On May 15, PANews reported that crypto analyst Topher raised questions regarding the '50% creator revenue sharing' policy announced by pump.fun. He pointed out that this might just be an additional fee charged to the community. Previously, the PumpSwap fee structure included a liquidity pool fee of 0.20% and a platform fee of 0.05%; the current model adds a 0.05% creator revenue share on top of this. Topher believes that, in reality, the community is paying additional fees to support creators, while Pump itself is not returning the claimed 50% of DEX revenue, which could be misleading. He questioned why Pump is charging an additional 2.5 basis points fee on the DEX, given that the bonding curve has contributed almost all of Pump's income, stating that this does not seem like a wise move.
