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. It works similarly to pump.fun (bonding curves, instant trading), but fixes the biggest pain points.
1. Zero Gas Fees — Completely Free to Launch
On pump.fun, you pay Solana gas fees to create a token and every time you trade. On THRYX, everything is gasless. Creating a token costs $0. Trading costs $0 in gas. The platform sponsors all gas costs through an autonomous paymaster system. You never need crypto in your wallet to start.
2. Creators Earn 70% of Trading Fees
This is the biggest difference. On pump.fun, creators earn nothing from trading fees — the platform keeps everything. On THRYX, 70% of the 0.5% trading fee goes directly to the token creator. If your token generates $1,000 in trading volume, you earn $3.50 automatically. No claiming, no staking — it accumulates in your wallet.
3. No Wallet Setup Required
pump.fun requires a Phantom wallet. THRYX requires nothing — sign up with just an email and password. The platform creates a secure wallet for you behind the scenes. You can export your private key anytime if you want full control.
4. Automatic Graduation to Uniswap V4
When a token on pump.fun reaches its bonding curve target, it migrates to Raydium. On THRYX, tokens graduate to Uniswap V4 — the most advanced DEX on Ethereum and Base. Graduation creates permanent liquidity, burns 8% of the supply (boosting price), and lists your token on every DEX aggregator and charting site.
5. Built-in AI AutoTrader
THRYX includes a built-in AutoTrader that scans all tokens, scores them based on momentum, flow signals, and graduation proximity, and trades automatically. Users can run it in paper mode (risk-free practice) or live mode (real ETH). Nothing like this exists on pump.fun.

1. Go to THRYX and click Sign Up. 2. Enter your email and password. 3. Click Launch Token, name your token, and launch. 4. Share your token link — you earn fees from every trade. The entire process takes under 60 seconds.
Is THRYX Safe?
The THRYX smart contract is a Diamond proxy (ERC-2535) verified on Basescan. All trading happens on bonding curves with deterministic pricing — no hidden fees, no admin minting, no back doors. The contract has been audited by multiple AI security specialists and all code is open source.
Base itself is an Ethereum Layer 2 built by Coinbase — the largest regulated crypto exchange in the US. Transactions are secured by Ethereum's validator network.
The Bottom Line
If you're creating meme coins, community tokens, or AI agent tokens, THRYX gives you everything pump.fun does — plus free gas, creator earnings, AI trading, and Uniswap V4 graduation. All on Base, backed by Coinbase.
