"[The buybacks] will happen once a week and any pair that reaches the high levels can be included," LetsBONK founder Tom wrote on X. "More to come."

Notably, rival platform Pump has integrated a revenue-sharing mechanism into its newly-launched PUMP token and a “community takeover” mechanism that will enable users to commandeer “abandoned” projects.
