Pump.fun is overhauling how it pays creators just as activity on the platform surges: token launches nearly hit 30,000 in a single day — the platform’s busiest day since September. Why the change? Co-founder Alon Cohen said Pump.fun’s Dynamic Fees V1, launched last September under Project Ascend, succeeded at drawing builders and boosting on-chain activity but failed to change typical deployer behavior. The system unintentionally rewarded safer, low-effort coin deployments instead of the higher-risk trading activity that actually drives engagement. The revamp gives creators and teams more control and flexibility. New features let creators split fees across up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership, and revoke update authority. After a token launch, creators and CTO administrators can set specific fee-percentage allocations — a structural shift designed to better align rewards with the people actually supporting a token. Pump.fun is also planning further iterations that hand more power to traders. Future updates will let the market — via trader votes — help determine whether a token’s narrative qualifies for creator fees, shifting incentives from deployer-driven decisions to market-driven outcomes. The spike in launches signals renewed interest from the Solana memecoin community, the company said. Cohen added that more tweaks are coming to balance creator earnings with long-term sustainability as Pump.fun heads into 2026. The overall goal: sustain growth while encouraging real trading activity, not just mass token deployment. Read more AI-generated news on: undefined/news
