- PumpFun co-founder announced the upcoming launch of the Creator Revenue Sharing feature to support token creators.
- 99.6% of wallets earned under $10K, sparking concerns about platform sustainability and fairness.
PumpFun co-founder Alon has confirmed that they will soon be releasing a new feature called “Creator Revenue Sharing.” This is not just a regular feature addition, it is designed to allow token creators to get a share of the revenue generated by the protocol.
On the other hand, Alon also mentioned that the $600 million in revenue raised so far is not being distributed to investors at all. It is all being returned to the product development room. Investors may find this decision puzzling, but for those with a long-term perspective, it may indicate the team’s commitment to creating a durable product.
Currently, the PumpFun team numbers around 45 to 50 people. The majority of them are engineers—meaning their focus is more on technical development, not image matters.

PumpFun’s DEX Impresses With $1M Daily Fee Revenue
Not long before the announcement of this new feature, PumpFun also launched PumpSwap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) that immediately made a splash. In its first week, PumpSwap managed to record a trading volume of over $1 billion.
Also, the platform also makes daily revenues of more than $1 million just from transaction fees. An achievement that certainly makes many eyes from the Solana community start to take a serious look. If previously many crypto projects only focused on hype, PumpFun seems to have succeeded in building a solid enough foundation to support the increasing interest.
Massive Gains for One, But Most Still Left Behind
However, not all stories from PumpFun end happily. CNF reports that one of the top wallets on the platform managed to make a profit of $39.74 million. Fartcoin is the main star, generating around $5.16 million for the wallet owner. A number that certainly makes anyone think about starting to learn to code and create their own tokens.
But wait, the story is not that simple. Although there are one or two big success stories, data shows that 99.6% of wallets on PumpFun have not made more than $10,000. This raises concerns about the sustainability of the model they are carrying.
Does this platform only benefit a few parties, while most are just spectators? Or could a new feature like Creator Revenue Sharing be the solution to create a fairer ecosystem?
Revenue Sharing May Help, If It Arrives Soon Enough
The presence of the Creator Revenue Sharing feature can be said to be a response to these questions. By sharing some of the revenue with token creators, there is the potential to encourage more projects that have added value and not just random tokens. It’s like giving a stage to indie musicians who are usually less popular than big singers on major labels.
Furthermore, this scheme can also create a healthier ecosystem, where creators have an incentive to build a community and not just release tokens and leave. However, this is still just a plan. There is no definite date for when this feature will be launched.
