How to read a PumpPill Solana scan

Someone has sent you a Solana contract address and a chart. The address alone tells you nothing about who made the coin, who holds it, or whether you can sell it. This lesson walks through the Scanner's Solana read from top to bottom: the two answers it leads with, the sections under them, the rules it follows, and the questions it cannot answer.

Where the read lives

Paste the mint address into the box at /scan and press Get the read. A compact panel opens with the stored read and, beside it, the list "What every read answers". At the bottom of the panel a link opens the full read, which is the token's own page at /token/<address>. If PumpPill has no stored read for the mint yet, the panel says so and the link starts one.

The two answers

The full page opens with the token, a Buy button and one market row, then two questions, each answered with one word in bold and a clause.

Am I early? How far the token has run from launch, from its peak, and from where PumpPill first logged it. The clause gives the multiple since first logging, the distance from the peak, and the age. The read also checks whether anything is trading today, from FOMO app traders seen in the last day and from the latest price PumpPill fetched. A token with trades today is never called stopped, and a reading that is weeks old says so.

What's my risk? What the contract lets its owner do, how concentrated the holders are, and whether the pool is locked. The clause gives the contract half first, then the worst other finding.

The risk word is coloured: green for Low, yellow for Medium, red for High. The page's description is built from the same two answers, so a search result or an AI assistant quoting the page says what the page says.

The market row

Six cells. Market cap, with the share of the peak it sits at. Liquidity, with its share of market cap. Top 10 hold, with pools left out, because pools are not people. First logged at, with the market cap and time of PumpPill's first sighting. Since then, the multiple from that sighting, and how far off the peak. Logged, how long ago, with the tracker's status: Trading, Liquidity thinning, or Stopped trading.

The contract

Five criteria, each pass, fail or unread, each with its number.

• Mint authority. Revoked is the good state; live means the deployer can print more supply.
• Freeze authority. Revoked is the good state; live means the deployer can lock holders out of selling.
• Liquidity. Burned, or locked with the percentage, or not locked and so able to be pulled.
• A test sell. If the test sell fails, the token reads as a honeypot: you can buy and cannot sell.
• Sell tax, where one is set.

An authority can be revoked at any time, so "no mint authority" is a state at the moment of the read, not a permanent fact. Read the time stamp.

The launch bundle

"Did insiders load the launch?" asks whether the first buyers bought as one group, who funded them, and whether they have sold. The read names how the launch wallets were tied together, in plain words: buying in the same slot, going through one Jito bundle, sharing one address lookup table, paying identical minimum fees, filled by one multi-wallet transaction, or sending sale proceeds to one wallet. It then says how much supply that group bought, how much it still holds, and whether it has dumped.

A bundle that has already sold out reads differently from one still holding. The lesson on cleared float in this hub covers that distinction.

Holders, creator, and who is in

Who holds it now? The top ten wallets' share with pools excluded, and the raw figure named once beside it.

The creator. The creator wallet, what share it holds now, and its record: how many tokens it launched before and how many of those were rugs, where that record is on file.

Is smart money in? Whether wallets PumpPill tracks, by record or by size, were seen buying. A whale here means a wallet PumpPill saw buy, not a large holder it never saw move.

Who's talking about it? Which X accounts posted the contract, with bots and repeat posters filtered out, how many real accounts, and when the first post was. Whether the project has its own X account linked.

Under these sit the evidence lines each finding rests on, and a section of beta deep reads.

The rules the read keeps

Criteria, not scores. Nothing on the page is a number out of 100. Every finding is a statement with the figure that supports it.

Unread is not clean. A line the read could not check is marked unread and counted as an open question. The page says it in bold: "Unread is not clean." It will not fill a gap with a guess.

One number per fact. The top-ten figure is the pools-excluded one everywhere it appears.

No price calls. The read says what the token is. It does not say where the price goes.

The Buy button

Buy opens @PumpPill_Trade_Bot in Telegram with the contract loaded. The bot shows its own Scan of the token in the chat before you tap a size, and on Solana you can arm take-profit steps on the price you paid. The button is on the read whatever the risk word says; the risk is stated beside it.

What this does not tell you

The read describes the token at the moment of the scan. It does not predict the price, and a clear read is evidence, not a recommendation to buy.

A stored read can be hours or days old. The time stamp is under the reasons; open the full read for a fresh scan when the stored one is stale.

The Scanner does not see your wallet, your position or your entry. It answers about the token, not about your trade.

The X section says who posted the contract. It does not say whether they were paid to.

PumpPill reads the tokens that reach it through its sources and through pasted addresses. A contract with no read is a gap in the index, not a clean bill.

What to do next

Open /scan, paste the next Solana contract someone sends you, and read the two answers before you read the chart. If you want to trade it, the Buy button opens /bot's Telegram bot with the contract loaded, and the Scan there is the same read.
