Pump.fun Rolls Out Creator Fee Sharing, Pivots Toward Trader-Set Fees

The Solana launchpad says the shift will correct incentives that favored mass token issuance over liquidity.

Overview

  • Co-founder Alon Cohen ended a roughly 65-day silence to announce 2026 upgrades that recenter the platform on trading activity.
  • Creator Fee Sharing is live, letting teams split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer token ownership, revoke update authority, and set fee percentages after launch.
  • The team signaled a market-based model next, where traders decide whether a project narrative warrants creator fees, with no detailed rollout timeline provided.
  • PUMP gained about 10–11% following the announcements, according to TradingView data reported by multiple outlets.
  • Earlier Dynamic Fees V1 boosted launches, including a recent day with nearly 30,000 new tokens, but was blamed for thin liquidity and weak price discovery.
