: “meme coins are volatile.”
Pump.tires faced accusations of being a “scammer’s playground.”
Yet, PulseChain’s team leaned into the chaos, using the influx to fund long-term tools like stablecoin bridges and governance upgrades.
The Dark Days Before the Meme Wave
Before Pump.tires, PulseChain’s problems ran deep:
Stagnant Development: Only 12 dApps were live by late 2024.
Token Confusion: Users struggled to differentiate PLS, PLSX, and other ecosystem tokens.
Regulatory Fear: The SEC’s lawsuit against founder Richard Heart scared away institutional players.
Pump.tires didn’t fix these issues overnight.
But it bought PulseChain time — and attention — to rebuild.
How Your Chain Can Replicate This Success
If your Ethereum Layer 2 (EVM chain) or non-EVM Chain is struggling, here’s a roadmap:
1. Deploy a Meme Coin Factory
Use a pre-built solution like Pump.fun clone to launch quickly.
Key features:
Token creation in <60 seconds.
Built-in buy-and-burn mechanics for your native token.
Liquidity auto-staking into your DEX.
2. Fuel the Hype Cycle
Partner with influencers to host meme contests.
Airdrop rewards to early adopters.
Share success stories (e.g., “This trader turned 100 into 50K”).
3. Convert Hype into Infrastructure
PulseChain used meme-driven fees to fund:
PulseX V2: A faster DEX with concentrated liquidity.
StableSwap: Low-slippage stablecoin trading.
The Risks (And How to Mitigate Them)
Meme coins are risky, but smart chains plan for it:
Rug Pulls: Audit meme projects or flag unaudited tokens.
Volatility: Use a portion of fees to stabilize your native token’s price.
Reputation Damage: Balance memes with “serious” projects (DeFi, NFTs, RWA).
PulseChain’s revival wasn’t just luck — it was strategy.
The Future of PulseChain (And Lessons for You)
Today, PulseChain is a case study in community-driven revival.
Analysts compare its trajectory to Solana’s 2023 rebound, fueled by BONK and Dogwifhat.
