How it works
- Traders pay pump.fun's creator fee.
- Fee sharing sends 100% of it to the treasury. Locked.
- At each publication: 1% platform fee (buys back $REDPILL), creator share, rest to backing.
- Rate =
backing / supply, republished every interval. - Holders burn tokens for their share at the rate.
Redeeming
- One transaction: publish if due, burn, pay out in the quote asset.
gross = min(amount × rate, amount × vault / supply),net = gross − fee- Set a minimum received. The transaction fails rather than pay less.
- Burned tokens are gone. Supply shrinks.
- Last token redeemed: treasury goes terminal, residual to that redeemer.
- The rate is a floor, not a price or a peg.
Fees
| Fee | To | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| pump.fun protocol fee | pump.fun | 0.95% per curve trade |
| Creator fee | Treasury | Set by pump.fun per coin |
| Platform fee | $REDPILL buyback | 1% of rewards |
| Creator share | Payout wallet | 0 to 50% of rewards after platform fee |
| Redemption fee | Backing or creator | 0 to 5% of payout |
The platform fee goes to the platform authority wallet and is used to buy back $REDPILL, the first token launched on Red Pill. Buybacks are made from that wallet, not enforced by the program.
Share, redemption fee and interval (1 minute on devnet, otherwise 1 hour to 30 days) are fixed at creation.
Launch and onboard
- Launch: create the coin, treasury and fee sharing in one atomic transaction. Optional dev buy follows.
- Onboard: add a treasury to an existing coin. Needs the current creator, revoked mint authority, no Holder Rewards, no finalized fee sharing.
- Onboarding finalizes fee sharing. It is permanent. Earlier fees stay in your pump.fun vault.

- Upstream. pump.fun can change fee rules. Inflow may slow or stop; funds in the treasury stay redeemable.
- Quote asset. Issuers like USDC can freeze accounts and block payouts.
- Permanent. Settings and fee routing cannot be changed by anyone.
- Not advice. Not financial, legal or tax advice, or an offer of any security.
