Get this: if you're a token creator on the Solana-based memecoin launchpad, you'll score 0.05% in SOL every single time someone trades your coins. We're talking serious cash here! Hit $10 million in volume, and you're pocketing $5,000. And the best part? Traders can cash out their earnings instantly, right on-chain, using their Pump.fun profile. Ka-ching!

But wait, there's more! You're eligible for this revenue bonanza if your token is fresh off the press, still cruising on the bonding curve, or if it's graduated to PumpSwap, Pump.fun's own decentralized exchange. The possibilities are endless!

Can Pump.fun's Revenue Sharing Put an End to Token Dumps?

Up until now, memecoin creators on Pump.fun and other platforms have been stuck earning cash only when they sold their tokens. This setup pushed them to dump their tokens the second they got any buzz, leading to a non-stop parade of rug pulls.

This has been a massive headache for Pump.fun, which has been battling an outright epidemic of token rug pulls. Part of the problem? The platform makes launching tokens so damn easy that even a kid could do it—and one 13-year-old actually did, rugged two Pump.fun projects and all!

But with this new revenue-sharing model, creators can keep earning throughout the entire life of their token—even as it matures. This gives them a real reason to stick around and actively pump up their token's price and trading volume.

Pump.fun isn't just the biggest memecoin launchpad; it's also one of the most popular protocols on Solana. As of May 7, they've racked up a mind-blowing $22.3 billion in volume in 2025, making up 2.8% of all protocol volume on Solana. And when it comes to transaction count, they're the undisputed champs. Back in November 2024, Pump.fun was responsible for a staggering 62% of all Solana transactions. Now that's dominance!
