What on-chain and market metrics should I track for early-stage tokens?

Key metrics include:

Holder growth: More than 5,000 unique wallets in 30 days can indicate adoption.

Volume spikes: Use DEXTools or DexScreener to track sudden surges on DEXs.

Exchange patterns: Mid-tier exchanges like KuCoin, Gate.io, and MEXC often list tokens before larger exchanges.

Tokenomics: Look for fair launches (community allocation >50%) and built-in burns to curb dumps.

Macro trends: Focus on trending sectors like AI, real-world assets (RWAs), DeFi, and memecoins.

These metrics help you identify promising tokens before mainstream attention drives prices higher.

Active wallet growth and liquidity depth always tell the real story early on.

Watch developer commits and community traction — they reveal more than price charts.
