(PUMP)

PUMP is a digital asset that goes by this ticker on exchanges and trackers — in most cases it's the ticker, not a big brand name, that identifies it. The key thing to know is that tickers aren't unique: more than one project can trade as 'PUMP', so the only reliable way to tell them apart is the contract address on the specific blockchain.

Tokens like PUMP usually don't run their own blockchain — they're issued on an existing network such as Ethereum, Solana, or BNB Chain. Security, transaction processing, and consensus are therefore handled by the host chain, while the token itself is essentially a smart contract: a set of on-chain rules that tracks balances and transfers.

Supply is defined by the project's tokenomics — rules written at launch that set the maximum supply, the schedule for releasing new tokens, and how they're split between the team, community, and early investors. These rules live in the official documentation and in the smart contract itself, so you can verify them on-chain instead of trusting marketing claims.

You keep PUMP in a wallet that supports the blockchain the token lives on — for example, MetaMask for Ethereum-based tokens or Phantom for Solana. Your seed phrase is the only way to recover the wallet, so store it offline and never share it; as for usage, tokens like this are typically transferred, traded, or held, and any extra utility depends on what the specific project offers.
