Holder coins and creator coins
The difference between holder and creator coins, and exactly how each venue splits the fees.
The difference
- Holder coin. Most of the trading fees go to the coin's holders, as rewards.
- Creator coin. Part of the trading fees go to the coin's creator. Holders get no rewards.
A coin's mode is set at launch and never changes.

|---|---|---|
| Holder coins | Yes (every new coin) | Yes |
| Creator coins | No | Yes |
pump.fun coins
pump.fun charges its own fee on every trade, plus a creator fee. pump.fun's fee stays with pump.fun. The creator fee is locked to WeBall at launch and can't be changed after. WeBall claims it and currently uses it like this:
| Of every claimed creator fee | Share |
|---|---|
| The coin's holders | 70% |
| WeBall | 12% |
| WeBall AI | 3% |
| Buy and burn $BALL | 10% |
| Whoever referred the creator, or $BALL liquidity if there's none | 5% |
- A partner referrer gets 7.5% instead of 5%. The extra 2.5 points come out of WeBall's share, so WeBall keeps 9.5% on those coins.
- There are no creator fees on new pump.fun coins.
- Older pump.fun coins keep the split they launched with.
Meteora coins
Meteora takes 20% of every trading fee. WeBall claims the other 80%. The split below is of that claimed 80%.
Fee rates
- Holder coins: you pick 1%, 2% or 3%.
- Creator coins: fixed at 1%.
Split of the claimed fee
| Mode | Holders | Creator | WeBall |
|---|---|---|---|
| Holder | 85% | — | 15% |
| Creator | — | 50% | 50% |
WeBall's share
WeBall's share is currently used like this:
| Of WeBall's share | Share |
|---|---|
| Buy and burn $BALL | 20% |
| WeBall AI credits | 10% |
| Running the platform | 70% |
If the creator was referred, the referrer gets 10% of WeBall's share on that coin's trades. It comes out of WeBall's part only.
How creators are paid
- Your share is sent to you automatically, in SOL or the paired token.
- It's sent once it reaches 0.02 SOL, or after a day, whichever comes first.
- It's paid during the curve and after graduation, whether or not the coin graduates.
- You never claim anything.
- At launch you can split your share across up to 5 wallets, in whole percentages adding to 100.
In holder mode, creators earn nothing from fees
Your stake is your own coins, such as a first buy.
Not financial advice. Memecoins can go to zero.
