Solfun. Troll's growth: fundamentals versus technical analysis500% in one day — and not a single clue on the chart
The Troll token gained more than 500% in one day. Such movements are not uncommon for the Solana memetoken market, but this case is indicative. If someone had tried to predict the growth using technical analysis, they would have been left with nothing:
there were no patterns on the chart;
there was no break in the structure;
the indicators were silent
The reason is simple — most new tokens on Solana don't even have a trading history to build technical analysis on. In addition, the average meme token rarely lasts more than a week, and a significant portion of projects turn out to be scams.
In the case of Troll, the impetus was not the chart at all, but a Twitter post from the Pump.fun account mentioning the token. It was this factor that triggered a wave of purchases, which led to a 750% increase at its peak.
When the chart is silent, fundamentals speak
In the world of memecoins, fundamental analysis is a quick snapshot of key metrics that can be checked in the first minutes of a token's existence:
supply distribution;
the share of bots among holders;
activity on social networks;
the presence of suspicious large addresses.
If you answer each of these metrics for yourself, you can already form a basic understanding: is the token worth paying attention to, or is it better to pass it by?
You can either collect all the necessary data yourself or switch to automation by using a cumulative integral indicator that combines all of this into a single number — the token's reliability percentage.
This percentage is a key metric that many traders rely on when making decisions. It is formed from a whole set of factors:
uniformity of token distribution;
degree of decentralization;
real audience activity;
abnormal transactions;
dynamics of interest on social networks.
This is the percentage that many traders look at first: if it is below 20% , the project is immediately rejected.
Automation instead of manual analysis
Collecting such data manually takes too long. By the time a trader checks the distribution of supply, holders, and activity on social media, the desired deal may already be gone. Therefore, the market has gradually shifted to automation.
There are now many browser extensions that analyze tokens and indicate the final reliability percentage instead of the trader.
In my case, SolFun is just one such tool, a standard within the Solana ecosystem. The extension is built directly into the Pump.fun interface, works in real time, and aggregates key metrics into one convenient indicator.
In the case of Troll, SolFun showed 61% reliability — a high level for a new token amid a flood of daily scam projects.
Conclusion
The story with Troll is just an illustration of a general pattern in the Solana memetoken market: technical analysis is often useless. What matters here is the speed of obtaining information and the ability to quickly filter the flow of projects. Either manual work or connecting automation in the form of SolFun and other extensions.
The speed of analysis is especially important in an environment where every extra hour can cost you a missed deal.

SolFun and memetokens on Solana: from chaos to structure
Solana — an ecosystem with a long-term vector
Solana occupies a stable position among the leaders in blockchain infrastructure. High speed, scalability, and minimal fees make it an ideal platform for both serious DeFi products and speculative activity. In recent months, interest in Solana has only grown, which has directly affected the number of new projects within the network.
One of the most notable trends has been memecoins. They are filling the blockchain at a tremendous rate, with dozens and hundreds of new assets appearing every day. This dynamic is largely explained by the ease of launching tokens through the Pump.fun platform.
The more popular Solana becomes, the more tokens will appear within it. This is a direct correlation: a strong foundation generates high activity at the second level of the ecosystem.
Memes as a reflection of the market
Meme tokens are not just chaos and humour. They are a separate form of local trading, with high volatility and instant reactions. This segment has become particularly active on Solana :
The absence of commissions makes trading convenient;
The speed of the blockchain allows for instant reactions;
The ease of launching tokens is a factor in mass adoption;
The community itself fuels trends.
But along with this came complications: scams, dumps, and mass bot participation. And here, the need for filtering comes to the fore.
The problem of selection and how traders deal with it
In a rapidly changing market, it is impossible to analyse every token manually. Therefore, most traders have long since developed a basic set of tools. These include things like auto-filters in Telegram, dashboards, and, of course, extensions directly within Pump.fun.
One of the most widely used is SolFun . It is built into the interface and displays key token metrics: reliability index, decentralisation, activity, holder concentration, presence of suspicious addresses, etc.
For most active participants in the Solana market, SolFun is not a ‘tool’ but part of the working environment. It has long been used by those who make dozens of trades per session.
What the trading logic looks like
In a hyperactive market, it is not the speed of entry that is important, but filtering. Successful traders do not try to catch every wave. Instead, they build a funnel: 80% of tokens are cut off at the analysis stage.
The scenario is simple:
Low reliability index — pass;
One of the holders owns too large a share — risk of dumping;
Suspicious activity from bot-like accounts on Twitter — pass;
If there are no red flags, the distribution is even, and the activity is lively, you can continue with the analysis.
These signals are immediately visible — many of them are displayed in SolFun . But perception comes not through the interface, but through habit — the eye catches familiar parameters. And if the picture does not match expectations, the trader does not enter.
Why technical analysis is not needed here
Memecoins on Solana are a market where technical analysis loses its meaning. There are no histories, patterns, or liquidity. Everything happens in minutes, and by the time any pattern appears, the movement is already complete.
Therefore, the approach here is fundamental — in its adapted form. This is not a study of the white paper, but a quick check:
How many unique holders are there?
Who are they?
How are the tokens distributed?
Is there activity from live users?
Are there any red flags — such as pBOT or sudden injections?
Such metrics are the basis of the logic that traders operate on. And tools like SolFun simply make this process faster.
Where is everything heading?
Solana is showing steady growth. This means that the ecosystem will continue to expand. And that means the meme market will only gain momentum. This is not just speculation — it is a reflection of demand and attention.
In such conditions, it is not the first to enter who survives, but those who know how to filter out the noise. SolFun , like other automated assistants, has simply established itself as part of this ecosystem. Not as a solution, but as infrastructure.
