How many pump.fun graduates from 24 hours, 7 days and 30 days ago are still alive right now? A live look at how brutal the meme launch ecosystem really is.
"Alive" means at least $5,000 in liquidity on the primary DexScreener pair right now.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Meme Coin Survival Rate?
The percentage of pump.fun graduates from a given day that are still trading with at least $5,000 in liquidity today. We snapshot every graduate we audit by their actual graduation date, then check their current DexScreener pair every hour. Coins that no longer show up on DexScreener or that dropped below the liquidity threshold count as dead.
Why is the survival rate so low?
Pump.fun is designed for fast, low-cost coin creation. Most graduates were never serious projects: bundled launches, copy-paste tickers, scams or pure speculative experiments. After the initial 24 to 72 hours of hype the liquidity drains as holders sell and devs walk away. A typical day sees fewer than 10 percent of graduates survive a week.
What counts as "alive"?
Liquidity on the primary DexScreener pair is at least $5,000 USD. Below that the pool is so thin you cannot meaningfully buy or sell, which we treat as effectively dead. We do not check trading activity because that signal is noisy on tiny coins.
Where does the data come from?
We snapshot every Solana pump.fun graduate that crosses our New Launches scanner, indexed by the pool_created_at timestamp from GeckoTerminal (so each coin is filed under the day it actually graduated, not the day we noticed it). Survival is checked hourly via DexScreener's bulk tokens endpoint, using current liquidity in USD.
Why doesn't the 30-day number have data yet?
We started collecting daily graduate snapshots when this tracker launched. The 24-hour bucket needs 24 hours of data, the 7-day bucket needs 7 days, the 30-day bucket needs 30 days. Each bucket fills up as time passes.
Should I trade based on this?
No. It is a market-health statistic, not a price signal. The takeaway is that buying random pump.fun graduates is a near-guaranteed way to lose money. Use the New Launches tab and the Rug Risk Index to find the rare quality launches and always run a full audit before buying.
