Pump.fun acquires Vyper to expand cross-chain trading terminal

Leading Solana token launchpad, Pump.fun, announced today the successful acquisition of Vyper, a cutting-edge decentralized protocol specializing in cross-chain routing and liquidity aggregation. This strategic move signals Pump.fun’s ambitious expansion beyond its Solana roots, aiming to transform the platform from a single-chain launch mechanism into a comprehensive, multi-chain trading terminal.

Pump.fun has rapidly grown into the dominant platform for memecoin creation and grassroots token launches within the Solana ecosystem, facilitating billions in trading volume monthly. However, recognizing the fragmented nature of decentralized finance (DeFi), the company identified the need to integrate cross-chain capabilities to capture liquidity from larger ecosystems.

Vyper is highly regarded for its robust, secure bridging technology, enabling seamless asset transfer and atomic swaps across major EVM chains (like Ethereum and Polygon) as well as other non-EVM environments. The integration of Vyper’s proprietary technology stack will introduce native cross-chain liquidity pools and unified order books directly into the Pump.fun user interface.

“The future of DeFi is interoperability, not isolation,” stated a company spokesperson. “By integrating Vyper, we are enabling our user base—which is constantly launching innovative tokens—to instantly access liquidity on Ethereum, Base, and other networks without the complex manual bridging steps. This acquisition fast-tracks our vision of creating a truly universal launch and trading hub.”

The immediate impact of the merger will focus on enabling newly launched tokens on Pump.fun to be deployed simultaneously across up to five different blockchains via a single interface. Beta testing for the new cross-chain trading pairs is scheduled for the fourth quarter, with full universal deployment expected early next year. This integration positions Pump.fun to become a major competitor against established cross-chain DEX aggregators and centralized exchanges that currently dominate multi-chain liquidity.
