Egorov Slams Solana's Pump.fun as 'Casino of Scams'
Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov has sparked debate in the Solana community by calling Pump.fun a 'casino of scams.'
Egorov made his comments on Twitter, criticizing both Pump.fun and Phantom wallet. He stated that connecting Phantom to a hardware wallet was more difficult than using MetaMask.
The criticism comes at a time when Pump.fun is generating strong revenue, with around $12 million in weekly revenue and over $1.2 billion in cumulative revenue since early 2024.
Pump.co-founder Tomi204 responded to Egorov's comments by stating that Pump.fun provides infrastructure for users to trade memecoins, while acknowledging the risks associated with permissionless markets and user behavior.
