what's pumpcade?
Pumpcade is a crypto project built on the Pump.fun platform on Solana, functioning as an autonomous arcade integrated into live streams. It allows users to play games, bet $PUMPCADE tokens against others via a custom chat-controlled wallet, and win jackpots. The project features deflationary mechanics through fee burns, mini-apps for scalability, and aims to create a casino-like experience within Pump.fun streams. Developed by @PopPunkOnChain, it emphasizes innovative wallet integration and real-time betting for enhanced user engagement.
