How GoTail works
Trading, launching, following and earning on GoTail, in plain words. If something here does not match what you see in the app, tell us on X.
What is GoTail
GoTail is a social trading terminal on Solana. You trade any Solana coin, launch your own in about a minute, and see who is buying, why they bought and how they are doing, right on the chart. Tail is trader slang for copying someone's play. GoTail is built for tailing people whose record you can check.
- Chain
- Solana
- GoTail fee on trades
- 0%, you pay only the Solana network fee
- Launchpad
- Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve, paired with SOL
- Sign-in
- Solana wallet only (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and others)
- Token
- $TAIL, contract address published at launch
Getting started
- 1Connect a wallet. Press Connect wallet and pick your Solana wallet. Then sign one free message so GoTail knows the wallet is yours. No email, no password.
- 2Hold some SOL. Trades and launches are paid in SOL from your own wallet. Keep a little extra for network fees.
- 3Find a coin. Use Trending, Top or New in the terminal, search by name or ticker, or paste a contract address.
- 4Trade. Pick an amount, check the quote and press Buy. Your wallet asks you to sign, and the trade lands in seconds.
- 5Say why. Post a thesis on the coin. While you hold it, your post carries a live position badge.
Trading
Jupiter quotes and routes every trade across Solana's DEXs and launchpads, including fresh Meteora curves. GoTail adds no fee. Your wallet signs the transaction, then GoTail sends it through its own Solana RPC and keeps re-sending until it lands or its blockhash expires. You always see one of three results: confirmed, failed or expired. An expired trade never ran, so it cost nothing.
The chart runs from 1 minute to 1 week candles and switches between market cap and price. Faces show trades made by GoTail users on the candle where they happened. Pins mark the moment someone posted a thesis. Under the chart you get the coin's feed, its top holders with funding clusters, and live swaps. The right panel holds the trade form, your position, 24 hour order flow, the best GoTail traders in the coin and token safety data.
GoTail only counts trades it can verify. After a swap confirms, the server reads the transaction from the chain and records what your wallet actually gained and spent. Those records drive PnL, the leaderboard and position badges.
Launching a coin
- 1Name and ticker. Any ticker is allowed. Two coins can share a name, so the contract address is what identifies a coin.
- 2Logo and story. Upload a square logo and add a description and links if you want. GoTail serves the metadata.
- 3Creator fee. Pick 0 to 5% of every trade. A higher fee earns you more and makes trading pricier.
- 4Dev buy. Optionally buy the first tokens inside the launch transaction, so nobody buys before you.
- 5Launch. Approve in your wallet. Your coin is live and tradable as soon as the transaction confirms.
- Supply
- 1,000,000,000 (6 decimals)
- Mint authority
- Revoked: nobody can mint more
- Metadata
- Immutable
- Pair
- SOL
- Starting market cap
- about 37 SOL
- Graduation
- about 620 SOL market cap, when 122 SOL sits in the curve
- After graduation
- Meteora DAMM v2 pool, liquidity locked forever
- Anti-sniper fee
- starts at 50% and decays to your tier over 2 minutes
The bonding curve raises the price as people buy and lowers it as they sell, and it always has liquidity. When the curve fills, Meteora moves the coin into a DAMM v2 pool on its own. Half of that pool's liquidity is locked for the creator and half for GoTail, both permanently, so nobody can pull it.
Your share of fees collects in SOL inside the pool. Open your coin's page and press Claim now to send it to your wallet at any time.
| You pick | Pool fee per trade | You get | GoTail | Meteora |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0% | 1.25% | 0.00% | 1.00% | 0.25% |
| 1% | 2.50% | 1.00% | 1.00% | 0.50% |
| 2% | 3.75% | 2.01% | 0.99% | 0.75% |
| 3% | 5.00% | 3.00% | 1.00% | 1.00% |
| 4% | 6.25% | 4.00% | 1.00% | 1.25% |
| 5% | 7.50% | 4.98% | 1.02% | 1.50% |
Contracts
GoTail deploys no token contracts of its own. Meteora's audited programs create and trade every coin, using curve configs that fix the curve shape, the graduation point and the fee split. Configs cannot change after they are created.

- Meteora DAMM v2

- GoTail configs
- Each launch creates its own config in the same flow until the shared configs are published here.
The social layer
Posts and theses say why someone is in a coin. Each coin has its own feed, and the Chill tab shows everything. A thesis carries a badge with the author's live position and PnL, and the badge disappears the moment they stop holding.
Follow traders to fill your circle, join rooms for longer conversations, and check anyone's profile for their posts, open positions, win rate and followers. The leaderboard ranks people by PnL from verified GoTail trades over 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or all time.
Referrals
Your referral link is your handle: /@yourname on the GoTail site, and any profile address works the same way. Whoever opens your link and connects a wallet within 30 days becomes your referral. The first link a browser opens wins, and a referral never changes after sign-up. If you rename yourself, links with the old handle still point to you.
The Refer page counts clicks, unique visitors, sign-ups, and the trades, volume and launches of everyone you brought, day by day.
$TAIL
$TAIL is GoTail's token and it has not launched yet. We publish the contract address on launch day in the app and on our X account. Until then, any coin calling itself $TAIL is not ours.
$2 bonus
- 1Connect a wallet. The bonus goes to the wallet you sign in with.
- 2Post on X. Write about GoTail and tag @GoTail. The Payouts page gives you a starting text with your referral link.
- 3Paste the link. Submit your X handle and the link to the post from the Payouts page.
- 4Get paid. An admin checks the post and sends $2 in SOL from the treasury. The transfer appears on the Payouts page with its Solscan link.
One bonus per wallet and per X account. Copy-paste spam, deleted posts and fresh empty accounts are not approved.
Data sources
- Prices, candles, swaps, holders
- Jupiter data API, GeckoTerminal as a fallback
- Routing and quotes
- Jupiter
- Pairs and coin links
- DexScreener
- SOL, BTC, ETH
- CoinGecko
- Launchpad
- Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve and DAMM v2
- Wallet connection
- Privy
GoTail's servers fetch market data once and serve the same copy to everyone, refreshed every few seconds. Holder clusters group top holders that were funded from the same wallet, which often means one person runs them.
Wallet and security
Your coins stay in your own wallet. Privy connects it and GoTail never sees or stores a private key. Signing in costs one free message signature, which proves the wallet is yours and opens a session for seven days. Every trade, launch and claim asks your wallet for approval, and you can reject any of them.
Nobody from GoTail will ask for your seed phrase or private key, in DMs or anywhere else.

FAQ
Why does a market cap differ from another site?
Sites refresh at different moments and some count a different supply. GoTail uses price times the circulating supply that Jupiter reports.
My trade says expired. Did I lose money?
No. An expired transaction never ran, so nothing left your wallet. Try again.
Can two coins share a ticker?
Yes. Check the contract address. Links in the form /c/<address> open the exact coin.
When does my coin graduate?
When 122 SOL sits in its curve, around 620 SOL market cap. The coin page shows how far along it is.
Can anyone remove a GoTail coin's liquidity?
No. Graduated liquidity sits in a Meteora DAMM v2 pool, permanently locked, and you can verify that on-chain.
Is this financial advice?
No. Memecoins swing hard and can go to zero. Trade only what you can afford to lose.
