Badge & Radar Guide

This guide explains each badge, what triggers it, what its color means, and how to interpret the radar. Badges are signals based on the data currently available—not guarantees or investment advice.

Token badges

These labels appear beside a token’s name in the feed.

NEW

Recently detected

A newly detected token pulses as a simple dot for its first 10 minutes, without an outer ring. After 10 minutes, the pulse stops and the dot returns to its normal size. The NEW label is a discovery-time cue, not a price or safety signal. Price-growth badges are separate: RISING (+15% to +24.9%), SURGE (+25% to +49.9%), EXTREME (+50% or more), and DROP (−25% or lower).

RISING +15%

Confirmed price growth

Appears at +15% to +24.99% growth in saved USD token-price observations over an approximately 15-minute period. The badge shows the measured percentage to two decimal places (for example, RISING +17.36%), not only the +15% threshold. Market-cap changes alone do not trigger this price badge.

SURGE +25%

Strong price growth

Appears at +25% to +49.99% growth in saved USD token-price observations over an approximately 15-minute period. It displays the measured percentage to two decimal places (for example, SURGE +38.72%) and replaces RISING at this tier. Market-cap changes alone do not trigger this badge.

EXTREME +50%

Very sharp price move

Appears at +50% growth or more in saved USD token-price observations over an approximately 15-minute period. It displays the measured percentage to two decimal places (for example, EXTREME +64.18%) and replaces the lower growth tier. Market-cap changes alone do not trigger this badge. Fast moves can reverse sharply; verify the live quote and contract independently.

ACTIVITY

Recent trading event

Appears when the feed records a recent trade, swap, buy, sell, transaction or similar trading event within the recent-activity window. It does not indicate a minimum market capitalization or guarantee continued trading.

RISK FLAG

Reported risk indicator

Appears when the feed marks a token as a risk event or available metadata reports an active mint authority, active freeze authority, a reported transfer fee, or another explicit risk indicator. This is a warning to investigate, not a complete security audit.

LOW LIQ.

Known liquidity below $5,000

Appears only when reported liquidity is known and below $5,000. Missing liquidity data does not trigger this badge and must not be interpreted as zero liquidity.

HOT · 15M / 1H

New-token price signals

Eligibility: only tokens first recorded in the radar list within the last 60 minutes.
HOT · 15M: confirmed USD token-price or USD market-cap growth of at least +15% over approximately 15 minutes.
HOT · 1H: confirmed USD token-price or USD market-cap growth of at least +25% over approximately one hour.
Evidence: valid saved price or market-cap observations are required. Only positive growth qualifies. Missing or insufficient history is not treated as growth.

HIGH LIQUIDITY · 15M / 1H

New-token liquidity signals

Only tokens first recorded in the radar list within the last 60 minutes, with confirmed current pool liquidity of at least $5,000, qualify. Results are sorted from highest to lowest current liquidity. The 15M signal requires confirmed liquidity growth of at least +15% over approximately 15 minutes. The 1H signal requires confirmed liquidity growth of at least +25% over approximately one hour. Only positive growth qualifies. Missing liquidity or history is never guessed; observations are retained for up to 70 minutes.

How to read the radar

Each point is linked to a token mint. A point is positioned deterministically from its mint, so the same token stays in the same location. Hover a point to see its ticker, name and mint; click it to open that token's detail panel. The radar plots up to 180 eligible tokens at a time.
Rings show the radar’s visual field. Use them to orient yourself and compare the relative placement of points on the display; do not treat ring distance as price, market cap, or risk unless the interface explicitly labels it that way.
Dot size and rings show measured growth. A newly detected token pulses green for 10 minutes. Price-growth signals use saved USD token-price observations: +15% RISING, +25% SURGE, and +50% EXTREME. Market-cap movement alone does not qualify as price growth. Signals need enough valid history and may arrive late.
Radar colors and size. The dot color identifies a new token (green pulse) or a risk marker (red triangle); ordinary token points are blue. Ring size and color reflect the radar's configured growth visualization; price badges themselves are calculated from saved USD price observations. A larger dot is not proof of safety or a recommendation to buy. Red warning markers still indicate reported risk/falling signals.
Use search, filters, and sorting together. Search by token name, ticker or mint address; narrow the feed with source/category tabs and filters, then sort the remaining results.
Open a token row for details. Review the reported price, market cap, volume, source, contract/mint, and available risk information. Use Copy contract to copy the address and Trade to open the available trading destination; verify the destination and contract before interacting.

Important limitations

A missing badge does not mean a token is safe. Growth signals require at least two valid observations and enough history for the 15-minute observation period. The radar samples available feed price and market-cap data about every 30 seconds while the page is active; this does not guarantee that the upstream API itself updates that often. Source data may be delayed, incomplete, estimated, or inconsistent. Browser alerts require an alert preference and browser notification permission; alerts do not run as push notifications when the page is closed. Always verify the live quote, liquidity, slippage, and token contract before trading.

LGM Radar provides informational market signals only. It does not certify projects, audit smart contracts, or provide financial advice.
