Meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has announced the acquisition of trading terminal Vyper, a move aimed at expanding its cross-chain trading capabilities.
Summary
- Pump.fun has acquired Vyper to expand its cross-chain trading terminal, with a focus on improving EVM and Base support.
- Vyper’s team and technology will be integrated into Pump.fun’s Terminal, while the standalone Vyper product will be phased out.
- The deal highlights Pump.fun’s push to evolve from a meme-coin launchpad into a broader trading and infrastructure platform.
The deal was confirmed on February 5, 2026, though financial terms were not publicly disclosed. Vyper’s team and technology will now join Pump.fun’s broader product suite as part of this strategic expansion.
Pump.fun integrates Vyper into its Terminal
Pump.fun is a Solana-originated meme coin launchpad and token creation platform that has grown into one of the most active crypto applications. Since its launch in early 2024, it has allowed users to create and trade tokens without technical expertise and has played a major role in the surge of memecoin activity on Solana.
Under the acquisition plan, Vyper’s infrastructure will be integrated into Pump.fun’s Terminal platform, while the standalone Vyper product will be phased out. The Terminal, previously built after Pump.fun acquired another trading terminal product called Padre, aims to serve as a multi-chain trading hub focused on fast execution and broad market support.
In a post announcing the integration, the Terminal team stated: “EVM support is a core focus for Terminal. With Vyper’s infrastructure & talent, expect trading on EVM (including Base) to massively improve.”
Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen also commented on the deal via social media. He framed the acquisition as part of a broader growth strategy, writing that “despite market conditions, we’re expanding our team rapidly and aggressively,” and highlighted the importance of building “super rapid and efficient cross-chain trading infrastructure.”
For Pump.fun, adding Vyper’s technical expertise strengthens its Terminal offering and helps accelerate its reach into EVM-compatible networks like Base and others. This is crucial for broad cross-chain liquidity and execution quality. For Vyper, integration into a larger ecosystem offers a clearer path for product evolution than remaining a standalone service.
