Crypto Momentum Detector 🚀

Catch crypto tokens early — new launches and accelerating movers — before the crowd, with a built-in anti-rug filter.

Most crypto scrapers dump raw market data on you. This actor does the filtering that matters: it surfaces (1) freshly launched tokens and (2) tokens whose volume and price are accelerating right now, and it throws out the obvious rugs and wash-traded junk before you ever see them.

---

Two signals

signal	What it means
new_launch	A token launched recently (default: < 72h), with real liquidity and volume
momentum	A token trading hotter than its own 24h pace — accelerating volume + rising price

Every result is ranked by a single momentum_score so the strongest signals come first.

Built-in anti-rug quality gate

Tokens are dropped before scoring if they look like traps:

• Low liquidity (below your threshold, default $10k)
• Negligible volume (below your threshold, default $25k/24h)
• Suspicious volume — 24h volume wildly out of proportion to liquidity (classic wash trading)
• Illiquid activity — near-zero volume against the pool

You control every threshold from the input.

Sources (all public, no API key)

• DexScreener — new token launches + live per-pair metrics (price, volume, liquidity, multi-timeframe change) across every chain
• CoinGecko — established coins with 1h / 24h / 7d momentum

Use cases

• Degens / memecoin traders — programmatic early alerts on fresh launches that already have liquidity
• Momentum traders — a shortlist of tokens accelerating now, not after the pump
• Bots & automations — feed clean, filtered signals into your own trading/alerting pipeline (Make, Zapier, n8n, custom)
• Analysts — track what's moving across chains without babysitting ten dashboards

Input (all optional)

Field	Default	Description
include_new_launches	true	Detect fresh token launches
include_dex_momentum	true	Detect accelerating DEX tokens
include_coingecko	true	Include established coins' momentum
chains	all	Limit to chains, e.g. ["solana","base","ethereum"]
min_liquidity_usd	10000	Anti-rug: minimum liquidity
min_volume_usd	25000	Minimum 24h volume
max_new_token_age_hours	72	Max age to count as a "new launch"
min_volume_acceleration	2.0	Momentum: last hour ≥ N× the 24h hourly pace
min_price_change_1h	3.0	Momentum: minimum 1h price gain (%)
max_results	100	Cap on signals returned

Example

{
  "chains": ["solana", "base"],
  "min_liquidity_usd": 20000,
  "min_price_change_1h": 5
}

Output

Each item is one token signal:

{
  "signal": "new_launch",
  "symbol": "WIFOUT",
  "chain": "solana",
  "address": "…",
  "price_usd": 0.0024,
  "price_change_h1": 211.0,
  "price_change_h24": 472.0,
  "volume_h24": 420225,
  "liquidity_usd": 37162,
  "age_hours": 2.1,
  "momentum_score": 265.17,
  "quality_flags": [],
  "url": "https://dexscreener.com/…"
}

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.002 per token signal returned. Most runs cost a few cents. No subscription — you pay only per item.

Tips

• Schedule it (every 15–60 min) to keep catching launches and movers as they happen — the actor remembers which tokens it already reported, so a launch is flagged only once.
• Tighten min_liquidity_usd / min_price_change_1h for higher-conviction signals; loosen them to cast a wider net.
• Use chains to focus on where you actually trade (e.g. Solana for memecoins).
