What Mob will never do, what to watch for, and the words used across Mob.
What Mob will never do
DM you first. Not on X, Telegram or anywhere else.
Ask for a seed phrase or a private key, ever.
Ask you to connect a wallet anywhere except on mob.markets.
Hold your funds. Every trade is signed in your own wallet.
Sell you a Mob token. Mob has no token. If that changes, the address will be on the Legal page and posted by @mob_markets, nowhere else.

Where to see it
Why it matters
The creator sold

The person who launched it is out. Often the end.
Many plants

Prepared buyers at the first second, often waiting to sell to you.
Many rats
Rats on the Family panel
Holders dumping more than half at once.
A farm
A theme on the Count: all from one wallet

Thin liquidity
Liquidity on a case file; price impact on a quote
Small trades move the price a lot, both ways.
FAQ
Why is a coin not on film?
Mob films pump.fun coins for their first half hour, because that's the window it records every trade. Coins from other launchpads, and older pump.fun coins, get a case file with their numbers.
Does Mob show every coin?
The Count shows the busiest, newest and graduated coins across pump.fun, LaunchLab and the launchpads Jupiter tags, and hides names on a blocklist. Any coin can still be opened by pasting its address.
Is a coin on the Count recommended?
No. It means people are trading it. Nothing on Mob is advice.
Is my wallet address stored?
No. To show your balance, Mob reads it from the chain and doesn't keep it. See Privacy.
What does the 0.5% swap fee pay for?
Running Mob. 0.4% goes to Mob's revenue vault, a two-of-two multisig, and 0.1% to Jupiter.
