Questions
Short answers. If yours isn't here, just ask us.
What is a clone war?
When a ticker trends, a bunch of people launch a coin with the same ticker within minutes, on pump.fun and on Raydium LaunchLab. That's a clone war: 3 or more coins with the same ticker fighting for the same buyers. Usually one ends up with the money and the rest die.
Does PVP cover Raydium too?
Yes. Coins launched on Raydium LaunchLab (letsbonk.fun, StonkFun, Float, VOLT and the others) join the same wars as pump.fun coins, with the same rules. Every clone shows where it was launched: a pump.fun badge or a LaunchLab badge with its launchpad. When the same ticker trades on both, the war says "Same ticker on pump.fun and Raydium": that's exactly when people buy the wrong one, so check the CA. The buy button always opens the right platform. LaunchLab coins quoted in USDC or another token are not tracked yet.
Is PVP free?
Yes. The site, the Telegram bot and the alerts are free. No account, no wallet connect.
How is the Leader chosen?
With fixed rules that are the same for every war: volume share, wallet flow, real buyers, bonding curve progress and sell pressure. A clone only becomes Leader when it's at least 1.5× the #2 for 3+ minutes with no red flag. Full details on how the score works.
Why is there no CA to copy?
Because no clone clearly leads. When two clones are close, when everything is dead or when the war is too young, we'd rather show nothing than guess. The war page tells you why in one line.
The OG lost. Is that possible?
Yes, all the time. OG only means it launched first. The money often goes to a later clone with a better dev, better links or more buyers.
What do Rugged and K.O. mean?
K.O. means the clone died on its bonding curve (dumped or abandoned). Rugged means a real rug after migrating (−90% in minutes, the pool drained, or the dev dumped). Dumped (−90% within the hour) and Died (bled out over hours) are out too, but we never call them rugs. Never use the CA of an out or K.O. clone. Its page says so and points you to the war's leader or winner when there is one.
What does Winner mean?
After migration, it's the clone that holds the biggest market cap, at least 1.5× the next migrated one. It tells you what happened, not what happens next.
Does PVP hold or trade these coins?
No. PVP holds no coins of live wars and the team never trades coins of a live war. There is no PVP token.
How does PVP make money?
Some trading buttons are referral links (the platform shares part of its fees, at no extra cost to you). Paid spots for devs are not open yet: they will open when PVP has a real audience, always marked "Sponsored". Nothing ever changes a score or a war page. See the risk warning.
Can a dev pay to be Leader?
No, never. Paid spots (once they open) only appear at the bottom of the homepage and on the channel, marked "Sponsored". War pages have no ads.
Where does the data come from?
Public on-chain data: pump.fun and Raydium LaunchLab launches and migrations, Solana RPC (curves, holders, trades), then PumpSwap, Raydium and DexScreener after migration. The status page shows what is connected right now.
How fast is it?
A new war shows up within seconds of the 3rd clone launching, and war pages update live. If the data is late or a feed is down, a banner tells you.
I pasted a link and it worked. What links work?
Any link with a CA in it: pump.fun, Raydium, DexScreener, Axiom, GMGN, Photon, Solscan, Birdeye and others. Or paste the CA or the $TICKER directly.
I think a verdict is wrong.
