Mobula attributes each swap to exactly one frontend using referral tags. A pump.fun token bought via GMGN counts under GMGN, not pump.fun. So both reflect genuine frontend-attributed activity. The difference is that pump.fun's activity skews heavily toward bots and micro-trades on bonding-curve launches, while GMGN and Axiom serve more secondary-market trading." - q: "Why is Fomo's average trade size lower than GMGN despite similar positioning?"
