Moonshot Scanner
The Moonshot Scanner helps you find newly launched tokens with high potential before they go viral. Catch early gems on Pump.fun, Raydium, and other Solana DEXs.
🚀 High Risk, High Reward: Moonshots are extremely risky. Most new tokens fail. Only invest what you can afford to lose completely.
What the Scanner Monitors
The Moonshot Scanner continuously watches:
- Pump.fun - New bonding curve tokens and graduations

| Holder Distribution | How spread out token ownership is | High |
| Volume/MCap Ratio | Trading activity relative to market cap | Medium |
| Holder Growth Rate | How fast new holders are joining | Medium |
| Smart Money Presence | Known profitable wallets buying | High |
| Social Signals | Twitter/Telegram mentions | Low |

Trading Moonshots
Entry Strategy

- Check chart - Look for organic price action
- Small entry - Start with tiny position
- Set mental stops - Know when to exit
Position Sizing
The 1% Rule:
Never risk more than 1% of your portfolio on any single moonshot. If you have 10 SOL, that's 0.1 SOL max per moonshot play.
Exit Strategy
- Take profits early - Sell 50% at 2x, let rest ride
- Use trailing stops - Lock in gains as price rises
- Time-based exit - If no movement in 24-48h, move on
- Red flags - Exit immediately if you see scam signs
