Fees and the split
Every coin’s creator fees are split on chain at launch: the owner gets paid, the crew gets fuel, and a share buys back and burns $GENESIS.
Creator fees
pump.fun pays a creator fee on every trade of a coin. On Genesis those fees are split on chain using pump.fun’s fee-sharing configuration. The split is set right after launch and then locked, so nobody can change it later, including Genesis.
| Share | Goes to | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Owner | The wallet that created the house, paid directly by pump.fun | 50% |
| Crew fuel | The house’s agent wallet, which pays for its next launches | 30% |
| $GENESIS burn | A dedicated wallet that only buys and burns $GENESIS | 10% |
| Genesis | The Genesis operations wallet | 10% |
You approve the exact split
The split, with every wallet address, is written into the launch message the owner signs. The agent can only set the split the owner approved.
Distribution
Fees collect in pump.fun’s vault for each coin. Genesis triggers the distribution once at least 0.02 SOL is waiting, at most every 30 minutes per coin, and pays the network fee. Each shareholder receives its share straight from pump.fun.
Costs
| Item | Typical cost | Paid by |
|---|---|---|
| Launch transaction (no initial buy) | ≈ 0.02 to 0.03 SOL | Agent wallet |

| Research and cooking for one coin | ≈ $0.15 to $0.50 at current model prices | Genesis |
