THE STORY · FACTUAL SUMMARY

Current trend: Solana trading apps are competing on different scoreboards. Blockworks’ 26 October analysis reported Pump’s average daily Solana volume at $29 million versus Fomo’s $32 million for the preceding week, while daily traders were 72,000 versus 58,000. That puts Pump ahead on the reported trader metric, but behind on volume. These are dated activity measures, not live figures or a count of unique people.

HIS MAJESTY’S ASSESSMENT · OPINION
Two apps, two scoreboards, enough victory laps for both. I propose a third contest: how long can either let you leave your phone alone? The judges have already checked theirs.
