Pumpswap, a decentralized exchange from Pump.fun, today announced that it will distribute 50% of its transaction revenue to Meme Coin Creators.
A new feature launched on May 12th will allow token creators to earn 0.05% of the transaction volume generated by coins.
Pump.Fun is preparing to increase the market share of Solana Dex with Pumpswap
According to Pump.Fun, users can claim rewards directly on the platform by connecting the wallet they used to create coins. The reward is paid in SOL and can be charged at any time.
This shift could position Pumpswap as one of Defi’s most creator-friendly platforms. It also shows a competitive move against established Solana-based distributed exchanges like Raydium.
According to Coingecko data, Raydium currently processes more than $517 million in daily trading volumes. By comparison, Pumpswap reached $80 million a day just two months after its launch.
The revenue sharing model is popular in the defi space. However, Pump.Fun appears to be actively seeking to increase its market presence through engagement. Launchpad is looking to gain more liquidity quickly and increase its market share in the busy Solana ecosystem.
This revenue sharing feature can drive stronger loyalty from developers and drive the launch of high-quality tokens.

As more creators seek passive income from trading activities, Pumpswap’s model could pressure other platforms to introduce similar incentives.
Pump.Fun itself experienced explosive growth in 2025. Since the start of the year, it has generated approximately $296 million in trading fees, surpassing Ethereum’s $249 million at the same time.
Earlier this year, Pump.Fun temporarily recorded $14 million in daily revenue before the volume was revised. Despite the slowdown in March, activity recovered strongly in May with daily revenues between $1 million and $2 million.
The platform also introduced Pumpswap to streamline the trading process for new tokens, bypassing the cost of migrating to external DEXs like Raydium. This allows for an immediate listing once the token has completed its binding curve sales.
As the Solana Meme Coin sector continues to evolve, Pumpswap’s aggressive creator incentives could shift trading patterns and accelerate competition.
