Updated: Jan 10 2026- Fee Structure Reform: Pump.fun is revising its creator fee model to enhance market stability, aiming to encourage more sustainable token creation behaviors that will improve the platform's long-term health.
- Dynamic Fee Issues: The previous dynamic fee system, while boosting activity, led to a neglect of liquidity and high-risk trading, negatively impacting user experience and prompting necessary adjustments to restore market confidence.
- New Feature Launch: The revised mechanism allows creators and community administrators to allocate fees to up to ten wallets post-launch, along with options for ownership transfer and revocation of update rights, enhancing transparency and control.
- Market Share Maintenance: Despite briefly losing market share in July, Pump.fun quickly regained its position through strategic buybacks and improved payout programs, maintaining a commanding 75% to 80% share of Solana memecoin launches, solidifying its status as the platform of choice for creators.
