Pump.fun Adjusts Creator Fee System to Prioritize Trading and Community Growth
Alon Cohen, co-founder of the Solana-based meme coin launchpad Pump.fun, has announced upcoming changes to the platform's creator fee mechanism. The current model, which previously drove significant activity and doubled trading volumes, is now viewed as unsustainable. The adjustments aim to rebalance incentives between token creators and traders, fostering long-term ecosystem health.
The existing fee structure inadvertently prioritized token deployment over trading and liquidity, leading to an influx of projects without sustained community growth. New changes will focus on increasing the utility of collected fees, directing them towards activities that boost project visibility and engagement, thereby prioritizing on-chain liquidity and trading volume.
