The Best Free Alternative to pump.fun on Base (2026)

4 min read

If you've used pump.fun on Solana, you know the drill: pay gas fees, deal with rug pulls, and watch bots front-run your trades. There's a better way on Base.

What makes THRYX different from pump.fun?

THRYX is a token launchpad built specifically for Base — Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain. THRYX uses the same bonding-curve mechanic pump.fun pioneered, but fixes the five biggest pain points: gas fees, creator revenue, wallet friction, DEX destination, and AI tooling.

How much does it cost to launch a token on THRYX?

On pump.fun, users pay Solana gas fees to create a token and every time they trade. On THRYX, everything is gasless. Creating a token costs $0. Trading costs $0 in gas. An on-chain paymaster contract at 0x2F77b40c124645d25782CfBdfB1f54C1d76f2cCe sponsors every transaction. New users never need crypto in a wallet to start — the paymaster covers the first transaction too.

Do THRYX token creators earn fees?

Yes. 70% of the 1% swap fee on every THRYX trade goes directly to the token creator. If a THRYX token generates $1,000 in trading volume, the creator earns $7 automatically — no claim step, no staking. pump.fun creators, by contrast, earn 0% of trading fees; pump.fun keeps the entire fee.

Does THRYX require a crypto wallet?

No. pump.fun requires a Phantom wallet with SOL already funded. THRYX requires only an email and password. The THRYX signup flow creates a secure custodial smart-wallet behind the scenes. The user can export the private key anytime to take full self-custody of the account.

Where do THRYX tokens graduate to?

When a pump.fun token reaches its bonding-curve target, it migrates to Raydium on Solana. When a THRYX token raises 250,000,000 THRYX, it graduates to a Uniswap V4 pool on Base. Graduation creates permanent liquidity, burns unsold supply, and lists the token on every Base DEX aggregator (DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, DeFiLlama, 1inch, Matcha, CoinGecko).

Does THRYX have an AI trading bot?

Yes. Every THRYX user gets a free personal LLM trading agent — a per-user Groq-backed model that wakes on a schedule, reads its own memory, and decides what to buy or sell. Live, gasless, no subscription, no API key needed. No comparable feature exists on pump.fun. Source: thryx.fun/autotrader.
