Glossary
- Graduation
- The moment a launchpad token completes its curve and liquidity moves to a regular pool.
- Bundle
- A group of wallets that buy in the same block at launch, often controlled by one party.
- FDV
- Fully diluted value: price times total supply, including tokens not yet circulating.
- CTO
- Community takeover: holders relaunch a token after the team leaves.
Why Single Buys
A Single Buys alert means one tracked wallet bought the token.
Day to day, wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Turtles Lair follows Single Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.
A buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Turtles Lair uses the Single Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.
Start here: Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit. Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier.

Our method
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
Step 1
Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window.
Step 2
Look for bundled launch buys: several wallets buying in the same block.
Step 3
Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling.
Step 4
Look at what the creator address launched before and how those ended.
Step 5
Copy the full contract address from the alert, never the ticker.
Step 6
Look again after an hour, because early data on thin tokens shifts quickly.
