MODEL TM-4 · FOUR-CHANNEL TOKEN COMPARATOR

Put four tokens on the desk.
Watch the needles tell the truth.

Tokenmeter lines up to four Solana tokens on a single mixing console — price, market cap, liquidity, volume, holders, authority flags — so you can see in one glance which one is loud and which one is just noise.

The comparison desk

Type a mint address or a ticker in each channel, then press Meter. Leave a channel empty to mute it. Tickers are resolved to the most liquid match — always check the mint.

Presets
SIGNAL

Signal path

What happens between pressing Meter and the needles moving.

  1. 1 · Input

    Each channel takes a mint (exact) or a ticker. Tickers go to Jupiter's token search and the most liquid match wins — with alternatives shown so you can re-patch.

  2. 2 · Pre-amp

    Jupiter returns price, market cap, FDV, liquidity, holder count, organic score, 24h stats and audit flags for the mint in one request.

  3. 3 · Bus

    DexScreener adds the pool view: how many pools, which DEX holds the deepest one and how many trades crossed in 24 hours.

  4. 4 · Meters

    Values are log-scaled onto VU meters and a six-axis radar so a $50k token and a $5B token can sit on the same scale honestly.

USE

What engineers use the desk for

Spot the copycat

Two tokens share a ticker? Put both on the desk. The real one usually has orders of magnitude more holders, liquidity and an older first pool.

Liquidity sanity check

A $40M market cap on $30k of liquidity means the price is fragile. The Vol / Liq and liquidity meters make that mismatch obvious.

Authority flags

Green LEDs mean mint and freeze authority are revoked. Amber means someone can still mint more or freeze accounts — fine for USDC, worth asking about for a meme.

Sector snapshots

Compare the leaders of a niche — liquid-staking tokens, memes, DeFi governance — and see who actually has users versus who has a chart.

Concentration risk

A high top-holder share means a few wallets can move the market. The Safety axis folds this in with authority flags.

Share a line-up

The address bar remembers your channels, so you can bookmark or share a comparison. Nothing is stored on any server.

MANUAL

Operator's manual: reading token metrics

The numbers on the desk are easy to misread. Here's what each one actually measures on Solana.

Market cap vs FDV

Market cap is price × circulating supply; fully diluted valuation (FDV) is price × total supply. When they differ, tokens are locked, vesting or held by a treasury and may reach the market later. Both are mark-to-market figures: they assume every token could be sold at the last price, which is never true for large holders.

Liquidity is the real depth

Liquidity is the USD value sitting in AMM pools and order books that can absorb trades. It, not market cap, decides how much a sale moves the price. A rough rule on a single constant-product pool: selling tokens worth 1% of the pool's total liquidity pushes the price down by roughly 4% (2% more tokens in the reserve, squared), before fees. Liquidity can also be withdrawn by whoever provided it unless the LP tokens are locked or burned.

Volume and the Vol/Liq ratio

24h volume counts traded value in both directions. A ratio of daily volume to liquidity above ~5× suggests very active or bot-driven trading; near zero means a quiet market. Volume can be inflated by wash trading, so Jupiter also reports an organic score that tries to discount bot-like activity.

Holders

Holder count is the number of token accounts with a non-zero balance. One person can own many wallets, and exchanges hold thousands of users in one account, so treat it as a breadth signal, not a head count.

Mint and freeze authority

Every SPL token mint has an optional mint authority (can create new supply) and freeze authority (can freeze any holder's token account). Revoking them is permanent. Stablecoins like USDC keep both for regulatory reasons; for most community tokens, live authorities are a risk you should understand before holding.

Token-2022

Tokens created with the Token-2022 program can carry extensions such as transfer fees, transfer hooks or a permanent delegate. The spec sheet shows which program a token uses; check extensions before trading a Token-2022 asset.

FAQ

Troubleshooting

Why did my ticker resolve to the wrong token?

Tickers aren't unique on Solana — anyone can create a token called anything. Tokenmeter picks the most liquid match and lists alternatives under the channel. Paste the mint address for an exact match.

Where does "holders" come from?

Jupiter's token index. It counts token accounts with a balance, which can include exchange, program and pool accounts.

Why is a meter pinned at zero or full?

Meters are log-scaled between fixed limits so tokens of very different sizes fit on one scale. Values outside the range pin at the ends — the exact number is always printed under the meter.

Is the Safety axis a rating?

No. It's a transparent formula from three public facts (mint authority, freeze authority, top-holder share). It can't see team behaviour, contract upgrades, off-chain promises or extension risks.

Why does DexScreener show "30+" pools?

DexScreener's public endpoint returns at most 30 pools per token. Large tokens often have many more.

Do you need my wallet?

Never. Tokenmeter is read-only: no wallet connection, no signing, no accounts, no tracking.

How often does it refresh?

Only when you press Meter. The hero meters refresh SOL, JUP and BONK every 30 seconds while the tab is visible.

Limits & honesty

  • Third-party data. Market numbers come from Jupiter's Tokens API and DexScreener as-is. They can lag, disagree with each other, or be wrong for tiny tokens.
  • No verdicts. Meters, radar and "best on the desk" dots compare numbers; they do not say whether a token is good, safe or worth buying.
  • What it can't see: vesting schedules, team wallets, LP locks, Token-2022 extension details, off-chain promises.
  • Rate limits. Up to 8 requests per Meter press (two per channel). If an API refuses, you'll get a retry button.
  • Ticker resolution is a convenience; the mint address is the only real identity of a token.
