| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ape | To buy fast, usually without research. |
| ATH | All-time high: the highest price or market cap a coin has traded at. |
| Bag | Your position in a coin. Bag holder: someone still holding after it fell. |
| Bonding curve | The launchpad's pricing formula. Before a pool exists the curve sells and buys tokens, and the price rises as supply is bought. |
| Bonded / graduated / migrated | A coin that completed its bonding curve and moved to a real liquidity pool (PumpSwap for pump.fun). |
| Bubble map | A picture of a coin's holders where wallets funded from the same source are linked, so one person's many wallets show as one cluster. |
| Bundle | Several wallets buying in the same block as the launch, usually the creator buying their own supply through many wallets. |
| CA | Contract address: the token's unique mint address. Always buy by CA, never by ticker. |
| Caller / KOL | An account that posts coins for its followers. KOL means key opinion leader. |
| CTO | Community takeover: holders take over a coin's socials after the dev leaves. |
| Degen | A trader who takes outsized risks, often proudly. |

| Diamond hands / paper hands | Holding through drops / selling at the first one. |
| Final stretch | Coins close to completing their bonding curve, where volume usually arrives. |
| FDV | Fully diluted value: price times total supply. For most memecoins it equals market cap. |
| Jeet | A seller who takes a tiny profit early, often blamed for every red candle. |
| Jito / MEV protection | Sending a transaction through Jito so it is not visible in the public mempool before it lands, which keeps sandwich bots off it. |
| King of the hill | pump.fun's spotlight for the coin closest to graduating. |
| Liquidity | The SOL and tokens in a coin's pool. Low liquidity means every trade moves the price a lot. |
| Market cap | Price times circulating supply. The number memecoin traders talk in ("in at 20K, out at 200K"). |
