# The Axiom Pulse Glossary: Every Column, Filter and Signal Defined > What every Pulse column, filter and risk signal actually means, defined one term at a time, with the source and read date for each and a note where Axiom publishes no definition. Source: https://axiompedia.com/guides/trading/axiom-pulse-glossary Pulse throws about twenty pieces of vocabulary at you in the first thirty seconds, and Axiom's documentation defines some of them, mentions others in passing, and leaves a few entirely alone. This page defines every one, says where each definition came from, and marks the ones Axiom does not define rather than filling the gap with a guess. It is a reference, not a tutorial. If you want the operational read on how the feed behaves, [which filters actually cut the noise and what each column means](/guides/trading/axiom-pulse-explained) covers that. Come back here when a label on the screen does not mean what you assumed. Axiom's Pulse documentation defines fourteen filters. The count of sixteen that circulates in third-party guides, and that older pages on this site repeated, does not trace to any published Axiom enumeration we could find. Every filter defined below is one Axiom documents by name. *Source: [Axiom](https://axiom.trade/@axiompe), official product image* ## How to read this glossary Each entry gives the label as Pulse renders it, what it measures, and where the definition comes from. Three kinds of provenance appear: Documented means Axiom's own documentation defines the term, and the definition here follows that wording. Documented but underspecified means Axiom names the term and describes what it is for without publishing the rule that produces the number, which matters more than it sounds: a percentage you cannot reproduce is a percentage you have to take on trust. Undefined means Axiom uses the term and never explains it. Nothing in this glossary is a trading signal, and none of it says a token is good or bad. Several of these fields are classifications Axiom makes privately, and a classification you cannot audit is evidence, not proof. ## The token lifecycle stages Pulse's three columns are stages on one path: a token launches on a third-party bonding-curve launchpad, the curve fills, and the token migrates into an AMM pool. Both the launchpad and the AMM are separate protocols. Pulse reads their state rather than running them, so the migration is their event and not Axiom's. ### New Pairs Documented. Axiom describes this column as where you "view all the new pairs that were just created." Tokens appear here at creation, newest at the top, and most of them are minutes or seconds old. Nothing about appearing in this column implies the token is worth anything; it means the bonding curve exists. ### Final Stretch Documented. Tokens "close to completing their bonding curve and migrating to Raydium." Axiom does not publish the threshold at which a token moves into this column, so how close "close" is is not something you can derive from published material. This is the column [migration sniping](/guides/trading/axiom-pulse-explained) is aimed at, because completion is the moment the token re-prices onto a real pool. ### Migrated to Raydium Documented. "All the tokens that made it to Raydium with the newest ones at the top." A token here has a live AMM pool, which means real liquidity and a chart worth reading. It also means the launch phase is over and whatever repricing happened at migration has already happened. ## The filters Fourteen, all documented by name in Axiom's Pulse documentation. Every one is a range or threshold you set once and save; nobody sets all fourteen every session. ### Age (mins) Documented. Token age in minutes, measured from creation. Axiom's stated purpose is identifying newly launched tokens. ### Top 10 Holders % Documented. The percentage of supply held by the ten largest wallets. Axiom's documentation says lower values indicate more decentralization, which is true as far as it goes and worth reading carefully: ten wallets can be ten people or one person with ten wallets, and the number cannot tell them apart. It is the filter most traders cap first, usually alongside a liquidity floor. ### Dev Holding % Documented but underspecified. The percentage of supply held by developers, which Axiom frames as helping assess potential risk from large dev-controlled holdings. Axiom does not publish how it decides which wallets are the developer's. That attribution is the whole number, so treat it as Axiom's judgment rather than an on-chain fact. ### Snipers % Documented but underspecified. The percentage of early buyers Axiom classifies as snipers, with Axiom noting that a high percentage may indicate bot activity. What makes a buyer a sniper rather than an early human buyer is not published. ### Insiders % Documented but underspecified. The percentage held by insiders, which Axiom's documentation describes as private sales and team members. How Axiom identifies either from chain data is not published. Axiom's own text raises pump-and-dump risk in connection with this filter without defining the term. ### Bundle % Documented but underspecified. The percentage of supply held in bundle wallets, offered as a way to assess token distribution. See the [Bundle Checker](#bundle-checker) entry below for the related tool, which measures something different. ### Holders Documented. The count of unique wallets holding the token. Axiom says more holders usually indicate higher adoption and stability. Wallets are not people, and a launch can manufacture holder count cheaply, so a high count is a floor on plausibility rather than a signal. ### Pro Traders Documented but underspecified. Axiom describes this as the percentage of experienced traders holding or trading the token. What qualifies a trader as experienced is not published anywhere we could find, which makes this the least reproducible number in the filter set. ### Liquidity ($) Documented. A minimum and maximum on the dollar liquidity in the token's pool. Axiom notes that higher liquidity means better price stability. This is the filter that decides how much slippage a given trade size will cost you, so it is worth setting before you size a position rather than after. ### Volume ($) Documented. Total trading volume within a