Multi-chain DEX token screener with security & smart filters.

DEX Screener data is updated in near-real-time, with prices, volumes, and transaction counts refreshing every few seconds. New token pairs are detected automatically as they are created on supported DEXs. Buy/sell ratios and liquidity metrics update on the same cadence, ensuring the screening data reflects current market conditions.

DEX Screener supports 20+ chains including Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, BSC, Polygon, Optimism, and Avalanche. Within each chain, all major decentralized exchanges are covered — Uniswap and Sushiswap on Ethereum, Raydium and Orca on Solana, PancakeSwap on BSC, Aerodrome on Base, and dozens more. New DEXs are added as they gain meaningful liquidity.

DEX Screener runs contract-security analysis to flag honeypot contracts, hidden transfer fees, mint authority risks, proxy contract dangers, and trading restrictions. These checks run automatically for every token displayed in the screener. While no automated tool catches every possible risk, the inline security layer identifies the most common rug-pull patterns and contract red flags before you trade.

Buy/sell ratios measure the proportion of buy transactions versus sell transactions over a given period. A ratio above 1.0 indicates more buy pressure than sell pressure, suggesting accumulation. Ratios significantly below 1.0 indicate distribution or selling pressure. This metric is particularly useful for newly launched tokens where traditional indicators like moving averages have insufficient history.

Yes, DEX Screener includes a watchlist feature that lets you save tokens for persistent monitoring. Watchlisted tokens remain accessible across sessions, making it easy to track early-stage discoveries as they develop. You can add tokens from any supported chain and monitor their price, volume, and liquidity changes from a single unified view.

On-chain explorers like Etherscan show raw transaction data for a single chain. DEX Screener aggregates and normalizes trading pair data across 20+ chains into a unified interface with filtering, sorting, security scoring, and watchlists. The focus is on actionable trading intelligence rather than raw blockchain data, making it faster to find and evaluate new opportunities.

Yes. DEX Screener is available free on Sharpe Terminal with no account required. All chains, filters, security checks, and watchlist features are accessible immediately. The same data is available through Sharpe's REST API, MCP server, and CLI tool for programmatic access.

A DEX chart plots price (Y-axis) against time (X-axis) using candlesticks — each candle's body represents open and close prices, with wicks showing the high and low. Volume bars beneath measure traded quantity per interval. For DEX pairs, price is derived from the ratio of reserves in the liquidity pool, not from a matching order book, so thin liquidity pools can produce exaggerated wicks on small trades. Check the liquidity figure and buy/sell transaction count alongside price to separate real price discovery from noise.

A DEX (decentralized exchange) executes trades via on-chain smart contracts and liquidity pools with no custodian — users trade from their own wallets. A CEX (centralized exchange like Binance or Coinbase) holds user funds and matches orders through an internal order book. DEXs offer permissionless listing (any token can launch instantly), self-custody, and on-chain transparency, while CEXs typically offer tighter spreads, higher liquidity for large caps, and fiat on-ramps.

A liquidity pool is a smart contract holding paired token reserves (for example, USDC and a new token) against which traders swap. Pool depth — the total dollar value of locked reserves — determines slippage: a $10K swap against a $100K pool causes ~10% slippage, while the same swap against a $10M pool causes ~0.1%. Low liquidity pools are also more vulnerable to rug pulls if the creator retains the ability to remove liquidity, so pool depth and lock status are critical risk inputs before trading newly launched tokens.
