What Token Launch Tracker does

The Token Launch Tracker skill enables users to efficiently monitor new token launches across various decentralized exchanges (DEXes). By detecting PairCreated events from DEX factory contracts, it fetches relevant token metadata and performs in-depth risk analysis on the contracts. This skill is particularly useful for developers and crypto enthusiasts who want to stay informed about the latest token offerings and assess their safety before engaging with them.

Users can execute commands to retrieve recent launches, detailed token information, and risk assessments. The skill supports multiple chains including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), Arbitrum, Base, and Polygon, allowing for a comprehensive view of the decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape. The risk analysis feature evaluates contracts for potential vulnerabilities, such as mint functions and proxy patterns, helping users make informed decisions.

To get started, users need Python 3.8 or higher and access to an RPC endpoint. The skill can be triggered with phrases like "track launches" or "monitor IDOs," making it accessible for both technical and non-technical users. Additionally, it provides output in both table and JSON formats, catering to different use cases, whether for manual review or programmatic integration.

The Token Launch Tracker is ideal for anyone involved in the DeFi space, from developers looking to integrate token monitoring into their applications to investors wanting to analyze new opportunities. With its detailed risk indicators and cross-chain capabilities, it stands out as a valuable tool for navigating the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency.

When to use it

Use this skill when you need to discover new token launches, monitor initial DEX offerings (IDOs), or analyze token contracts for potential risks.

When not to use it

This skill may not be suitable for users looking for a comprehensive trading platform or those who require real-time trading execution, as it focuses on monitoring and analysis rather than trading functionality.

What you can build with it

Monitor Recent Token Launches

Quickly check the latest token launches on a specific chain to stay updated on new opportunities.

Analyze Token Contracts

Evaluate the risk factors of a token before investing by analyzing its smart contract.

Cross-Chain Monitoring

View and compare token launches across different blockchain networks to identify trends.

Token Launch Tracker

Overview

Monitor new token launches across decentralized exchanges. Detect PairCreated events from DEX factory contracts, fetch token metadata, and analyze contracts for risk indicators like mint functions, blacklists, proxy patterns, and ownership status.

Prerequisites

Before using this skill, ensure you have:

  • Python 3.8+ with requests library
  • RPC endpoint access (public endpoints work for basic usage)
  • Optional: Etherscan API key for contract verification checks
  • Optional: Custom RPC URLs for higher rate limits

Commands

recent - Show Recent Launches

python launch_tracker.py recent --chain ethereum --hours 24
python launch_tracker.py recent --chain base --analyze --limit 20
python launch_tracker.py recent --chain bsc --dex "PancakeSwap V2" -f json

Options:

  • --chain, -c: Chain to scan (ethereum, bsc, arbitrum, base, polygon)
  • --hours, -H: Hours to look back (default: 24)
  • --dex, -d: Filter by DEX name
  • --limit, -l: Maximum results (default: 50)
  • --analyze, -a: Include token and contract analysis
  • --rpc-url: Custom RPC URL

detail - Token Details

python launch_tracker.py detail --address 0x... --chain ethereum

Options:

  • --address, -a: Token contract address (required)
  • --chain, -c: Chain (default: ethereum)
  • --pair, -p: Pair address (optional)
  • --etherscan-key: API key for verification check

risk - Risk Analysis

python launch_tracker.py risk --address 0x... --chain base

Analyzes contract for risk indicators:

  • Mint function (HIGH risk)
  • Proxy contract (MEDIUM risk)
  • Not verified (MEDIUM risk)
  • Blacklist functionality (MEDIUM risk)
  • Active owner (LOW risk)

summary - Launch Statistics

python launch_tracker.py summary --hours 24
python launch_tracker.py summary --chains ethereum,base,arbitrum

dexes - List DEXes

python launch_tracker.py dexes --chain bsc

chains - List Chains

python launch_tracker.py chains

Instructions

  1. Check recent launches on a specific chain:

    cd ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts
    python launch_tracker.py recent --chain ethereum --hours 6
    
  2. Get detailed token info for a specific address:

    python launch_tracker.py detail --address 0x6982508145454ce325ddbe47a25d4ec3d2311933 --chain ethereum
    
  3. Analyze token risk before interaction:

    python launch_tracker.py risk --address 0x... --chain base --etherscan-key YOUR_KEY
    
  4. View cross-chain summary:

    python launch_tracker.py summary --hours 24
    
  5. Export to JSON for programmatic use:

    python launch_tracker.py -f json recent --chain ethereum --analyze > launches.json
