Pump.fun revamps creator fees as Solana memecoin launches near 30,000 daily

Pump.fun adds creator fee sharing, ownership transfers, and future trader-voted narratives after Solana memecoin launches spike back toward 30,000 in a single day.

Summary

• Pump.fun says its Dynamic Fees V1 boosted builders and on-chain activity but skewed incentives toward low-risk coin deployment instead of higher-risk trading.​
• The update lets teams split creator fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer token ownership, and revoke update authority after launch to formalize revenue sharing.​
• Future iterations will let traders help decide which token narratives earn creator fees, aligning rewards with market demand as Solana memecoin launches hit new highs.​

Pump.fun announced modifications to its creator-fee system as token launches on the platform reached nearly 30,000 in a single day, the highest level since September, according to a statement from the company.

Co-founder Alon Cohen stated that the original Dynamic Fees V1, introduced in September under Project Ascend, successfully attracted new builders and increased on-chain activity but did not sufficiently influence average token deployer behavior. Cohen noted that fees had unintentionally favored low-risk coin creation over high-risk trading, which drives platform engagement, according to the announcement.

The update introduces creator fee sharing, enabling teams to split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership, and revoke update authority. Creators and CTO administrators can now assign specific fee percentages after a token launch, the company said.

The platform plans to implement future iterations that will allow traders to influence whether a token narrative qualifies for creator fees, aligning incentives with market activity rather than deployer decisions alone, according to the statement.

The surge in token launches reflects renewed platform activity, signaling growing interest from the Solana memecoin community, the company reported.

Cohen stated that additional adjustments are planned to balance creator earnings with long-term platform sustainability heading into 2026. The platform’s evolving fee structure aims to maintain growth while encouraging trading activity rather than token deployment alone, as Pump.fun seeks to refine incentives for creators and traders, according to the announcement.
