May 12, 2025 — Pump.fun, a leading meme coin launchpad on Solana, has officially launched a new revenue-sharing mechanism for token creators via its decentralized exchange, PumpSwap — marking a major step forward in financially incentivizing its creator community.
According to the official announcement, creators will now receive 50% of all trading fees on PumpSwap for tokens they’ve launched — equivalent to 5 basis points (0.05%) in SOL for every transaction involving their token. For example, if a token reaches a trading volume of $10 million, its creator will earn $5,000 in rewards. This makes it the most generous revenue-sharing program ever offered by a launchpad platform, far surpassing traditional models.
To qualify for rewards, creators only need to meet one of the following criteria:
- The token is newly created
- The token is still actively trading on Pump.fun’s bonding curve
- The token has “graduated” to PumpSwap
Importantly, this system is already live as of today. All transaction fees are automatically distributed on-chain, ensuring full transparency. Creators can claim their rewards anytime directly through the Pump.fun website.
Claiming rewards is simple:
Creators just need to log in to Pump.fun using the wallet they used to launch the token, navigate to the “Coins” section in their profile, and click “CLAIM SOL REWARDS.” Rewards accumulate continuously, with no withdrawal limits, allowing creators to maximize their earnings based on community-driven trading volume.
With this bold move, Pump.fun further cements its position as the go-to launchpad for meme coins and grassroots token builders on Solana. The new model encourages deeper participation from creators, letting them directly benefit from the success of the tokens they’ve brought to life.
