Meme Scout

This skill provides workflows for finding and analyzing trending meme coins on decentralized exchanges.

Trending Tokens Discovery

Timeframes Available

• 5 minutes: https://dexscreener.com/?rankBy=trendingScoreM5&order=desc
• 1 hour: https://dexscreener.com/?rankBy=trendingScoreH1&order=desc
• 6 hours (default): https://dexscreener.com/
• 24 hours: https://dexscreener.com/?rankBy=trendingScoreH24&order=desc

How to Fetch Trending Data

1. Use curl to fetch the HTML from the appropriate URL 2. Extract the __SERVER_DATA from the script tag using sed 3. Parse the JSON with Node.js VM to get the pairs array 4. Each pair contains: baseToken (name, symbol, address), priceUsd, priceChange (m5, h1, h6, h24), volume, liquidity, etc.

Example command for top 10 trending:

curl -s "https://dexscreener.com/?rankBy=trendingScoreH24&order=desc" | sed -n 's/.*window\.__SERVER_DATA\s*=\s*\(.*\);.*/\1/p' | node -e "
const fs = require('fs');
const input = fs.readFileSync(0, 'utf-8').trim();
const code = 'data = ' + input;
const vm = require('vm');
const sandbox = {data: null, URL: URL, Date: Date, undefined: undefined};
vm.runInNewContext(code, sandbox);
const pairs = sandbox.data.route.data.dexScreenerData.pairs.slice(0,10);
pairs.forEach(p => console.log(\`\${p.baseToken.name} | \${p.chainId} | $\${p.priceUsd} | \${p.priceChange.h24}% | \${p.baseToken.address}\`));
"

Risk Assessment for Specific Tokens

Steps to Check Risk

1. DexScreener Audit: Visit the pair page (https://dexscreener.com/{chainId}/{pairAddress}) and check the "Audit" section 2. RugCheck.xyz: For Solana tokens, use https://rugcheck.xyz/tokens/{tokenAddress} 3. On-chain Analysis: Check creator wallet, liquidity locks, token distribution 4. General Red Flags: Anonymous teams, Pump.fun origin, extreme volatility, no utility

Risk Levels

• Low: Verified team, audited contracts, locked liquidity
• Medium: Some transparency, basic audit, moderate volatility
• High: Anonymous creator, no locks, Pump.fun token, high volatility
• Extreme: Recent creation, suspicious patterns, social hype without substance

DexScreener API Reference

DexScreener provides trending data via embedded JSON in their web pages.

Trending Endpoints

The trending data is available by fetching the HTML and extracting window.__SERVER_DATA.

Timeframes

• 5m: ?rankBy=trendingScoreM5&order=desc
• 1h: ?rankBy=trendingScoreH1&order=desc
• 6h: (default)
• 24h: ?rankBy=trendingScoreH24&order=desc

Data Structure

The pairs array contains objects with:

• chainId: string (e.g., "solana")
• dexId: string (e.g., "pumpswap")
• baseToken: {name, symbol, address}
• quoteToken: {name, symbol, address}
• price: string
• priceUsd: string
• priceChange: {m5, h1, h6, h24} percentages
• volume: {m5, h1, h6, h24}
• liquidity: {usd, base, quote}
• marketCap, fdv
• pairAddress
• pairCreatedAt

Official API

DexScreener has an official API at https://docs.dexscreener.com/api/reference

Pump.fun Risks

Pump.fun is a platform for launching meme coins on Solana with a bonding curve mechanism.

Specific Risks

• 98.7% of tokens exhibit pump-and-dump characteristics (per research)
• Anonymous creators: No KYC or verification
• No liquidity locks: Creators can drain at any time
• Bonding curve manipulation: Prices can be manipulated
• High failure rate: Most tokens lose value quickly
• Exit scams: Creators disappear with funds

Mitigation

• Wait for migration to Raydium (more established DEX)
• Check creator renunciation
• Monitor for suspicious trading patterns
• Use tools like RugCheck before investing
• Start with small amounts

Pump.fun tokens are speculative and high-risk by nature. Most will fail.</content> <parameter name="filePath">./skills/meme-scout/references/pump-fun-risks.md

Risk Assessment Guide for Meme Coins

General Risks

• Volatility: Meme coins can experience extreme price swings
• Rug Pulls: Creators may drain liquidity or dump tokens
• Scams: Fake projects, pump-and-dump schemes
• Lack of Utility: No real-world value or use case
• Regulatory Risks: Potential bans or restrictions

Checking Risk

1. DexScreener Audit

• Visit pair page
• Check "Audit" section
• Look for "No issues" or specific warnings

2. RugCheck.xyz (Solana)

• Input token address
• Check for mint authority, freeze authority
• Look at top holders concentration
• Review liquidity locks

3. On-chain Analysis

• Creator wallet: Check if renounced or controlled
• Liquidity: Is it locked? Amount?
• Token distribution: Fair launch vs. pre-mine
• Social proof: Real community vs. bots

4. Red Flags

• Anonymous team
• No website/social links
• Extreme hype with no substance
• Recent creation with rapid growth
• Pump.fun origin (high risk)

Risk Levels

• Low: Audited, locked liquidity, transparent team
• Medium: Some checks pass, moderate market cap
• High: New token, Pump.fun, no locks
• Extreme: Suspicious patterns, insider dumping

Always DYOR and use at your own risk.</content> <parameter name="filePath">./skills/meme-scout/references/risk-assessment.md
