# How It Works

SolRadar runs multiple independent discovery systems in parallel, each tuned for a different stage of a token's lifecycle. Every alert is tagged so you always know which system found it.

### 🔥 New Trending

Tokens showing genuine organic momentum — real volume, real price action, boosted visibility on DexScreener. This is the "already moving" category.

### 🌱 New Pair

Freshly created liquidity pools, caught early. These pass through a mandatory liquidity-lock verification (via RugCheck) and a minimum observation age before being alerted — new pools on higher-risk DEXs are held back longer to let obvious rugs reveal themselves first.

### 🎲 Early Bonding Curve

Pre-graduation pump.fun tokens, caught before they even reach a public DEX listing. This is the highest-risk, highest-reward category — flagged clearly as such in every alert.

### 💰 Promoted

Paid placements, verified entirely on-chain (unique-amount SOL payment matching — no manual invoicing, no way to fake a payment). Promoted alerts carry the same safety checks as organic ones; payment does not bypass filtering.

### 📣 Activity Update

Not a new call — a follow-up on a token already being tracked, when it shows fresh momentum (a new DexScreener boost, a profile update). Posted as a reply in the existing thread, not a new alert.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://solradar.gitbook.io/docs/how-it-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
