🧨 Dynamite: pump.fun tokens wearing another chain's website

A token minted on Solana, linking to a website that says, in plain words, that the project runs on Robinhood Chain. Sounds absurd? It happened three times this afternoon on pump.fun, and not one of those sites mentions Solana.

A Solana token whose website belongs to a project on another blockchain is a very strong sign that the name and the site were borrowed. We turned that sign into a new alert on the live map, and it caught its first two cases within the hour.

What we saw today

We are not naming the tokens or their creators here: the point is the pattern, not the people. The three copies looked like this.

A fourth case shows how fast this goes, even without another chain involved. A pump.fun token took the name and the tagline of a launchpad that has not launched any token yet, and linked to its website and its X account. Nobody took over those accounts: the token page just pointed to them. The project's own site even says its only official links are its website and its X account. The creator wallet bought about 2 SOL of the token at creation and sold everything 7 seconds later, for about 0.5 SOL of profit.

Why bots buy these copies

Within seconds of every launch, sniper bots read the new coin and decide whether to buy. Their filters are simple: is there a website that responds, an X account with real followers, a name people are talking about, a decent buy from the creator?

Linking to someone else's project ticks every box. The site is real, the X account is real, the project is trending, and none of it belongs to the token's creator. What the bots don't check is the only thing that matters: does this website actually acknowledge this specific token? The copy launches, the bots buy behind it, and the creator sells into their buys.

Robinhood Chain is new and its projects are getting attention, which makes them a target: most Solana buyers haven't heard of them yet, so few will notice that the site talks about another chain.

How the 🧨 alert works

When a new token links a website, our tracker reads the page, including its description tags. If the page presents itself as a project on another blockchain (Robinhood Chain, Base, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Arbitrum and others) or shows only an Ethereum-style contract address, and never mentions Solana or pump.fun, the token gets the 🧨 mark:

• an alert pops up on the live map, with the chain and the website it borrowed;
• the creator is set aside for 7 days, like every other borrowed profile;
• the token's card explains why, so you can check it yourself.

What it doesn't flag, on purpose. A project “built on LayerZero” or another cross-chain protocol can live on Solana too, so that alone isn't dynamite. And a real project that expands to Solana almost always says so on its own site, which is enough to pass. If you think a verdict is wrong, the method page lets you contest it.

Four checks before you buy a “new chain” meme on pump.fun

1. Read the site's first lines. Which blockchain does it name? If it isn't Solana, stop there.
2. Find the contract address on the project's own site or X. This is the one that matters most. A copy can link to any website, but it can't put its address on a site it doesn't control. If the project shows a different address, or a 0x address, it isn't this token. If it shows no address yet, the token may simply be very new: wait until the project confirms it before you trust it.
3. Check the creator wallet. Opened today, and already sold everything? That's the pattern above.
4. Ask the checker. Send any address to @RugWatchCheckBot on Telegram: other launches, what the creator still holds, and the website verdict.

Why it matters

Each of these copies made its creator a few dozen dollars. The real cost is elsewhere: people who believed they were buying an early piece of a project they had read about, and real teams whose names now show up on charts they had nothing to do with. Showing where a site really comes from takes our tracker a fraction of a second. It should take you no longer.

This is not an accusation against any person. We describe what each website says about itself and what the creator wallets did on-chain. A site can change, and a project can add Solana later; the live map re-reads verdicts that are contested. Memecoins are extremely risky and most go to zero. We have no position in any of these tokens and no relationship with their creators or with the projects whose websites were linked. Facts as of 14 October 2026.
