# About GMGNGuide - Written by Concept211, Active Trader & Developer | GMGNGuide > GMGNGuide is built by Concept211 (@Concept211), an active GMGN trader and bot developer. Our mission, our sourcing rules, and exactly how the referral relationship works. Source: https://gmgnguide.com/about # Built by a Trader, for Traders Concept211 [@Concept211](https://x.com/Concept211)Trades memecoins on GMGN across Solana, BSC and Base. Builds automated tooling on the GMGN API. Hey, I'm [Concept211](https://x.com/Concept211), the person behind GMGNGuide. I trade memecoins, write trading automation, and got tired of watching search results for GMGN fill up with affiliate pages quoting fee discounts that do not exist. I use GMGN daily across Solana, BSC and Base: the trenches feed, wallet tracking, copy trading, limit orders, and the Telegram bots. I have spent a lot of hours working out which settings actually cost money, which error codes mean what, and where the platform's documentation contradicts its own terms of service. I also build against the GMGN API, so when I write about rate limits, routing or execution, it is from having hit those limits. Most “guide” sites in this niche are affiliate pages with a thin layer of content on top, or they are reprints of a review written a year ago about a product that has changed underneath them. This site is the resource I wanted when I started. ## My Mission Be the reference people actually trust for GMGN. Every guide is written from use, checked against the official docs, dated, and revised when the platform changes. Where something cannot be verified, the page says so instead of guessing. ## Full Transparency This site earns from GMGN's referral program. If you open GMGN through our [referral link](https://gmgn.ai/r/ggguide) with code **ggguide**, one thing happens: GMGN pays us a share of the trading fees you were going to pay anyway. - **You get nothing extra.** GMGN's referral program pays the referrer 10% to 30% and gives the referred user no discount, no rebate and no bonus - **You pay nothing extra either.** The fee is a flat 1% with or without a code, so the commission comes out of GMGN's cut rather than being added to yours Plenty of sites in this niche advertise a 10% or 15% fee discount for using their code. GMGN documents no such thing, and the pages making that claim cannot agree on the number, which is the tell. The full breakdown is on the [referral page](https://gmgnguide.com/referral). Saying this plainly costs us conversions and is still the right call. ## About GMGN Itself GMGN launched in June 2023 as a smart-money tracking tool on Ethereum, and the name is short for “Good Morning, Good Night”. It added trade execution later, pivoted onto Solana in early 2024, and is now a multichain terminal and Telegram bot suite covering Solana, BSC, Ethereum, Base, Tron and Blast. The team is roughly 30 people, has raised no disclosed outside funding, and has collected about $240M in lifetime trading fees according to DefiLlama. That is an unusual company profile for this category, and it is a large part of why the product is worth covering properly. The longer version is in [what GMGN is](https://gmgnguide.com/ecosystem/what-is-gmgn). This site sits in a small family of independent venue guides I run. Axiom, which turns up in nearly every GMGN comparison, is covered at [axiompedia.com](https://axiompedia.com), and the derivatives venues I trade are covered at [hyperliquidguide.com](https://hyperliquidguide.com) and [asterpedia.com](https://asterpedia.com). Same sourcing rules on all of them. ## Why Trust Me - I trade on GMGN with my own money, across Solana, BSC and Base, not from a demo account - I build automation against the GMGN API, so the technical pages come from working code - Every fee and every statistic on this site carries a source and a date, and unverified claims are labeled as unverified - We cover GMGN's problems, including the private key export ban and the failed-transaction complaints, on their own pages - No invented bonuses, no fake discounts, no urgency - Find me on [X (@Concept211)](https://x.com/Concept211). I am a real person, not a content farm ## How We Research and Verify Guides Fee figures, settings and product behavior come from [GMGN's official documentation](https://docs.gmgn.ai/index) and are checked against the live app. Revenue, market share and competitor figures come from the DefiLlama API rather than from other people's articles, and competitor fee rates come from each platform's own docs. The full sourcing rules are on the [methodology page](https://gmgnguide.com/methodology). GMGN ships fast, so pages are re-checked when the platform changes its fee schedule, its UI or its wallet flow. If you find something out of date, tell me through the contact box below and it gets corrected. ## Popular Guides New to GMGN?
