Meme coin craze returns! Pump.fun activity soars again, launching a new profit-sharing system for content creation rewards

Solana Ecosystem Meme Coin Issuance Platform Pump.fun PUMP Announces Adjustment of Creation Fees and Reward Mechanisms, Aiming to Balance Business Models Between Creators and Traders. This move comes as platform activity significantly rebounds, with meme coin issuance reaching a daily high since the launch of dynamic fee V1 in September last year, once again igniting market attention on the meme coin resurgence. Pump.Fun states that while the current “creation fee” design provides tangible benefits for well-organized, clearly divided project teams, generating relatively stable fee income, its actual impact on most ordinary meme coin deployers and teams is limited. After internal assessment, the platform believes that this mechanism has, to some extent, altered risk distribution, potentially shifting some risks originally borne by market traders to the platform and the overall ecosystem. In the long term, this is not conducive to healthy market development. Co-founder Cohen has decided to further adjust the mechanism to better balance the conflicting interests of creators and traders, enabling the platform to grow steadily.

Reevaluating the Effectiveness of the “Creation Fee”

Alon Cohen, co-founder of Pump Fun, posted on X for the first time in over two months, explaining the reasoning behind this adjustment. He stated that the creation fee introduced with the launch of dynamic fee V1 last year successfully attracted many new creators and drove rapid growth in on-chain transactions and token issuance. However, the system did not fundamentally change the behavior patterns of typical meme coin issuers. Cohen bluntly said that creation fees tend to incentivize “low-risk token issuance” rather than encouraging participants to actively engage in trading. He emphasized that traders are the key to Pump.fun’s operation and continued growth. Ignoring traders for too long will cause platform enthusiasm to fade.

Ascend Plan and the Original Dynamic Fee Design

Dynamic fee V1 was launched in September last year as part of the “Ascend Plan,” with the core goal of increasing potential earnings for creators without broadly raising platform fees. The model adopted a tiered fee structure based on market cap, where creator fee ratios decrease as token market value grows, aiming to balance project sustainability with long-term trader participation. However, after several months of operation, Pump.fun found that simply incentivizing creators through revenue sharing could still lead to market behavior deviations. Therefore, a new system adjustment was initiated to address structural issues caused by rapid platform growth.

Pump.fun Launches New System: Supporting Creator Profit Sharing and Flexible Permissions

Pump.fun introduced the “Creation Fee Sharing Feature,” allowing project teams to allocate creation fees to up to 10 wallets, supporting token ownership transfers and revoking contract update permissions. The new system also enables creators and CTO administrators to set specific fee percentages after token launch, providing greater flexibility for project governance, team profit sharing, and permission management. The platform states these features are mainly designed for more mature, organized project teams, while also reducing procedural friction in the typical meme coin issuance process.

Meme Coin Issuance Hits New High, Meme Coin Hotness Reignited

The timing of the system adjustment coincided with a noticeable rebound in Pump.fun’s activity. According to data from The Block, on Tuesday, the platform issued nearly 30,000 new tokens in a single day, the highest since mid-September last year, reflecting a renewed speculative mood around meme coins. Capital and attention are rapidly flowing back into Solana. Cohen revealed that future versions of Pump.fun will incorporate more “market mechanism”-oriented designs, allowing traders rather than token issuers to decide whether a token should charge creator fees. He pointed out that letting the market decide on the existence of fees can help reduce systemic distortions and make token value and trading activity more accurately reflect market consensus. Cohen added that Pump.fun plans to continue adjusting and rebalancing the overall incentive structure through 2026, with more mechanism updates to ensure the platform maintains long-term market health and ecosystem stability amid rapid growth. As the meme coin craze heats up again, whether Pump.fun’s reforms can successfully guide the market toward a more mature development model remains to be seen.
