pump.fun Introduces 50% Revenue Sharing for Token Creators
On May 12, memecoin launchpad Pump.fun unveiled a groundbreaking revenue-sharing plan.This move aims to solidify its position as the leading platform for launching memecoins.
Under the new model, creators will receive 50% of all trading fees for their tokens. For instance,if a token reaches $10 million in trading volume,creators will earn $5,000. This is a important change, as creators previously only earned when they sold their tokens.
Revenue sharing applies to new tokens, those on the bonding curve, and those that have moved to pumpswap, Pump.fun’s decentralized exchange.Traders can claim their earnings instantly using their Pump.fun profile.
can this fix the issue of token dumps? Historically, creators had an incentive to dump their tokens quickly, leading to rug pulls.The new system encourages creators to stay involved and boost the token’s value over time.
Pump.fun is the largest memecoin launchpad and a top Solana protocol. As of May 7, it had processed $22.3 billion in volume in 2025, representing 2.8% of all Solana protocol volume. In November 2024, it accounted for 62% of Solana transactions.
By sharing revenue, Pump.fun hopes to foster a healthier ecosystem and maintain its dominance in the memecoin space.
