Why KOTH
A KOTH alert means a pump.fun token reached the King of the Hill slot on the launchpad.
For DD - Due Diligence, the first hours of a token decide most outcomes. DD - Due Diligence follows KOTH on Solana because that is where supply, liquidity and holder spread are still settling.
As a rule, a curve that completes tells you demand existed. It does not tell you who holds the supply. DD - Due Diligence pairs every KOTH print with a look at holders and liquidity.
First look: Look at the holder count trend over the first hour; a flat count with rising volume points to wash trading. Check the top ten holders, the share held by the deployer and whether liquidity is locked or burned before anything else.

Check

Read the top ten holders and remove pools and burn addresses from the count.
5
Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast.
