New Features for Token Creators
Pump.fun has introduced significant updates to its creator fee system, coinciding with a dramatic resurgence in Solana memecoin launches. The platform reported that token launches on Pump.fun reached nearly 30,000 in a single day, a level not seen since September, highlighting a renewed surge in activity.
According to a company statement, the initial Dynamic Fees V1, launched in September as part of Project Ascend, successfully attracted new builders and boosted on-chain activity. However, co-founder Alon Cohen noted that these fees had inadvertently skewed incentives, favoring the creation of low-risk coins over higher-risk trading, which is crucial for platform engagement.
The latest update introduces enhanced creator fee sharing, allowing teams to distribute fees across up to 10 different wallets. Furthermore, creators can now transfer token ownership and revoke update authority post-launch, providing greater flexibility and security for revenue sharing arrangements. Creators and CTO administrators are empowered to assign specific fee percentages after a token has been launched, as stated by the company.
Future Trader-Driven Narratives and Platform Sustainability
Looking ahead, Pump.fun plans to implement future iterations of its system that will empower traders to influence which token narratives qualify for creator fees. This move aims to align rewards more closely with market demand, shifting the decision-making from deployers alone to a more dynamic, market-driven model.
The significant increase in token launches reflects a growing interest from the Solana memecoin community and a broader revitalization of platform activity, the company reported.
Cohen also indicated that further adjustments are planned to ensure a balance between creator earnings and the long-term sustainability of the platform heading into 2026. Pump.fun's evolving fee structure is designed to maintain growth momentum while actively encouraging trading activity, in addition to token deployment. The platform is focused on refining incentives for both creators and traders, according to the announcement.
