Trading
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ape | Buy aggressively, often on conviction + speed rather than deep analysis. Also: the second-best fee tier name |
| Bag | Your position in a token |
| CA | Contract address — a token’s unique on-chain ID. Pasting a CA into search is the fastest route to a token page |
| Entry / Exit | The price you got in / out |
| Jeet | To panic-sell early; one who does. Opposite of diamond hands |
| Market structure | The chart’s support/resistance skeleton — where buys and sells cluster |

Launch lifecycle
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bonding curve | Launchpad price mechanism before a token graduates to a DEX |
| Bond / Graduate / Migrate | The move from bonding curve to DEX liquidity — the Trenches stages track it |

| Launchpad | Token launch platform (Pump.fun, Bonk, Moonshot…) |
| Meta | The dominant narrative of the day — what everything mooning has in common |
| Trenches | The arena of fresh launches. Highest risk, earliest entries |
| Vamp | A competing token hijacking another’s narrative/attention |
Risk & scams

| Bundle / Bundler | Supply held across coordinated wallets — how to spot |
| DB / DS | Dev buy / dev sell |

| Honeypot | A token you can buy but not sell |
| Insiders | Wallets connected to the deployer, usually pre-loaded with supply |
| LP (locked/burned) | Liquidity pool tokens locked or destroyed — dev can’t yank liquidity |

People & social
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Call / Caller | A public token recommendation / who made it. Check what the caller does after the call |

| MM | Market maker — professional liquidity, sometimes chart-painting |
| Raid | Coordinated community commenting to boost a token’s visibility |
| Smart money | Wallets with a track record worth tracking |
