⚡️ Inside the Insider Game on Pump.fun: How Meme Coins Are Farmed

Pine Analytics analyzed Solana meme tokens and uncovered a recurring pattern: deployers pre-fund sniper wallets that buy the token in the same block it's created — something nearly impossible via organic trading due to Solana’s lack of a public mempool.

✅ Key Takeaways:

• Over the past month, 15K+ SOL in realized profit came from 15K+ tokens, using 4,600 sniper wallets and 10,400 deployers

• 87% of these sniper trades were profitable

• 50%+ of Pump.fun tokens are sniped at deploy

• Tactics include multi-wallet networks, stealth transfers, multisigs, and one-time wallets

• Most tokens are sold within minutes — 55% in under a minute, 85% in under 5

• Top profits come from fast exits, not long holds

❓When does it happen?

Activity spikes between 14:00–23:00 UTC, aligning with US time zones — suggesting manual coordination

❓What can be done?

Platforms could flag sniper-linked wallets, show early activity metrics, and highlight red flags like early wallet concentration, fast exits, or known deployer-sniper ties. Transparency is key to spotting the game.
