Pump.fun Launches Holder Rewards Mechanism and Discontinues Cashback Model

Odaily reports: Pump.fun announced two major changes on X, introducing the Holder Rewards model and discontinuing the Cashback model. With tokens that adopt the Holder Rewards model, users simply need to hold the token to receive rewards. The longer the holding period, the higher the reward cap. Going forward, when creators issue new tokens, they can choose either the standard Creator Fee model or the Holder Rewards model; existing Cashback and Creator Fee tokens can also apply to switch to Holder Rewards, but the switch cannot be reversed once made.

Under the Holder Rewards model, the relevant fees will go into the Pump.fun distribution wallet and be automatically distributed to holders multiple times per hour in proportion to their holdings. Users with holdings valued at over $20 are eligible to receive rewards. Rewards are distributed in the quote asset of the trading pair—for example, tokens paired with SOL will distribute rewards in SOL.
