Chapter 4
Controls & filters
Everything around the lanes: the toolbar that narrows and orders the board, the search box that doubles as a contract lookup, and the header controls that decide how much board you receive and how often.
4.1The toolbar
Everything above the lanes. Filters narrow all three lanes at once; sort orders within them.
Chain filter
A segmented control listing All plus every chain currently enabled for your account. This is a view filter on top of the chains you actually receive — see My chains in section 4.3 for changing what the board delivers in the first place.
Flag filters
| Filter | Keeps only tokens where… |
|---|---|
| Fresh under 2h | the pair is younger than 120 minutes. |
| Trending | the token appears in the ranked volume feed for its chain — the same condition behind the TRENDING pill. |
| GMGN verified | the security verdict is a full pass — not warn, not pending. |
The three stack. Fresh + verified is the tightest useful combination on the board and will often leave you with nothing, which is itself information.
Sort
| Option | Orders by | Use when |
|---|---|---|
| Score | the score, high to low | default; the composite view |
| 1h momentum | 1h price change | hunting what is moving right now |
| VOL/MC | turnover ratio | hunting real trading activity |
| Market cap | market cap, high to low | filtering by size band |
| Newest | youngest pair first | early entries; pair with Fresh |
Refresh Pro / Edge
Re-prices and re-verifies every card currently visible, ignoring the scan cadence. Use it after a market move, before committing to an entry, or when a batch looks stale. It respects your filters — filter down first, then refresh, rather than refreshing forty cards to look at three.
Density
Two layouts, remembered per account:
- Full — every row in Chapter 3.
- Compact — keeps the score, the composition bar, metrics, momentum, buy pressure and the whole risk strip; hides the composition legend, the time-window labels, the buy/sell counts, the band hit-rate line, the rule count and the “Why this score” expander.
Compact is for scanning a busy board; Full is for deciding on a specific card. Every risk check stays visible in both.
Count and export
n shown on the right is how many cards survived your filters across all three lanes. On Edge, two more buttons export the current board as CSV or JSON, honouring the chain filter.
4.2Search and contract lookup
The search box matches name, symbol, or address, case-insensitively, as a substring. It filters the board — it does not query the chain.
Pasting a contract address
One box, two behaviours. If what you paste looks like a contract address and matches nothing currently on the board, Memescope treats it as an instruction rather than a failed search. After a short pause it fetches the token, scores it, verifies it, pins it, and merges it into the lanes. Status appears beside the box:
- contract not on the board — fetching… — the lookup has started.
- ✓ fetched from chain · pinned — the token is now on the board, pinned so it survives the next scan.
- ✕ no pair found for that address — no trading pair exists for that address on a chain you have enabled.
A hand-looked-up token gets its security check immediately rather than waiting for the next scan's sweep, because it is a coin you are about to make a decision on. If that check is slow or fails, the token still lands on the board — pinned, scored, verdict pending.
Lookup requires a signed-in account. Clear the box with the ✕ inside it.
4.3Header, settings and scan history
Status readouts
| Readout | Means |
|---|---|
| Feed live | Last poll succeeded. A n fresh suffix counts the security verdicts currently cached and current. |
| Scanning… | A server scan is in flight right now. |
| Feed issue | The last poll failed. The board keeps showing the last good batch; the error banner says why. |
| Last scan | Clock time the displayed batch was generated — not when you last polled. |
| Scan rate | Your poll frequency. Click it to open Settings. |
Settings drawer
- Poll frequency — how often your browser asks for a new batch: 15s · 30s · 60s · 90s · 180s · Off. Your plan sets the floor; faster options are hidden if your plan cannot use them. This is your read cadence, not the scanner's — the server scans every 30s regardless.
- Notification settings — which call events reach you and through which channels.
- My chains Pro / Edge — narrow the board to a subset of the chains your admin has enabled. Selecting all of them is the same as expressing no preference. Free accounts see the chains flagged as freely available.
- Provider status — whether the security and rank provider is reachable and keyed. When it reads degraded or rate-limited, expect more dashed risk tiles and more PENDING cards.
Scan history paid plans
The clock icon opens every batch you have actually received, newest first, ten at a time and loading more as you scroll. Open one to see that batch exactly as it was: its market snapshot, its Strong Buy / Watch / Avoid counts, and every card, filterable by lane.
This is the record of what the board told you at the time — the thing to check when reviewing a decision, rather than reasoning backwards from a chart that has already moved.
Other header controls
- Alert bell — call events: lane changes, new highs, milestone multiples. Unread count on the badge.
- Backtest paid plans — the full version of the band hit-rate line: every score band, its sample count and its measured hit rate.
