A
Available Balance The amount of SOL in your wallet that is currently liquid and available to use for new trades. Does not include SOL reserved for open limit orders.B
Bonding Curve A pricing mechanism used by platforms like Pump.fun where the price of a token increases as more people buy it. When a token reaches 100% of its bonding curve, it migrates to a decentralized exchange (like Raydium) where open-market trading begins. Bribe / Tip An optional extra payment included in a Solana transaction to incentivize block builders (like Jito) to prioritize and include your transaction. Higher bribes improve success rates during congestion and help prevent MEV attacks. Bundlers % The percentage of a token’s supply held across coordinated bundle wallets. High bundler % can indicate artificial concentration or coordinated pump-and-dump activity. Visible in the Token Information panel on the token page.D
DEX (Decentralized Exchange) A trading venue that operates via smart contracts without a central authority. Shotgun routes trades through Solana DEXes like Raydium. Dev Holding % The percentage of a token’s total supply held by the developer’s wallet. High dev holdings are a risk indicator - developers can sell large amounts at any time. Dex Paid Indicates whether the token developer has paid for a DEX listing. Visible in the Token Information panel. A paid listing can signal some level of project commitment.F
Freeze Authority A permission built into some Solana token contracts that allows the creator to freeze all trading on the token. If a token has an active freeze authority, the developer can prevent anyone from buying or selling.G
Graduating Tokens that are close to completing their bonding curve and migrating to a DEX. Visible in the Trenches board as the middle column. These tokens have proven demand and migration often triggers a sharp price move. Graduated Tokens that have successfully completed their bonding curve and migrated to a DEX for open-market trading. Visible in the Trenches board as the right column.I
Insiders % The percentage of a token’s supply held by insider wallets - typically early or private participants. High insider % can indicate a setup for a coordinated dump. Visible in the Token Information panel.L
Liquidity The total value of tokens and SOL locked in a token’s trading pool. Higher liquidity means less price impact per trade (lower slippage) and greater price stability. Liquidity Lock When a project locks its liquidity pool for a set period, preventing the developers from withdrawing it (a “rug pull”). Shown with a 🔒 icon on token pages. LP Burned Liquidity Pool tokens that have been permanently burned, meaning the liquidity can never be removed by the developer. Burned LP is a positive signal - it eliminates rug pull risk on the liquidity side. Visible in the Token Information panel.M
Market Cap The current total value of a token’s circulating supply. Formula: Current Price × Circulating Supply. MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) A technique where bots monitor the Solana mempool and detect your incoming buy transaction before it’s confirmed. They buy the token right before you, driving the price up, then sell immediately after - forcing you into an instant loss. Also called a “sandwich attack.” Shotgun’s MEV Protection routes transactions through protected channels to prevent this. Migration The process where a token that reaches 100% of its bonding curve is automatically moved to a DEX like Raydium, where open-market trading begins. Mint Authority A permission built into some Solana token contracts that allows the creator to mint additional tokens at any time. If not revoked, the developer can inflate the supply and dilute existing holders.P
PnL (Profit and Loss) Your gain or loss from a trade or position, expressed in SOL/USD or as a percentage.- Unrealized PnL - current gain/loss on a position you still hold (not yet sold)
- Realized PnL - locked-in gain/loss from a position you have fully closed
