Competitor Tracker

7 min read

What it is

Add competitor tokens by contract address. Live metrics every 5 minutes: liquidity, 24h volume, buy/sell ratio, market cap, holder distribution. Each token also gets a Bot Likelihood score with 4 ratings (CLEAN / LOW / MODERATE / HIGH) that flags suspicious patterns — over-consistent volume, perfect 50/50 buy/sell, daily volume that is 10× the pool depth, etc. Every flag shows the raw data point so you can verify it yourself. 10 chains supported.

How to think about it

Sister tool to Volume Health Widget — same engine, opposite direction. Volume Health = broadcast YOUR token quality to buyers. Competitor Tracker = research THEIR tokens for due diligence. Use when evaluating partnerships, competing for the same audience, or trying to position credibly against wash-trading neighbors. The "every flag shows raw data" design is intentional — heuristics can be wrong, so you should always be able to verify.

Step-by-step

  1. Read the "What is this tool" panel

    Top of page, expandable indigo card. Explains the problem (manual competitor research takes hours across multiple aggregators) and the 3-step usage. 30 seconds of context.

  2. Click Track new token

    Add Form opens. Enter display name (optional, useful for distinguishing competitors with similar names), contract address (0x...), and network (10 chains: Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, BSC, Avalanche, Blast, Linea, Scroll). Click Add.

  3. Read the watchlist row

    Each row shows: symbol + display name, contract address, network, market cap, health score with rating, bot likelihood rating (CLEAN / LOW / MODERATE / HIGH with icon), and Details / Remove actions. Quickly scan all your competitors at a glance.

  4. Drill into Details for a deep analysis

    Click Details on any row. Full breakdown: daily volume chart, hourly activity heat map (real human trading clusters in regional hours; bot trading is flat 24/7), buy/sell ratio over time, dominant wallet analysis (one wallet doing >50% of volume = single entity controls the market), individual bot indicator severity badges with the raw data backing each flag.

  5. Use bot likelihood for partnership / investment DD

    CLEAN (green check) = patterns look organic. LOW (cyan check) = mostly clean with minor flags. MODERATE (amber warning) = mixed signals worth investigating. HIGH (red bot icon) = strong patterns of simulated activity. A MODERATE+ rating on a partnership candidate is a flag worth asking about.

  6. Run monthly to spot momentum shifts

    Set a monthly cadence (1st of each month). Re-run all your tracked competitors. Note who moved up the health ladder (gaining real momentum) vs who is bleeding (volume declining, bot likelihood rising as they fake numbers to hide the decline). This is unique intelligence — most teams do not track competitors this systematically.

  7. Verify every flag yourself

    Every bot likelihood flag shows the raw data point that triggered it. "Volume too uniform across days" shows the actual daily volume series. "Pool depth 10× daily volume" shows both numbers. Heuristics can be wrong — if a flag does not match reality, you can dismiss it. The design intentionally surfaces evidence, not just conclusions.

Tips & pitfalls

  • Bot Likelihood is a HEURISTIC, not a verdict. A HIGH rating means observable metrics LOOK suspicious — not that we have proven the token is fake. Use the flags as a starting point for your own DD, not as a final judgment to publish.
  • Hourly activity heat map is the highest-signal tool on the details page. Real human trading clusters in US / EU / Asia market hours with overnight dips. Flat 24/7 activity is almost always simulated, regardless of bot likelihood score.
  • Dominant wallet > 50% of volume = a single entity (likely the project or market maker) controls the market. This is normal in the first weeks of a launch but suspicious 3+ months in.
  • Volume-to-liquidity ratio > 10x daily = wash trading is mathematically necessary to produce that volume on that pool depth. Real liquidity-constrained tokens cannot exceed ~2-3x daily volume without massive slippage that nobody would trade through.
  • Use Competitor Tracker monthly for the 3-5 closest competitors. Quarterly for the 10-20 wider competitive set. Daily checks are overkill — the metrics are designed for longitudinal pattern detection, not intraday surveillance.
  • Compare tab puts two tokens side-by-side with normalized metrics. Useful when pitching investors / partners: "we have higher organic volume per unit of liquidity than [competitor X]" backed by concrete numbers.
  • Sister tool: Volume Health Widget. Same engine, opposite direction — broadcast YOUR token quality publicly via embeddable badges (Volume Health), or research COMPETITOR tokens privately (Competitor Tracker).
  • NOT for accusing competitors publicly. Bot likelihood is a heuristic with false-positive risk. Calling out a competitor as "wash trading" based on this tool alone is reputationally dangerous if they can rebut individual flags. Use as private DD, not public ammunition.
