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.
