D

A coin with no volume, no bid and no community left. The default end state of most launches.

Short for degenerate. Someone who takes outsized, often poorly researched risks on volatile coins, usually on purpose and usually proudly.

The wallet that created the token. Checking what else the deployer has launched is the fastest way to spot a serial rugger.

Whoever deployed the coin. On Pump.fun this usually means the creator wallet, not a developer in any technical sense.

The amount of supply the creator buys in the same transaction as the launch. A large dev buy means the dev can dump on everyone.

Approval for a dev who did something good or bold, like locking fees, staying active or not dumping.

The creator wallet has sold its tokens. Usually the end of the coin, occasionally the start of a CTO.

The coin's team has paid for an enhanced token profile on DEX Screener. Shows some spending, proves nothing about quality.

A chart and token data site used by almost everyone to look up a coin's price, liquidity and pairs.

Holding through drawdowns without selling. Admired when it works, ignored when it rides to zero.

A price drop that buyers hope is temporary. Buying the dip works until the dip is the rest of the chart.

A malicious site or transaction that empties your wallet once you approve it. Often hidden behind fake airdrops, fake mints or cloned sites.

Heavy selling that pushes price down hard. Also the act of selling a big position all at once.

A position or wallet balance so small it is basically worthless. Often what is left after a rug.

Do your own research. The disclaimer attached to every shill.
