coin listings
Any Solana coin can be added by pasting its contract address, but it has to clear three floors first. Here is what they are and why they exist.
the floors
- liquidity
- $100K
- 24h volume
- $50K
- pool age
- 48h
Depth of the single deepest pool, which is what sets the cost of moving the price.
Summed across every pair the coin trades on.
Measured from when the pool was created.
A coin that fails any one of them is refused, and the rejection names the specific floor it missed along with the coin's actual number — so you can see how far off it was rather than guessing.
why liquidity is gated
Fills here settle at the quoted price with no market impact. That is a convenience inside the game, but it creates an exploit if the underlying pool is thin: buy a paper position, spend a few hundred dollars shoving the real pool on-chain, and the paper equity multiplies against a price you moved yourself.
The liquidity floor makes that attack cost far more than any prize is worth. It is the reason the rule exists — not a quality judgement about the coin.
why volume is gated separately
Liquidity alone is not enough. Plenty of pools sit on parked capital that nobody trades, and a market with no flow has a stale price that is cheap to shove — the same exploit, just with more money sitting idle in the pool. Real daily volume is the evidence that a price is contested.
Getting that distinction wrong is not hypothetical. Reading both numbers off the same winning pool once made BONK — a top-20 memecoin — look like it traded $46 in a day, because its deepest pool was a quiet one. Summed properly across its pairs it had traded $362k. The gate would have refused it outright while quoting a confident, wrong number.
why age is gated
A pool created minutes ago has no track record, and its liquidity can be withdrawn as fast as it appeared. The 48h minimum means a coin has to survive a full day of real trading before it can carry prize money.
If a coin's creation time cannot be read at all, the age check is skipped rather than treated as a failure — but the liquidity and volume floors still apply, and in practice a brand new pool cannot clear those anyway.
what is not checked
Clearing these floors is a statement about market structure, not an endorsement. It means the coin is expensive enough to manipulate that the tournament stays fair.
- It is not a judgement about the project, its team, or whether it will hold value.
- It is not an audit of the token contract.
- A listed coin can still go to zero during a run, and plenty do.
curated and trader-added coins
Some coins ship on the board by default; the rest were added by traders pasting a contract address. Both kinds pass exactly the same floors, and both are ranked purely on 24h volume, so the busiest markets lead regardless of who added them.