set time period, used to find active tokens. ### Market Cap ($) Documented. Axiom defines it plainly as price multiplied by supply. On a fresh launch that figure moves fast enough that it is stale by the time you read it. ### Txns Documented. The number of transactions, meaning swaps, in the period. Axiom says a high number suggests active trading. ### Num Buys Documented. The count of buy transactions, which Axiom frames as a way to assess buying pressure. ### Num Sells Documented. The count of sell transactions, framed the same way for selling pressure. Read alongside Num Buys rather than alone; either number without the other says very little. ## The risk and security indicators ### Bundle Checker Documented. A tool, not a filter, and the distinction matters. It flags when four or more transactions land in the same block on a token, which Axiom calls a bundle signature. It works at any point in a token's life rather than only at launch, and Axiom says it filters out bundlers whose pattern is inconsistent with ordinary trading. What the wallets behind the pattern intended is not something the tool establishes, and not something this site can determine either. ### Quick Buy Documented. The lightning-bolt button that executes a preset SOL amount against a token straight from the feed. The preset is yours to set; [the settings worth changing before your first trade](/guides/trading/best-axiom-trade-settings) covers what to put in it, and [Axiom's MEV protection modes](/guides/trading/axiom-mev-protection-modes-explained) covers the setting that decides how the resulting transaction is routed. ### OG Mode Documented. Axiom's name for the Similar Tokens view, described as surfacing the oldest tokens with the highest market caps. Axiom does not define what makes a token old in technical terms, and its own rationale text refers to "pumps" and "legacy status" without explaining either. ### Dex Paid Documented, but not a Pulse filter. It belongs to Explore Tokens and filters for tokens that have paid for a DEX listing. It appears here because it gets attributed to Pulse constantly in third-party guides. ## Terms Pulse uses differently from the rest of Solana A few labels mean something narrower on Axiom than they do elsewhere, and mixing the two up is where most of the confusion starts. **Sniper** in general Solana usage means anyone buying at launch. On Pulse it is a classification Axiom applies, reported as a percentage, and it is not the same thing as Axiom's own Sniper Buy feature, which is the automation that buys at migration. **Bundle** carries two meanings inside Axiom alone. Bundle % is a supply share held in wallets Axiom marks as bundled. Bundle Checker is a block-level pattern detector. A token can score low on one and get flagged by the other. **Insider** on Pulse means private sales and team members specifically, per Axiom's definition. It does not carry the securities-law sense of the word, and nothing in the number implies wrongdoing. **Migrated** means the bonding curve completed and a Raydium pool exists. It says nothing about the project, the team, or whether the token will still trade tomorrow. **Memescope** is not an Axiom term at all. It belongs to [Photon](/compare/axiom-vs-photon), and reviewers who call Pulse "Discover" are usually describing Explore Tokens, which is a different surface. ## Methodology and last updated Every definition above was taken from Axiom's published documentation, read on 18 August 2026: the [Pulse page](https://docs.axiom.trade/axiom/finding-tokens/pulse) for the columns and the fourteen filters, the Explore Tokens page for Dex Paid, and the Similar Tokens page for OG Mode. Where Axiom's own wording defines a term, this page follows it. Where Axiom names a term and does not publish the rule that produces its number, the entry says so instead of inventing one. Two things this page deliberately does not do. It does not report an interface version, because Axiom does not publish one and inventing a version string would make the methodology note worth less than no note at all. And it does not claim a filter count Axiom has not published: fourteen is what the documentation enumerates, sixteen is what third-party guides repeat, and until Axiom publishes a list of sixteen this page will keep saying fourteen. Axiom ships fast and this vocabulary will drift. The read date above is the one to compare against; if a label on your screen does not match an entry here, your screen is right and this page is behind.

Axiom's Pulse documentation defines fourteen: Age, Top 10 Holders %, Dev Holding %, Snipers %, Insiders %, Bundle %, Holders, Pro Traders, Liquidity, Volume, Market Cap, Txns, Num Buys and Num Sells. A count of sixteen circulates widely in third-party guides, and we have not found a published Axiom source that enumerates sixteen. Read 18 August 2026. ### What does Dev Holding % mean on Axiom Pulse? The share of a token's supply held by its developer wallets. Axiom's documentation frames it as a way to assess potential risk from large dev-controlled holdings. Axiom does not publish how it decides which wallets count as the developer, so the number depends on a classification you cannot audit. ### What is the difference between Snipers % and Insiders % on Axiom? Axiom defines Snipers % as the percentage of early buyers it classifies as snipers, and says a high figure may indicate bot activity. Insiders % is defined separately as the percentage held by insiders, which Axiom's documentation describes as private sales and team members. The two are different classifications and Axiom publishes the rule behind neither. ### What does Bundle % mean on Axiom Pulse? The percentage of supply held in wallets Axiom identifies as bundle wallets. It is a distribution measure. It is related to but separate from the Bundle Checker tool, which flags four or more transactions landing in the same block rather than reporting a supply share. ### Are New Pairs, Final Stretch and Migrated to Raydium risk levels? No. They are lifecycle stages describing how far a token has moved from a launchpad bonding curve to an AMM pool, and Axiom describes them that way. Risk tends to track the stages loosely because liquidity does, but the column is not a risk rating and Axiom does not present it as one.
