What if we put our grudges aside and looked at the facts and data?
The present DefiLlama figures clearly differentiate Pump.fun from Pons and StonkFun.
In the last 30 days: Pump.fun: $3.753B in DEX volume, Pons: $1.592B, StonkFun: $858.33M Pump.fun saw approximately 53% more volume than Pons and StonkFun combined in total. Moreover, directionality of the charts is important. The daily volume of Pump.fun is increasing consistently starting from mid-September, whereas both Pons and StonkFun cooled off after their September peaks. Their fee structures are different, and thus gross fees are not comparable without additional information. Pons generated $97.23M in fees but only received $15.56M in protocol revenue. Pump.fun generated $54.16M in fees and received $38.56M in revenue. Both Pons and StonkFun generated $28.67M in protocol revenues. Not taking brand loyalty into account, Pump.fun currently is the leader in trading volume and has the most impressive momentum. I wanted to ask this question: which of these metrics provides the fairest comparison?
