Memecoin creator fees and rewards compared across launchpads

A creator fee is the part of each trade fee that a launchpad pays to the wallet that launched the token. Its size, and whether it exists at all, differs by launchpad.

Creator shares are quoted from each launchpad's docs, last checked on 2026-09-25. Rates are for default launch settings; tax tokens and other modes can pay more.

How creator fees work

A trader pays one fee per trade. The launchpad divides it: one part is its own platform fee, and on most launchpads in the table below another part goes to the token's creator. The creator earns from every buy and sell, so the payout grows with trading volume, not with the price.

On pump.fun, “A creator can claim the creator fee alone or split it among several wallets.” Its docs add: “On a holder rewards coin, pump.fun pays the creator fee to holders and the creator claims nothing.” (pump.fun holder rewards coins, checked 2026-09-25). The pump.fun fee calculator shows the creator part of any trade size and market cap.

What the creator fee data shows

Six of the nine launchpads publish a default creator share per trade. The highest is 0.7% of each trade, on LetsCash (at the default 1% tax) and Pons (Pons V1: 70% of the 1% pool fee). The rest pay 0.5% on NOXA Fun, 0.3% on pump.fun and 0.25% on Bags.

LetsBONK.fun pays creators 0% on the curve. Its published detail: "0% on the curve. After graduation, the 0.75% pool creator fee goes to an address LetsBONK controls. The share passed on to token creators is not published."

Measured against the whole trade fee, the creator's part is 70% on LetsCash, 70% on Pons, 50% on NOXA Fun, 24% on pump.fun, 12.5% on Bags and 0% on LetsBONK.fun. A higher part means that more of every fee a trader pays reaches the person who launched the token.

Flap.sh, four.meme and Raydium LaunchLab publish no default creator share of the standard fee. Flap.sh: "No creator share of the 1% curve fee is published. Non-tax tokens use DEX LP fees to reward holders. Tax tokens pay out as the creator configured." four.meme: "No creator share of the standard 1% fee is published. A tax token can send part of its tax to a wallet the creator chooses." Raydium LaunchLab: "Set by each platform. The curve creator fee is capped at 0.5%. The CPMM creator fee is 0 unless the pool config enables it."

After graduation the creator share can change. pump.fun publishes a full schedule by market cap: "0.30% on the curve. On PumpSwap, 0.30% below 420 SOL, 0.95% just above it, then down to 0.05% at the top tier." The fee calculator applies every band.
