How to Find Tokens Before They Pump – Full 2025 Guide
Altcoins have massive upside potential. And the average altcoin performance during a bull market is around 50x, but the right token can easily 100x or even 1000x. For example, AAVE was trading at $0.32 in 2019. It then hit a high of $707.67 – a 2211x increase. But how do you spot the next big token before the market catches on? Enter Moralis, the industry’s #1 on-chain analytics platform, providing the data, insights, and buy signals you need to stay ahead. Ready to find tokens before they pump? Let’s dive in!

Altcoins Can Pump Over 100x
Imagine if you found MATIC when it was trading at $0.016. Just a year later, it hit $2.73 – a whopping 171x increase.
Or imagine you found Elrond (EGLD) in November of 2020 when it was trading for $7.06. A year later, it traded at $549.23 – a 78x increase.
Investing $500 in these two projects at the right time could have netted you $124,500. We know because we identified both MATIC and EGLD before they pumped!
Did you miss out on these opportunities? Don’t worry; the coming bull market is your chance – but only if you start preparing now.
Avoid the Three Trading Mistakes 99% of People Do
Even in bull market conditions, most traders end up failing. Why? It all comes down to three main challenges:
- Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Many traders don’t have the proper tools for trading and lack a solid system. Instead, they let emotions guide their actions. In turn, they FOMO in at the top, just in time for the value to dump.
- Scams: In the fast-paced crypto market, it’s difficult for casual traders to identify sketchy-looking coins. This makes them highly vulnerable to rug pulls and exit scams.
- Time Constraints: Keeping track of different tokens is a full-time job. Crypto never sleeps, and the market is volatile, meaning opportunities come and go fast.
So, how can you avoid these challenges? Enter Moralis – the industry’s leading on-chain analytics platform for investors and traders!

Find Tokens Before They Pump with Token Explorer
With Token Explorer, you can combine 20+ metrics and filters to create custom search strategies, enabling you to find exactly the coins you’re looking for. It’s the ultimate tool for discovering tokens before they pump!
Here’s what the interface looks like:

To build a strategy, you need to select a chain, pick metrics, and apply filters. Once you’re happy with your strategy, you can run it to generate a dynamic list of tokens matching your preferences. Here’s an example of what it might look like:

To better understand the Token Explorer feature, let’s examine our various metrics and filters a bit more closely!
Filters & Metrics
We provide a wide range of metrics and filters so you can customize your strategies. Here are a few prominent examples:
- Category: Explore tokens by categories such as DeFi, gaming, memecoins, and stablecoins. This is a useful metric for finding specific token types.
- Hype Score: Find coins with positive on-chain activity. This metric helps you discover tokens gaining traction and may soon experience price surges.
- Market Cap: Filter tokens by market capitalization to find opportunities among both large and small altcoins.
- Coin Age: Discover tokens based on their minting date. This is a valuable metric for identifying new coins and emerging opportunities.
- Buy Pressure: Find coins with increasing or decreasing buy pressure. The Buy Pressure metric represents the difference between buyer and seller volumes, helping you gauge market sentiment.
- Safety Score: A reliability score based on on-chain data analytics. This metric can be used to filter out potential scam coins.
- Experienced Net Buyers: Find tokens based on the number of experienced buyers purchasing them. By focusing on the activity of seasoned traders, this metric provides a more in-depth view of market sentiment.
…and many more!

All in all, with Token Explorer, you can easily discover up-and-coming altcoins. Create your own search strategies to find tokens before they pump, or use one of our preset queries for a quick start.
With raw, on-chain data, you’ll get market alpha before there’s any X/Twitter hype and long before these coins appear on services like CoinGecko!
Avoid Scams with Safety Score
With our Safety Score, you can easily avoid potential scams. Look for the green shield to get a quick reliability assessment based on irrefutable on-chain data:

Additionally, visit any token page for a more in-depth breakdown. For example, here’s what it looks like for Dogecoin:

You’ll find both positive and negative markers, helping you assess a token’s overall risk and determine whether or not it’s a scam. This is a great resource for avoiding potential rug pulls and exit scams!
Get Real-Time Updates with Token Alerts
Token Alerts is a real-time notification feature that helps you find tokens before they pump, even when you’re not actively trading!
You can set up three different types of alerts:
- Token Alert: Configure notifications for specific tokens to track price changes, buy pressure, net buyers, and other key metrics.
- Strategy Alert: Receive alerts for your saved strategies when new opportunities matching your filters emerge.
- Bundle Alert: Set up notifications for our predefined bundles.

With Token Alerts, you gain access to real-time information, enabling you to discover new opportunities without needing to be full-time in crypto.
Step-by-Step: How to Find Tokens Before They Pump
We’ll now show you how to find tokens before they pump using the Token Explorer. Follow this three-step tutorial to discover new, secure altcoins with positive on-chain activity that could lead to price surges!
Step 1: Find New Tokens
Click the ”Explore” tab in the navigation bar on the left, select a chain, and apply the Coin Age filter:

In this case, we specify that we only want to find tokens minted within the past 30 days. As a result, we receive a list of new tokens:

Step 2: Remove Potential Scam Coins
The list above is filled with coins that have a low Safety Score. As such, to remove potential scam coins, we’ll also apply the Safety Score filter:

In return for running the strategy above, we now remove any token with a Safety Score lower than 65. This leaves us with a list of new and safe altcoins:

Step 3: Get Tokens with Positive On-Chain Activity
Finally, to get tokens with positive on-chain activity, we’ll combine Coin Age and Safety Score with the Hype Score metric:

This will allow us to find tokens that have a Hype Score between 55% and 100%. Here’s what our final list looks like:

That’s it; generating a dynamic list of tokens based on your preferences doesn’t have to be more challenging than this. From here, you can now remove or add any additional metrics to make even more targeted search queries. As such, it’s never been easier to find tokens before they pump!
If you’re looking for a quick start, check out one of our suggested strategies. For instance, find trending memecoins, AI tokens, gaming tokens, and much more:

Token Alerts – Get Notified Before Coins Pump
With Token Alerts, you can stay ahead of the market without being glued to your screen. Set custom alerts, and you’ll get notified as soon as new opportunities emerge based on your preferences.
To demo this feature, we’ll now show you how easy it is to set up a token price alert:
- Step 1: Go to the ”Alerts” tab and click ”+ Create Alert”:

- Step 2: Select ”Token Alert” and configure your alert. Give it a name, select the token you wish to monitor, set an alert condition, choose a frequency, and specify how you wish to receive the notification:

- Step 3: Click ”Save Token Alert”:

Once saved, you’ll be notified when the conditions are met. For example, we’ll receive an email when Neiro increases by 10% in value.
