PumpSwap Offers 50% Revenue Share to Meme Coin Creators

PumpSwap, a decentralized exchange from Pump.fun, has announced a new initiative to share 50% of its trading revenue with meme coin creators. This move, effective from May 12, allows token creators to earn 0.05% of the trading volume generated by their coins. Users can claim these rewards directly on the platform by connecting the wallet they used to create their coins, with payments made in SOL and available at any time.

This revenue-sharing model positions PumpSwap as one of the most creator-friendly platforms in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. It also marks a competitive move against established Solana-based decentralized exchanges. PumpSwap's aggressive strategy aims to capture more liquidity and grow its market share in the crowded Solana ecosystem. This initiative could drive stronger loyalty from developers and encourage higher-quality token launches, potentially shifting trading patterns and accelerating competition in the meme coin sector.

Pump.fun has seen significant growth in 2025, generating approximately $296 million in transaction fees year-to-date. The platform introduced PumpSwap to streamline the trading process for new tokens, allowing immediate listing once a token completes its bonding curve sale. This eliminates the need for migration costs to external DEXs, providing a more efficient and cost-effective solution for token creators.

As more creators seek passive income from trading activity, PumpSwap’s model may pressure other platforms to introduce similar incentives. The platform's aggressive creator incentives could shift trading patterns and accelerate competition in the Solana meme coin sector, positioning PumpSwap as a leading player in the DeFi space.
