215 tokens had no matching pool returned by DexScreener at 24 hours. Survival is measured per token against its own graduation market cap, then aggregated per launchpad. 4,312 tokens without a reliable graduation market cap (none, or under $1,000) are left out (counted over the last 14 days of retained follow-ups). Tokens archived before 30 Sep 2026 were summarised under the earlier rule (any graduation market cap above $0), so the all-history totals still include some of them. Meteora DBC is left out of this total: its pools migrate at creation and its tokens are also counted by the launchpads built on it. n = eligible tokens measured within the horizon window. A rate needs at least 30 of them. The median multiple is the median of market cap at the horizon divided by market cap at graduation. Download: JSON · CSV.

Frequently asked questions
What does survival mean here?
For every graduation the engine records the market cap at graduation and schedules three follow-ups: 1 hour, 24 hours and 7 days later. Survival is the share of followed tokens whose market cap at the horizon is at or above the market cap at graduation. The median multiple is the median of market cap at horizon divided by market cap at graduation.
Where do the follow-up prices come from?
Only observations with a known graduation time, a graduation market cap of at least $1,000 measured within 10 minutes, and a follow-up measured within 10 minutes of its due time enter the comparison. No matching pool is a missing observation, not evidence of delisting. Late, estimated and unsupported observations are excluded.
Why is the sample smaller than the number of graduations?
A follow-up only counts once its horizon has passed and a price was found. The 7-day column fills a week after the first graduations; horizons that had already passed when a token was first seen are skipped rather than measured late.
