How MemeSwap Picks Which Meme Coins to List

A coin has to be big enough that its price is not one wallet's decision. The floors differ by chain because liquidity depth differs by chain.

• Robinhood Chain, Solana and BNB Chain: at least $750,000 market capitalisation.
• Every other chain we index: at least $500,000 market capitalisation and $50,000 of 24-hour volume.

Volume matters as much as size. A large market cap with no trading is a number nobody can act on, and it usually means the float is held by a handful of addresses.

Three ownership checks run on every candidate.

• Holder count: a minimum of 200 distinct holders. Below that, one seller is the market.
• Developer wallet: for a newly added coin around its third day, the deployer's remaining balance must be zero. A funded deployer wallet is the most common source of a sudden, unannounced supply dump.
• Transfer taxes: buy and sell taxes are read from the contract. A coin that taxes selling more heavily than buying is flagged, because that asymmetry is how exit scams are built.

Screens that only read market cap are easy to fool. Two live examples changed our rules.

A coin reported a $774 billion market capitalisation with 323 holders. Another showed $16,000 of daily volume, about a thousand wallets, and a market cap in the billions. Both figures came from a token supply that was arbitrary and a price set in a pool nobody could exit through.

So the screen now compares market capitalisation against real liquidity and real trading, not against the number the contract claims. A coin whose market cap dwarfs the money actually in its pool is rejected regardless of how good the headline number looks.

A coin that has been listed by Robinhood, Coinbase, Kraken or Binance has passed a listing review far more expensive than ours. Those coins are marked as established and are not removed by our automated screens. They lose that status only if every one of those venues delists them.

One thing: a rug. Specifically, liquidity collapsing below a floor or to a fraction of what it had when it was added, or the pool disappearing entirely.

Nothing else removes a coin. Not a price drop, not a quiet week, not a fall down the rankings. A coin that is simply down is still a coin you might own, and hiding it would make the page less honest, not safer.

These are automated checks against public on-chain data and third-party security scans. They can be wrong, they can be stale, and they can be gamed by someone patient enough. They cannot tell you whether a project will still exist next month, whether the team is real, or whether the price is fair.

Every token page on MemeSwap shows the underlying numbers, not just the verdict, so you can disagree with the screen and check the pool, the holders and the contract yourself.

Does MemeSwap create or promote its own tokens?

No. MemeSwap does not launch, issue or market any token. It indexes coins that already trade on public pools and routes swaps to them.

Why is the holder minimum only 200?

Because raising it mostly filters out young coins rather than dishonest ones. The checks that catch manipulation are the liquidity-versus-market-cap comparison and the dev-wallet rule, not the raw holder count.

Can a coin pass these checks and still be a scam?

Yes. Automated screens reduce obvious risk. They do not remove it. Meme coins are speculative and can lose all value.

How often are the checks re-run?

Continuously. Prices and liquidity refresh throughout the day, and rug conditions are evaluated against the most recent pool data.
