For many crypto holders, sitting on coins whose developers have abandoned the project can feel frustrating.
The platform recently launched a system called Creator Fees for Community Takeovers (CTO). This allows eligible communities to redirect creator fees to new leaders who have kept the project alive. This new feature empowers communities to take control of abandoned tokens and reward those actively supporting the project.
To be eligible for redirecting creator fees, projects must still be operating on PumpSwap’s bonding curve or have migrated to PumpSwap. Unfortunately, projects that moved to Raydium before March 20th, 2025, are not eligible because PumpFun cannot control those smart contracts.
What determines a valid community takeover leader? Simply put, there must be clear and undeniable proof that the community would not survive without the CTO lead or leads. If there is any dispute or conflict over who deserves the fees, the redirection will not happen. PumpFun emphasizes they will not intervene in disagreements, meaning only cases with transparent, undisputed leadership will qualify. Fake CTO claims are strictly rejected.
If you believe you meet the criteria, the next step is to fill out the official application form. A team member will then contact you via email from cto@pump.fun to verify your claim or inform you of the application’s outcome. Note that unsolicited emails to this address could harm your chances, so only respond when contacted.
An example of this is ChillHouse. Chillhouse has officially undergone a Community Takeover (CTO), with all future creator rewards now redirected to @RiccoRosas—the driving force behind the ChillHouse X account. Ricco has been posting daily through every market shift, farm zone, and even during steep 80% drawdowns.
His unmatched dedication, sometimes reaching over 200 posts in a single day, kept the community engaged and the vision alive. Without his effort, Chillhouse wouldn’t be where it is today.
