“Tonight a thousand times the big golden dog appeared”, “A nap missed a hundred times”, I don’t know if you have ever experienced this, the golden dog always ambushes when you're not around, by the time you react, the market value has already exceeded eight digits. So, when does the golden dog occur most frequently? Is it necessary to be online during this period to have a chance? Odaily will review this in this article.
When does the golden dog appear?
We first take the top one thousand tokens by market cap from Pump.fun as research subjects, obtaining the following token creation time points. The creation time point of 0 means that the token creation time is between 0:00-1:00 Beijing time, and so on. From this chart, it is clear that after 9 PM, the frequency of golden dogs jumps from 2% to 4% and continues to rise, peaking from 3-6 AM, then falling back to 2%-3% in the morning.
To verify whether this rule is correct, we expanded our research subjects to include tokens ranked in the TOP 200 and TOP 2000 by market cap. To illustrate this more clearly, we added a bar chart as shown below. It can be seen that for tokens in the TOP 2000 by market cap, the frequency of golden dogs still starts to rise significantly after 9 PM, with the same prominent advantage during the 3-6 AM period.
Is there still a chance if you miss the night?
For most users, it is difficult to hit the dog at midnight, so if you miss the first wave at midnight, is there no chance at all? The author has compiled the interval from the creation of the TOP 20 tokens to the first wave peak, with results shown in the figure below. It takes an average of 52.7 hours to ferment to the first wave peak, while reaching the current TOP 20 status takes an average of 58.7 days, indicating that even if you miss the opening, there is still plenty of time to get in.
Data Source
Pump market cap 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, and can be accessed for TOP tokens. The author has tested and can access tokens ranked up to 2050 by market cap.
For tokens that are not ranked, the creation time can be queried through the front-end API, where the last transaction is the dev's first purchase transaction, allowing the acquisition of the token's creation time through this transaction.
