Hey there, meme enthusiasts! If you're deep into the world of Solana meme coins, you've probably heard the buzz around Pump.fun's latest update. This platform, known for making it super easy to launch meme tokens on Solana, just rolled out a new fee model that's putting serious cash back into creators' pockets. And boy, the numbers are eye-popping.
It all started with a tweet from Adam (@Adam_Tehc on X), highlighting how over $1.3 million in creator fees were claimed in the first 12 hours alone. Check out the original post here.

claims chart, you can see a massive spike recently, showing just how quickly this is taking off.
Fast forward to the next update: Adam dropped another bombshell, revealing that 30 Pump.fun creators snagged over $20K each in fees yesterday. That's right—thousands flowing in from trading activity on their launched tokens. The standout? Gainzy, who apparently turned a simple miss-click into a whopping $88K windfall. Talk about a happy accident!
Here's the full tweet for context: Adam's update on top earners.
To give you a clear picture, Adam shared a leaderboard of the highest-earning coin creators over the past 24 hours, measured in SOL (Solana's native token). The top spot? A creator pulling in 484.6 SOL— that's roughly $63K at current prices, but Gainzy's feat pushes the envelope even further.

What This Means for Meme Tokens
Pump.fun's revenue sharing is a game-changer. For those new to it, Pump.fun lets anyone create and launch a meme coin with minimal hassle—no need for deep coding skills. The platform takes a cut from trades, and now, a portion goes back to the creators based on their token's activity. It's like royalties for your viral idea.
With figures like these, expect a surge in "creator coins"—tokens tied to influencers, artists, or just clever meme lords looking to monetize their communities. But it's not all smooth sailing; some replies to the tweet warn about potential rugs (sudden dumps) or extraction schemes where creators hype and bail.
For example, one user quipped, "They ride and dump and keep the fees. This is the new extraction meta." It's a reminder to DYOR (do your own research) before jumping in.

Hey everyone, if you're keeping tabs on the wild world of meme coins on Solana, Pump.fun is probably already on your radar. For the uninitiated, Pump.fun is a user-friendly platform that lets anyone launch their own token with just a few clicks – no coding required. It's become a hotspot for quick meme coin launches, but things just got even more interesting with their new revenue-sharing model.
Recently, Pump.fun unveiled Project Ascend, a dynamic fee system designed to supercharge creator earnings. Instead of fixed cuts, it ties rewards to factors like token market cap and trading volume, potentially multiplying payouts by up to ten times. The goal? To encourage longer-lasting projects and reward those who build real community buzz.
Explosive Earnings in the First Days
The rollout has been nothing short of explosive. In the first 12 hours alone, creators claimed over $1.3 million in fees. Fast forward a bit, and the numbers are even crazier – over $2 million distributed in just 24 hours, according to recent reports.
A tweet from data whiz Adam (@Adam_Tehc) highlights the frenzy, noting that 30 Pump.fun creators pulled in more than $20,000 each yesterday. One standout? Streamer Gainzy, who reportedly generated a staggering $88,000 in creator fees following a notorious "miss-click." For context, Gainzy claims he accidentally sold off his holdings while messing with his phone, causing his token to plummet 99%. While some cry foul and label it a rug pull, the incident sparked massive trading volume, which in turn boosted his fee earnings under the new model. You can read more about the drama on Protos.
Adam's post also quotes an earlier update showing the rapid adoption, and it's clear this is sparking a wave of "creator coins" – tokens tied directly to influencers and builders in the space.
