The meme-token creation and trading platform Pump.fun has announced the introduction of a new trading fee distribution system for content creators, aimed at encouraging longer-lasting memes and improving the platform’s overall economy.
According to platform co-founder Alon Cohen, Pump.fun will update its creator fee mechanism, allowing fees to be distributed across up to 10 wallets in order to incentivize active team participation.
While the exact evolution of fees and incentives will become clearer over time, the key change is already evident. Previously, token creators did not receive a direct share of trading fees. Under the new Creator Fee Sharing model, the platform will evaluate the content surrounding a token — including its launch, meme concept, narrative, social media promotion efforts, and community activity — and direct a portion of trading revenue to the creators.
This approach shows that Pump.fun views meme tokens as a form of user-generated content, with trading fees functioning as an analogue to advertising revenue. The platform aims to build a more sustainable meme-content economy by reducing short-term pumps.
According to Cryptopolitan, Alon Cohen’s statement followed several months of near silence, during which token creation and trading activity slowed significantly.
Activity on Pump.fun is now rebounding, and the platform is seeking to stimulate trading — which is becoming the primary source of fee revenue — rather than relying on the constant launch of new tokens, in order to support more sustainable and long-lived projects.
As we wrote, Pump.fun denies claims of cashing out ICO funds
