Pump.fun founder returns to X, promises creator fee overhaul as $PUMP jumps 10%
Pump.fun founder Alon returned to X after 65 days to announce a 2026 overhaul of creator fees, causing $PUMP to jump 10%.Summary
Pump.fun founder Alon returned to X after a 65-day absence to announce significant protocol upgrades planned for 2026, primarily focused on overhauling creator fees and improving token launch dynamics on the Solana-based platform. Alon admitted that the previous Dynamic Fees V1 system, while initially successful, ultimately created skewed incentives away from traders, calling it unsustainable. In response, the platform introduced "Creator Fee Sharing," a new system allowing creators to distribute fees to up to 10 wallets, transfer coin ownership, and revoke update authority, aiming to restore trust and transparency. Following these announcements, the $PUMP token surged over 10%, driven by renewed interest and anticipation for a previously hinted airdrop.
