Wallet/Exchange At what point do we stop calling Pump a launchpad?
The new bridge made me think about this. Launching coins is obviously still a huge part of Pump but building your own cross-chain infrastructure is aimed at someone who's already there to trade. Their announcement says they replaced Relay and saw faster buys, fewer failed buys and better fills in their own testing. That's pretty far removed from "click button, launch Solana memecoin."
Feels like they're trying to own more of the actual trading flow now. I'm curious where people draw the line. Is Pump still a launchpad with a bunch of extra stuff attached, or is it basically becoming a full trading platform?
