Pump.fun has launched another new feature—this time, it turns “shilling” into a way to actually earn money as a side hustle.

In short, the platform has introduced a new “Callout Rewards” feature: once a user “tags” or recommends a particular token, if anyone makes trades of that token because of your callout—whether they saw it through push notifications, the feed on the homepage, the token page, or other entry points within the app—then the resulting trading volume will be attributed to you.

Rewards are distributed proportionally based on rankings by daily trading volume. Payouts are automatically settled into accounts every day. There’s no limit on the number of callouts or on earnings. The only requirement is that you must reach at least $1 in cumulative daily settlement (the threshold may be adjusted later).

The logic behind this mechanism is very clear: use UGC recommendations to drive long-tail memecoins, then use real monetary incentives to turn “shill KOLs” into the platform’s performance-based distribution nodes. For regular users, it effectively adds another path for “monetizing content.” For project teams, it means gaining a team of organic promoters that’s paid based on results.

Worth noting: rewards are paid out in the form of tokens. This means participants not only face token price volatility risk, but also have to deal with the reality that long-tail memecoins often have poor liquidity and a high chance of going to zero—whether the earned rewards can be kept is another question.
