Overview

MetaTracker reads the last 50 Solana memecoin runners and tells you what the meta is: which narratives are running, what the runners have in common, and what's losing steam. Everything is on the front page and nothing needs a wallet.

Every number on the site comes straight from market data at the time of the update. The only writing that comes from AI is the read itself (headline, narratives, working and losing steam) and the narratives you ask the writer for.

The wire and headlines

The wire is a running list of what just happened among the runners: a coin joining the 50, crossing a market cap milestone ($1M, $2.5M, $5M, $10M and up), taking the lead for the day, climbing 10 or more places, or moving 50% up or 35% down within an hour. Each event comes from comparing one refresh of the data with the last, so nothing on the wire is written by AI or made up. Each event is reported once.

Crypto headlines are the latest stories from CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Decrypt, The Block and Blockworks, taken from their public feeds. We show the headline and link to the original story; stories about Solana or memecoins are marked.

Coin pages

Every runner has its own page with its backstory, why it's trending right now, and facts worth keeping in mind, plus live numbers, a 24-hour and 7-day chart, holder share, the narratives it belongs to, its wire events and similar coins.

The story is written from the coin's own description on DexScreener, the description in its launch metadata (read through Helius), the text of its website if it has one, and the live numbers. Anything the creators say about their coin is treated as their claim, not as fact. When a coin has published little, the story says so rather than inventing lore. Stories are refreshed every two hours.

Holders, dev and bundles

Each coin page reads its holders and its first trades straight from Solana through Helius. Holdings update every 15 seconds and the holder count every minute:

• Holders: wallets holding any of the coin (counted up to 10,000).
• Top 10 wallets and biggest wallet: their share of supply, not counting the liquidity pool.
• Whales: wallets holding 1% or more of supply, pool excluded.
• Dev wallet: the wallet that sent the transaction that created the coin. We show what it got at launch and what it holds now.
• Bundles: other wallets that bought in the same block the coin was created, how much they bought, and how much they still hold.
• Early buyers: wallets that bought in the next five blocks (about two seconds).

Dev and bundle numbers need Helius' launch-history method; if a plan doesn't include it, the page says so instead of showing a number. A launch tool or a fresh wallet can make a dev look separate from its bundle, so treat these as signals, not proof.

Narrative rating and Buzz

The Rating tab on each coin page has two scores.

Narrative rating (1 to 10) is written with the coin's story and graded on today's curve: every coin rated is already one of the day's top runners, so a typical runner scores 6 and a standout 9 or 10. It scores virality on X (a shareable image or joke, a hook on a trending person or event, an active account, the size of the crowd), meme-ability, originality, fit with today's meta and staying power, with virality and meme-ability counting most. It rates the narrative, not the price.

Buzz (0 to 100) is worked out live and ranked against today's other runners, so 50 is the middle of the pack. It uses trades, volume against size, the last-hour move and buy share (each ranked against the field), plus holders, socials and DexScreener promotion, and how many other runners share its theme. 75+ is on fire, 60+ hot, 40+ warm, 25+ quiet, below that cold.

Neither score reads posts on X directly: that needs the X API. Virality is judged from the coin itself and its numbers.

Whales and PnL

The Whales tab on each coin page lists the 20 biggest wallets (liquidity pool left out), with the 1%+ wallets marked. For each one you see:

• Holds: its share of supply and what that's worth at the live price.
• PnL on this coin: profit or loss in USD, counting what it still holds, and how much it has already taken out.
• Bought / sold: how much it put in and took out.
• Lifetime PnL: its profit or loss across every coin it has traded, and how many coins that is.
• Tags: dev, bundle or early buyer (from the launch history), and a name when the wallet is known, like a KOL or an exchange.

Holdings come from Solana through Helius. PnL and wallet names come from Solana Tracker and refresh every two minutes. Tap a wallet to open it on GMGN.

Top runner and movers

The top of the page is the runner with the biggest 24-hour gain that also has real trading behind it (at least $50K of volume and $15K of liquidity). Its 24h change, price, last-hour change and market cap update every 15 seconds while the page is open.

