Pump.fun Pivots to Trader-Led Fees, Unveils Creator Fee Sharing

The change follows the team’s admission that last year’s Dynamic Fees V1 pushed low-risk token creation over real trading.

Overview

  • Creator Fee Sharing lets teams split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer token ownership, revoke update authority, and assign percentages after launch.
  • PUMP climbed roughly 10–11% following the announcement, according to TradingView data reported in coverage.
  • Pump.fun reports surging activity, including nearly 30,000 token launches in a day and a recent single-day trading volume high of $2.03 billion.
  • Future 2026 updates are set to adopt a market-based approach that lets traders determine which narratives warrant creator fee support, with the team stating it will not take creator fees.
  • The company still faces a $500 million lawsuit with a January 23 decision on whether the case proceeds, alongside criticism of high rug-pull rates and large user losses.
