PANews reported on May 15 that crypto analyst Topher questioned the "50% creator revenue share" policy announced by pump.fun, pointing out that this might just be an additional fee charged to the community. In the previous PumpSwap 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 this basis. Topher believes that it is actually the community that is paying extra fees to support creators, and Pump's own income has not returned 50% of DEX revenue as claimed, which is misleading. He questioned why Pump should charge an additional 2.5 basis points on DEX, given that the bonding curve contributes almost all of Pump's revenue. In his opinion, this is not a wise move.
