Bitquery found that roughly 1.3 seconds after launch, about 53% of new Pump.fun coins received an outside buy in an earlier sample, versus 52% later. Detected sandwich trading patterns also continued across Solana's earlier block-time reductions. Both comparisons stopped on October 7, before Solana's final reduction to a 200-millisecond slot target on October 9. Bitquery's outside-buy indicator does not establish that every qualifying buyer used automation or engaged in predatory trading.
