Pump.fun Launches Creator Fee Sharing, Pivoting Toward Trader-Led Fee Model

The Solana launchpad says last year's tiered fees favored coin creation over trading, prompting a 2026 incentive reset.

Overview

  • Creator Fee Sharing is live, letting teams split fees to up to 10 wallets, transfer token ownership, assign fee percentages after launch, and revoke update authority.
  • Co-founder Alon Cohen returned to X after about two months of silence to outline the overhaul and set out 2026 product priorities.
  • Pump.fun signaled a move away from its Dynamic Fees V1 toward a market-based approach where trader demand determines which narratives warrant creator fees.
  • The team acknowledged prior fee mechanics lacked trust and transparency and said clearer post-launch controls are now available on web and mobile.
  • The PUMP token rose more than 10% following the announcement, though it remains over 73% below its September 2025 peak.
