Pump.fun Hidden Fee Controversy

Pump.fun buried a new 0.45% app fee inside a '$50 free referral bonus' announcement, after promoting 0% fees for its entire history. CT traders called it deceptive.

What we know

FabianoSolana calls out Pump.fun for disguising a significant fee hike (0% → 0.45%) inside a promotional referral bonus thread — a move described as deliberately burying the lede. He also critiques Jupiter for never building a social trading app despite having the best infrastructure on Solana, framing it as a major missed opportunity.
