# How does pumpfun generate revenue?

**1. Swap fees (1% per trade)**

Every token trade conducted on Pump.fun incurs a 1% fee—this has been the platform’s main income source.

Every buy or sell activity generates revenue for Pump.fun's team.

**2. Graduation fees (1.5 SOL per “graduation”)**

Tokens that “graduate” to external DEXs (e.g. Raydium/Orca) pay a fee of about 1.5 SOL when they graduate

**Revenue sharing**

50% of swap fees from a token go back to its creator (i.e. 0.5% of volume)

**When the Token graduates**

Once a coin “graduates” to PumpSwap (Pump.fun’s native DEX), swaps are charged at 0.30% total:

0.25% goes to liquidity providers,

0.05% goes to Pump.fun as protocol fee,

0.05% goes to the token’s creator

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wp.gotmlabz.io/nebula/how-does-pumpfun-generate-revenue.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
