Meme coin research: what the data shows
Original measurements across every coin Whodl has scanned: survival, concentration, bundling, copycats and what normal looks like.
- How long does a memecoin pump last? When the high came after the first scan
Whodl checks every scanned coin 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days and 7 days after its first scan. Here is when the highest price came, measured across those checks, and what that means for timing a buy.
- Can a bundled coin still run? How often bundled coins recover
Bundled supply at launch does not doom a coin, but it changes the odds. Measured outcomes for coins with heavy same-block supply versus coins with almost none, and what separates the bundled coins that kept going.
- Mention spike vs holder growth: which one leads the price?
When X posts about a coin grow faster than its holders, attention is running ahead of buyers. What Whodl's Hype Gap measures, and how coins with a wide or narrow gap moved over the next day.
- 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.
- What is a good holder to market cap ratio for a memecoin?
Holders per $100k of market cap shows whether a coin's value is spread across many wallets or carried by a few. The measured range across the coins Whodl has checked, how to compute it, and what moves it.
- Why does a coin pump after the dev sells?
It sounds backwards, but a dev selling can remove the biggest cheap supply hanging over a coin. The supply overhang logic, measured outcomes for coins where the dev sold versus held, and what to check before reading a dev sale as good news.
- Dev sold vs dev holds: which is worse for a memecoin?
Dev sold" gets a coin dumped on sight, but a dev sitting on 20% of the supply is the larger risk. How Whodl measures dev selling, fee claims and dev-linked supply, how often each happens across the coins it has checked, and what happened to those coins afterward.
- Does paying DEX Screener help a coin? What the holders did after the payment
DEX paid" is treated as a bullish signal. Whodl times every paid listing, boost and community takeover against the coin's holders and price. How long after launch coins pay, how many of the top wallets were in before the payment, and how paid coins performed against unpaid ones.
- Fresh wallets vs established wallets: what the mix of buyers tells you
A coin bought by wallets created yesterday is a different coin from one bought by wallets with years of history. How Whodl classifies a fresh wallet, traces where its SOL came from, how much supply fresh wallets hold across the coins it has checked, and what that meant a week later.
- How many holders should a new memecoin have? The measured answer
Holder count is the first number on every screener and the easiest to fake. The median holder count across coins Whodl has checked, holders per $100k of market cap, how many holders are dust, and why holder quality beats holder count.
- How much bundled supply is normal? Measured across every coin Whodl has checked
Traders ask how much bundled supply is too much and get opinions. These are the measured numbers, across the coins Whodl has checked, for same-block supply at launch, the bands most coins fall into, and how bundled coins went on to perform.
- How much liquidity is enough for a memecoin? Measured against who can sell into it
Liquidity only means something next to the supply that can be sold into it. Median pool depth across coins Whodl has checked, how often the top 10 wallets hold more than the pool, and the modelled price drop if they sell.
- What percent of new Solana coins survive a week? Whodl's running count
How the coins Whodl has checked performed a week or more after their first scan: the share that at least doubled, the share that lost 80% or more, and how bundles, dev selling, fresh wallets and paid listings changed the odds.
