Today, I’m releasing my personal DB of KOL wallets, for FREE. I’ve gathered ~5,000 wallets and made it available on my website. A simple search bar: type a name and get Fomo and Pump wallets across all chains, with Ethos score 👇

I've been checking the Project Kimchi rug/hack, but I didn't want to add noise (there were already millions of threads). But I have an interesting finding about how the top traders operated. The team used a custom Solana program with weird mechanics 👇

5/ Conclusion What I know is that it was planned. But I have a lot of open questions about the methodology. > Why use a program with 10% fees without any clear advantage? I have a couple of theories: > It is an automatic way to give a share to "someone" who provides some info (e.g. early CAs, when they tweet) > It is a way to obfuscate the total profit a bit (the important wallet is the one receiving fees, not the top traders) > I am simply missing something really basic

If someone smarter than me can help me understand, this is the address of the program: 4sU1jEvygtLRgkSLcocRByHcUqHDTx93Gvd5P6giPJ74

Pumpfun released their new bridge. It will save $11k in a year with 13x fewer errors They also encourage people to double check, providing the dataset. I did it and they are not lying, just cherry picking 🧵

3/ What about the speed? That claim is accurate. I know you're all expecting a Pumpfun FUD tweet but I try to be as independent as possible. I actually think it was a good move to provide the dataset to double check . This thread is more about marketing tricks. They never lied.

4/ Nice! So we're all paying less now! Not quite. As you know, now Pumpfun takes a 0.45% fee when you trade. Following their 500$ example you're paying: • Before Oct 20: $0.05 • Now: $2.30 (~4.60 for a round trip) Not really good for users. Good for optimize pumpfun revenue

Sahil never stops grinding with rugs around celebrity meta. Last week he promoted a fake Fabrizio Romano token that rugged in 5 minutes for ~15k. Today he's back with the same exact playbook (he will make money again)

Finally a good news. Thank you president for this! Also it's quite smart to put "overseas scams" so we will avoid investigations on genuine projects like $TRUMP

I didn't expect that but I actually reached 2k followers. I believe it's just bots (maybe monitoring my X account) since I went to sleep with 5 followers and woke up with 2k. Let's see if something similar will happen with Fomo fomo.family/profile/dethecti…
Ok let me try an experiment. I created a new pumpfun profile: pump.fun/u/dethective Statistically having +2,000 followers got higher chance of getting a Rolex (on this small sample) If'll get there I'll open some packs

Also Ethan tried to get the Rolex with no luck :(
So today you opened X and everyone is getting a Rolex (Mitch got 2) 20 Rolexes were distributed, 11 went to KOLs It's time to address those questions: > Who really got a Rolex and who is larping? > Were KOLs statistically advantaged? Check the table and the experiment 🧵

I deleted the old one because I wasn't sure I shared the profile or the ref. That's just to let you know how much I am using pump That's the wallet: Hu6yGcWW6ZrtWRXzdJEYAAFn1JbD29nDM3bynKhXJ2Ri
