Summary
- Pump.fun's GO platform allows users to pay others for completing "ANY task," resulting in hundreds of bounties within hours of its launch.
- While some bounties promised rewards up to $50,000, the actual payouts have generally been much lower.
- Noteworthy tasks included requests for interviews with murderers' relatives, public stunts, and getting tattoos in exchange for crypto rewards.
Pump.fun has introduced a platform that incentivizes users to undertake a wide range of tasks, leading to some very unconventional requests.
On Thursday, the Solana meme coin launchpad GO debuted, promoting the slogan "Pay ANYONE to do ANYTHING." Within hours, numerous tasks were posted, including a notable one offering approximately $2,650 for someone to get a token's ticker tattooed on their forehead.
"Humans & money are undeniably the most powerful tools on Earth," stated Pump.fun in a tweet. "We’re merging both with GO: a comprehensive bounty platform where ANYONE can create or fulfill bounties for ANY task with UNLIMITED rewards."

Users can link their X account and wallet, submit tasks, and place rewards in escrow starting at $5, while Pump.fun evaluates submissions to determine payouts.
As of now, GO features 234 active bounties, 494 submissions, and a $118,000 pool of unclaimed rewards.
Open to Anything
The largest rewards on the platform remain unclaimed.
Previously, the highest-paying bounty offered up to $50,000 for a participant to skydive into a World Cup event while dressed as a meme coin mascot, requiring footage "verified through any media agency" and stipulating that the video "cannot be AI-generated." However, this listing has since been removed, with the site indicating that "This bounty has vanished. It may have been closed, removed by a moderator, or never published."
The top remaining bounty, valued at around $23,525, asked for an interview with a family member of the individual responsible for Henry Nowak's death or the lead investigator of the case, requiring at least two minutes of unedited video and emphasizing that "the more viral the interview, the better."
Other bounties included $15,204 for breaking a world record, $12,199 to organize a "NEET March" in New York City, $11,034 to assist a token in winning Pump.fun's hackathon, $3,989 for a "best butt contest," and $9,103 for an "Interview a Billionaire On Biological Intelligence."
As users scroll through the listings, many tasks become increasingly bizarre and, in some cases, dangerous.
Bounties requested individuals to ignite a branded vehicle, streak at an NBA Finals game, fart through a megaphone during a lecture, pour milk over themselves, distribute 100 jars of pineapple Kool-Aid to homeless individuals, engage Elon Musk on X concerning a token, and bail someone out of jail.
One participant in the approximately $2,876 "Quit Your Job on Camera" bounty streamed his attempt on Kick and claimed he was terminated from another job during the process, stating, "This was worth it for the sol."
Despite the excitement, actual earnings have been limited. Since the platform's inception, the highest payout received by a user was $487.11, followed by amounts of $346.72 and $275.49.
The top spender has contributed $1,707 across 11 different bounties.
Concerns Over Safety
According to Musheer Ahmed, founder and managing director of Finstep Asia, the escrow and moderation system employed by Pump.fun might not effectively prevent harmful bounties from being listed.
"While escrow systems can be effective, when combined with moderation, it is likely that this is an automated process," he explained. He noted that such systems have not been entirely successful on platforms like Instagram and X, and creators can coordinate with users outside the platform as well.
Ahmed remarked, "It appears that pump.fun is trying to retain users and attract those unfamiliar with crypto," comparing it to task-driven creators like MrBeast, emphasizing that it doesn't significantly relate to “tokens, NFTs, and crypto in general."
History Repeats Itself
The launch of GO solidifies a pay-for-stunts model that has previously led to dangerous situations on Pump.fun.
The launchpad suspended its livestreaming feature in 2024 after facing controversial streams involving animal cruelty, self-harm, and a staged suicide.
Pump.fun reintroduced its livestreaming service at the beginning of 2025 with enhanced moderation, then shifted its focus to "creator capital markets,” combining viral stunts with tradeable tokens.
Pump.fun did not provide a comment regarding these developments.
