The Solana-based meme coin launchpad Pump.fun has introduced a dynamic fee model aimed at fostering a more sustainable and incentivized creator ecosystem. Under the new framework, creator fees on the platform are reduced to 0.05% from the previous 0.95%, provided the token achieves a market cap of 98,240 SOL. This model is part of Pump.fun’s broader initiative, “Project Ascend,” which seeks to address the issue of short-lived token hype and promote long-term development in the

Solana
network [3].

The impact of the new model has been immediate and significant. Within 24 hours of its implementation, creators earned over $2.4 million, and Pump.fun became the top revenue-generating application on the Solana network, generating $2.55 million, surpassing even decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid [1]. The success of the model is further underscored by the rising activity on the Solana network, with the number of SPL tokens created on the network reaching 48,081 on Wednesday—the highest level since mid-August [1].

The Total Value Locked (TVL) on Solana has also shown signs of recovery, reaching $11.579 billion, close to the record high of $11.989 billion set in January. This growth is supported by an increase in stablecoin liquidity, particularly Circle’s

USDC
, which dominates 69.40% of the stablecoin market capitalization on Solana after a recent mint of 250 million USDC [1].

Notably, the Solana-based TROLL meme coin has made a significant move by securing exclusive worldwide intellectual property (IP) rights to the Trollface meme. The deal includes a royalty of 11% for the original creator, Carlos Ramirez, and has led to a double-digit increase in TROLL’s spot price. The deal highlights how intellectual property can drive value in the meme coin space and potentially influence broader market sentiment [1].

Pump.fun’s strategy is not limited to fee adjustments. The platform has also introduced the Glass Full Foundation, a liquidity fund aimed at supporting community-driven projects on the Solana network. In addition, Pump.fun has expanded its capabilities through strategic acquisitions, including the integration of Kolscan for wallet tracking and social trading features. The platform recently launched a public token sale targeting $600 million, representing 15% of PUMP’s total supply [3].

These developments suggest that Pump.fun is shifting its focus from a speculative launchpad to a more structured environment that supports real-world project development. The introduction of a real-time revenue dashboard and faster processing of community takeover applications further reinforce this strategy. According to the team, the updates are intended to give legitimate builders a clearer path to long-term sustainability, addressing limitations in the previous creator fee model [3].
