Solana Developer Needed – Pump.fun Style Platform (Starter Code Available)
 
Hi,
 
I’m reaching out from Valiant Solution LLC. We’re currently working with a U.S.-based client who is an experienced crypto professional and we’re looking for a skilled Solana developer to help build a platform similar to Pump.fun.
 
We already have a basic codebase from GitHub that the developer can start from, so the project will mainly involve customizing, improving, and completing the functionality rather than building everything from scratch.
 
Key requirements:
• Experience with Solana smart contracts (Rust / Anchor)
• Knowledge of token launch mechanics and bonding curves
• Experience with Solana Web3 integrations
• Ability to work with an existing codebase and extend it
 
If this sounds interesting, please reply with:
• Your Solana development experience
• Links to relevant projects or GitHub
• Your availability for a quick discussion
 
Looking forward to connecting.
 
Best regards,
Valiant Solution LLC

Proven track record of growing users and/or trading/activity volume in a startup, Web3, fintech, or SaaS environment
Demonstrated ability to turn social presence into measurable growth
Experience hosting or speaking in Twitter Spaces and similar forums
Strong understanding of growth funnels, activation metrics, and retention loops
Data-driven mindset (comfortable with analytics tools and experimentation)
Bonus Points
Experience in crypto, trading platforms, or financial products
Experience designing referral or incentive systems
Existing relevant audience/network
What We Care About
We don’t care about vanity metrics (likes, impressions).

Conversion
Volume growth
Sustainable acquisition loops
