Curve Finance founder calls Pump.fun a casino for scam memecoins

Curve Finance founder Michael Egorov criticized Solana-based memecoin issuance platform Pump.fun (PUMP) as a casino that brings together scam memecoins. In a post on X, Egorov said the Solana Foundation does a strong job supporting its ecosystem, but its flagship examples do not seem particularly compelling. Egorov added that connecting Phantom, Solana’s largest wallet, to a hardware wallet was very difficult and that, although the connection ultimately worked, the user experience was far worse than MetaMask.
