2 CHANGES TO THE PUMP FUN MECHANISM (IN BETA)

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Two significant updates are being introduced to the pump fun mechanism in beta. First, coin creation is now free, with the cost being transferred to the first buyer instead of the creator. Second, coin creators will receive 0.5 SOL (around $80) once their coin completes its bonding curve, providing a financial incentive for developers to achieve 100% completion.
