Overview
- Pump.fun will allow a single post-launch edit to the wallet that collects creator fees, then it locks that setting permanently.
- The update applies to existing coins as well, with active fee setups now frozen to prevent further changes.
- The change targets “vamping,” where a coin admin routes fees to a neutral wallet to gain trust and later redirects the income to their own wallet.
- The announcement drew heavy attention on X and led prominent Solana traders to call on exchanges and tooling providers to adopt matching guardrails.
- Despite adding support for WBTC, USDC, and Ethereum via Wormhole and surpassing 1.5 million app downloads, pump.fun’s fees and trading volumes remain far below 2025 peaks, according to DefiLlama.
