The platform Pump.fun, known for launching memecoins on Solana, has introduced a revenue-sharing program with coin creators. Now, authors will be able to earn SOL tokens from every transaction made with their asset. The new feature has already sparked discussion among market participants.
How the Model Works
According to the terms, 50% of all profits generated from transactions on PumpSwap will be directed to the creators of the tokens. From each coin swap, the creator will receive 0.05% of the transaction volume. For example, with a trading volume of $10 million, this would amount to $5,000 in SOL.
Payouts will be automatic — creators simply need to log into their profile, open the section with their tokens, and click CLAIM SOL REWARDS. Rewards can be claimed at any time and with no frequency limits.
What Users Are Saying
Some are calling this new initiative a step toward moving away from “anonymous” memecoins and scammers who often vanish shortly after launching.
“We finally realized that community coins made by anon devs make no sense anymore. Thank god,” wrote a user under the handle AstridPilla.Miku.
However, not everyone agrees with the lack of restrictions, especially regarding withdrawals. Some users are urging the platform to implement conditions on reward claims to prevent quick profit schemes and rug pulls.
“Add at least one requirement: that the developer must hold the token for at least two weeks — then they can claim the rewards,” one user suggested.
Concerns About Stolen Art and Concepts
There’s also a growing concern about copied tokens. One user reported that their token was replicated by another creator who is now receiving the associated rewards.
Competition Is Heating Up
A similar platform was recently launched by major NFT market player Boop.fun. The creators have already unveiled BOOP tokenomics and attempted to assure the community of the project’s transparency. The competition between platforms for memecoin creators is clearly intensifying.
