How to spot fake coins using global fees paid in literally 1 second without even opening any charts
What are Global Fees Paid?
These are the total priority fees (including Jito tips) paid across all transactions for a coin. Organic buys from real users generate higher fees because each trade incurs its own costs.
Why Bundled/Fake Coins Have Low Fees:
Scammers use Jito bundles (e.g., 20-50 buys/sells in one bundle) to fake volume and push graduation cheaply. This minimizes per-transaction fees, resulting in abnormally low global fees despite high volume or market cap.
if you look below these are two bonded projects from today.
XXV has a market cap of 138K with only 5 SOL in global fees. just by looking at this I can tell this is fake because 5 sol for 138K is extremely cheap. so this is a FAKE coin.
SONI under it has a marketcap of 48K with global fees of 18 SOL. do you see the difference? this is an organic project that had organic buys and sells indicating its not a fake coin. now obviously there could still be bundles in it but at-least it wont be one of those charts that insta rug to 0 as soon as you buy them
as a general rule of thumb for your graduated pairs you should have a minimum of 5 sol global fees paid. and for your about to graduate you can set 2 SOL global fees paid which will get rid of literally 99% of the scam projects and clean up your pulse/memescope
Also here is a quick calculation for you to utilize for global fees vs market cap
For every 10K MC you should have at-least 1-2 SOL in fees
if a coin is at 50K it should have 5-10 in global fees
if a coin is at 100K it should have 10-20 in global fees
the longer and the more the coin is being traded the higher the fees will be.
