Two seconds ahead
Five launches, five front-buys, one direct 20 SOL transfer. Here is the full evidence — transaction by transaction — and what it does and does not prove.

Open the cluster report →What the data shows
The side wallet always bought 2–3 seconds first
Across all five launches the suspected side wallet bought before the tracked wallet — by 3, 2, 3, 2 and 2 seconds. The lead is small and consistent. Every one of those buys executed through pump.fun and paid a 0.001005 SOL fee, well above the network minimum, which is what a wallet pays when it needs a transaction to land immediately.
It did not hold — it exited in seconds
The positions were not accumulations. Four of the five were fully closed between 9 and 23 seconds after entry, and the fifth was wound down in pieces over 105 seconds. The buy was timed to be ahead of the next buyer, and the exit was timed to sell into that demand.
The two wallets are directly connected
On 2026-06-05 a single transaction moved 20 SOL from the suspected side wallet to the tracked wallet. The same transaction lists both wallets as accounts — this is a direct transfer, not an inferred relationship through a pool or a shared funder.
The pattern repeated across different tokens and different days
The five launches span 4, 6 and 7 August. The behaviour does not depend on a single token, a single day or a single market condition. The timing coefficient of variation across the set is 0.34 — the lead time was regular rather than random.
Direct connection
A single transaction between the two wallets, re-read from mainnet.
Chain-verified: the side wallet balance fell by 20.000006 SOL and the tracked wallet rose by exactly 20 SOL.
Token by token
For each launch: the side wallet buy and exit (both chain-verified), the recorded buy time of the tracked wallet, and the lead in seconds.

Dates: PONK / Finley / Manjrala 2026-08-04 · Sentient 2026-08-06 · Alexandre 2026-08-07. Every side-wallet buy and sell above was re-fetched from Solana mainnet; the tracked wallet buy times come from our recorded trade data.
Limitations
- •This is evidence of coordination, not proof of common ownership. On-chain data cannot establish who controls an address.
- •The tracked wallet is identified by the label "alxcooks" as recorded in our dataset; labels are attribution, not identity verification.
- •The buy timestamps for the tracked wallet come from our recorded trade data. The side wallet buys, sells and the SOL transfer were independently re-fetched from Solana mainnet and verified by slot and signature.
- •Selling within seconds of buying is not by itself wrong. The signal here is the combination: consistent 2-second leads, immediate exits, and a direct transfer between the two addresses.
- •Nothing in this report should be a legal conclusion or an accusation of unlawful activity.
Check it yourself
Every signature above opens on Solscan, where you can confirm the slot, the timestamp, the token amount and the accounts involved. If something here does not match the chain, tell us and we will correct it.
