Trending Solana tokens: what the red flags actually mean
Also in: Nederlands Français Español Português Deutsch Türkçe Bahasa Indonesia
"Trending" only means many people trade a token right now. It says nothing about whether it will go up or whether it is safe. Read the flags first: thin liquidity, a pool under one day old, no sells, volume far above liquidity, or a huge 24-hour spike.
Why trending lists attract scams
Getting onto a trending list brings free attention, so some projects fake activity with bots. A busy-looking token can be a few wallets trading with each other.
The flags on our Radar
- Thin liquidity (under $10,000): small sales move the price a lot and you may not get out.
- Under 1 day old: no track record. Most rugs happen early.
- No sells: many buys and zero sells can mean selling is blocked.
- Volume far above liquidity: possible fake volume from bots.
- Pumped or crashed: +300% or -60% in 24 hours. Late buyers usually pay.
What a risk label means
"High risk" means several serious flags. "Fewer flags" does not mean safe; it means it passed these few checks. For mint and freeze authority, holders and the creator wallet, open the full check.
The MAIGA Radar shows the 20 trending and the newest Solana pools with these flags, plus the top coins, Fear & Greed and DeFi per chain. Each token has a "Full check" button that opens the Token Checkup.
