$Pools

The dev is one of 2 linked wallets; together they created 4 coins we checked.

Coins they created: $APU, $APU, $Pools, $CAP

Linked when one first funded the other, or both bought in the same small launch crew. Busy wallets (exchanges, services) are never used to join wallets.

• The story behind itThe coin's story is an X post by @poolsworks (verified) with 31 likes. It was posted 1 h before the coin's first pool. The post names this coin. 2 other coins we checked use the same post. source
• Website doesn't show this token's addressThe token's address doesn't appear on its website or in the site's code; the site shows other addresses (BPFL…1111, Sysv…1111, Sysv…1111). source
• On-chain features in the codeThe site's code contains wallet or contract code. source
• Website age vs launchThe Internet Archive first saved the site on the day the coin launched. source
• Liquidity depthPool liquidity is $0, 0.0% of the $4.9K market cap. Selling 1% of the supply (about $49) would get roughly 100.0% less than the quoted price (estimate for a standard pool). source
• Same ticker elsewhere22 other coins trade as $Pools. The biggest is pools.trade on Robinhood Chain ($218K, first pool 3mo ago). It is older and bigger than this one, so check you have the address you meant. source

• Reused X postThe X post x.com/poolsworks/status/2119195658896683483 is also listed by 2 other coins we checked: $Pools ×2. 2 of them came earlier. source
• Reused websiteThe website pools.works is also listed by 4 other coins we checked: $POOLS, $ELON, $Pools ×2. So many coins list it that it's most likely someone else's, borrowed for the story. source

• Checked isn't the same as safe: these checks describe what the token allows and what the website runs, not what anyone will do.
• "Nothing found" means not visible on the public page; servers and private code are invisible to us. Not financial advice.
