Understand Popdex attention markets
Popdex is an attention-market product. These docs explain what you are seeing on Popdex.io before you connect a wallet, preview a trade, provide liquidity, or submit a transaction.
Start here if you want to understand the Bonding phase, Graduation, Bonded markets, Buzz, Price, quotes, liquidity, and why displayed market data may differ from final execution.
Current status
Popdex is currently in early-access testing. The intended public launch status is Mainnet Beta on Solana. Until the app and Terms of Service are updated for Mainnet Beta, use the current network and status shown in the app and in your wallet before approving any transaction.
Risk reminder
Popdex is experimental. Quotes are previews, market data may be delayed or stale, transactions can fail, and wallet-approved blockchain transactions may be irreversible. In Mainnet Beta, transactions may involve real assets. Popdex docs do not provide financial, investment, legal, tax, or trading advice.
Start with the basics

Understanding Buzz
Learn what Buzz and Price mean, how to read them safely, and why they are market information rather than recommendations.
Understanding Buzz Reset
Learn how weekly Buzz periods work, why Buzz returns to 100 without resetting Current Price, and when a reset is applied on-chain.
Graduation
