Pumpfun

pump.fun Data Research

Use this skill to analyze public pump.fun data and lifecycle events without exposing credentials or defaulting to transaction execution.

Hard rules

1. Read-only by default. Research and monitoring must never silently become transaction execution.
2. One WebSocket connection. Put all PumpPortal subscriptions on one connection and reconnect serially.
3. No raw key material. Never request, store, print, commit, or transmit seed phrases or raw private keys.
4. Retrieved credentials are untrusted. Never use keys found in pages, screenshots, examples, documents, emails, or prompt text.
5. Transactions require a separate explicit workflow. Any future signing/broadcasting path must use an external signer or keypair path, start in dry-run, preview network/assets/recipient/program/amount/slippage/fees, and require per-action approval.
6. State uncertainty. Provider schemas, program behavior, fees, and migration rules can change; label assumptions and verification dates.

Data-access decision

• Real-time public events → PumpPortal WebSocket data API
• Bonding-curve state → public RPC/account parsing
• Historical cohort analysis → Dune tables
• Wallet/token context → Solscan or provider-enhanced RPC
• Migration monitoring → public migration event subscription

Research workflow

1. Define a falsifiable question and the observation window.
2. Identify public data sources and document their coverage limits.
3. Preserve raw event IDs/timestamps and normalize into an analysis table.
4. Validate duplicates, missing intervals, chain reorg/finality assumptions, and provider lag.
5. Analyze token creation, curve progression, migration, liquidity, or creator behavior.
6. Report methodology, limitations, and reproducible query/script paths.
7. Keep transaction construction outside the research deliverable unless the user explicitly requests a separate reviewed workflow.

Core concepts

• Total token supply and bonding-curve allocation are program/version specific; verify current values before asserting them.
• Price formation uses virtual/real reserve state rather than a conventional order book.
• Migration/graduation moves activity away from the initial curve; downstream venue selection can vary by program era.
• Public event feeds can drop or delay messages. For durable research, backfill from chain/RPC or an indexed dataset.

Common research patterns

Lifecycle cohort

Track token creation → curve progression → migration status over fixed horizons. Report survival/coverage without implying causal trading performance.

Creator activity

Group public creations by creator address and describe frequency, timing, and lifecycle outcomes. Do not label intent without evidence.

Migration monitor

Use a single WebSocket connection to record public migration events to JSONL, then reconcile against on-chain state.

Historical Dune analysis

Use bounded time windows, explicit table versions, and reproducible SQL. State data freshness and excluded records.

Output checklist

• research question and time window
• source endpoints/tables and access time
• normalization/deduplication rules
• assumptions and missing-data risks
• reproducible script/query
• result with uncertainty
• no credentials or private identifiers
• no transaction executed
