What is GMGN?

GMGN is a multi-chain memecoin trading terminal that runs at gmgn.ai, in Telegram bots and in mobile apps. It exists because memecoin trading needs three things at once: finding a token early, judging whether it is a trap, and buying before the price moves.

Where does the name come from?

GMGN stands for "Good Morning, Good Night". Traders greet each other that way in chats that never close, and the product leans on the same idea: alerts, automation and copy trading keep working while you sleep. You will see the brand written as GMGN, GMGN.AI, GMGN.ai and GMGN AI. They are one product, and the official address is gmgn.ai.

What does GMGN actually do?

Three jobs, in order:

• Discovery. Trenches lists pools the moment they are created; Trending ranks tokens that already have volume; filters cut by market cap, liquidity and age.
• Analysis. Each token page shows developer holdings, the insider ratio, top 10 holder concentration, the first 70 buyers and whether they still hold, plus labels on wallets such as Smart Money, KOL, Sniper and Scammer.
• Execution. Market and limit orders, take-profit and stop-loss levels, trailing exits, copy trading and event-driven orders such as selling when the token creator sells.

The detail of each tool, and which chain it works on, is in GMGN features tool by tool.

Who is behind GMGN?

GMGN runs no leadership page and names no executives in its own documentation, which is normal for on-chain tooling and worth knowing before you deposit. The most detailed public account comes from a research article published by Gate, last updated 2 April 2026: it dates the platform to 2024, names Jerry Ma as founder and a trader known as Haze as co-founder, and describes a team of roughly 30 people. That is third-party reporting rather than a GMGN announcement, so we label it as such.

What you can verify directly are the properties GMGN controls: the terminal at gmgn.ai, the documentation, the X account, the GitHub organisation publishing its agent skills, and the App Store and Google Play listings. All of them are listed on our verified links page, which is the page to check before trusting anything carrying this brand.

How is GMGN different from swapping on a DEX?

A DEX interface will execute a swap, but it will not tell you that the developer holds 14% of supply, that the first 70 buyers have already sold, or that a wallet with a winning record just bought. GMGN adds that layer, then keeps you in the same window to act on it. The trade-off is the 1% fee and a custodial wallet model.

How big is it?

Independent data helps here, because usage claims are easy to invent. DefiLlama tracks GMGN fee revenue across ten chains: about $315 million all-time, and $50.5 million in the 30 days to 13 September 2026. At the documented 1% rate, that last figure implies roughly $5 billion of trades in a month. Robinhood Chain and BSC produced most of it; the chain-by-chain split is in our chain-by-chain breakdown.

What does it cost, and what is the catch?

The cost is simple: 1% per trade, plus gas and whatever priority or tip fee you choose. The catch is custody. GMGN generates wallets for you and its documentation states that private keys cannot be exported on any chain, so leaving means withdrawing funds rather than moving keys. Withdrawals need Google Authenticator and a whitelisted address. We walk through the whole model in is GMGN safe, and the cost layers in what a GMGN trade really costs.

Where do you start?

Open the real site, log in with Telegram, fund the network you intend to trade, and place a small first trade with sensible slippage. The step-by-step version is how to use GMGN, and you should check every address against our verified GMGN links first, because clones of this brand are common.
