How to claim pump.fun creator fees (bonding curve and PumpSwap)

The short answer

You claim pump.fun creator fees by sweeping two vaults to your wallet: a SOL vault for bonding curve trades and a wrapped SOL vault for PumpSwap trades after migration. At the time of writing, creators earn 0.30% of bonding curve volume and 0.05% to 0.95% of PumpSwap volume. pump.fun's profile page has a free claim button, and the SOLTidy wallet cleanup claims both vaults in one transaction for 5%.

How do pump.fun creator fees work?

pump.fun creator fees are a share of every buy and sell of a coin, paid by traders and routed by the program to the wallet recorded as the coin's creator. They went live on both pump.fun and PumpSwap on May 12, 2025, according to pump.fun's developer documentation, and pump.fun now brands them creator rewards.

The creator is whoever the create instruction named. pump.fun's developer docs warn integrators about exactly this: the pubkey passed as creator "will receive all the creator fees for that coin". If you launched through a bot or another launchpad, the creator may be that service's wallet rather than yours, which is worth checking before you go looking for fees.

At the time of writing, in October 2026, pump.fun's fee page lists these rates:

Where the coin trades	Total trade fee	Creator fee	Protocol fee	LP fee
pump.fun bonding curve	1.25%	0.30%	0.95%	0%
PumpSwap, market cap 0 to 420 SOL	1.25%	0.30%	0.93%	0.02%
PumpSwap, 420 to 1,470 SOL	1.20%	0.95%	0.05%	0.20%
PumpSwap, 9,820 to 14,740 SOL	0.95%	0.70%	0.05%	0.20%
PumpSwap, 49,120 to 54,030 SOL	0.55%	0.30%	0.05%	0.20%
PumpSwap, 98,240 SOL and up	0.30%	0.05%	0.05%	0.20%
Non-canonical PumpSwap pools	0.30%	0%	0.05%	0.25%

The full PumpSwap table has 25 tiers stepping the creator fee down as market cap grows; the rows above are a sample. USDC-paired coins use the same percentages with thresholds in USDC. pump.fun has changed these numbers several times, so treat the table as a snapshot and check the live fee page before relying on it.

As a worked example: a coin that does 100 SOL of volume on the bonding curve earns its creator 0.3 SOL. If it migrates and does another 1,000 SOL of volume at a market cap between 420 and 1,470 SOL, that adds 9.5 SOL.

Where do creator fees accrue before you claim them?

Creator fees accrue in two vaults tied to your wallet, one per program, and they stay there until someone runs the claim. Neither vault is a token account you can see in your wallet app, which is why unclaimed fees are easy to forget.

	Bonding curve (pump.fun program)	After migration (PumpSwap)
Account	creator-vault PDA, derived from your wallet	wSOL token account of the creator_vault authority PDA
Held as	Native SOL (lamports)	Wrapped SOL
Claim instruction	collect_creator_fee (or collect_creator_fee_v2)	collect_coin_creator_fee
What is paid out	Everything above the vault's rent-exempt minimum	The whole wSOL balance
Scope	Every coin the wallet launched	Every migrated coin the wallet launched

Two details matter in practice. First, both vaults are per creator wallet, not per coin, so a creator with thirty coins has one bonding curve vault and one PumpSwap vault, and one claim of each sweeps all thirty. Second, the bonding curve vault keeps its rent-exempt minimum, 650,240 lamports (about 0.00065 SOL) at the current rent rate, so the claim pays out everything above that. The vault is the program's account, not yours, and the reserve is not something you can reclaim.

PumpSwap pays in wrapped SOL because the AMM trades wSOL. Claim instructions deliver it to a wSOL account in your name, and a careful tool closes that account in the same transaction so you end up with plain SOL. If you ever find a stray wSOL balance after a manual claim, what wrapped SOL is explains it, and the SOL wrap and unwrap tool turns it back into SOL.

How do you check how much is unclaimed?

The easiest way is to look at your pump.fun profile or run a read-only scan; the precise way is to read the two vault balances on chain. Three options:

1. pump.fun's own profile. At the time of writing, pump.fun shows creator rewards in a section of your profile, with the amount waiting to be claimed. Menu names change, so look for "rewards" or "creator rewards".
2. A read-only scan. Connect your wallet to the Solana wallet cleanup on SOLTidy's home page. The "pump.fun rewards" row lists creator fees waiting on pump.fun and on PumpSwap separately, after the 5% fee. Scanning signs nothing.
3. On chain. The bonding curve vault is the PDA with seeds "creator-vault" and your wallet address under the pump.fun program; its unclaimed amount is its SOL balance minus the rent-exempt minimum. The PumpSwap amount is the wSOL balance of the associated token account owned by the PDA with seeds "creator_vault" and your wallet under the PumpSwap program. pump.fun's open-source SDKs derive both.

