MadeOnSol's Deployer Hunter tracks Pump.fun deployers in real time, scoring them by historical bonding success rate and flagging new launches from proven deployers. This report covers deployer activity for March 2026.
All data is derived from on-chain Pump.fun deployments and bonding (graduation) events.
How we collect this data
Every figure in this report is reconstructed from the Solana ledger, not from any third-party index or self-reported source. The pipeline behind the Deployer Hunter watches two distinct on-chain events:
- Pump.fun deployments — the moment a new token mint is created on the Pump.fun program. This identifies the deployer wallet (the account that paid for and signed the deployment) and ties it to the new mint.
- Bonding events — the moment a token's bonding curve completes (~85 SOL raised) and liquidity migrates to PumpSwap, pump.fun's own AMM. A token that reaches this stage is said to have "bonded."
By joining these two streams on the mint address, we can attribute every bonded token back to the wallet that deployed it, then build a per-wallet history of how many launches each deployer has taken all the way to a bond. That history is what powers the tier classification below. Because the data is read straight from confirmed transactions, the deployer-to-token mapping is exact rather than estimated.
What "bonding" means
On Pump.fun, a new token starts life on a bonding curve — an automated pricing mechanism where the token price rises as more is bought. When enough has been purchased to fill the curve, the token graduates: its liquidity migrates to PumpSwap (pump.fun's own AMM — graduations went to Raydium before March 2025) and it becomes freely tradable. We refer to this graduation as bonding. Tokens that never fill their curve never bond, and most Pump.fun launches fall into that category. This report counts only the tokens that did bond.
What a "deployer tier" is
A deployer tier is a label we assign to a wallet based on its historical bonding rate — the share of all the tokens that wallet has ever deployed that went on to bond. A wallet with a long record of launches that consistently bond sits in a higher tier; a wallet that is new, or that rarely converts launches into bonds, sits lower. Tiers are a track-record summary, not a prediction of any single token's outcome.

Deployer Tier Breakdown
MadeOnSol classifies deployers into tiers based on their historical bonding rate — the percentage of tokens they've launched that successfully bonded. Elite deployers have the highest historical success rates.
| Tier | Deployers | Tokens Launched | Avg Peak MC (Bonded) |
|---|
| Elite | 22 | 115 | $610,638 |
| Good | 48 | 124 | $158,966 |
| Moderate | 647 | 891 | $381,505 |
| Rising | 2,055 | 2,073 | $711,325 |
| Unranked | 1,560 | 3,004 | $175,365 |
| Cold | 12 | 18 | $126,081 |
Elite deployers — just 22 wallets — launched 115 tokens with an average peak market cap of $610K. These are the deployers with the longest track record of successful launches.
Rising deployers had the highest average peak MC ($711K) despite being newer. This tier often contains deployers riding current meta trends with high-momentum launches, though their long-term success rate is less proven.
Unranked deployers made up the bulk of activity (3,004 tokens from 1,560 wallets) but with the lowest average peak MC at $175K.
Highest-Performing Launches
The tokens that reached the highest peak market cap after bonding in March.
| Token | Peak Market Cap | MC at Bond | Time to Bond | Deployer Tier |
|---|
| GoyWhale (The Goy Whale) | $251.1M | $18.0M | instant | Rising |
| Discat (Distorted Cat) | $187.8M | $10.7K | 2 min | Moderate |
| TRUMPTHUG (Trump Thugs) | $174.4M | $18.7M | instant | Rising |
| LFG (Lil' Finder Guy) | $77.9M | $19.1M | instant | Rising |
| BANK (bankme.fun) | $71.8M | $34.8K | instant | Rising |
| DRONE | $53.9M | $36.5K | instant | Rising |
| BULLY | $46.7M | $18.2M | instant | Rising |
| BANK (bankme.fun #2) | $38.8M | $36.7K | instant | Rising |
| TRUMP (Agent Trump) | $36.2M | $35.9K | instant | Rising |
| aSOL (Anime Solana) | $34.2M | $34.3K | instant | Rising |
Rising-tier deployers dominated the top 10 — 8 of the 10 highest-performing tokens came from Rising deployers. This suggests that newer deployers with momentum-driven strategies are capturing the largest moves, though their consistency across multiple launches remains to be seen.
Discat from a Moderate deployer stands out: it bonded at just $10.7K market cap and peaked at $187.8M — a nearly 18,000x move. The 2-minute bond time and low bond MC suggest it was a grassroots launch rather than a pre-coordinated one.
Most top tokens bonded instantly (0 minutes), indicating they had sufficient buy pressure to clear the bonding curve immediately after deployment.
Alert Activity
MadeOnSol's Deployer Hunter generates alerts when tracked deployers launch new tokens or when their tokens bond.
| Alert Type | Count |
|---|
| Total alerts | 3,068 |
| High priority (elite/good deployers) | 183 |
| Unique deployers alerted | 1,444 |
High-priority alerts — triggered only by elite and good-tier deployers — accounted for 6% of all alerts. These are the signals with the strongest historical backing.
Key Takeaways
-
Elite deployers are rare but consistent — only 22 elite wallets exist in our database, but they launched 115 tokens with the highest average peak MC by tier ($610K). Tracking elite deployers remains one of the most reliable on-chain alpha signals.
-
Rising deployers capture the biggest moves — 8 of the top 10 tokens by peak MC came from Rising-tier deployers. These wallets are newer with less historical data, but they're riding current market momentum effectively.
-
Bond MC predicts little — tokens that bonded at $35K reached anywhere from $34M to $251M in peak MC. The bonding price is a poor predictor of eventual peak, making post-bond monitoring critical.
-
Most volume comes from unranked deployers — 3,004 of 6,225 tracked tokens (48%) came from deployers with no established track record. These have the lowest average performance and highest risk.
-
Instant bonding dominates — nearly all top performers bonded in 0 minutes, meaning buy pressure was already present at launch. The 2-minute outlier (Discat) was the exception, not the rule.
Methodology
Data sourced from MadeOnSol's Deployer Hunter, which monitors Pump.fun deployments via real-time gRPC streaming. Deployers are classified into tiers (elite, good, moderate, rising, cold, unranked) based on their historical bonding rate across all tokens they've ever deployed. Peak market cap is tracked continuously after bonding via periodic checks.
Coverage period: March 1–31, 2026.
How to use this data
Deployer history is a screening tool, not a buy signal. The practical workflow is to use tier as a first filter and then layer your own checks on top:
- Treat tier as a prior, not a verdict. A higher-tier deployer has converted launches into bonds before; that lowers — but does not eliminate — the odds of a dud. As the figures above show, bond market cap alone predicts very little about where a token eventually peaks, so the tier tells you about the wallet, not the trade.
- Watch the alert stream, not the monthly snapshot. This report is a backward-looking summary. The value of Deployer Hunter is catching a proven deployer's new launch in real time, before it bonds, which is why high-priority alerts are scoped to the strongest tiers.
- Cross-reference convergence and KOL flow. A new launch from a tracked deployer is more interesting when other on-chain signals line up. Pair this with the KOL Tracker and the live feed to see whether smart money is also stepping in.
