No More Pump.fun Coin Creation Fees

The new updates will make the process of Pump.fun coin creation on more seamless and incentivizing for developers.

Whereas a Pump.fun coin creation used to cost something like $2, now it is no more. Its first purchaser bears the cost. Hence, the creators can start their tokens without having to pay a single coin at the beginning.

Besides, developers will now get 0.5 SOL if their token goes through its bonding curve, a financial model designed for supply and price dynamics management. The reward is funded through a reduced migration fee of 1.5 SOL, regardless of the current holdings of the developer.

Pump.fun: Platform to Increase Liquidity Support for Meme Coins

Pump.fun operates on a Bonding Curve mechanism that sets a token supply with its price. Upon the creation of a new meme coin, 800 million tokens are allocated to the Bonding Curve.

As users buy tokens, their price rises up the curve, which may multiply in value if listed on Raydium. After the market capitalization of one token reaches $66,000, additional liquidity is contributed to Raydium; part of this liquidity is burned to avoid risks of market manipulation.

This mechanism is part of a broader effort by Pump.fun to cut down on meme coin problems, such as rug pulls and market volatility. It supports a wide range of wallets enabled on Solana, such as Metamask, Phantom, WalletConnect, and Solflare, all allowing the user to interact with newly created tokens efficiently.
