Pump.fun, a Solana-based memecoin launchpad, has reclaimed the top spot in 24-hour protocol revenue with about $1.23 million in fees, overtaking Pons, a newer competitor that had briefly led earlier in 2026. Pons gained rapid traction by leveraging Robinhood Chain's low gas fees and offering token creators 70% of trading fees, peaking at over $4 million daily revenue.
