Everyone talks about “being early” but nobody shares their actual process. Here’s mine – curious what you degens are running.
My current setup:
For discovery:
- Dexscreener alerts (new pairs with >$10K liquidity)
- Twitter lists (curated CT accounts that actually call early)
- Birdeye for wallet tracking (following smart money wallets)
For research/rug checks:
- Rugcheck xyz (quick scan for honeypots)
- Solscan (manually checking top holder distribution)
- Telegram lurking (vibe check – real community vs bot spam?)
For execution:
- Banana Pro for limit orders and auto-sells
- Phantom for quick manual apes when needed
- Jupiter for swaps when slippage is brutal
Where I’m still struggling:
Finding the sweet spot between “too early” (nobody knows about it yet, zero liquidity) and “too late” (already did 50x, you’re buying someone’s exit).
Tools I’ve tried and ditched:
- Most “alpha groups” (recycled info, always late)
- Copy trading bots (following someone else’s bags = losing money)
- Every “AI-powered gem finder” (complete garbage)
The real alpha: No single tool finds gems. It’s combining multiple sources + pattern recognition + accepting you’ll lose on 7/10 plays but 3/10 will carry your portfolio.
What’s YOUR actual stack? Not the YouTube guru recommendations – what do you genuinely use daily to find shit before it moons?
Drop your setup. If someone says “just vibes and prayers” you’re probably more honest than most of us.
