Meme Coin Creators Strike Gold as PumpSwap Offers 50% Revenue Share
In a bold move aimed at shaking up the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape, PumpSwap, the decentralized exchange from Pump.fun, announced today that it will distribute a remarkable 50% of its trading revenue directly to meme coin creators.
Launched on May 12, this new feature allows creators to earn 0.05% of the trading volume generated by their tokens. Pump.fun users can easily claim their rewards in SOL tokens at any time, directly through the wallet used to create their meme coins.

This innovative approach positions PumpSwap as one of the most appealing platforms for creators in the increasingly competitive DeFi market. It’s a clear move to attract developers and distinguish itself from established Solana-based exchanges like Raydium, which currently dominates with over $517 million in daily trading volume. PumpSwap, however, is rapidly catching up, hitting $80 million daily volume within just two months of its debut.

Revenue-sharing models have proven popular among DeFi users, but Pump.fun’s aggressive 50% payout takes the concept to a whole new level. As creators look for sustainable ways to generate passive income, this initiative might force competitors to follow suit, reshaping the Solana ecosystem.
The year 2025 has already seen explosive growth for Pump.fun, generating around $296 million in transaction fees, outpacing even Ethereum’s $249 million over the same timeframe. Earlier this year, Pump.fun achieved a record-breaking $14 million in revenue in a single day, though numbers briefly dipped in March before rebounding strongly in May, consistently bringing in daily revenues between $1 million and $2 million.
Moreover, Pump.fun’s PumpSwap initiative simplifies trading for newly created tokens by eliminating costly migrations to external exchanges like Raydium. Tokens can now be listed immediately after completing their bonding curve sale, streamlining the entire process.
With these enticing creator incentives, PumpSwap is not only driving loyalty and quality in token launches but is also reshaping the future of meme coin trading and competition within Solana’s vibrant DeFi ecosystem.
