Trenches

Trenches is your real-time window into the earliest stages of token life cycles. It monitors launchpad tokens without requiring you to leave Shotgun - giving you faster access to new launches, tokens approaching migration, and freshly migrated tokens, all-in-one place.

You can Quick Buy any token directly from the Trenches tables by clicking the ⚡ lightning bolt icon next to the token - no need to open the full token page first.

Filter	Description
Age (mins)	Filter tokens based on how many minutes since launch. Useful for focusing on the very newest tokens.
Top 10 Holders %	Range for the % of supply held by the top 10 wallets. Lower values = more decentralized.

Holders	Total number of unique wallet holders. More holders generally indicates broader adoption.

Risk Signals to Watch

When evaluating tokens in Trenches, pay attention to these warning signs:

High Dev Holding % - developers holding a large % can dump at any time
High Sniper % - if bots sniped heavily at launch, early holders may dump quickly
High Bundle % - coordinated wallets can create artificial pump-and-dump patterns
Low Holders with high volume - wash trading by a small group of wallets

Trenches shows early-stage tokens with high risk profiles. Always use filters and assess the risk signals above before buying. Many tokens in these tables will go to zero.
