Flap Overtakes Pump.fun in Daily Revenue With $1.18 Million

Flap, a BNB Chain token launchpad, generated $1.18 million in revenue on Aug. 1, passing Pump.fun in daily revenue for the first time, according to DefiLlama.

Flap earned $1,183,980 on Aug. 1, edging out $1,103,266 for the entire Pump family — the pump.fun launchpad plus its PumpSwap AMM and trading terminal — per DefiLlama's parent-protocol data.

The flip came during a strong stretch for Pump, which had earned between $1.3 million and $1.44 million a day from July 27 through July 31.

Flap's run-up was steep: the platform made $28,343 on July 19, then climbed through $541,637 on July 30 and $663,511 on July 31 before the Aug. 1 spike, a roughly 40x jump in two weeks. Essentially all of it came from BNB Chain, which accounted for $1.18 million of the Aug. 1 total, with small contributions from Robinhood Chain and X Layer.

The surge coincided with the relaunch on Flap of 币安人生 ("Binance Life"), the memecoin that surged more than 3,000% on Four.Meme last October after Binance co-founder Yi He posted the phrase on X. Its original developers redeployed the token on Flap with a new contract in late July, per CoinMarketCap.

Four.Meme, another BNB Chain launchpad, briefly flipped Pump.fun in October 2025, and Flap has since absorbed nearly all of that chain's launch flow while Four.Meme's revenue has collapsed to about $17,000 a day.

Pump.fun Still Bigger

Over any longer window, Pump remains dominant. The Pump family earned $31.4 million over the past 30 days against Flap's $4.42 million, and its $1.22 billion in lifetime revenue — including more than $1 billion from the pump.fun launchpad alone — dwarfs Flap's $52.3 million, per DefiLlama. Pump.fun's PUMP token traded at $0.0022 on Aug. 3, down about 75% from its September 2025 high, per CoinGecko.

Flap launched in June 2024 and describes itself as a programmable token launchpad, born out of an ETHGlobal hackathon win. Unlike Pump.fun's flat-fee model, Flap lets creators launch tax tokens with trading taxes of 1% to 10%, routed to community incentives, treasuries or marketing. DefiLlama counts only Flap's bonding-curve fees as revenue, excluding token taxes.

Tax Token Risks

Trading tool GMGN warned that some tokens launched on Flap carry dynamic tax-rate risk, with sell taxes configurable up to 100% — making them effectively unsellable, per PANews.
