Glossary

Definitions used throughout this document. Where Thesium uses terminology from the broader trading vernacular, the meaning here is the one we apply in the product.

• Address. A token's on-chain contract address. Thesium identifies every token by its address - never by symbol or name, which can collide.
• Audit. The fourth panel in the side panel - the security/honeypot read for EVM tokens. Surfaces buy/sell/transfer simulation outcomes and a top-line verdict.
• Bundler wallet. A wallet that participates in transaction bundles - typically buys executed alongside the deploy in a single block via private mempools. A high bundler rate at launch is a signal that supply was front-loaded to insiders rather than fairly distributed.
• Chain. Layer-1 or layer-2 blockchain on which the token exists. Thesium identifies the chain from the URL - never asks the user to pick one.
• Conviction score. A 0–100 number produced by the AI generation layer that summarizes how strongly the signals on a token point in one direction. Reproducible per snapshot.
• Feed. The third panel in the side panel - a unified timeline of social posts and thesis articles relevant to the token, filtered against the wallet graph.
• Fresh wallet. A wallet that was created shortly before its first transaction on the token. High fresh-wallet rates are common in airdrops, farmed launches, and Sybil clusters.
• Influencer. A wallet attached to a public identity with audience reach but without the curation bar applied to KOL designation. Tier classification in Thesium's wallet graph.
• Insider. A wallet linked behaviorally or by attribution to the token's deploy, dev team, or pre-launch distribution. Tier classification in Thesium's wallet graph.
• KOL (Key Opinion Leader). A wallet attached to a public identity (handle, named persona) with audience influence. Tier classification in Thesium's wallet graph.
• Lore. A short, human-readable explanation of what a token is - its meme origin, its references, the joke or thesis behind it. Generated by Thesium's AI pipeline. Cached per address.
• MV3. Manifest V3 - the current Chrome extension API standard. Thesium is an MV3 extension, with the constraints and capabilities that implies (service-worker background, declarative side panel, no persistent background pages).
• Padre. Trading terminal at trade.padre.gg. Multi-chain.
• PnL (Profit and Loss). Realized plus unrealized profit on a position, in USD. Thesium reports both components separately and as a total.
• Pool. An automated-market-maker (AMM) liquidity pool. For some terminals, the URL identifies the pool rather than the underlying token.
• Rat-trader wallet. A wallet that exhibits a behavioral pattern of small, fast in-and-out trades - typically front-running or scalping rather than holding.
• Sentiment. A categorical read on the token's near-term direction. Thesium uses three values: bullish, mixed, bearish. Always paired with the conviction score and the signals behind it.
• Side panel. Chrome's native side-panel surface. A dedicated vertical surface attached to the browser window, separate from the page DOM. Thesium uses Chrome's sidePanel API rather than injecting an iframe.
• Signal. A discrete input into the conviction score. Examples: volume trend, holder concentration, KOL inflow direction, social velocity. The Trenches Pulse exposes three highlighted signals that drove the current score.
• Smart money. A wallet that has demonstrated consistent profitable behavior across multiple historical trades. Tier classification in Thesium's wallet graph. Smart money is not necessarily named - many smart-money wallets are anonymous but have a verifiable on-chain track record.
• Sniper wallet. A wallet that buys within the first one or two blocks of a token's launch. Top-N sniper hold rate is a structural metric: how much of the supply is still held by the first N wallets to buy.
• Snapshot. The complete object Thesium maintains per (tab, page URL) pair - token info, lore, AI summary, holders, KOL positions, feed, audit, plus loading flags for each section. The side panel renders from the current snapshot.
• Source. The terminal a token page belongs to. Thesium recognizes five sources: axiom.trade, gmgn.ai, padre.gg, basedbot.app, photon-sol.tinyastro.io.
• Terminal. A trading platform on which traders execute swaps. Thesium supports five at launch: AXIOM, GMGN, Photon, Padre, Basedbot.
• Tier. The classification assigned to a wallet in Thesium's wallet graph - KOL, Smart Money, Whale, Influencer, or Insider. Tier is the qualitative judgment about why a wallet matters, separate from the quantitative position data on any single token.
• Trenches Pulse. The composite output of the AI generation layer for a token: sentiment + conviction + three highlighted signals.
• Whale. A wallet whose position sizes are large in absolute terms relative to typical trader behavior on the chain. Tier classification in Thesium's wallet graph. Whales are tracked because their entries and exits move thin markets, regardless of identity.
