Solana memecoin glossary: the terms PumpStriker uses

Launchpad

A platform where anyone can create a token that starts trading at once, usually on a bonding curve. Pump.fun is one of them.

In PumpStriker: The Engine considers only tokens from Pump.fun (including PumpSwap and Mayhem launches), Bags, LetsBonk and Jupiter Studio, and drops a token known to be more than a day old on its curve or pool.

Bonding curve

A pricing formula that sets a token's price from how much of its supply has been bought: each buy moves the price up the curve and each sell moves it down. On pump.fun, a new token trades on its bonding curve until the curve completes; the token then graduates to a liquidity pool.

In PumpStriker: While a token is still on the pump.fun bonding curve, PumpStriker trades it directly on pump.fun, with the transaction built locally, checked and simulated before signing.

Graduation (migration)

The moment a launchpad token leaves its bonding curve and its liquidity moves to a regular trading pool, where trading continues.

In PumpStriker: For a migrated token, the Engine counts the token's age from its pool. Graduated tokens are traded through Jupiter.

PumpSwap

pump.fun's own automated market maker, where tokens that graduate from a pump.fun bonding curve keep trading in a liquidity pool.

In PumpStriker: PumpSwap tokens count as Pump.fun tokens in the Engine's launchpad scope.

Market cap

A token's price multiplied by its supply: a quick measure of its size, not of its quality.

In PumpStriker: Your filters can set a minimum and a maximum market cap in USD, and safety kill K12 removes tokens under $5,000.

Liquidity

The value available in a token's pool or curve for trades to draw on. The lower it is, the more a trade of a given size moves the price.

In PumpStriker: Unknown liquidity, liquidity under 2% of market cap or a pool under $1,000 closes every auto-buy tier, and unknown liquidity fails any liquidity bound you set.

Rug pull

A scam in which a token's creators or insiders drain its liquidity or sell a large holding at once, leaving other holders with a token they can barely sell.

In PumpStriker: PumpStriker uses rug-pull safeguards that reduce the risk: checks before a signal, guards before a buy and exits after it. No tool can remove rug risk.

Honeypot

A token built so that buyers can buy it but cannot sell it, or can sell only at a punishing cost.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K1 removes a token that GMGN reports as a honeypot, and K2 removes a token that cannot be sold. An unknown result never kills; it is re-checked for 5 minutes after the signal.

Mint authority

The right to create new units of a token. While it is live, its holder can add supply at any time; once it is renounced, the supply is fixed.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K4 removes a token whose mint authority is not renounced. If it is unknown, the signal is marked safety pending.

Freeze authority

The right to freeze token accounts, so that their owners can no longer move or sell the token.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K5 removes a token whose freeze authority is not renounced. If it is unknown, the signal is marked safety pending.

Sell tax

A fee that a token takes from every sell, so you receive less than the trade's value.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K6 removes a token with a sell tax of 10% or more. An unknown sell tax marks the signal safety pending.

Top-10 holder share

The share of a token's supply held by its ten largest holders. A high share means a few wallets can move the price a lot.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K10 removes a token whose ten largest holders hold 50% or more, as GMGN reports it. An unknown share marks the signal safety pending.

Dev wallet

The wallet that created a token, also called the creator wallet.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K9 removes a token whose creator wallet holds more than 25%.

Wash trading

Trading a token back and forth, often between related wallets, to make volume and interest look larger than they are.

In PumpStriker: Safety kill K11 removes a token flagged for wash trading.

Slippage

The difference between the price you expect when you send a trade and the price at which it fills. A slippage limit is the largest difference you accept; beyond it, the trade fails instead of filling.

In PumpStriker: One global slippage setting (default 3%, allowed 0.1 to 50%) covers sells, exits and auto-buy, with a per-token override. Manual buys use automatic slippage.

Price impact

How much your own trade moves the price, because it takes liquidity out of the pool or curve.

In PumpStriker: Auto-buy refuses routes above a 15% price impact by default. Manual trades have no impact cap.

Priority fee

An optional extra fee on a Solana transaction that makes validators more likely to include it quickly when the network is busy.

In PumpStriker: The standard lane uses a fixed fee (default 100,000 lamports, allowed 0 to 5,000,000). pump.fun direct buys and sells use Helius' live fee estimate by default.

MEV

Maximal extractable value: value that can be taken from other people's trades by reordering, inserting or copying transactions around them, for example by bots that watch for pending trades.

In PumpStriker: Optional Anti-MEV mode, off by default, sends trades through Helius Sender with a 0.0002 SOL tip, for all tokens or per token.

Sandwich attack

A kind of MEV in which a bot buys just before your trade and sells just after it, so your trade fills at a worse price and the bot keeps the difference.

In PumpStriker: A tighter slippage limit narrows how far the price can move against your trade. PumpStriker itself does not promise that a trade cannot be sandwiched.

Jupiter

A Solana swap aggregator that finds a route for a trade across many liquidity sources.

