How signals work

Signals are facts read from the chain, with fixed rules anyone can check. They never say "safe", "scam" or "buy". A launch with no warnings can still go to zero, and one with warnings can still do well.

• 🆕New creator wallet Worth a closer look

  The creator's wallet had made 2 or fewer transactions in total right after launching. Brand-new wallets are common for throwaway launches. (Checked for launches Radar sees live.)

• 🔁Serial launcher Worth a closer look

  The creator launched 3 or more tokens on Pons before this one and none of them graduated.

• 🏆Proven creator Positive track record

  The creator has had at least one earlier token graduate.

• 🐋Concentrated Worth a closer look

  The 5 biggest holders own 40% or more of the supply (not counting the curve, the pool, burned tokens or Pons contracts).

• 💸Creator sold Worth a closer look

  The wallet that launched the token has sold some of it on the curve.

• 🚀Fast mover Activity

  25 or more buys in the first 5 minutes after launch.

• 💰High creator tax Worth a closer look

  The creator added a tax of 3% or more on every trade, on top of the normal fee. It's fixed at launch.

• 🎓Graduated Positive track record

  The curve sold out and the token now trades in a Uniswap pool with permanently locked liquidity. Graduating is not a quality signal on its own.

Other numbers on Radar

• Graduation progress: how much the launch curve has raised compared with what it needs (usually 4.2 ETH). Token pages read it live from the curve.
• Died within a day: never graduated and had no trades after its first 24 hours.
• Usually first sells: the typical time between a creator's launch and their first sale on the curve, across all their launches.
• Holders: wallets holding the token, not counting the curve, the Uniswap pool, burned tokens or Pons contracts. Built from every transfer.
• Creator: the wallet that launched the token. Creators can sell from other wallets too, which Radar can't always link.
