West is a memecoin trader active on Solana, posting on X as @ratwizardx. He is one of the most consistently ranked wallets on kolscan; the local kolscan dataset from January 2026 lists him at rank 2 with a weekly profit of 128.74 SOL, and he appeared on the live kolscan daily leaderboard as recently as August 18, 2026, with a daily profit of 88.79 SOL. His account had 47,417 followers as of research.

Trading career

West specializes in the earliest and riskiest end of the trenches. KOL Explorer, which tracks his labeled wallet, describes him as a nano cap hunter scanning the smallest corners of Solana for breakout candidates. Its August 19, 2026 profile showed a thirty day PnL of about positive 124,900 dollars and a seven day PnL of positive 44,200 dollars, on 6,637 trades across 687 tokens in a week at about 197 dollars average size and a 51.2 percent weekly win rate; his best recent play was MOMO, up 32,834 dollars from a 1,000 dollar entry. The profile fits the conviction style of trenching: a minority of winning trades carrying the portfolio, with losses accepted as the cost of early entry into pump.fun launches.

The local KOL dataset characterizes him as a high risk, high reward trader focused on conviction plays and market narratives, with sharp and sometimes contrarian takes, and a willingness to publicly criticize token developers whose behavior he considers predatory. He has also collected leaderboard hardware: kolscan named him weekly champion for the week of November 5, 2025, and runner up to Cented in mid December. Saint Pablo's 2025 recap named him best trencher alongside flipski, and daumen's "actually real ct list" placed him among the best trenchers with Cupsey, flipski and jijo.

The dev turn

In December 2025 West began deploying coins himself rather than only trading them, posting "I was unprofitable at the start of the month... Then I started devving and I'm making 20k a day, what's stopping you?" CT dubbed his launches PVE runners, with XScharo writing "Everybody should thank @ratwizardx for giving us something PVE" and jackduval joking that he "just woke up and just spawned the next giga pve runner." He posted a launch recap boasting 73,000 holders in three hours, citing Troll, Arc, Pippin and Moodeng among the coins he flipped.

Public presence

West's X presence is terse and meme literate, mixing position talk, narrative commentary, and criticism of low effort token launches. He is a standard inclusion in top trader wallet roundups used for copy trading, and his rat wizard branding is a recognizable avatar in trench feeds. He is an outspoken partisan in the launchpad and terminal wars, serially raging at Photon and defecting to Axiom, "everyday I wake up praying axiom exit scams so you people can feel the pain I feel trenching on photon"; pump.fun founder Alon has replied to his posts on the switch, calling it "this might be the move."

Controversies

The dev turn brought extraction accusations, all attributed to the accounts making them rather than to any formal finding. DustNukes wrote on March 3, 2026, "Famous crypto streamer @ratwizardx is bundle rugging live on stream. Up 100 sol at 10k marketcap," and repeated a similar claim on August 12, 2026. earlTrades wrote on April 27, 2026 that West was "farming his viewers LIVE ON STREAM, for 150 SOL AT 15K... some sort of record on extraction." theonomix alleged on May 28, 2026 that West bought 423 SOL at a 29,460 dollar average on Twitch and sold at a 120,000 dollar average for a profit of about 1,297 SOL, roughly 104,149 dollars. No direct denial of these specific claims by West appears in the sources consulted; his recorded response, made to a death threat rather than to the extraction allegations themselves, became widely quoted trench copypasta: "P.S. it's also a little ridiculous to threaten me with death cuz i molested ur mid ass coin."

Lore and quirks

West's public persona runs on extremes. He announced a retirement on March 19, 2026, "yo im tired of on and off trenching so im retiring," and reversed it two days later: "false alarm guys I got no money rn. I'm unretiring." He organized Memescope Monday, a coordinated high volume trench day, posting "MEMESCOPE MONDAY NEXT WEEK. March 30th... lets make it the highest volume day we've seen in months," a call TIL celebrated. Other recurring lines include "I feel like if i shower then i shower all the luck off me," as quoted by henn; "15 hours a day of this"; "+650 sol today, I made one call in my tg and it was unprofitable, gn!"; and "If I die tokenize me and pump and dump it immediately." He still cites the trader letterbomb's story of being 550,000 dollars in debt before making it as a personal touchstone.

Cultural footprint

Among wallet watchers West represents the narrative trader archetype: less mechanical than Cupsey or Cented, more aggressive than swing traders, surfacing in whatever meta the trenches are rotating through that week. His handle appears in fan tokens and leaderboard screenshots, and his longevity near the top of kolscan across 2026 has made him one of the reference names for sustained trench profitability.
