Organic lists, such as trending, are ordered by a score from zero to one hundred. The score is computed from market data for each pool. Paid placements never feed into it.
The six inputs and their weights
- Volume, 25 percent: 24 hour trading volume on a logarithmic scale from one thousand to fifty million dollars.
- Momentum, 20 percent: the 24 hour price change, limited to a range of minus 50 to plus 200 percent so one wild spike cannot dominate.
- Liquidity, 20 percent: pool depth on a logarithmic scale from five thousand to twenty million dollars.
- Activity, 20 percent: number of transactions in 24 hours, logarithmic from ten to fifty thousand.
- Balance, 10 percent: how evenly buys and sells are split. One-sided flow scores lower.
- Freshness, 5 percent: a small bonus for new pools, fading to zero over seven days.
Why these choices
Logarithmic scales mean going from one thousand to ten thousand dollars of volume counts as much as going from ten million to a hundred million, so small and large tokens are compared fairly. Capping price change means a thin pool that jumps several thousand percent cannot outrank a deep, active market.
One entry per token
When a token trades in several pools, we keep the deepest pool and rank that one, so a token cannot fill a list with copies of itself. Names and symbols that are abusive or look like links are kept off curated front-page lists.
What the score is not
It measures current market activity. It is not a safety rating, a quality score or a prediction. A high score on a risky token only means it is busy right now.
