Overview
- Co-founder Alon Cohen resurfaced on X after roughly two months to outline 2026 upgrades that realign incentives on the Solana-based launchpad.
- Pump.fun launched Creator Fee Sharing, letting teams split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership, revoke update authority, and set post‑launch fee percentages via web and mobile tools.
- Dynamic Fees V1, introduced under Project Ascend, is being phased out after the team concluded it encouraged token issuance over the trading that sustains liquidity and price discovery.
- Under the upcoming market-based framework, fee distribution becomes optional and community-driven, with creators assigning percentages in-app and the core team taking no share; a detailed rollout timeline has not been provided.
- $PUMP gained about 10–11% on the news yet remains well below its September 2025 peak, and some outlets report renewed community speculation about a previously hinted airdrop.
