How to read a war
Same ticker, lots of clones, one winner. Here's how to read a war page in 30 seconds.
A war is 3+ coins with the same ticker
When a ticker trends, people launch copies within minutes, on pump.fun and on Raydium LaunchLab. PVP groups every coin with the same ticker (lookalike letters included, like BR0KE and BROKE), whatever the platform, into one war and tracks each one: money in, buyers, bonding curve and sells.
Each clone shows where it was launched. When the same ticker trades on both platforms, the war says so: that's when people buy the wrong one.
The labels
Each clone shows the labels our rules give it right now. Every label has its own icon and color, the same everywhere on the site.
- Leader: at least 1.5× the #2 for 3+ minutes, with no red flag.
- OG: launched first. That's all it means.
- Rotation: money is moving fast from one clone into another.
- Caution: a red flag (dev dump, big sell from the top). It's never shown as Leader.
- K.O. died before migrating. After migrating: Rugged = a real rug (in minutes), Dumped = −90% within the hour, Died = bled out over hours (not rugs). Never use these CAs.
- Winner: after migration, the clone that holds the biggest market cap, at least 1.5× the next one.
The verdict banner
At the top of every war and token page, one sentence says where the war stands, and a "Why?" line gives the reason in plain words.

The CA to copy
The big gold button copies only one CA: the current Leader, or the Winner once the war is decided. Never a K.O., rugged or caution clone. Always check the first and last 4 characters yourself before you paste it anywhere.
If your app blocks copying (Telegram or X in-app browser), PVP shows the full CA so you can press and hold to copy it. It never says "copied" when nothing was copied.
When there is nothing to copy
A lot of the time no clone clearly leads: two are close, all of them are dying, or the war is too young. Then there's no CA to copy and the page tells you why. That's on purpose, we'd rather say "no leader" than guess.
Then what?
Watch a war live, star it to follow it, or paste any CA, $TICKER or pump.fun, Raydium, DexScreener, Axiom or GMGN link in the search to check a coin. Read the risk warning before you trade.
