Pump.fun Releases CTO Creator Fee Application Guide

Foresight News reports that Pump.fun has announced the launch of an application process for community takeover (CTO) creator fees. All projects still bound to the bonding curve or those that have migrated to PumpSwap may be eligible to redirect creator fees to another wallet address. However, tokens that have migrated to Raydium (i.e., those migrated before March 20, 2025) are not eligible for redirection, as the smart contract is no longer under Pump.fun’s control.

A valid community takeover requires indisputable evidence that the community cannot survive without a takeover lead (CTO). If there is reasonable dispute over who is entitled to the creator fees, the fees will not be redirected. Pump.fun will not intervene in disputes; the situation must be very clear, and fraudulent community takeovers will not be permitted. To apply for CTO creator fees, the relevant form must be completed, and team members will contact applicants via email to ask further questions or inform them of the application outcome.
