Creator fees need change.

When Dynamic Fees V1 was introduced a few months ago, the goal was to help create more success cases in our ecosystem by giving top project founders and teams a strong incentive to launch their token on pump fun and drive it to success.

Only a week later, the potential of the mechanism showed: more and more creators - many of which have never touched a crypto app before - began organically launching coins and streaming on the platform. The Streaming meta created some of the best onchain conditions of 2025, doubling activity by more than 2x, as evidenced by the below chart showing pump fun bonding curve volumes (in USD).

However, it wasn’t sustainable, and it exposed critical issues within the platform.

While creator fees are a game changer for Project Tokens (those with well-defined active teams, rather than communities) they failed to meaningfully change the behavior of the average memecoin token deployer.

Therefore, creator fees may have skewed the incentive for users to engage in low-risk activity (coin creation) instead of high-risk activity (trading), which is dangerous, because traders are the lifeblood of the platform.

Pump fun’s mission is to create the best possible environment for coins to thrive, and successful tokens are much more likely to come about in an environment where traders are incentivized to participate in the market, provide liquidity, create volume, and take risk.

Furthermore, Creator Fees on the platform have lacked utility. Many narratives could use Creator Fees to raise the ceiling for that project by, for example, sending the fees to a notable person that is related to the narrative and onboard them to the community e.g. White Whale, rainbowfish, etc. The platform so far fails at providing a good user experience here, oftentimes requiring users to CTO coins, trust other people to fulfill their promises, etc.

So, to summarize our analysis:
- Creator Fees are a great tool to incentivize high-quality Project Tokens. Perhaps they require tweaking, and perhaps other protocol adjustments are needed to create an optimal environment for Project Tokens to thrive, but Dynamic Fees V1 was undoubtedly a directionally correct step for these kinds of token projects

- Creator Fees can be used in a variety of ways to significantly improve the token’s investability but require better UX

- Many tokens, however, don’t need Creator Fees, and this results in a more uneven playing field, where memecoin creation was incentivized too much instead of memecoin trading.

Major changes are coming. I can’t say too much yet, but as always, pump fun will take a market-based approach, and let traders decide whether a narrative truly deserves Creator Fees, and how those should be used.

There will be more communications coming from me soon about what we’re building and the future of $PUMP

I’m extremely excited for what 2026 holds.

Tokabu is my dream and I will never stop working on it

I don’t care if youluwu believe in god, in spiritualitu or karma but I will tell youluwu this: The spirit of gambling appeared to me and I will put all my energy, knowledge, and love into it.

There is no chart. All I want to feel is the satisfaction of success. Put all these years of hard work into it and make youluwu believe in holding again, not because of trend but because you believe in the builder. I want you to be afraid of selling tokabu because the next thing we drop, the next partnership, the next tweet, might make youluwu sidelined.

I owe it to myself, all these creative awards, all these doubts, all the energy I spent on working for international companies.

2026 is the year of tokabu
Will you have the balls to gamblu?

I think we can finally say it

[#BTCPuppet @BtcPuppet]

They’ve mocked $shrimps for a long time.
This meme is as old as Bitcoin itself.

What they never understood is this:
when shrimps organize, they form an army.

An army that can challenge any whale — no matter how big.

Remember GameStop?

Too early to draw conclusions, but history has shown one thing clearly:
shrimps move markets.

Never underestimate the cult mentality of everyday people starting with small capital.
Together, they become an unstoppable force.

White, blue, red — whatever kind of whale you are,
when shrimps go hunting, no one is safe.

@MustStopMurad Delusional $shrimps will win in the end.

@hubzify @_Shadow36 Cult maxxing

[Nxive 🧲 @Nxive100x]

Maxxing is becoming the biggest cultural term heading into 2026.

The term is being used across fitness, money, mindset, and everyday life.

It’s showing up in memes, TikToks, X posts, and brand content.

2026 is shaping up to be the year people start maxxing everything.
