Source: Cointelegraph.com NewsAlon Cohen, co-founder of the Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun, is set to bring back live streaming on the platform \u2014 five months after suspending the feature after several incidents involving harmful content.\u00a0
\nPosting on X on April 4, Cohen said the feature has returned with \u201cindustry standard moderation systems in place and transparent guidelines.\u201d He said it had been rolled out to just 5% of users.\u00a0
\nSource: Alon CohenPump.fun\u2019s website describes the purpose of its new live-streaming moderation policy as being \u201cto cultivate a social environment on pump fun that preserves creativity and freedom of expression and encourages meaningful engagement amongst users, free of illegal, harmful, and negative interactions.\u201d
\nBreaches of the moderation policy could see creators having their livestreams and Pump.fun accounts terminated.\u00a0
\nThe policy prohibits certain types of content, including violence, animal abuse, pornography and youth endangerment. However, it also creates ambiguity by claiming that \u201cpump fun does not intend to universally define what content is \u2018appropriate\u2019 or \u2018inappropriate.\u2019\u201d\u00a0
\n\u201cThere is an implicit assumption that some content \u2014 perhaps much content \u2014 generally defined as NSFW will in fact appear on pump fun,\u201d Pump.fun\u2019s moderation policy states.\u00a0
\nThe platform added it reserves the right to \u201cunilaterally determine the appropriateness of content where necessary and to moderate it accordingly.\u201d
\nLive-streaming return comes as memecoin market crumbles
\nPump.fun removed its live-streaming feature last November after it became awash with extreme content as memecoin creators turned to increasingly shocking tactics to promote their tokens.\u00a0
\nSome users were allegedly threatening violence or self-harm if a token didn\u2019t reach a price goal.
\nThe platform said its unprecedented growth had put a strain on its moderators, and that it would pause the live-streaming functionality indefinitely to ensure the safety of its users \u201cuntil the moderation infrastructure is ready to deal with the heightened levels of activity.\u201d
\nAt the time, Mikko Ohtamaa, co-founder of algorithmic trading firm Trading Strategy, said that if Pump.fun continued to allow live-streaming without appropriate moderation, it would quickly be shut down once a mainstream audience became aware of what was going on.
\n\u201cI advocate for freedom of speech, but these streams are causing practical issues where people are breaking the law in live broadcasts. This will trigger a shutdown when the mainstream media catches a wind on this,\u201d Ohtamaa said.
\nPump.fun\u2019s decision to reintroduce its live-streaming feature comes as interest in memecoins has been down significantly following a series of high-profile rug pulls such as Libra (LIBRA) and Melania Meme (MELANIA). That\u2019s coupled with the poor price performance of tokens like Trump (TRUMP) \u2014 which, according to CoinGecko, is now down over 90% from its January highs.

\nData from Dune Analytics showed in March that the graduation rate for tokens launched on Pump.fun \u2014 that is, the percentage of tokens that achieve a large enough market cap to become tradable on a regular decentralized exchange \u2014 had fallen to under 1%, down from highs of around 1.67%.\u00a0
\nCombined with a sharp drop in the number of tokens being launched on the platform, this has seen the total number of tokens graduating from highs of around 5,400 per week in January to under 1,500 in March.
\nThe number of tokens launched on the Solana network has also fallen dramatically overall. Only 31,651 launched on April 5, according to Solscan, less than one-third of the 95,578 created at the peak of the memecoin frenzy on Jan. 26.
