# Fee Sharing
## **Creators on Pumpkin earn SOL on every trade**
The novel architecture of Pumpkin allows creators to earn a consistent 80% of buy-side fees forever—from bonding curve through Raydium graduation and beyond. While other platforms now share fees with creators, those percentages decay dramatically as tokens grow, dropping to ⅙ of the initials at higher market caps. On Pumpkin, your 80% never changes.

Pumpkin’s model gives creators a steady, **non-decaying** income stream, so their earnings stay sustainable as they grow—instead of being penalized with a smaller share of fees the more successful they become on other platforms.
### **How does it work?**
Pumpkin shares **80%** of all trading fees collected on the platform with the creator aligning the creator’s long-term interests with the token’s success, allowing them to focus on building a community rather than dumping their bags for a quick profit.\

For example, if **USELESS COIN** launched on Pumpkin, it could earn an impressive **$1.7 million** from trading fees alone for it's creator.
We’ve seen in recent times that celebrities often dump their tokens for a quick profit. But with Pumpkin, they don’t need to do that. Instead, they can use the platform to launch their token and earn lifetime trading revenue, all while building long-term value.
With Pumpkin, the possibilities are endless.