If a claim transaction looks odd afterwards, paste its signature into the Transaction Decoder to see exactly which vault paid what into which account.

How do you claim pump.fun creator fees?

You claim by signing a transaction that calls the two collect instructions, which move the vault balances into your creator wallet. There are three ways to build it.

From pump.fun. At the time of writing, pump.fun's profile has a creator rewards section with a claim-all button, according to current creator guides; pump.fun's own announcements point users to the rewards section of their profile. You sign in your wallet and pay only the network fee. If you only ever claim creator fees and are happy doing it on pump.fun, this is the cheapest route and I would use it.

With the SOLTidy wallet cleanup. I built SOLTidy's home page to collect everything a wallet is owed in one scan, and creator fees are part of it:

1. Open the wallet cleanup and connect the creator wallet.
2. Let the scan finish. The "pump.fun rewards" row shows "Creator fees · pump.fun" and "Creator fees · PumpSwap" as separate lines, with any cashback beside them.
3. Keep the row selected (it is selected for you, because a claim only moves SOL into your wallet) and press clean up.
4. Approve one transaction. It runs pump.fun's own collect_creator_fee and PumpSwap's collect_coin_creator_fee, opens a temporary wSOL account, receives the PumpSwap fees into it and closes it, so both arrive as plain SOL.

The fee is 5% of the amount the scan found, taken inside the same transaction. Anything that accrues between the scan and your signature arrives without a fee. On 2 SOL of creator fees that is 0.1 SOL. The point of using it is that the same scan also closes empty token accounts, claims cashback, withdraws stake and so on, so a creator who also trades does everything in one pass. If you only want the creator fees, pump.fun's own button costs less.

With code. The collect instructions are documented in pump.fun's public developer docs and SDKs. The newer v2 and AMM variants are permissionless, so anyone can trigger a payout, but the money still goes only to the creator. That makes scripting a regular sweep straightforward for anyone comfortable with the SDK.

Which creator fees can't you claim?

Several kinds of coins never pay creator fees into your vault, and no tool can claim what was never sent there:

• Cashback coins. The creator chose at launch to give the creator fee to traders as cashback. The choice is locked, and the fee lands in traders' volume accumulators instead. How that works is in pump.fun cashback explained.
• Holder rewards coins. Introduced in September 2026, these set the creator fee aside for the coin's holders and pump.fun pays it out to them. The creator has nothing to claim.
• Fee-sharing coins. A creator can move a coin to a sharing config that splits creator fees among a list of wallets by percentage. From then on fees are paid to each shareholder through pump.fun's fee program by a separate distribute instruction, and the plain collect instructions fail for that coin. SOLTidy does not run that distribution.
• Coins that migrated to Raydium. Before PumpSwap, graduated coins moved to Raydium, which pump.fun does not control, so Raydium trades pay no creator fee.
• Non-canonical PumpSwap pools. Only the pool pump.fun creates at migration pays a creator fee. Other PumpSwap pools for the same coin pay 0%.
• Trades before May 12, 2025. Creator fees did not exist before then.

One limit is specific to SOLTidy: its scan reads the SOL and wrapped SOL vaults, so creator fees from USDC-paired coins, which accrue in USDC, are not included. pump.fun documents a v2 collect instruction that pays those out in USDC.

Do claimed creator fees cost anything else?

Claiming costs a network fee of 5,000 lamports per signature plus any priority fee, and nothing else on chain. The fees themselves are income, and how they are taxed depends on where you live, which I cannot advise on. Keep the claim signatures; they are the record of what you received and when.

Creators also tend to accumulate the same rent clutter as traders: test buys, sold launches and dead coins each leave a token account holding about 0.0015 SOL. If that sounds familiar, reclaiming SOL after pump.fun trades covers the token accounts and volume accumulators, and the same home page scan handles them alongside the claim.

Bottom line

pump.fun creator fees are 0.30% of bonding curve volume and, at the time of writing, 0.05% to 0.95% of PumpSwap volume, held in one SOL vault and one wSOL vault per creator wallet until you claim them. Claim from your pump.fun profile for network fees only, or let the "pump.fun rewards" row of the SOLTidy wallet cleanup claim both vaults in one transaction for 5%, alongside everything else the scan finds. Cashback, holder rewards, fee-sharing and Raydium-migrated coins never pay into your vault, so if the number is zero, check how the coin was launched first.
