Pump's new "Mayhem Mode" failed to increase token issuance or platform revenue in its first week of launch

Last week, Pump.fun launched "Mayhem Mode", an optional token creation setup. Within the first 24 hours after the token goes live, an autonomous AI trading agent will buy and sell new coins. This feature mints an additional 1 billion tokens for the broker to trade, and unused tokens will be destroyed after 24 hours. It is worth noting that the broker has a limited transaction size and frequency, and will not pay any protocol fees.
In this context, "Mayhem Mode" is designed to facilitate early price discovery, allowing more new coins to gain attention more quickly. Since the issuance process has not changed, the expected increase is mainly reflected in the exposure of the token. However, this feature may be seen as similar to "buy and sell" behavior, as a single entity with positive effects artificially increases the trading activity level. However, factors such as public disclosure, voluntary user enablement, and non-payment of agreement fees by agents bring it closer to the platform-provided mechanism for guiding liquidity or market making.
If Pump combines Mayhem with a stronger content screening and ranking system, this extra first-day trading activity level could increase the probability of some tokens "exploding". But without these complementary measures, Mayhem could be reduced to a "high-noise, low-yield" feature.
