Solid Performers

This tutorial shows you how to find solid performing tokens - those with consistent growth, good security, and steady trading activity across multiple time frames.

      "gt": 1
    },
    {
      "metric": "buyers",
      "timeFrame": "oneWeek",
      "gt": 10

    {
      "metric": "buyers",
      "timeFrame": "oneMonth",
      "gt": 100
    },
    {
      "metric": "usdPricePercentChange",
      "timeFrame": "oneDay",
      "gt": 1
    },
    {
      "metric": "usdPricePercentChange",
      "timeFrame": "oneWeek",
      "gt": 1
    },
    {
      "metric": "usdPricePercentChange",
      "timeFrame": "oneMonth",
      "gt": 1
    }
  ],
  "sortBy": {
    "metric": "marketCap",
    "type": "DESC"
  },
  "limit": 100
}

What Makes a Solid Performer:

• Good Security: Score above 70
• Consistent Trading: Buyers and sellers across all time frames
• Steady Growth: Positive price change daily, weekly, and monthly
• Market Cap Sorting: Larger, more established tokens first

Enhanced Solid Performers

Add more quality filters for even better results:

{
  "chains": ["eth", "base"],
  "filters": [
    {
      "metric": "securityScore",
      "gt": 80
    },
    {
      "metric": "marketCap",
      "gt": 10000000,
      "lt": 1000000000
    },
    {
      "metric": "totalLiquidityUsd",
      "gt": 100000
    },
    {
      "metric": "totalHolders",
      "gt": 1000
    },
    {
      "metric": "volumeUsd",
      "timeFrame": "oneWeek",
      "gt": 1000000
    },
    {
      "metric": "usdPricePercentChange",
      "timeFrame": "oneMonth",
      "gt": 10
    }
  ],
  "sortBy": {
    "metric": "volumeUsd",
    "timeFrame": "oneWeek",
    "type": "DESC"
  }
}

Additional Quality Filters:

• Market cap between $10M - $1B (mid-cap range)
• Minimum $100K liquidity
• At least 1,000 holders
• Weekly volume over $1M

Multi-Chain Solid Performers

Search across multiple chains:

{
  "chains": ["eth", "base", "arbitrum", "polygon"],
  "categories": {
    "exclude": ["stablecoin", "wrapped"]
  },
  "filters": [
    {
      "metric": "securityScore",
      "gt": 75
    },
    {
      "metric": "tokenAge",
      "gt": 90
    },
    {
      "metric": "buyers",
      "timeFrame": "oneMonth",
      "gt": 500
    },
    {
      "metric": "usdPricePercentChange",
      "timeFrame": "oneMonth",
      "gt": 5
    }
  ],
  "timeFramesToReturn": ["oneDay", "oneWeek", "oneMonth"],
  "metricsToReturn": [
    "volumeUsd",
    "usdPricePercentChange",
    "buyers",
    "marketCap"
  ]
}

Characteristics of Solid Performers

Look for these patterns in the response:

{
  "tokenSymbol": "LINK",
  "securityScore": 92,
  "usdPricePercentChange": {
    "oneDay": 3.2,
    "oneWeek": 8.5,
    "oneMonth": 15.7
  },
  "buyers": {
    "oneDay": 2100,
    "oneWeek": 14500,
    "oneMonth": 58000
  },
  "sellers": {
    "oneDay": 1950,
    "oneWeek": 13200,
    "oneMonth": 54000
  },
  "totalHolders": 125000,
  "marketCap": 8500000000
}

Key Indicators:

• Gradual, consistent price increases
• Balanced buyer/seller ratios
• High security score
• Large holder base
• Steady volume growth

Investment Considerations

1. Consistency Over Spikes: Look for steady growth rather than explosive moves
2. Time in Market: Tokens older than 90 days have proven staying power
3. Holder Growth: Increasing holder count indicates growing adoption
4. Volume Stability: Consistent volume shows sustained interest
5. Security First: Never compromise on security score

Recommended Filters for Long-Term Holdings

{
  "filters": [
    { "metric": "securityScore", "gt": 85 },
    { "metric": "tokenAge", "gt": 180 },
    { "metric": "totalHolders", "gt": 5000 },
    { "metric": "marketCap", "gt": 50000000 },
    { "metric": "holderSupplyPercentTop10", "lt": 50 }
  ]
}

Common Patterns in Solid Performers

• Gradual Appreciation: 1-5% daily, 5-20% weekly, 10-50% monthly
• High Holder Retention: More buyers than sellers consistently
• Good Distribution: Not overly concentrated in top wallets
• Active Development: Often correlates with project updates
