Reports

The same ticker, a new creator every time

Published 11 September 2026. The figures below were computed from the record on that date and are not updated afterwards: they are read from a file written when this report was published, not recomputed when this page is built. The live view is here.

Revised. 2026-09-11: recordBuiltAt was the publish command's own clock, not the archive's build time: the query named columns the meta table does not have, threw, and fell back to Date.now(). The collector database carries no build stamp, so the field is now empty and the page says unknown. The publication date above is unchanged, because a revision is this report corrected rather than a new one.

Across the launches this archive watched from the creation transaction, 20 ticker symbols were each used by fifteen or more separate mints, and almost every mint was created by a wallet that had never launched anything before and never launched anything again. 1,208 launches, 1,160 distinct creator wallets, 842 of them completing a bonding curve we confirmed against the curve account itself.

Why a fresh wallet each time is the whole point

Every heuristic that judges a launch by its creator's history fails against a wallet with no history. A creator that has launched forty tokens is visible; forty creators that have launched one each are not, and they are the same operation. That is why this project validates its own criteria against creator-wallet reuse rather than with it, because it is an axis none of the published criteria read, which is what makes it usable as an independent check on them.

Several of these tickers match the names of well-known companies, films and products. The record states what ticker a launch declared for itself and nothing more: it is not evidence that any named business was involved, and nothing here should be read as saying so.

What this does not say

A shared ticker is not identity. Two launches using the same symbol may be unrelated, and the record cannot tell one operator running two hundred mints from two hundred people with the same idea. What it can say is what each launch did at birth, and the table above is that and only that.

Coverage began 2026-09-02 12:29 UTC and the figures were taken from the record built unknown. Launches before then were not watched. Rows a detector restored after the fact, and rows rebuilt from chain history, are excluded throughout: a launch found late shows no outside buyers because nobody was watching it, which would flatter every figure here.

Check it yourself

One query against the record database. Run it today and you will get a larger answer than the table above, because the archive has grown since publication, and that is the difference between a report and a live view, and it is why both exist. Disagreeing with either is the point of publishing them.

SELECT symbol, COUNT(*) mints,
       COUNT(DISTINCT creator) creators,
       SUM(graduated_confirmed_by IS NOT NULL) grads,
       AVG(dev_pct) dev, SUM(curve_buyers = 0) zero
FROM tokens
WHERE COALESCE(late_discovery,0) = 0
  AND rebuilt_at IS NULL
  AND symbol IS NOT NULL AND symbol != ''
GROUP BY symbol
HAVING mints >= 15
   AND creators >= mints * 0.9
   AND grads >= 5
ORDER BY grads DESC
LIMIT 20;
