Solana-based memecoin launchpad Pump.fun has rolled out a new creator revenue‑sharing program that allocates 50% of PumpSwap trading revenue to token creators, paid out as 0.05% of each trade’s volume in SOL for their own token. This revenue share applies across the token’s full lifecycle: newly launched coins, tokens still trading on Pump.fun’s bonding curve, and those that have “graduated” to the PumpSwap decentralized exchange. Creators’ earnings accrue on‑chain and can be claimed at any time via the Pump.fun creator dashboard. The model effectively routes a portion of platform fees back to project creators, turning trading activity into a recurring income stream rather than a one‑time launch event. By tying rewards directly to ongoing trading volume, Pump.fun is trying to shift incentives away from quick “launch and dump” behavior and toward longer‑term engagement, community building, and more sustainable token designs. This move comes amid intensifying competition among Solana memecoin launchpads and follows Pump.fun’s broader pivot from pure fee extraction toward injecting value back into its ecosystem via creator fees and other revenue‑sharing mechanisms.
