PANews reported on May 15th that crypto analyst Topher raised questions about Pump.fun's announced "50% creator revenue sharing" policy, pointing out that this might be an additional fee charged to the community. Previously, in PumpSwap's fee model, the liquidity pool fee was 0.20%, and the platform fee was 0.05%; the current model adds a 0.05% creator fee share on top of this. Topher believes that the community is actually paying additional fees to support creators, and Pump itself has not returned 50% of DEX revenue as claimed, which seems misleading. He questioned why Pump would charge an additional 2.5 basis points fee on the DEX, given that the Bonding Curve almost contributes all of Pump's income, which he does not consider a wise move.
