Pump.fun adds maker fee sharing, ownership transfers and future merchant-voted stories after Solana memecoin launches soar towards 30,000 in a single day.
Summary
- Pump.fun says the Dynamic Fees V1 incentivized builders and on-chain activity, but skewed incentives toward low-risk coin stakes rather than higher-risk trading.
- The update will allow teams to split creator fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer ownership of tokens, and revoke post-launch update permission to formalize revenue sharing.
- Future iterations will help traders decide which token stories deserve creator fees, aligning rewards with market demand as the Solana memecoin launch reaches new highs.
Pump.fun announced changes to its creator fee system as the number of 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 impact the average behavior of token implementers. Cohen noted that the fees had inadvertently favored low-risk coin creation over high-risk trading, which the announcement said drives platform engagement.
The update introduces creator fee sharing, allowing teams to split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer ownership of coins, and revoke update privileges. Creators and CTO administrators can now assign specific reimbursement rates following a token launch, the company said.
The platform plans to implement future iterations that will allow traders to influence whether a token story qualifies for maker fees, aligning incentives with market activity rather than just implementation decisions, the statement said.
The increase in token launches reflects renewed platform activity, indicating growing interest from the Solana memecoin community, the company reported.
Cohen stated that additional adjustments are planned to balance creator revenue with the long-term sustainability of the platform toward 2026. The platform’s evolving fee structure aims to maintain growth while encouraging trading activity rather than just token stakes as Pump.fun looks to refine incentives for creators and traders, the announcement said.
