Data compiled by Woofun AI shows that Pump.fun’s new 'GO' bounty feature has disbursed more than $370,000 in cryptocurrency since its June 4 launch on the Solana network. The platform operates as an escrow-based marketplace where users post tasks for digital rewards, with over 270 active bounties currently offering payouts ranging from $5 to substantial sums. While some listings involve charitable acts, others have prompted severe backlash for encouraging hazardous or humiliating behavior, including forehead tattoos and extreme physical challenges.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul has publicly condemned the platform, signaling support for legislation to ban such activities, while X product head Nikita Bier criticized the feature for incentivizing shameful conduct. Despite warnings that participants engage at their own risk, the controversy echoes earlier moderation issues with Pump.fun’s livestreaming tool, which was previously suspended for similar content violations. With over $200,000 in remaining rewards, the platform continues to draw attention amidst growing regulatory and ethical scrutiny.
