2,493 coins on @Pumpfun hit $100k market cap last week. 90% are dead: back under $7k, zero volume. half of them were dead 40 minutes after hitting 100k. > 60% dead within the hour > 82% within a day > 89% within 3 days here's how the typical one lives and dies: 1. created and bonded in the same block. the dev buys out the whole bonding curve and migrates it in the same slot. 2. hits 100k in its first minute on pumpswap (71% of them). 3. peaks ~15 minutes later, around $400k. 4. dies 7 minutes after the peak. 89% lost 90%+ of their value in a single minute. and the few that get there the slow way live: > same-block launches: half dead 36 min after 100k > coins that bonded 10+ min after creation: half still alive after 2.4 days before you ape, check one thing: was it created and bonded in the same block? if yes, you're not early. you're the exit liquidity.
