SIGNAL LOG // PUMP.FUN INTELLIGENCE
NOVA
Real-time intelligence for newly launched tokens.
NOVA watches every new pump.fun launch as it happens, runs a fast rug-risk check before the crowd arrives, and pushes what it finds straight to Telegram — a bot for on-demand lookups, a channel for the open broadcast, and $NOVA, the project's own token, launched under the exact mechanism it studies.
One engine, three surfaces
NOVA is an experimental research and alerting system built around one question: what does a pump.fun token look like in the first minute of its life?
An always-on ingestion daemon keeps a live connection open to pump.fun's launch feed and to Solana through Helius. As soon as a token is created, NOVA starts watching its bonding curve — decoding trades, tracking the deployer's own buys, counting early buyers, and flagging wallets that look like repeat insiders — and turns that into a single risk read before most traders have opened the chart.
That one engine surfaces through three distinct, loosely-coupled things:
Bot
@NovaRadarSignalsBot — pull. Ask it about a specific mint, browse flagged insiders, or sit and receive alerts as they fire.
Channel
@NOVAexperiment — push. Every signal NOVA generates, broadcast in the open, no account or quota required.
$NOVA
The project's own pump.fun listing — launched the same way, and watched by the same engine, as every token NOVA screens.
@NovaRadarSignalsBot
Real-time intelligence for newly launched tokens.
The bot watches pump.fun launches in real time and sends a BUY signal for new tokens that pass a fast rug-risk check, plus a SELL / EMERGENCY alert if a token's deployer dumps after NOVA already signalled it. New accounts get five free alerts; after that, a subscription keeps them coming.
First contact. The bot explains itself in one message — what it watches, what it sends, and how to use it.
A live BUY signal. Everything NOVA could establish about a token in its first seconds, in one card.
Anatomy of a signal
- Risk score0–100, lower is safer — a rules-based read on how this launch looks so far.
- Evaluated athow long after launch NOVA formed this read (often just seconds).
- Dev's initial buyhow much SOL the deployer put into their own token.
- Dev's prior launcheshow many other tokens this same wallet has launched before.
- Unique buyers (60s)distinct wallets buying in the first minute.
- Buy/selltrade count and SOL volume on each side so far.
- Top 10 holdersconcentration among the largest holders, via Helius.
- Insiders among buyersbuyers already flagged as repeat early-snipers.
- Bonding curve progresshow far the token is toward migrating off the curve.

$NOVA — the project's own listing
NOVA didn't just build a tool to watch pump.fun launches — it put one of its own on the curve.
$NOVA is launched on pump.fun, under the same bonding-curve mechanism NOVA screens for every other token that comes through its feed. It carries no special protocol utility today — no fee-share, no built-in alert priority — it's the project running its own product through the exact system it studies.
@NOVAexperiment
The open broadcast surface — every signal, no account required.
Where the bot is a one-to-one relationship gated by a free-alert quota, the channel is one-to-many: NOVA posts BUY, SELL and EMERGENCY signals as they fire, in the open, for anyone who joins to see. It's the fastest way to watch the whole feed go by without configuring anything.
Two paths, one feed
Every signal starts at the same source. From there it splits into a fast path built for alerting, and a slower, deeper path built for analysis.
A single always-on ingestion daemon — a plain asyncio process, not a scheduled job, because holding a websocket open for hours is a poor fit for a scheduler — keeps two live connections open: pump.fun's free launch feed for new mints, and Helius (Solana RPC) for trades against each token's bonding curve. Every event lands first in Bronze, a universal raw-JSON layer, exactly as received.
From there, two things happen to the same stream:
Snapshot from an early live verification pass against real trade data — a small sample, not a track record.
