pump.fun and launchpads: how coins launch and what happens next
How pump.fun and the other launchpads work, graduation, dev fees and how launchpad coins compare.
- Dev fee claims on pump.fun: what they are and how to track them
Launchpads pay coin creators a share of trading fees, and devs claim it in SOL. How creator fee claims work, how often devs on scanned coins claim, where the SOL goes, and why claims are worth watching.
- pump.fun vs LetsBonk vs Bags vs Believe: which launchpad's coins have cleaner holders?
Launchpad comparisons usually cover fees and features. This one compares the holders, using Whodl's scans of coins from each launchpad: bundled supply, top 10 share, dev holdings, fresh wallets and what happened after.
- How a Solana memecoin launch works, from bonding curve to Raydium
The life of a Solana memecoin in its first day: creation on a launchpad, the bonding curve, snipers and bundles, migration to a DEX pool, the DEX Screener listing, and the moments where holders change hands. What to check at each stage.
- Pons vs Pools.trade: the launchpads on Robinhood Chain
Most Robinhood Chain memecoins come from two launchers. Pons, the chain's largest launchpad with its own PONS token, and Pools.trade, Uniswap Labs' launcher with locked liquidity in Uniswap v4 pools. How each works, what it protects you from, and what it does not.
- Sniper vs bundler: what's the difference, and which one hurts holders
Snipers buy within seconds of a launch with bots; bundlers buy in the first block through wallets they control. How Whodl tells them apart on chain, how common each is across the coins it has checked, and which one to worry about.
- What is a bundled wallet in crypto?
Bundled wallets buy a coin in the same block through one transaction bundle, usually at launch. How bundles work on Solana, how to spot them, and how much bundled supply is a problem.
