According to Foresight News, Pump.fun has announced the launch of the application process for community takeover (CTO) creator fees. All projects still on the bonding curve or that have migrated to PumpSwap may be eligible to redirect creator fees to other wallet addresses. However, if the tokens have been migrated to Raydium (i.e., tokens migrated before March 20, 2025), they do not meet the redirection criteria, as that smart contract is not under Pump.fun's control.
Effective community takeovers require undisputed evidence that the community cannot survive without a takeover leader (CTO). If there is reasonable dispute over who should receive the creator fees, the fees will not be redirected. Pump.fun will not intervene in disputes; the situation must be very clear, and false community takeovers will not be allowed. To apply for CTO creator fees, a relevant form must be filled out, and team members will contact you via email to ask further questions or inform you of the application results.