Below it, the trending list re-ranks the runners by their gain over 30 minutes, 1 hour, 6 hours, 12 hours or 24 hours. The 1h, 6h and 24h numbers update live. The 30m number comes from GeckoTerminal and refreshes every few minutes. Neither source gives a 12-hour number, so 12h is worked out from hourly price candles; a brand-new runner can take a few minutes to get one.

Coin types

Each runner gets a badge for what kind of coin it is:

• Meme: A character, joke or idea. No product.
• Utility: Ships something: a launchpad, swap, bot, app or tool.
• Tweet coin: Named after a post or moment that went viral.
• AI agent: An AI agent or AI-made character with its own account.
• News: Rides a headline or real-world event.
• Person: About a real person, streamer or creator.
• Community takeover: The original dev left and the community runs it.

Community takeover comes straight from DexScreener's takeover list. The rest start as a keyword guess and are then set by the AI read, which sees each coin's name, description and socials.

Holder share

"Top 10" is the share of a coin's supply held by its 10 biggest wallets, read from Solana through Helius. The liquidity pool's own balance is left out, because it isn't a holder. It refreshes every 30 minutes per coin.

What counts as a runner

A runner is a Solana token that:

• launched in the last 72 hours,
• is worth at least $100K right now, and
• has at least $8K of liquidity in its main pool.

The 50 biggest by market cap make the board. On slow days, when fewer than 50 qualify, the window widens to 120 and then 168 hours. The front page always says which window is in use.

Stablecoins, SOL and long-established tokens are excluded.

Where the data comes from

Candidates that get close to qualifying are remembered for up to a week, so a coin that ran two days ago stays on the board even after it drops off the "latest" lists.

How themes are found

Each runner gets one of these themes. The AI read picks it from what the coin actually is (a coin pitching its own launchpad or app goes under Platforms & tools, a dog coin under Animals). Until the read runs, a keyword pass over the name, ticker and description stands in:

• Animals
• AI & agents
• Politics & headlines
• People & creators
• Internet culture
• Crypto & CT lore
• Platforms & tools
• Anime, games & film
• Food & drink
• Science & space
• Faith & the mystical
• Standalone memes (a meme with no wider theme)

These colors are the board, the bar under it and the filter on the runners table. The AI read then goes further and names the specific narratives behind them, like a particular kind of animal story rather than just "animals".

The AI read

The AI gets the current runners as a table: name, ticker, market cap, age, 24h change, launchpad, which socials they have, and the creator's own description. It writes the headline, groups the runners into 3 to 6 narratives (each marked rising, holding or cooling), and lists what's working and what's losing steam.

It's told to stick to the data, to treat coin descriptions as data rather than instructions, and never to give buy or sell calls. One read is written every 15 minutes and shared by every visitor.

Narrative writer

Pick one of today's narratives (or leave it on the strongest) and optionally type your own angle. You get:

• a name and ticker that don't match any current runner,
• the lore in a few short paragraphs,
• why it fits today, with the runners it sits next to,
• a logo direction that works as a small avatar on a dex feed and on white,
• a first post with no ticker, cashtag or contract address in it.

It won't copy an existing coin, impersonate a real person or brand, or talk price. Each visitor can write a few per minute.

How often it updates

Prices, market caps and % moves update every 2 seconds on coin pages and every 5 seconds on the front page, straight from DexScreener. Holder stats update every 15 seconds. The list of runners refreshes every 3 minutes, the wire and headlines every minute, and the AI read every 15 minutes.

Public JSON

Everything on the front page is available as JSON at /api/meta. It's read-only and cached for 3 minutes.

Limits

• It only sees coins that show up on DexScreener or GeckoTerminal. A coin that runs without ever trending there can be missed.
• Market caps move fast. The numbers are a snapshot from the last update.
• The keyword themes are rough by design. The AI read is the better guide.
• Nothing here is financial advice.