In PumpStriker: PumpStriker routes every token that is not on the pump.fun bonding curve through Jupiter, with your own Jupiter API key, and simulates the route before signing.

Take-profit

An order that sells some or all of a position when the price reaches a target above your entry.

In PumpStriker: The default exit plan sells 30% at 2x, 30% at 3x and 20% at 5x of the original position. Your own presets allow up to 3 take-profits per grade.

Stop-loss

An order that sells a position when the price falls to a level you set below your entry.

In PumpStriker: Your own presets allow a stop-loss of 1 to 95% per grade. Buys from /buy, a pasted address or a token card get a floor 25% below the first price the exit engine reads.

Trailing stop

A stop that follows the price up: it arms at a set rise and sells when the price falls a set share below its highest point since then.

In PumpStriker: In the default exit plan it arms at a 1.5x peak and exits at 60% of the peak. In your own presets it arms after 0 to 10,000% and trails 1 to 95% under the peak.

Self-custody

Holding your own wallet keys, so that only you can move your funds.

In PumpStriker: You run PumpStriker on your own computer or VPS. Your wallet keys are stored encrypted only on your machine, and every trade is signed there.

Private key and seed phrase

The secrets that control a wallet. Anyone who has either one can move everything in that wallet.

In PumpStriker: Bathyr Devs never asks for them. Only your own bot's /import step, in your private chat, takes a key, and the bot deletes that message at once.

wSOL (wrapped SOL)

SOL held in a token account as an SPL token, so programs that work with tokens can use it. Unwrapping turns it back into plain SOL.

In PumpStriker: The bot's wallet menu shows SOL and wSOL balances and can wrap SOL or unwrap all wSOL.

Rent

A refundable deposit of SOL that every Solana account, including each token account, holds to stay open. Closing an empty token account returns its rent.

In PumpStriker: After a full exit, the bot closes the empty token account and returns its rent. The Get Your UnclaimedSol button runs a read-only scan of older accounts; claims happen on UnclaimedSol's own page, UnclaimedSol charges a fee on claims, and the bot signs nothing for them. UnclaimedSol is a partner, so claims made through that button may earn Bathyr Devs a referral share.

Smart money

Wallets that a data provider labels as smart money, usually because of their past trading activity on chain. The label is the provider's, and it says nothing certain about the next trade.

In PumpStriker: The Engine watches what wallets GMGN labels smart money or KOL are buying. A signal needs at least three distinct tracked wallets buying the same token within 30 minutes.

KOL

Key opinion leader: a known trader or influencer whose wallet is public and followed by others.

In PumpStriker: The Engine reads GMGN's KOL trade feed next to its smart-money feed, and signal cards show how many tracked smart-money and KOL wallets bought.

GMGN

A Solana trading-data platform with an API for trade feeds, token facts, security checks, pools and price candles.

In PumpStriker: GMGN is the Engine's only token-data source. The Engine reads the GMGN OpenAPI with your own API key, and GMGN allows one consumer per IP address.

Fire line

PumpStriker's published rule for a signal: at least three distinct tracked smart-money buyers of one token within 30 minutes, plus at least 20 SOL bought or a strong buying burst. Meeting it is the same as a score of 85 or more.

Score and tiers

A 0 to 100 rule score from published point rules, with the tiers ULTRA, STRONG, WATCH and NONE. A token needs 85 or more to become a signal; the score is a rule label, not a probability.

Grade (A, B or C)

PumpStriker's sorting label for a signal, frozen at the decision: which auto-buy safety tier it passed. A passed every tier inside the $10k to $25k market-cap band, B passed the B1 tier but not B2, and C is everything else. A grade is information, not a forecast.

Safety kill

One of eleven hard rules, K1 to K12 (there is no K7), that remove a token before any card is sent: for example a honeypot, live mint or freeze authority, a sell tax of 10% or more, or a market cap under $5,000. A killed token is recorded and never sent.

Safety pending

The mark a signal gets when its mint authority, freeze authority, sell tax or top-10 holder share is unknown. It gives grade C, closes every auto-buy tier and is hidden in Telegram at the default setting.

Retro-kill

PumpStriker's second look: for 5 minutes after a signal, safety facts that were still unknown are re-checked. If one now fails, one cancel goes out and a position that auto-buy opened in that token is sold.

Launch run

A young token that already trades far above its launch price. In PumpStriker, a token under 60 minutes old that already trades 3x or more above its launch price is never marked for Telegram, never auto-bought and gets no card for 30 days.

Dry run

A mode in which auto-buy runs virtual positions on real quotes and never sends a transaction. PumpStriker's auto-buy is off by default and starts in dry run.

Hard-rug exit

An exit that sells everything at once when the price collapses between two closely spaced checks; for your own buys this is 40% between checks up to 60 s apart. It is always kept, whatever exit plan you set.

Anti-MEV mode

An optional PumpStriker setting, off by default, that sends trades through Helius Sender with a 0.0002 SOL tip, for all tokens or per token.
