Pump.fun memecoin launchpad has introduced a new restriction allowing token creators to change their fee distribution settings only once in the post-launch period. According to a post on X by Pump.fun co-founder Alon Cohen, this update aims to reduce griefing and manipulation related to fee routing. The opportunity to route fees to a different wallet for each token can be used only once, after which the setting is permanently locked.

This change comes after the comprehensive revision announced in January and the Cashback Coins model introduced in February. In that model, creators choose whether fees go to them or to traders at launch, and this top-level model is locked, but wallet settings could be changed post-launch. The new rule increases platform reliability by preventing manipulative wallet changes. Griefing, i.e., malicious users constantly changing fees to disrupt liquidity, is prevented this way.
