After thorough preparation and effort, Polar Inu successfully launched on PumpFun, emphasizing a community-centric approach.
The launch included an airdrop where initially 43.5 million tokens were planned, but this was reduced to 18 million tokens distributed among up to 30 eligible participants, who were previous holders of the project and early contributors, due to community concerns and consensus. This adjustment led to an additional 25 million $POLAR tokens being allocated to the marketing wallet, supplementing the $15,000 USD already invested in marketing efforts at launch. All up, approximately 5% of the project’s tokens have been allocated to marketing, with currently 3% remaining for future initiatives.
Polar Inu launched with a market cap of $5,000 on PumpFun, with all tokens being bought off the market without any unpaid airdrops.
Leading up to and during the launch, several fake $POLAR tokens emerged, attempting to capture liquidity; one fraudulent token even reached an all-time high of around $75,000. However, the community quickly distinguished the genuine Polar Inu, and the real $POLAR token soon took off.
The legitimacy of our community was underscored by the continuous livestream featuring Polar, our mascot, from the launch until the bonding curve was reached at around $110,000. There were moments when my phone battery died, causing the chart to dip, but it rebounded once the livestream was reconnected, showing the impact of community engagement in such volatile markets. These market swings were intense, ranging from 10–20k, but the community’s euphoria when Polar was back online highlighted the project’s transparency and commitment in a crypto space rife with scams.
Once the bonding curve milestone was achieved, which was weeks ahead of schedule, after updating the decentralized exchange (DEX), investing in DEXScreener ads, and providing a boost, Polar Inu’s market cap soared to $1.3 million, yielding a 260x increase from launch.
However, this unexpected rise meant not enough funds were initially allocated for marketing at the peak. A small amount was withdrawn at the community’s request, but this proved insufficient as the market cap fell back to around $500,000, leading to significantly higher marketing costs.
During the post-launch hype, we experienced significant volatility, dipping to a low of $80,000 before climbing back to just over $400,000 in market cap.
We hovered around $200,000 for some time during which we were voted to #7 on the major trending list, qualifying us for a complete project review for both their audience and our community as viewable here:

At this time, the community was in full force with over 200 votes from the community to qualify us. After this period, we dropped to a new low of $50,000. A reversal then took us between $75,000 and $100,000, and eventually to $180,000 following back-to-back AMAs.
The resilience during these lows has been nothing short of inspiring.
We’ve worked together with the community, tirelessly reorganizing and making our space welcoming for both new and seasoned investors. The dedication to keeping the engagement up across all time zones, even while running on just three hours of sleep, has been the backbone of our project. Many have consistently participated in raids, highlighting an unwavering commitment to our community.
But then came the unexpected challenge when our Telegram group was deleted. We considered several possibilities, but through it all, your commitment to the project never wavered. We quickly set up a new group thanks to your swift action and communication, bouncing back stronger than ever.
We brought in a security expert with your support, investing $300 to protect our community space better. Your trust and proactive approach in this situation were key.
Marketing has been a learning curve; we spent $15,000 post our 260x jump, which included a whale’s contribution of $4,000 on a 500 DexScreener Boost at a $200,000 market cap, alongside a $2,000 volume bot experiment when we hit $90,000. However, we learned the hard way that genuine community interaction trumps all, showing us that our strength truly lies in our organic growth, driven by your passion and engagement.
We hit a tough spot when the market cap fell from $50,000 to $42,000, revealing a weak link in our community.
But then, another whale, who was a familiar face in our voice chats and chats, decided to move on, selling his 6% share. He was kind enough to share his thoughts on leaving, which I truly appreciate for maintaining transparency. This brought us down to around $30,000, but remember, big sell-offs are common in this space. My commitment to Polar Inu hasn’t wavered; I’m holding strong, driven by the hope that with the right treatment for Polar, we’ll exceed what we’ve seen so far.
Now, as we navigate through what’s known as the trenches in crypto, we’re holding strong and laying the groundwork for resurgence. Our current members and the new friends we look forward to welcoming are at the heart of our next big move. Even while managing Polar’s health, we’re planning and preparing for that significant reversal after hitting the bottom, a pattern we’ve seen time and again. The contributions, the belief in Polar Inu, and our shared love for Polar are what make this possible. We’re not just looking to recover; we’re aiming to soar to new heights. Stay with us, because together, the future is bright.
