Why is it for sale?

PumpFun's Instagram is gone

Bandit reports that the old account, @pumpdotfun_, was removed, and that pump.fun took the Instagram link off its website.

Alon is hiring for socials

Bandit says his latest post asks for someone to run them, Instagram included.

Normies find a raccoon

Search PumpFun on Instagram and the clean handle belongs to Bandit. That looks bad for PumpFun.

What names have sold for

A domain is an address. A handle is the face of the brand, on every post and every tag.

These are record sales from other markets, not a valuation of @pumpfun.

  • voice.comDomain, 2019$30,000,000
  • nfts.comDomain, 2022$15,000,000
  • fb.comDomain, 2010$8,500,000
  • @newsTelegram handle, 2022about $1,700,000

100% of the sale goes to the top 50 $AUCTION holders.

Pump.fun said "airdrop coming soon" in July 2025. A year later the main airdrop still hadn't happened. So $AUCTION will do one.

When the handle sells, the whole winning bid is airdropped to the 50 largest $AUCTION wallets. Snapshot details will be posted on X before the auction closes.

How bidding works

  1. Connect a Solana wallet.
  2. Add a name if you want one shown, then enter a bid higher than the current one.
  3. Pay the 0.5 SOL bid fee. It stops fake and spam bids, and it is not refunded.
  4. The highest bid when the timer ends wins. The winner pays Bandit and gets the account.

Instagram doesn't allow account sales, and Meta can take the handle back at any time.

New here? The story so far

PumpFun's Instagram was @pumpdotfun_, so Bandit the raccoon took the clean handle, @pumpfun, hostage. He launched the $BANDIT coin and told Alon he gets the handle back for free if the coin reaches a $10M market cap.

Now the handle is up for auction. The first chapter is at istolepumpfun.com.

Disclaimer

@a1lon9, you can still have it for free.

Promise to make Bandit the marketing employee of the @pumpfun Instagram account, as its AI employee and influencer, and he hands it over.

If that happens, the auction ends with no sale and no airdrop.
