Meme coin glossary
Plain-English meanings of the terms on MemeViewAI: signal, X gain, ATH, found MC, volume per minute, whales, freeze authority, bonding curve and more.
- Signal
- MemeViewAI's first alert about a token, sent when it starts trading actively. The price and market cap at that moment are kept for good and every gain is measured from them.
- X gain
- How many times the price grew after the signal: the highest price since the signal divided by the signal price. 3× means the price reached three times the signal price.
- ATH (all-time high)
- The highest price a token has reached since MemeViewAI started tracking it. "% vs ATH" shows how far today's price is below that high.
- Found MC
- The market cap at the moment of the first signal.
- Market cap (MC)
- The token's price multiplied by its supply: what all of its tokens are worth at today's price.
- Volume per minute
- How many US dollars of the token traded in an average minute. MemeViewAI lists tokens trading at least $1,000 a minute.
- Milestone
- A multiple of the signal price that a token reached: 2×, 5×, 10×, 25×, 50×, 100×, 250×, 500× or 1,000×. Each one sends a Telegram alert and is recorded on the token's milestone page.
- Whale
- A wallet worth $10K or more in total, counting SOL plus every token it holds. The Whales column counts these wallets among a token's 20 largest holders. Whale buys can move a small token's price a lot.
- A permission on a Solana token that lets its creator freeze holders' tokens so they can't be sold. MemeViewAI leaves out tokens where it is still switched on.
- A permission that lets the creator make more tokens, which can dilute holders. Rug Check shows whether it is still on.
- Bonding curve
- The launch stage on Pump.fun, where the price is set by a formula as people buy. When the curve fills, the token moves to a trading pool such as PumpSwap.
- Pump.fun
- A Solana launchpad where anyone can create a meme coin. New tokens start on its bonding curve.
- PumpSwap
- The Solana exchange where Pump.fun tokens trade after their bonding curve fills.
- Liquidity
- The money in a token's trading pool. Low liquidity means a single trade can move the price sharply and selling can be hard.
- Rug pull
- When a token's creators or insiders pull the liquidity or dump their tokens, leaving the price near zero.
- Contract address (CA)
- The token's unique address on the blockchain. Always check the address, not the name: copies of popular tokens use the same names.
- Meme-price notation
- A short way to write tiny prices: 0.0₄7901 means 0.00007901, where the small 4 counts the zeros after the decimal point.
- Volume spike
- A token trading at least $50,000 in an hour and at least 3× its average hourly volume. MemeViewAI sends a "Volume spike" alert when it happens.
- Peak X
- The highest multiple a token reached since MemeViewAI's first signal, the same as its X gain. The leaderboard ranks tokens by it.
- Rug Check score
- MemeViewAI's 0–100 safety score for a Solana token: under 40 High risk, 40–69 Caution, 70+ Low risk only when every source answered.
- Holder concentration
- How much of the supply the largest wallets hold, leaving out the liquidity pool. When the top 10 holders or one wallet hold more than 30%, a few people can crash the price.
- Sniper
- A wallet that buys in the first seconds after a token launches, often to sell into the first wave of buyers.
- Bundled buys
- Several buys in the token's launch block from wallets linked to each other, often the creator's. They can hide how much of the supply one group holds.
- Smart Money
- Wallets that were among the first 50 buyers of two or more Solana tokens MemeViewAI called that later reached 3× (last 90 days).
- KOL (key opinion leader)
- A crypto influencer. MemeViewAI shows how many known KOL wallets hold a token and how much of it they hold; Pro sees their names.
- DEX (decentralized exchange)
- An exchange that runs on the blockchain, such as PumpSwap or Raydium on Solana. Meme coins trade there before, or instead of, big exchanges.
- Slippage
- The gap between the price you expect and the price you get. Thin liquidity means higher slippage.
- Log scale
- A chart scale where equal steps mean equal percentage moves. It keeps a token that went from $0.0001 to $0.005 readable on one chart.
