The "meme token factory" Pump.fun is set to change its commission reward system for content creators, as the current model has proven insufficiently beneficial. This was reported by co-founder Alon Cohen.

According to him, the Dynamic Fees V1 mechanism introduced last year attracted new developers and spurred a surge in on-chain activity, but "failed to significantly alter the behavior of the average token user."

Cohen believes that "dynamic fees" encourage participation in low-risk activities (like token creation) but do not incentivize high-risk activities (such as trading). He described this situation as dangerous, as traders are a "vital element of the platform."

The Dynamic Fees V1 model was introduced in September as part of the Ascend update, aimed at increasing content creators' revenues without uniformly raising the total commission size. The mechanism employs tiered fee rates based on market capitalization, reducing fees for content creators as token values rise, to balance project sustainability with long-term trader participation.

Pump.fun has now announced its first changes that will allow fees to be shared among content creators (up to 10 wallets).

This feature will also enable the transfer of coin ownership rights and the revocation of update permissions. In the new system, content creators and Community Takeover administrators will be able to set commission rates after a token is launched.

Cohen stated that these are just the first changes in a major overhaul expected in 2026.

"I can't say too much yet, but as always, our strategy will be based on market principles, and traders will ultimately decide whether a particular narrative deserves commission rewards for creators and how they should be utilized," he noted.

Recall that in November, Pump.fun co-founder under the alias Sapijiju dismissed allegations of withdrawing $436 million in stablecoins to the Kraken exchange.
