DEX research guide

Find a good token by checking, not guessing

A live screener plus a visual checklist for researching tokens on decentralized exchanges. It teaches how to judge a token's quality. It does not tell you what to buy, and nothing here is investment advice or a promise of profit.

A filter, not a recommendation. Passing means these checks found no red flag. It does not mean a token is safe, good or will hold its value. Scans miss things and tokens change after they are checked. Verify everything yourself with the checklist below. Last update 2026-10-16 14:15 UTC; refreshed every few hours.

New Solana pools UNVERIFIED

High risk. These are the newest Solana pools, listed by age with only a tiny liquidity floor. Most new tokens lose value and many are scams. A scan result is shown for each, failures included. A pass means no red flag was found, not that a token is safe. This is not a recommendation to buy anything. Last update 2026-10-16 17:37 UTC; refreshed hourly.

How the screener works

Discover

Pull the highest-volume pools on each chain.

Filter

Age, liquidity, volume, market cap and holder minimums.

Scan

Automated contract check for red flags.

Verify

You run the checklist and read the sources yourself.

Decide

Your call and your risk. Nothing here predicts a price.

2

DEX basics

What a DEX is

A decentralized exchange swaps tokens through on-chain liquidity pools (Uniswap, PancakeSwap, Raydium) instead of an order book run by a company. You keep custody, and you carry the risk of what you sign.

What an aggregator does

An aggregator such as Jupiter (Solana) compares routes across many pools and splits your trade to get a better quote. It does not make a bad token safe.

Wallets

Software wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Phantom) are convenient but online. A hardware wallet keeps keys offline and is safer for larger amounts. A small separate wallet limits the damage of a mistake.

Gas and slippage

Gas is the network fee. Slippage is the gap between quoted and executed price; a tight limit fails trades, a loose one lets others trade against you.

MEV / sandwich attacks

Bots can see your pending swap, buy before it and sell after it, so you get a worse price. Lower slippage, smaller orders and protected-RPC options reduce the risk.

3

What a good token needs

Trending is not the same as good. Judge the project and the token first; the price move comes last.

01

Real function

A clear problem solved or a usable product.

Can you use the product yourself? Or is there only a website and a roadmap?

02

Token has a role

The token has a meaningful job inside the product.

Would the product work the same without it? Why would usage raise demand for it?

03

Real users

Regular, returning users over time.

Look at active users and activity over weeks, not wallet counts.

04

Transparent tokenomics

Supply, allocation, inflation and vesting are published.

How much do team and investors hold, what circulates now, when does the rest unlock?

05

Fair distribution

No tiny group controls the supply.

Exclude LP, burn, exchange and vesting wallets, then look at the largest holders.

06

Contract security

Code and permissions can be verified.

Who controls mint, freeze, blacklist, tax and upgrades?

07

Usable liquidity

Enough depth, with clear liquidity control.

Check price impact for your own order size and who can remove liquidity.

08

Team track record

Real development and accountability.

Releases shipped, past promises kept, no copied code.

09

Sustainable economics

The project can fund itself.

How long does the treasury last? Are rewards paid from revenue or newly printed tokens?

10

Sensible valuation

Market cap/FDV fits the progress made.

Compare usage, revenue and valuation with similar projects.

The key question: if the project does well, what does this token's holder gain? An app can have 100,000 users, but if it never needs the token and the supply keeps growing, there is no clear reason for token demand to rise.

4

Supply and unlocks

Example: max supply 1 billion, 100 million circulating, price $1.

Market cap (circulating)$100 million
10%
FDV (max supply)$1 billion
100%

Only 10% circulates, so you need to know when, to whom and under what rules the rest arrives.

  • Buy/sell tax now, and whether the owner can change itGoPlus, contract code on BscScan
  • Max transaction / max wallet limits that could be changed to block sellingContract code on BscScan
  • Proxy / upgradeable contract: who can change the logic; timelock or multisig?BscScan (Read/Write as Proxy)
  • Owner wallet: renounced, or held by a multisig?BscScan
  • LP tokens: locked, burned, or sitting in the dev wallet; lock length and lockerPinkLock, Unicrypt, BscScan
  • Liquidity pair (WBNB, USDT, BUSD) and whether several pairs existDEX Screener, GeckoTerminal
  • Fake copies and wrapped assets: does the contract address match the official source?Project docs vs BscScan
  • Token approvals: avoid unlimited approvals and revoke old onesrevoke.cash
  • Source verified? Creator's earlier contracts, top holders, transfer historyBscScan
Solana
  • Mint authority: revoked or still active?Solscan, SolanaFM, RugCheck
  • Freeze authority: revoked or still active?Solscan, SolanaFM, RugCheck
  • Token-2022 extensions: transfer fee, transfer hook, permanent delegate, confidential transferSolscan
  • Metadata mutable? Name, image and links could change laterSolscan, RugCheck
  • Liquidity: Raydium, Orca, Meteora, or still on a pump.fun bonding curve; LP burned or lockedDEX Screener, Birdeye
  • Bundled / sniper wallets: one group buying much of the supply at launchBubblemaps, GMGN
  • Dev wallet: how much it holds, whether it sold, its earlier tokensGMGN, Solscan
  • Fake tickers: many copies share a name, so match the exact mint addressProject docs vs Solscan
  • Wallet safety: do not connect or sign on unknown sites; use a separate small walletYour wallet settings
  • Holder list, authorities and transactionsSolscan, SolanaFM

