- Crypto researchers tracking newly launched tokens
- Worth noticing
- Its 0–100 score weights hood count, cross-edges, and seed independence, with a one-hour cutoff.
Field notes
The method starts its clock at the first public mention, not at token launch, and treats repeated posting within one community as a single signal. Its example separates communities such as crypto Twitter, Telegram, Discord, Farcaster, regional-language groups, Reddit, and developer chats, then reduces the score when those groups share follows, replies, or funding links. The homepage presents the service as a subscription delivered through Telegram.
