What on-chain visibility provides
Solana exposes confirmed transaction data, account changes, token mints, instructions, and signatures. That can show what an address did on-chain, but not its owner, off-chain reasoning, other wallets, hedges, or future intent.
The copy trading pipeline
Each stage can introduce uncertainty, so observation and execution should never be described as the same event.
- Receive public transaction data
- Classify supported activity
- Apply user rules
- Create a separate decision
Execution is a new transaction
A copied trade is not a duplicate at the same ledger position. It is a new transaction with its own block timing, route, fees, slippage, balance constraints, and failure modes.
- Source transaction is already confirmed
- Follower transaction starts later
- Market state can change
- The follower may receive a different result
Practical follower controls
Controls reduce exposure to known conditions but cannot remove market risk.
- Trade and account exposure caps
- Maximum accepted slippage
- Token and venue allowlists
- Stale activity rejection
- A system-level execution lock
PumpCopy availability
PumpCopy currently supports account setup, signed wallet login, paper-first state, and transparent plan fees. Automated transaction ingestion and live execution remain gated until their reliability and reconciliation requirements are met.
