The three stages
What’s on a token card
Every card shows the vet-before-you-ape variables without opening the token page:- Market cap, volume, holders, age
- Top 10 Holders % — concentration at a glance
- Dev Holding % — how much the creator kept
- Snipers % — supply grabbed in the first blocks
- Insiders % — wallets linked to the deployer
- Bundle % — supply in coordinated wallets
- Social links present/missing, and a Quick Buy button
Filters
Cut the firehose down to your strategy:- Launchpads: Pump.fun, LetsBonk (Bonk.fun), Raydium LaunchLab, Moonshot, Bags, Boop, Heaven, Jupiter Studio, Trends.fun, Meteora
- Quote token / chain: SOL, BNB
- Metrics: min/max mcap, volume, holders, dev holding, bundle %, age
- Socials: only tokens with X/Telegram/website
Trench discipline
- The trenches are a PvP arena, and the other players include the dev. Assume every launch is a rug until the numbers argue otherwise.
- Volume should look like fees. Bonding-curve tokens with huge “volume” but no proportional fees = wash-traded chart. See Rug-Check Basics.
- Fresh-wallet holders, staircase candles, up-only on low volume — honeypot patterns. The card metrics exist so you check before the click, not after.
- Size like it can go to zero, because here, it usually does.
