"Another thousand-fold Golden Dog appeared tonight," "I missed a hundred-fold while taking a nap," you may have experienced similar feelings, as Golden Dogs always strike when you are away, and by the time you react, their market capitalization has already exceeded eight digits. So, when do Golden Dogs appear most frequently? Is it necessary to be online during this time to have a chance? Odaily will review this in this article.
When do Golden Dogs appear?
We first take tokens from Pump.fun that are ranked in the top one thousand by market capitalization as our research subjects, obtaining the following token creation time points. Here, a creation time point of 0 means that the token was created between 0:00-1:00 Beijing time, and so on. From this chart, it is evident that after 21:00, the frequency of 'Golden Dogs' jumps from 2% to 4%, continuing to rise, peaking between 3:00-6:00 AM, and then falling back to 2%-3% during the morning hours.
To verify whether this pattern is correct, we expanded our research subjects to include tokens in the TOP 200 and TOP 2000 by market capitalization. To illustrate more intuitively, a bar chart has been added as shown below. It can be seen that for tokens in the TOP 2000 by market capitalization, the frequency of Golden Dogs significantly increases after 21:00, and it is also significantly advantageous from 3:00-6:00 AM.
Is there still a chance if I miss the night?
For most users, it is difficult to hit the dogs in the early morning, so does missing the first wave in the early morning mean there is no chance? The author has collected data on the intervals from creation to the first peak for the TOP 20 tokens, as shown in the chart below. It takes an average of 52.7 hours to ferment to the first peak, while it takes an average of 58.7 days to reach the current TOP 20 status, indicating that even if you miss the opening, there is still plenty of time to get on board.
Data Source
Pump market capitalization rankings can be obtained through the pump front-end API, which includes over ten pieces of information such as token address, symbol, creation and end times. For TOP tokens, this API can be utilized. The author has tested and confirmed that it can access tokens ranked within the top 2050 by market capitalization.
For tokens not ranked, the creation time can be queried through the front-end API, where the last transaction is the first purchase transaction by dev, through which the creation time of the token can be obtained.
