The most important point from the TG x Alon interview :
Why did Pumpfun acquire KOLscan?
Back in the day, the best traders you know would look up the top wallets on coins like $SHIB, $SAFEMOON, $DOGELON, etc.
They would track those wallets every move, you didn’t want to miss out on what a wallet that went up $20 mil off one trade was doing.
That would inadvertently establish a mental leaderboard of who the best traders were, and therefore who they should listen to.
Then, when KOLscan came out, there was an ACTUAL leaderboard.
A way to see who was the best in the game.
Pumpfun acquiring KOLscan allows them to show normies, the entirety of the game in one place.
The pitch:
- Here’s where you’ll find new coins
- Here’s where you can trade them
- Here’s where you can see who the best traders in the world are and what they’re making on any given day.
They essentially just simplified what was already the world’s most addicting game, and made it easy to play and access from anywhere in the world.
We’ve been talking about mass adoption for so long but this time around, we just might get it.
