Alerts Guide
what every value on our alerts means — and where the danger floors are
Every Blackhat Empire alert (multibuy, single buy, XTRACK milestones, HYPE stages, trending) carries the same core metrics, pulled live from GMGN, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, Birdeye and the pump API at fire time. Here is how to read each one — and the exact thresholds our own engine uses to warn or block. Aggregators lag: a token can pass every gate at fire time and still rug seconds later. These numbers stack the odds, they never remove the risk.
Core market values
| Value | What it means | How to read it |
| 💰 MC (market cap) | Token price × supply — the valuation at alert time. | Our floors: SOL alerts require ≥ $25K MC; other chains ≥ $10–15K. A huge MC on tiny liquidity is a phantom valuation — we never alert MC ≥ $1M when MC/liquidity ≥ 50. |
| 💧 LIQ (liquidity) | Value actually sitting in the trading pool — what you can really exit into. | Thin pool = brutal slippage both ways. Compare to MC: healthy trench tokens usually run liq ≥ 1–10% of MC. Liq under 0.5% of MC = effectively dead pool. |
| 📊 VOL (volume) | Traded value over the window shown (1h/24h). | Volume far above MC with a flat chart is wash trading — bundlers cycling the same money to fake demand. |
| ⏱ Age | Time since the pool/token was created (from genuine creation timestamps only). | Minutes-old tokens are maximum risk / maximum reward. Age helps you judge whether holders and volume are organic for its lifetime. |
| 👥 Holders | Unique wallets holding (GMGN live count). | WARN < 30 Very low = one seller nukes the chart. But high count alone proves nothing — see manufactured holder base below. |
| Multiplier (XTRACK 2x…100x) | Current MC vs the MC when we first alerted it. | Milestone pings (2x, 3x, 5x…) always match the MC math shown. Anything past 100x is treated as a data glitch, not a win. |
Holder-type breakdown (🐋 🧠 🎯 🌟 🆕)
| Tag | Meaning | Read |
| 🐋 Whales | Big-balance wallets in the token. | Fuel when they hold, exit liquidity when they distribute. |
| 🧠 Smart money | Wallets with a profitable tracked history. | The strongest organic-demand signal we have. Zero smart money in a "popular" token is a red flag. |
| 🎯 Snipers | First-block/first-minute buyers. | WARN > 25% of supply — early bags set up the dump. |
| 🌟 Renowned / KOL | Known caller & influencer wallets. | Brings attention fast — and sells fast. Watch alongside smart money. |
| 🆕 Fresh wallets | Just-created wallets buying in. | Many fresh wallets + no smart money = airdrop/bundle farm pattern. |
These are historical tagged-wallet totals from GMGN, not an exact split of current holders. "1k+" means GMGN capped the count.
⚠️ The Risk line — warning thresholds
Concentration metrics are shown as warnings on EVERY alert instead of silently blocking — after we measured that hard-blocking them killed real runners that later did $1–2M. One line, fixed thresholds, same engine everywhere:
| Chip | What it measures | Warning floor |
| Top10 | Supply held by the top 10 wallets. | WARN > 30% · normal memecoins run 20–30% |
| Phishing | Supply held by entrapment/phishing-linked traders (GMGN probe). | WARN > 30% — also a hard block above 30% on SOL |
| Snipers | Supply still held by early snipers. | WARN > 25% |
| Bundlers | Supply bought through coordinated bundle transactions. | WARN > 35% |
| Insiders | Wallets tagged as insiders (team/funding-linked). | WARN ≥ 10 |
| Low holders | Total holder count. | WARN < 30 |
🔥 LP status line
| Shown as | Meaning |
| 🔥 LP: burnt | Liquidity tokens destroyed — the pool can never be pulled. ~93% of pump.fun graduates. |
| 🔒 LP: locked N% | ≥90% locked = safe. The dev can't pull the pool while the lock holds. |
| ⚠️ LP: only N% locked | Partial lock — a meaningful share of the pool is still pullable. |
| ⚠️ LP: unlocked | The dev can pull liquidity at any moment. Hard-blocked for new tokens unless the holder base includes ≥5 smart/renowned wallets (established DEX tokens). |
🛡 The security gate — every filter, in order
One shared engine (the same code path for every bot: XTRACK, multibuy, HYPE, forwarders, articles) checks each token against GMGN, GoPlus, Honeypot.is, RugCheck, DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, Birdeye and the pump API. Structural rugs are BLOCKED; concentration risks are WARNED (table above).
| Filter | What it catches | Action |
| Honeypot / no-sell | Buys work, sells revert (GoPlus + Honeypot.is + Jupiter sell-route check on SOL). | BLOCK |
| Mint / freeze authority | Dev can print supply or freeze your tokens (SOL). | BLOCK |
| Blacklist / trading tax > 10% | Contract can block wallets, or taxes eat the trade (EVM chains). | BLOCK |
| RugCheck rugged / danger | Already flagged as rugged or dangerous (SOL). | BLOCK |
| Unlocked LP | LP neither burnt nor locked on a token with no quality holder base. | BLOCK |
| Manufactured holder base | 500+ holders but ZERO smart-money and ZERO renowned wallets, plus bundle/insider corroboration — an airdrop/wash-farmed "community". Every legit 500-holder token we track has ≥5. | BLOCK |
| Phishing / entrapment > 30% | Supply concentrated in entrapment traders — the one metric that can be dirty when everything else looks clean. | BLOCK |
| Top10 > 30% (structural) | Extreme concentration at alert time (SOL hard path). | BLOCK |
| MC / liquidity floors | Dust tokens, dead pools, phantom valuations (MC≥$1M with MC/liq≥50). | BLOCK |
| Persisted denials | Anything previously denied stays denied — tokens don't get a second chance by retrying. | BLOCK |
| Dead-token pruning | Dust / no-liq / provider-gone / never-moved tokens are dropped from tracking within 30 min. | DROP |
Alert families you'll see
| Alert | Trigger |
| MULTIBUY | Multiple tracked smart wallets converge on the same token within a tight window — our highest-conviction entry signal. |
| SINGLE BUY / BIG BUY | One tracked wallet takes a position (size-tiered). |
| XTRACK milestones | 2x → 100x multiplier pings on every token we alerted, with holders, LP and risk refreshed at each level. |
| HYPE S1–S3 | Raw pump.fun trade-flow ignition (S1 🟡), momentum (S2 🟠), multi-source conviction (S3 🔴) — fired only at local highs, never into a declining chart. |
| TRENDING | Cross-source trending (GeckoTerminal, Birdeye, GMGN & more) per chain. |
| DEV BUY | The deployer wallet is buying its own token. (Dev SELL alerts were removed — a dev exit is a rug in progress, not an entry.) |
| GRADUATED / NEAR GRADUATION | Launchpad bonding-curve progress — the Trenches lanes on this site. |
