Doesn’t he have to have one of those green pill things by his name? @Pumpfun @a1lon9 @elonmusk or the paid partnership flag?
pump has added ~11 chains past two weeks, & now giving out cash to people adding theses to higher market cap coins & trading perps + crosschain tokens
lot of the pushback on the rewards was towards ppl spamming callouts on low mc tokens and taking advantage of volume spikes, this is completely orthogonal to that activity
What is done in the dark will always be brought to light. @blknoiz06 et al.
Kinda cool.
A creator's cross-chain pair sets a lot about their coin in one choice at launch.
The coin moves with the ecosystem its pair follows, in both directions and before anyone has bought; its floor is counted in that pair, its creator is paid in it, and holders of the coin behind the pair have a reason to look at the launch. Cross-chain pairing on Pair offers 344 of these across Solana, Ethereum, Base and BNB Chain.
Every cross-chain pair trades in a standard Uniswap v4 pool, so GMGN and DexScreener show it like any other coin.

One of crypto's largest KOLs has been secretly extracting millions from his audience
We’ll expose him soon
Unfortunately, he’s just a symptom of a much bigger problem
Social trading has brought out the worst in KOLs. It was designed to keep them honest by making every trade public. In reality, the opposite happened
In just a few weeks, we exposed a number of "top social traders" using the same tricks:
• Public wallets to attract copy traders
• Side wallets to dump
• Callouts to farm rewards
• Bundled tokens to hide supply
And there are plenty more doing the exact same thing
Why? Because our industry incentivizes it
1) Launchpads allow it
Most launchpads today are obsessed with one thing: volume. Millions in callout rewards, affiliate links, and top leaderboards. Almost nothing on detecting bundles, side wallets, or shady traders. Scams drive volume. Launchpads have no reason to stop it (other than actually caring about their users)
2) Social trading incentivizes it
Side wallets have become a business model. Before social trading, only big KOLs could do it. Now, anyone who lands on a leaderboard can monetize by dumping on their copy-traders. The temptation is real
3) CT normalizes bundle culture
“Everyone bundles. It's how it's done" - an excuse we hear every time we expose a KOL. Supply control isn't the problem. Hiding it is. If it's so bullish, why hide it? Spoiler: because you're planning to sell
***
Launchpads are paying millions to dishonest KOLs. It's time they start taking it seriously
Audit the top traders. Expose their side wallets. Ban repeat offenders
We have the tools. What's missing is the willingness to use them
No one's coming to save us

Big. Real-world assets and crypto are merging and will become one. That creates the opportunity for the space to grow by orders of magnitude from here.
What in the fuckkk are we fucking doing here?
