Creator Fees

What are creator fees?#

pump.fun tokens can route a share of the trading fees their curve generates to payout addresses, using an on-chain fee sharing config. Fees accumulate in the token’s fee vault and are paid out to the configured shareholder addresses whenever the vault is distributed.

Everything lives on Solana. The config is an on-chain program account, the vault accrues in SOL, and distributions are ordinary transactions you can verify on any explorer.

The fee radar#

fees.u.cash is a live, read-only index of every fee sharing config it discovers and every claim that pays one: which tokens route fees, who claims, how much, leaderboards by attributed creator, and a per-token page with curve progress, market cap and unclaimed vault balance. Attribution lines are reproduced verbatim from what token publishers wrote on-chain.

There is a public JSON API at fees.u.cash/api/v1/ for building on the same data.

U.CASH is not affiliated with pump.fun or any fee-routing service; the radar is independent on-chain data.

Routing your fees#

The fee wizard sets your token’s payout in a few steps:

1. Connect your Solana wallet - Phantom, Solflare or Backpack.
2. Paste your token’s mint address.
3. Set the receive address - any Solana address, including your pay.u.cash receive address.
4. Approve the transactions your wallet presents. Your wallet signs everything; U.CASH never holds, signs, or touches funds.

The wizard uses the official pump.fun program instructions, built in your browser and submitted by your own wallet.

On-chain rules to know#

• Routing is one-shot. The first fee-share update sets the payout split and revokes further changes on-chain. Choose the receive address carefully; it cannot be re-routed afterwards.
• The fee rate is set by the protocol. For SOL-quoted pump.fun coins the creator fee percentage is fixed by the program. You route where fees go, not how much they are.
• Configure before graduation. A coin that graduates to the AMM with a sharing config in place routes its AMM fees to the config. Coins that graduated before configuring can still be repaired: a permissionless instruction re-points the pool to the config, and the wizard runs it automatically before a sweep when needed.

Receiving your fees#

Fees accrue in the token’s fee vault as trading happens. Once the balance clears a small on-chain minimum (about 0.0007 SOL, covering account rent and per-recipient costs), the vault can be swept. The token’s page at fees.u.cash shows the live balance and a Sweep unclaimed fees button when there is something to distribute.

Sweeping is a permissionless action: whoever triggers it pays only their own transaction fee, and the funds go only to the configured receive addresses. Anyone can run it - usually you.

Vault alerts#

To catch accruals without checking manually, create an alarm on notify.u.cash with the fee vault trigger: point it at your token’s mint, set a SOL threshold, and get an email when unclaimed fees cross it. Sweeping the vault drains it and re-arms the alert.

Launching a coin#

The same wizard can launch a brand-new pump.fun coin with fees pre-routed to your receive address. You sign three transactions: creating the coin (its mint key is generated and kept in your browser for the signature only), an optional first buy, and the fee routing. The preview states the on-chain rules - one-shot routing, protocol-set fee rate - before you sign, and metadata is hosted by you.

To trade any listed token, the token page links to the swap rail at swap.u.cash.
