## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the difference between Pump.fun and Raydium pools?">
    Pump.fun tokens trade on a bonding curve until graduation; once they graduate, liquidity is migrated to a Raydium AMM pool. Use `ranking/sol/migrated` to find recently graduated tokens.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I filter trades by DEX?">
    In GraphQL, use the `dexProgram` selector to filter by Raydium's program address. In REST, trades are returned across all DEXes — check the `dex` field in the response to identify Raydium trades.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I track Raydium pool events in real time?">
    Yes. Use WebSocket subscriptions for real-time pool and trade updates. See [Real-time Streaming](/en/docs/access-methods/websocket) for setup instructions.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
