Velocy

Accelerating now

On the wire

Stories the engine is tracking right now. They appear above with a coin drafted once they accelerate past the threshold and clear the safety and memeability gates.

Reading the score

Velocity is the change in publication rate, not the article count. A story at 200 articles already peaked; one going 3 to 40 in ten minutes has not.

Phase is the shape of that curve. Only igniting and climbing still have room ahead of them — peaking and fading are dimmed.

Reactions come from Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky and X. Views come from YouTube — the only source that reports them.

News wires publish no view counts at all, so per-minute growth is the reach signal. Instagram has no public search API and is not collectable.

How it works

Most launchpads show you what is already big. By the time a story has a thousand articles, everyone who was going to trade it has traded it. Velocy measures the derivative — how fast attention is changing — so a story surfaces while it is still climbing.

Eighteen wires, polled every sixty seconds

Reuters, AP, BBC, CNN, TechCrunch, The Verge, CoinDesk, ESPN and more, plus GDELT's global index for stories no US wire carries. Every headline is deduplicated on arrival.

Headlines cluster into stories

Incremental IDF-weighted containment matching, with a suffix stemmer so "escapes" and "escaped" collapse into one term. Document frequency counts distinct stories, not articles — otherwise a viral story drives its own defining word's weight to zero and stops matching its own follow-ups. A consolidation pass merges fragments that arrived apart.

Ranked by acceleration, not volume

Score is dominated by the change in publication rate — the second derivative — weighted by source diversity, with exponential decay past peak. A story at 200 articles already peaked. A story going 3 to 40 in ten minutes has not. Five outlets beat five reprints of one wire.

Social engagement, measured as a rate

Reddit, Hacker News, Bluesky and X for reactions; YouTube for real view counts. Posts are re-polled, so what you see is growth per minute — a post frozen at 8,000 upvotes looks identical to a live one if you only store the current number.

Two gates before anything surfaces

A keyword blocklist rejects death, violence, disaster, illness and anything involving minors before a single token is spent. Then a language model scores whether the story is actually coin-shaped. Both fail closed: if the classifier cannot run, nothing surfaces.

Trajectory phase

Velocity tells you speed. Phase tells you direction. Two stories both reading 18.0 are different trades — one is nine minutes old and doubling, the other peaked at 45 and is falling. Only igniting and climbing still have room ahead of them.

The coin is drafted before you arrive

Name, ticker, description, alternate angles and artwork are generated the moment a story clears the gate and cached on disk. Generating at launch time would make you wait thirty seconds at the exact moment the story peaks.

Claim locks the story to you

Ninety seconds, one wallet. While claimed, the ticker and name are hidden from everyone else — publishing what is about to launch hands snipers better advance notice than the chain does.

Non-custodial launch, bundled

Metadata is pinned to IPFS, the transaction is built by PumpPortal and signed in your own wallet. Velocy never holds a key or a lamport. Your first buy is bundled atomically with the create through Jito, so nobody front-runs you on your own token.

The article travels with the coin

Every launch carries a permanent link to the article it came from — in the token metadata and in the description, so it survives on pump.fun, on DEX screeners, anywhere the token is viewed. Attribution picks the outlet that broke the story, never an aggregator.

Snipers exposed, not hidden

Nobody can stop sniping once a token exists. So every launch shows who bought in the first thirty seconds and how much they took — including same-slot wallet clusters, which is one actor through several wallets rather than organic demand.

Holders, concentration and a track record

Holder distribution is read from the chain with the bonding curve excluded, so percentages mean something. And the track record panel shows how launches from this feed actually performed — including the ones that went to zero.

Every story has a velocity. Launch before it peaks.
