To qualify for earnings, a token must meet at least one of three criteria: It must be newly created, still trading on Pump.fun’s bonding curve, or previously graduated to PumpSwap. No retroactive rewards apply, and trading volume before May 12 is excluded from the calculation.
Rewards are automatically accrued and may be claimed on-chain through the user’s wallet by accessing their profile on Pump.fun. The platform states that creators can claim their rewards at any time, with no lock-up periods or thresholds.
The program marks an update to the monetization model behind Pump.fun’s token launch framework. According to the official announcement, PumpSwap will allocate 50% of its revenue to token creators, translating to 0.05% per transaction.
However, the platform has not formally updated the full fee structure on PumpSwap, which currently charges 0.20% to liquidity providers (LP) and 0.05% to the protocol.
The implication that creators receive an additional 0.05% suggests the total trading fee has increased to 0.30%, with 0.25% distributed to LPs and creators, and 0.05% retained by the platform.
