pump.fun Creator Fees: How Much You Earn and How to Claim Them

On pump.fun, the wallet that created a coin earns a creator fee on every trade. According to the pump.fun fee documentation, the bonding curve charges a total fee of 1.25 percent, of which 0.30 percent goes to the creator. After a coin graduates to PumpSwap, the creator fee on the canonical pool depends on market cap: 0.30 percent below 420 SOL of market cap, 0.95 percent between 420 and 1,470 SOL, then stepping down band by band to 0.05 percent at 98,240 SOL and above. Creator fees apply to coins that were on the bonding curve or PumpSwap from May 13, 2025.

The fees do not land in your wallet by themselves. On the bonding curve they accumulate in a creator vault account derived from the creator address; on PumpSwap they accumulate in a creator vault token account. Moving them to your wallet takes a claim transaction, collectCreatorFee for the bonding curve and collectCoinCreatorFee for PumpSwap, and in both cases the creator wallet must sign it. Both instructions are documented in the public pump-fun/pump-public-docs repository, together with the Pump SDK and PumpSwap SDK packages that send them.

Once a coin trades, you can follow it in DexLab Token Hub by its mint address, and reach its holders with the Multisender if you want to distribute part of what the coin earns.

How pump.fun Creator Fees Work, Step by Step

  1. Know which wallet is the creator

    The creator fee goes to the address recorded on the bonding curve as the creator. The public docs state that this is the creator argument passed to the create instruction, which "will receive all the creator fees for that coin", that older coins fall back to their Metaplex creator metadata, and that coins with neither are filled in by pump.fun from its own records of past coins. Keep that wallet, because only it can claim.

  2. Fees accrue while the coin is on the bonding curve

    Every buy and sell on the curve pays the 1.25 percent total fee, and the creator share, 0.30 percent, is sent to a creator vault account derived from the creator address. Nothing is paid out automatically; the balance simply grows in the vault.

  3. Fees continue on the canonical PumpSwap pool after graduation

    When the coin graduates, pump.fun charges 0.015 SOL and moves the liquidity into a canonical PumpSwap pool. Trades on that pool keep paying the creator, at the market cap based rate in the fee schedule, into a creator vault token account. Pools that were not created by the pump.fun migration, and coins that migrated to Raydium before PumpSwap existed, pay no creator fee.

  4. Claim with the creator wallet

    The bonding curve vault is emptied with the collectCreatorFee instruction and the PumpSwap vault with collectCoinCreatorFee; the creator must sign either one. The public docs point to the Pump SDK and PumpSwap SDK packages for building those transactions; they do not describe a claim screen, so this guide does not either.

  5. Check whether the coin is a cashback coin

    A coin can be launched as a cashback coin, in which case the creator fee is redirected to the traders as cashback instead of to the creator. That choice is made at creation and is part of the coin, so a cashback coin has no creator fee to claim.

  6. Track the coin and its holders on DexLab

    Any Solana token, including a pump.fun coin, can be opened in DexLab Token Hub by its mint address to watch price, holders, and trades. If you want to send part of your creator income to holders, the Multisender distributes a token to a list of wallets in one session.

pump.fun creator fees FAQ

How much does a pump.fun creator earn per trade?
Per the pump.fun fee documentation: 0.30 percent of every trade while the coin is on the bonding curve, where the total fee is 1.25 percent. On the canonical PumpSwap pool after graduation the creator share is 0.30 percent below 420 SOL of market cap, 0.95 percent from 420 to 1,470 SOL, and then steps down through the bands to 0.05 percent at 98,240 SOL and above. A parallel schedule in USDC applies to coins paired with USDC.
Do creator fees pay out automatically?
No. They accumulate in a vault account tied to the creator address and are moved to the creator wallet by a claim transaction that the creator signs. There is one claim instruction for the bonding curve vault and another for the PumpSwap vault.
Can I claim from a different wallet than the one that created the coin?
The public docs state that the creator must sign the claim transaction, and that the creator is the address passed at creation, or the Metaplex creator metadata for older coins. They document no user-facing way to reassign it, so treat the creating wallet as the only wallet that can claim.
Does every pump.fun coin earn creator fees?
Creator fees apply to coins that were on the bonding curve or on PumpSwap from May 13, 2025. Coins that migrated to Raydium before PumpSwap existed do not receive them, and PumpSwap pools that were not created by the pump.fun migration pay no creator fee either. A cashback coin sends the creator share to traders instead of the creator.
What is a cashback coin?
A coin launched with cashback enabled, which redirects the creator fee to the users who trade it: each trader receives the creator fee on their own volume as cashback. The setting is chosen when the coin is created.
Does pump.fun charge anything to create a coin or to graduate?
Creating a coin costs 0 SOL, and graduation to PumpSwap costs 0.015 SOL, according to the fee documentation. The trading fees above are where the platform and the creator earn.What happens at graduation
How is this different from creating a token on DexLab?
A DexLab token is a standard SPL or Token-2022 token you configure yourself: supply, decimals, authorities, and metadata, for a flat 0.15 SOL plus about 0.02 SOL of rent, with no fee on trades. pump.fun is a launchpad with fixed token parameters and a bonding curve that pays you per trade. They suit different launches, and the comparison page lists both models side by side.Token creator comparison
