May 8 — PFund, a Meme coin launch platform built on BNB Chain, announced it has completed internal testing and officially rolled out its public beta. Per official details, PFund has launched a principal protection mechanism by rebuilding its underlying protocol: user funds are intelligently split between an AMM liquidity pool and a reserve fund pool. While preserving Meme coins’ high-yield potential, the platform uses a mathematical algorithm to add a safety buffer for funds, aiming to tackle the long-running “Rug Pull” risk that has plagued Meme coins. Additionally, PFund has deeply integrated features including interest-free, non-liquidation loans, a progressive tax structure, and a points splitting engine. The platform prioritizes risk mitigation while targeting high-yield returns, and delivers dividends via automatic compounding.
