Crypto screener: how to filter and sort Solana coins on ripr

By ripr Editorial Team12 Nov 20267 min read

On ripr, a crypto screener lives in Explore: you pick a sort, set a couple of ranges, and the app hands back the Solana coins that match. A screener is a filterable table of coins, and the filters are yours to choose. The filtering is the easy half. Knowing which numbers deserve a floor, and what to do with the dozen coins that clear it, is the part worth learning.

What is a crypto screener?

A crypto screener is a table of coins you can sort and filter by market numbers such as market cap, liquidity, 24-hour volume, holders, transactions and age, so a market of hundreds of thousands of coins turns into a list you can read in a minute. ripr's version is the Explore screener, and it covers Solana, because trading, launching and market data on ripr all run on Solana.

The screener filters Solana coins by the venue they trade on and by the launchpad they came from, with range filters for market cap, liquidity, 24-hour volume, holders, transactions and age. On the web its sort row includes Trending, Volume, Gainers, Losers, Market Cap, Txns, Holders and Creation Time. Each app surfaces its own set of sorts and filters.

Trending deserves a note, because it is the one sort the app defines for you. It ranks on how fast a coin's trades, its volume and its number of separate buyers are growing, and it pushes down activity that carries the marks of manipulation. The other sorts are plain rankings of one column.

How to run a screen on ripr's Explore screener

A screen on ripr takes four moves, and all of them live on one page in Explore.

Pick the sort that matches your question. Volume for where the money actually went over the past day, Gainers for the day's movers, Holders for breadth, Creation Time for coins that have only just appeared.
Put a floor under liquidity. Liquidity is the money in the pool you trade against, and it decides how far your own order moves the price.
Band the market cap. A range keeps you comparing coins at one stage of life rather than all stages at once.
Set an age range if the stage matters. A coin ten minutes old and a coin ten months old behave nothing alike.

ripr puts one floor under the Market cap sort for you. Leave the bounds blank and coins with under $5,000 of liquidity or fewer than 100 holders stay out of that sort, unless you set those limits yourself.

There is one more switch worth knowing about. Hide warnings in Explore leaves out the coins ripr has flagged for rug patterns, and it arrives off by default. Turn it on when you would rather screen a shorter list.

What the columns in a screener row tell you

Each column in a screener row answers a different question, and the sort you picked ranks only one of them.

Market cap is price multiplied by supply, so it drifts all day with the price.
Liquidity is the depth you trade against.
24-hour volume is how much actually changed hands.
Holders counts people, and Txns counts the past day's trades, instead of dollars.
Age places a coin in its life.

Market cap is the column people trust most and read least, and what market cap really says about a meme coin is the longer version of that argument.

A sort ranks. It does not judge, and that gap is where bad screens live. Put a high floor under liquidity on ripr and you can still turn up a row like this one: about $7.8 million of pool liquidity, and 88 trades across a whole day worth under $200 between them. Deep, and fast asleep. A second floor, this time under 24-hour volume, is what keeps that row off your screen, and that is the entire argument for pairing a sort with a range.

From a screener row to a check on the coin page

A screener hands you a shortlist, and the check that matters happens on the coin page behind the row. ripr shows rule-based warnings there for known rug patterns, such as a creator who holds unlocked liquidity, liquidity that has already been pulled, or a coordinated launch, and it says plainly that not seeing a warning never means a coin is safe. Those warnings follow you into the buy flow as well, so the last read happens where the decision does.

Two more reads sit on the same page. The app shows what share of the supply the top 10 and top 50 wallets hold and what the creator still holds, with pools and vaults left out, so a tight top ten under a chart that has gone vertical earns a pause. On iPhone and Android the page also says when a coin is under review, light on liquidity, has paused prices or is still being checked.

If a ticker reaches you from a group chat rather than from your screen, search for it inside ripr first. Search takes a name, a ticker or a full contract address, and a contract address is the long string that names one exact coin on chain. Paste the whole thing. You can read the same string on a public Solana explorer, and ripr's help centre keeps a short routine for trading more safely. The long version of the risk read is how to spot a risky meme coin.

Keep the screen: watchlists, categories and themes

A screener earns its keep when the shortlist outlives the session, and ripr's Explore holds watchlists on web, iPhone and Android. Four names you are watching beat forty tabs you are not.

Two other views narrow the market before you reach the filters at all. ripr groups coins into categories: memes, DeFi, gaming, AI and stablecoins, though some labels are assigned automatically, so read a category as a starting point. On iPhone and Android, Narratives group coins that share a theme word in their name or ticker, track each theme as an index and label it Hot, Rising or Cooling.

Hold on to one thing about every screen you build. Prices, charts and trades in the app update over a live connection, which makes a screen a photograph of a moving market rather than a saved result. Web charts carry eight timeframes from one second to one day, in price, market cap or volume, which is how you tell a move that started this morning from one that has been building for a week.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a crypto screener and a crypto scanner?

A crypto screener filters and sorts a table of coins by numbers you choose, such as liquidity or market cap. A scanner watches a live feed of what is launching or trading right now. ripr covers both: the Explore screener for your own filters, and the New tab on the home page for coins that have only just appeared.

Can I use a crypto screener on my phone?

Yes. ripr's Explore screener runs on web, iPhone and Android, and your watchlists travel between them, so you can screen coins on a phone and open the same coin page you would read on a laptop. Each app surfaces its own set of filters and sorts.

Which coins does a crypto screener on ripr cover?

ripr's screener covers Solana coins. It filters them by the venue they trade on and by the launchpad they came from, with ranges for market cap, liquidity, 24-hour volume, holders, transactions and age. Trading, launching and market data all run on Solana.

Can a crypto screener tell me whether a coin is risky?

A screener reports numbers, so the risk read happens after the filtering. On ripr, each coin page adds rule-based warnings for known rug patterns and shows how much of the supply the top 10 and top 50 wallets hold. Not seeing a warning never means a coin is safe.

Start with one screen you trust

Open Explore, pick one sort, put a floor under liquidity and a band on market cap, and read the three or four names that survive properly. Keep a first position small enough to shrug at, and keep enough SOL spare for network fees. A screener decides what deserves your attention. What deserves your money is still your call.
