- Graduation
- pump.fun: Bonding curve fills → automatic migration to PumpSwap
- Pons: V1: default 4.2 ETH milestone; trading stays in the same pool. V2: the curve sells its allocation, then liquidity moves into a locked Uniswap v4 pool under that launch’s configured terms.
- Creator rewards
- pump.fun: Creator fees apply on the bonding curve and on canonical PumpSwap pools. The published curve creator fee is 0.30%; post-graduation rates follow the current fee schedule. On a holder rewards coin (from 12 September 2026), the creator fee goes to the coin's holders.
- Pons: V1: current-factory creators receive 70% of pool fees; legacy tokens retain 90%. V2: creators receive their configured share and creator tax in the pairing asset; optional buybacks affect the distribution.