Having a power is not automatically a scam, but who holds it, why it is needed and what protects holders must be clear. An audit is not a guarantee; read the report and check it covers the deployed version. A scanner returning no result means unknown, not safe.

On both chains

Use Bubblemaps to see whether the biggest holders are connected to each other.

Keep a separate hot wallet; never share a seed phrase; avoid fake airdrops and phishing links.

Get a quote for your own order size and look at price impact and slippage before swapping.

Bridged or wrapped assets: is it the original asset or a copy, and what backs it?

Red flags: selling blocked, liquidity draining fast, large dev sells, bought followers, copied website.

9

Common scams

Rug pull

The creator removes liquidity or dumps a huge holding, and the price collapses.

Honeypot

You can buy but not sell, or selling costs almost everything in tax.

Fake airdrop

An unexpected token appears and its site asks you to connect or sign. Ignore it.

Address poisoning

A look-alike address is sent into your history so you copy it by mistake. Always compare the full address.

Drainer approval

A signature that gives a contract permission to move your tokens. Read what you sign and revoke old approvals.

Phishing

Fake sites, links in DMs and cloned support accounts that ask for a seed phrase. Nobody legitimate needs it.

10

Not proof of a good token

Many holders

They can be one owner's wallets or airdrop wallets.

High volume

It can be repeated or artificial trading.

LP locked

Other permission risks (mint, freeze, tax) remain.

Ownership renounced

Other roles or upgrade control may still exist.

Big community

Followers can be bought; look for genuine participation.

Burns / high staking APY

Not enough without real demand or income.

Meme tokens are judged differently: community staying power, ownership distribution and liquidity matter more, on a weaker verifiable basis than a utility project.

Glossary

Liquidity

Funds in a pool that let you buy and sell. More depth means less price impact.

LP (liquidity provider) token

Receipt for a share of a pool. Whoever holds it can pull the liquidity out unless it is burned or locked.

Market cap

Price times circulating supply.

FDV

Fully diluted value: price times maximum supply.

Mint

Creating new tokens. If an owner can mint freely, supply can be diluted at will.

Freeze authority

The power to stop a token account from moving funds (Solana).

Vesting / unlock

A schedule that releases locked tokens over time.

Slippage

The difference between expected and executed price.

Price impact

How far your own trade moves the pool price.

Pair age

How old the pool is, not necessarily the project.

Honeypot

A token that cannot be sold normally.

Bonding curve

A launch mechanism (such as pump.fun) where price follows supply until the token migrates to a normal pool.

13

FAQ

Does trending mean a token is good?

No. Trending reflects attention and activity, and attention can be paid for with boosts. It says nothing about safety or quality.

If liquidity is locked, is the token safe?

No. A lock only covers the pool. Mint, freeze, tax and upgrade powers are separate risks.

Does "ownership renounced" mean no control is left?

Not always. Other roles, proxies or admin keys can remain. Read the contract or a trusted scan.

Is a high-volume token real?

Not necessarily. Volume can be repeated or artificial. Look at unique traders and holder spread too.

Can a scanner tell me a token is safe?

No. A clean scan, or a field with no result, means "nothing found" or "unknown", not "safe".

Does an audit guarantee safety?

No. Check the report, the audited version and any unresolved findings.

Is a stop-loss enough protection?

Not on new tokens. If liquidity vanishes, you may not be able to exit at your price.

Will following this guide make me money?

No. It helps you avoid some common traps. Nothing here predicts prices or guarantees any result.

One-page checklist

Token research checklist

  • Contract / mint address matches the official source
  • Sell test passes with a small amount; tax is known
  • Mint, freeze, blacklist and upgrade powers: who holds them?
  • LP burned or locked; who can remove liquidity?
  • Largest holders checked, excluding LP, burn, exchange, vesting
  • Holder connections checked (Bubblemaps)
  • Dev wallet history and recent sells reviewed
  • Real product and real users, not just a roadmap
  • Token has a clear role in the product
  • Supply, allocation and unlock schedule published
  • Price impact checked for my own order size
  • Unknowns written down, not ignored

Educational checklist only; not investment advice.

Educational content only. Most new tokens lose value, and some cannot be sold at all. Puqet does not recommend any token and no method here guarantees a result. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose.
