Pump.fun pairs 0% Solana trades with a 0.45% app fee it plans to give away

The Solana launchpad is routing all revenue from its new platform fee into referral rewards, betting that users who recruit will stay. Pump.fun has rolled out a new fee setup for its mobile app and website. It pairs 0% trading fees on Solana trades through the mobile app with a fresh 0.45% platform fee on trades placed through the app or web. The twist is where that 0.45% ends up. The Solana-based token launchpad says it will send all of the revenue from the fee back out through referral rewards, so none of it is booked as platform profit. The revamped structure takes effect on October 17, 2026. The referral program behind it was announced a day earlier, on October 16, 2026. The mechanics are fairly simple.
