Pump.fun, the “meme token factory,” will alter its commission reward system for content creators, as the current model has proven insufficiently beneficial. This was announced by the platform’s co-founder, Alon Cohen.
According to him, the Dynamic Fees V1 payout mechanism introduced last year attracted new developers and spurred on-chain activity, but “failed to significantly change the behavior of the average token user.”
Cohen believes that “dynamic fees” encourage participation in low-risk activities (token creation) and do not stimulate high-risk activities (trading). He described this situation as dangerous, as traders are a “vital element of the platform.”
The Dynamic Fees V1 model was introduced in September as part of the Ascend update, aimed at increasing content creators’ revenues without uniformly raising the overall fee size. The mechanism employs tiered fee rates based on market capitalization, reducing fees for content creators as tokens grow to balance project sustainability with long-term trader engagement.
Now, Pump.fun has announced initial changes that will allow fee distribution among content creators (up to 10 wallets).

The feature will also provide the ability to transfer coin ownership and revoke update authority. In the new system, content creators and administrators of the Community Takeover can set fee sizes after a token launch.
According to Cohen, these are just the first changes in a major overhaul expected in 2026.
“I can’t say too much yet, but as always, our strategy will be market-driven, and traders will decide whether a particular narrative truly deserves creator fee rewards and how they should be used,” he noted.
Back in November, Pump.fun co-founder known as Sapijiju denied allegations of transferring $436 million in stablecoins to the Kraken exchange.
