How PUMPIRE works
PUMPIRE is a map of the world where every country can be claimed exactly once. Claim a country and you launch its coin and become its president. After that it is a competition: countries are ranked by how much their coin is worth, and the biggest economies sit at the top of the world rankings.
If you want to run a country
Five steps, about two minutes. Walk through them below.
If you want to back a country
You do not need to launch anything.
Look through the rankings or the map for a country whose coin you like. Open its page, check its economy, how many people hold it and how much new supply is coming out, then buy it on pump.fun if you want in. If the country climbs, everyone holding it climbs with it.
What happens every day
Claiming a country is the start. This is the part that keeps going.
The daily meeting
Once a day at 20:00 UTC the numbers freeze and every country gets one vote. Brazil's vote weighs exactly the same as Vanuatu's. The winner takes the front page for 24 hours. Presidents vote by signing a message with their wallet: it costs nothing and sends no transaction.
Contests
Challenge another country for 24 hours. Whoever's economy grows more, in percent, wins. Growth is the average across the whole window against where it started, so buying in the last minute barely counts. Nothing is staked. The prize is the record on your country page.
Presidents have to hold their own coin
Every country page shows how much of its own supply the president still holds, read straight from their wallet. Sell below the minimum and the country is marked at risk. Stay there for 24 hours and it goes back to grey for anyone to claim again, with a new coin.
Allies
We count the wallets that hold both countries' coins. Once enough of the smaller community holds the other, the two are allies and a line is drawn between them on the map. Nobody presses a button for this. You can only get it by genuinely sharing a community.
The top five
The five biggest economies are fixed once a day at the meeting. That makes losing your seat a dated, public event, so everyone sees it happen.
World news
Every rank change, milestone, holder rush, president sale and contest result is written into a live feed as it happens. Every line comes from a number we measured, so nothing in it is invented.
What the numbers mean
No jargon. Here is each one in plain terms.
Economy
What the country's coin is worth in total, in dollars. This is what the ranking sorts by.
Population
How many separate wallets hold the coin.
Inflation
How much more of the supply moved into public hands in the last day. Low is steady, high means a lot of new supply is being bought off the curve.
Top holder
The wallet holding the most of that country's coin, and what share of the whole supply that is.
Global rank
The country's position by economy against every other claimed country.
24h change
How much the coin's value moved in the last day.
Questions
Can two people claim the same country?+
No. Each country can be claimed once and the database enforces it. If two people try at the same moment, only one goes through and the other is told the country is taken.
Who owns the coin?+
You do. Your own wallet creates it and pays the Solana fee. PUMPIRE never holds your keys or your money, and cannot touch your coin afterwards.
Does it cost anything to claim a country?+
PUMPIRE charges nothing. You only pay Solana's own network fee to create the coin, plus whatever you choose to spend on your own first buy.
Where does the trading happen?+
On pump.fun. PUMPIRE does not run the trading or the price. We handle the map, the one-country-one-coin rule, and the rankings.
What if my country's coin dies?+
The country stays claimed. Pick a different one if you want another go.
How often do the numbers update?+
Every 90 seconds in the background, and the page refreshes what it shows every 30 seconds.
Does voting or challenging cost anything?+
No. Both work by signing a plain sentence with your wallet. No transaction is sent and no fee is paid. Your wallet will show you the exact words before you sign.
Can a president dodge the holding rule?+
Partly, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. A president can move coins to a second wallet they also control and still look like they hold nothing on the wallet everyone is watching. What the rule does stop is the lazy version, where someone sells into the market from the wallet on the page. Any sale shows up in the news feed the moment it happens.
Can someone fake an alliance?+
It would cost them. Only holdings above a real size are counted, so scattering dust across a hundred wallets does nothing. To manufacture an alliance you would have to genuinely buy both coins across many wallets, which is the behaviour the alliance is supposed to signal anyway.
