Check · Buying the pump
Pump and dump checks: see who is selling before you buy.
Trending lists and "smart money" feeds show what already went up. Often, the wallets that made the money are the ones selling to you.

A pump and dump crypto checker has one job: show you the other side of the trade before you take it. On Solana a token can rise several hundred percent in a day and give most of it back the next, and by the time it tops a trending list the earliest buyers are often the ones selling. SuperQuant's on-chain tools put that other side in front of you.
What it looks like
You see the pump. You don't see the exit.
- Trending lists rank prices you can no longer get.
- "Smart money" lists can rank wallets that profit by selling to later buyers.
- Thin liquidity, concentrated holders and risky token settings stay unchecked.
| Token | Day of the pump | Next day |
|---|---|---|
| TOKEN A | +640% | −95% |
| TOKEN B | +310% | −73% |
| TOKEN C | +280% | −34% |
| TOKEN D | +220% | +12% |

Why it happens
Why chasing trending tokens hurts
- LateTrending means already movedA top-gainers list is a list of entries that are gone.
- Exit liquiditySomeone has to buy the topEarly buyers need later buyers to sell to.
- UncheckedThe risk is on-chainLiquidity, holders and token settings are public, but few people look before buying.
In depth
How a pump and dump works
Early wallets accumulate a thinly traded token cheaply. Attention arrives through social posts, trending lists and "smart money" screenshots, and new buyers push the price up. The early wallets sell into that demand, the pool can't absorb the selling, and the price falls back, often far below where late buyers entered.
The warning signs are on-chain before the fall: liquidity small relative to market value, supply concentrated in a few wallets, risky token settings, and large holders turning from net buyers to net sellers while the price is still rising.
In depth
What to check before you buy a Solana token
Start with liquidity. In a pool holding tens of thousands of dollars, even a modest order moves the price, and selling into it later can cost more. Then look at holder concentration and security flags. Finally check flow: over the last hour, are large trades buying or selling?
None of these checks makes a memecoin safe. They show who is on the other side, so the decision is made with eyes open instead of from a trending list.
Worked example
Worked example: a token up 214%
Illustrative token, not live data.
| Price move | +214% in 24 hours |
|---|---|
| Liquidity | $84k, thin for the volume it is trading |
| Holders | Top wallets hold a concentrated share |
| Security flags | 1 warning |
| Net flow, last hour | Large trades net selling |
| What it means | Early holders appear to be distributing into the rally |
SuperQuant shows these facts; it does not tell you to buy or sell.

What on-chain research is, and what it is not
It does
- Shows public Solana activity and where it came from
- Leads with how often picked pump.fun tokens fell 50% or more
- Labels which wallet checks are verified and which are not
It won't
- Recommend buying any token or copying any wallet
- Call a wallet "smart" without the evidence
- Make memecoins safe; they carry a high risk of loss
SuperQuant is research and education software. It never places trades and is not financial advice. Trading perpetual futures carries a high risk of loss.
FAQ
Questions people ask
Is 3x Catchers a list of wallets to copy?
No. It is a daily public record of wallets that bought a graduated pump.fun token at a third of its graduation price or less, with quick flips excluded. It records what happened, not what will happen.
How are Smart Money wallets ranked?
On closed, profitable positions from their own on-chain history. Rankings appear only when the day's evidence checks pass, and each one is labelled with what was and wasn't verified. It is research, not a buy signal.
Which chains does it cover?
Solana only. SuperQuant focuses on Solana on-chain data and perpetual futures.
How do I spot a pump and dump on Solana?
Compare liquidity with trading volume, check holder concentration and token security flags, and look at whether large wallets are net buying or selling. When liquidity is thin and big holders sell into a rally, late buyers are usually providing the exit.
