Pump.fun says creator fees ‘may have skewed’ incentives, plans revamp
Pump.fun is introducing a new creator fee sharing system that lets teams and CTO admins split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership and revoke update authority.
Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen said the Solana-based memecoin launchpad is overhauling its creator fee system after concluding that the existing model may have skewed incentives.
“Creator fees need change,” Cohen wrote in a Friday post on X, acknowledging that the Dynamic Fees V1 system, introduced several months ago, succeeded in driving activity but failed to produce sustainable market behavior.
According to Cohen, the mechanism encouraged low-risk token creation at the expense of high-risk trading, which he described as “dangerous” because traders are the core source of liquidity and volume on the platform.
