In a latest development, PumpFun—the meme coin launching platform on the Solana blockchain—has announced a new creator revenue-sharing program. The initiative allocates 50% of the platform’s revenue to token creators, who will earn 0.05% (5 basis points) in SOL for each trade on their tokens.
Shared via the official PumpFun X handle, this announcement has spared mixed reactions from the crypto community.
This applies to newly created tokens, those still traded via PumpFun’s bonding curves, and tokens that have transitioned to PumpSwap, the platform’s decentralized exchange launched in March 2025.
PumpSwap currently accounts for 15% of PumpFun’s $2 million daily revenue, according to DefiLlama data.
The initiative aims to incentivize innovation within the platform, where PumpFun has already facilitated the creation of over 8.8 million tokens since its inception in 2024, per Dune analytics. By rewarding creators with a share of trading fees, PumpFun seeks to foster a more creator-friendly environment and drive further adoption of its platform, which has become a cornerstone of Solana’s DeFi economy.
As PumpFun continues to dominate Solana’s DeFi trading space, the long-term impact of this revenue-sharing model remains uncertain. While it may empower creators, the community calls for safeguards to protect traders and maintain trust in the ecosystem.
