Last updated 7 months ago

🛡️Overview

Difficulty: Beginner / Steps: 5 steps / Time: ~10 minutes per scan session

🔥 Value

This is one of the fastest ways to front-run early rotations and spot momentum plays before they go viral.

👤 Who Should Use This

  • Narrative hunters

  • Swing and momentum traders

  • Token researchers scanning for early signals

⚠️ Workflow

  1. Open the Nansen Homepage

  2. Set filters on Token Screener:

    • Market Cap: $1M–$50M (Micro and Small Caps)

    • Chains: Base, BNB Chain and Solana

    • Timeframes: 24H and 6H inflows

  3. Look for outliers:

    • Base or BNB tokens showing up in the top ranks — especially in Solana-heavy periods

    • Tokens you haven’t seen in the past few scans = emerging interest

  4. Validate activity:

    • Check Smart Money > DEX Trades to confirm real-time entries

    • Are wallets buying live or has the wave passed?

  5. Optional: Check coincidence

    • Cross-verify if top accounts are tweeting or talking about the token

    • Bonus points if it’s trending onchain but not yet on X

❓When to Use This

  • At the start of a trading day

  • After a major market rotation

  • When looking to front-run narratives on Base or BNB in a Solana-dominated environment

⚙️ Feature Spotlight

  • Home Dashboard → Market cap + inflow

  • Smart Money DEX Trades → Real-time entry validation

💡Pro Tip

Create a daily ritual:

  • Open Spotlight → Flag 2–3 candidates

  • Use Smart Money → Live DEX Trades to confirm

  • Add to temporary “watchlist” to monitor price + inflow over next 24 hours.
