CA and market cap
The two numbers every trade starts with.
The CA is the coin. A contract address (CA) is the coin's unique ID on Solana. Names and tickers get copied by scammers every day. The CA never does. Trade the CA, not the name.
Where you find it. Someone posts it on X or Telegram, or you copy it from the launchpad page. Paste it into the box at the top of Pulse and the coin page opens.
Market cap is a label. Market cap is price times total supply. It tells you how big the coin looks on paper. It does not tell you how much money is actually there.
A $1M coin with $0 behind it. If a coin has a $1M market cap and $4K of liquidity, almost nobody can sell. The number is big; the exit is tiny.
Read both, every time. Market cap for size. Liquidity for whether you can leave. The coin page shows both at the top for a reason.
