How MetaHunter works

MetaHunter watches pump.fun around the clock and keeps score of what is actually working — so you can open it once and see what moved, instead of staring at the firehose all day.

1 · It records, because pump.fun forgets

pump.fun has no history: its data only tells you what is happening right now. MetaHunter keeps a running record of every token as it is born, so the time windows (Since last visit, 24h, 6h, 1h) can show you the past — not just this exact second.

2 · The measuring stick: Runner Score

A token’s strength is not how many copies share its name. It is how high it got and whether it held:
  • —Peak — the highest market cap it reached (real interest).
  • —Survival — how long it has stayed alive and whether it is still holding value (current market cap ÷ peak).
Runner Score = Peak × Survival

A coin that spiked to $200K and dumped in two minutes scores low. A coin that reached $80K and is still there an hour later scores high. The result reads as a sustained market cap in dollars.

3 · The minimum filter

Thousands of dust tokens launch every hour. A token only counts once its peak crosses a minimum you can set (default $20K). Everything below that is noise and is left out of the rankings. Tune it anytime from the Filters button.

4 · Narratives

Two signals, detected automatically: tokens that share a repeated word in their name/symbol, and tokens that link the same tweet. Each narrative is ranked by the real fees its coins paid and by how many of them cleared the measuring stick — which buries copy-paste scams with no real volume.

5 · Where the data comes from (no fiction)

  • —Live token stream from PumpPortal — a third-party relay, not pump.fun directly (pump.fun’s own API is behind a bot wall).
  • —Market data from Dexscreener; prices from CoinGecko; headlines from public RSS feeds.
  • —Fees are estimated as ~1% of real traded volume — an anti-scam signal, not exact on-chain fees. We label it as such.
