Bonded Ticker

A ticker that has previously had a coin complete the bonding curve and migrate to a DEX. A relaunched bonded ticker is a red flag: the market has already processed this name and the novelty premium is spent.

Tokenomics Graduation The transition from Pump.fun's bonding curve to a live AMM pool (PumpSwap since March 2025). Requires roughly 85 SOL in buy pressure; LP tokens are automatically burned. Approximately 0.63% of launches graduated in September 2025. Graduation is the minimum threshold of survival, not evidence of quality. → Culture Narrative The story or thesis behind a single memecoin — the cultural reference, the joke, the news event, or the inside reference that explains why anyone should care. A memecoin's only product. A strong narrative survives drawdowns; a thin narrative dies on the first red candle. → Culture OG Meta The market's preference for original cultural objects with no prior bonded ticker. The current market rewards novelty and punishes relaunches — people are exhausted by repackaged memes and want first-encounter cultural references. →
