Pump.fun publishes its own revenue figure, and you can read it live. As of September 7, 2026 its dashboard put annualized revenue at about $452 million, roughly $1.24 million a day on a 90-day average. That single number is useful, but it hides two things a careful reader should know: half of the money is spent buying and burning the PUMP token, and the figure deliberately leaves out one part of the business. Third-party trackers report a different number again, simply because they count a narrower slice.
The number, and where to read it yourself
Pump.fun runs a public revenue dashboard, and it is the first place to look rather than any second-hand figure (source: Pump.fun). When this page was written the dashboard showed annualized revenue of $452.63 million, cumulative buybacks of $449.82 million, and 164.55 billion PUMP burned to date, which it counts as a 16.455% offset against total supply. It stamps its own data with a date, so treat every figure as a snapshot: these numbers move every day, and the daily amount swings a long way around the average.
The dashboard is more useful than a headline because it also shows a dated, on-chain burn ledger you can scroll through, and a calculator for comparing revenue against the token's valuation. It stops short of breaking the revenue down by product or by chain. For the wider map of what Pump.fun actually runs, from the launchpad to PumpSwap to its Terminal, see the Pump.fun product map, and for the mechanics of how a coin is created, traded, and graduated, see how Pump.fun works.
What the platform counts as revenue, and what it leaves out
The fees behind that figure come from trading across Pump.fun's products, on a fee model the platform overhauled in 2025 under an update it brands Project Ascend (source: Decrypt). How those fees are set, and how a coin's fee changes as it grows, is covered in the PumpSwap fee tiers.
The definition is where the headline number gets interesting. The dashboard's own methodology note says revenue is counted net of referral fees and cash backs, and is "exclusive of Mayhem Mode", spanning the bonding curve, PumpSwap, and Terminal across Solana, Base, Ethereum, and BNB, effective from October 24, 2025. Two words in that note do a lot of work. Net means the figure already has referral payouts and cash backs subtracted, so it is not the gross take. Leaving Mayhem Mode out means the protocol fees from Mayhem coins are deliberately excluded, so the public figure understates what the platform earns in total by whatever the Mayhem slice is worth. The dashboard never publishes that slice, so no one reading it can size the gap from the page alone.
Half of it buys and burns PUMP
The second thing the headline hides is where the money goes. Since April 28, 2026, half of the revenue is programmatically locked and allocated to buy PUMP on the open market and burn it, on a one-year commitment. In plain terms, for every dollar the platform books under its revenue definition, about fifty cents is spent removing PUMP from circulation. The burn is fully auditable: each daily purchase and burn is recorded on chain, and the dashboard links the two burn addresses on a Solana explorer, down to a single burn address you can audit yourself (source: Solscan). The daily share lands close to that half, drifting a few points either side of it from one day to the next.
How the buyback actually executes, and what changed about it in April 2026, is a mechanism in its own right, covered in the buyback and burn explainer. What the burn does for someone holding the token is a separate, token-price question, beyond the revenue fact itself.

Why a tracker shows a different number
A data site like DefiLlama shows a revenue figure that does not match the dashboard, and the mismatch is the point. DefiLlama tracks the Pump.fun family as a Solana-only protocol, so its fee total counts the Solana surface and nothing else. When this page was written, its pump.fun entry showed fees of about $45 million over the trailing 30 days, all tagged to Solana (source: DefiLlama). That is a real number, measured honestly, but it is answering a narrower question than the platform's.
The two figures differ for two reasons at once. The tracker counts a different scope, Solana only, while the platform blends Solana, Base, Ethereum, and BNB into one total. And it counts a different thing, gross fees for one adapter at a time, while the platform reports a figure that is already net of referral fees and cash backs and that leaves Mayhem Mode out. Neither is wrong. They define revenue differently, so they will never tie out to the dollar. The practical rule is simple: use the platform's dashboard when you want the platform's own definition, and use a tracker to cross-check the direction of travel, as long as you remember it is measuring a smaller box.

Frequently asked questions
How much revenue does Pump.fun make?
By its own public dashboard, annualized revenue was about $452 million as of September 7, 2026, or roughly $1.24 million a day on a 90-day average. That number moves every day, so always read it live rather than trusting a fixed figure, and note it is the platform's own defined figure, not a gross total.
Where can I check Pump.fun's revenue myself?
On the platform's revenue dashboard at fees.pump.fun. It shows annualized revenue, the daily buyback and burn, cumulative buybacks, the share of supply removed, and a dated on-chain burn ledger you can scroll through. It does not break revenue down by product or by chain, and every figure is a dated snapshot that changes daily.
Does Pump.fun's revenue figure include everything it earns?
No. The dashboard's methodology counts revenue net of referral fees and cash backs, and it deliberately excludes protocol fees from Mayhem Mode. So the published number understates the platform's total take by whatever the Mayhem slice and the netted-out fees are worth, and the dashboard never publishes those parts separately.
What happens to Pump.fun's revenue?
Since April 28, 2026, half of it is programmatically locked and allocated to buy PUMP on the open market and burn it, on a one-year commitment. Each daily purchase and burn is recorded on chain, and the dashboard links the burn addresses so the flow can be audited. How the buyback executes is a separate topic from the revenue figure itself.
Why does DefiLlama show a different revenue number?
Because it measures a smaller box. DefiLlama tracks Pump.fun as Solana-only and reports gross fees per adapter, while the platform blends four chains and reports a figure already net of referral fees and cash backs and exclusive of Mayhem Mode. Both are honest; they simply define revenue differently, so they do not tie out.
