# Bankr founder launchpad pays creators while pump.fun meme launchpad offers no fees

*Bankr’s launchpad gives creators fee share, funding and events; pump.fun’s launchpad provides no such support.*

Bankr’s launchpad pays creators a share of trading fees, vests part of the token supply, funds a $20,000 demo-day prize and runs a hackathon, while pump.fun’s launchpad lists tokens on a bonding curve and does not describe any creator compensation.

Every trade on a Bankr-launched token incurs a 0.7% pool swap fee, and 95% of that fee (0.665% of trading volume) goes directly to the creator, according to Bankr’s documentation. The creator can claim the amount at any time. A further 0.285% LP fee remains locked as liquidity in the token’s pool, making the all-in swap fee 1.75%.

Bankr’s founder, who posts as @0xDeployer, said on February 24, 2026, that creators had earned almost $10 million in creator fees on Bankr coins, quoting the platform’s updated dashboard. On September 24, 2026, the same account posted that Bankr earned $1.44 million over seven days, with 30% of that amount going to $BNKR stakers.

Creators can redirect their fee share to collaborators, a treasury or partners, either at deployment or afterward. Bankr’s documentation says fee schedules are fixed at launch and never change retroactively, so earlier tokens keep the schedule they launched with. Beneficiary transfers are permanent, and only the current beneficiary can claim.

Bankr’s documentation states that 15% of supply vests to the creator over one year with a 30-day cliff. For the first five minutes after a launch, no wallet may hold more than 2% of supply, an anti-sniping rule that limits a single buyer’s opening position.

According to the founder’s post, 30% of launch revenue was allocated to $BNKR staking rewards on September 22, 2026, with the funds already accumulating and a staking contract expected by the end of that week. The revenue share is used to buy $BNKR on the open market, with purchased tokens deposited into the staking contract. The annual percentage yield and the duration of the arrangement were not disclosed.

Bankr relocated its Runtime Hackathon to a larger Williamsburg venue after 312 sign-ups, moving to admit developers from the waitlist. Runtime Agent Week ran in New York City and online from September 14 to September 19, 2026, and its demo day carried a $20,000 grand prize funded by Bankr. Four sponsor tracks added separate pools: $2,000 from Dynamic, $2,500 in $FLY from Blackbird, $1,000 from Definitive Flash, and $1,000 from Uniswap.

pump.fun’s site says anyone can create coins with equal access to buy and sell from the start and warns that prices can move quickly. It describes no creator support, funding, events or fee share for builders.

Virtuals’ whitepaper describes agent tokenization with trial-based 60-day launches, a 42,000 $VIRTUAL graduation threshold and 10-year LP locks. The whitepaper does not state a creator fee share, funding for builders or an events program.
