# Trending Solana meme coins right now: how to find them on ripr > See which Solana meme coins are trending right now on ripr's live list, what the ranking reacts to, and what to read on a coin before you buy it. - URL: https://ripr.trade/blog/trending-solana-meme-coins - Publisher: ripr (https://ripr.trade) - Author: ripr Editorial Team - Published: 2026-11-04 - Category: Guides On ripr, "which Solana meme coins are trending right now" is a live list rather than an article someone wrote this morning. Open Explore and pick Trending: it ranks coins on how fast their trades, volume and distinct buyers are growing, and pushes down activity that looks manipulated. The order keeps changing as trading does. Reading that list well is the part worth learning. ## Where trending Solana meme coins show up on ripr Explore is the home for all of this. It lists trending coins, newly launched ones and coins scheduled to launch, and it keeps your watchlists, on web, iPhone and Android. [Trending](https://ripr.trade/?tab=trending) is the tab to start on. Prices, charts and trade feeds on ripr update over a live connection instead of a page refresh, and each new fill reaches the chart as soon as ripr decodes it. The ranking refreshes as that trading data lands, so the list you come back to in ten minutes is not the one you left. A coin that makes the list also carries a Trending badge on its own page. Worth knowing where those figures come from: ripr decodes Solana transactions itself through its own in-house data and execution layer rather than reselling an aggregator's feed. The whole app is Solana-only too, so trading, launching and market data all sit on one chain. ## What puts a coin on ripr's Trending list A momentum list is only useful once you know what it reacts to. ripr ranks Trending on how fast trades, volume and distinct buyers are growing, and it pushes down coins whose activity looks manipulated. It also keeps only the top variant of near-identical copycat coins, so one viral word doesn't fill your screen with twenty versions of itself. The distinct-buyers input is the one to remember, because it separates a coin that is busy from a coin that is broad. On one long-running Solana meme coin in ripr's own data, a single day of trading came to roughly 11,000 fills spread across about 1,700 separate wallets: plenty of trades, a much smaller crowd behind them. Two coins can post similar volume with very different numbers of people involved, and that difference is one of the first things worth checking on the coin page. What a high rank tells you is that a coin is busy. It says nothing about whether the coin is worth owning, and that is where ripr's filters earn their place: Explore has a **Hide warnings** filter that drops coins ripr has flagged, so switching it on leaves you a shorter list of names actually worth opening. ## Reading a trending coin before you chase it By the time a coin reaches the top of any momentum list, plenty of people are already in it. So the question on each name is no longer "is this moving" — the list settled that — but "what is this". The coin page holds that answer. If you heard the ticker in a group chat instead, search for it first. ripr's search takes a ticker or the full contract address. That address, also called the mint, is the only unique identifier a Solana coin has, and anything working gets cloned under a near-identical ticker fast, so paste the address in full and check it on a [public Solana explorer](https://explorer.solana.com/) if you want a second view. Then read the page in this order. - **Warnings.** Before you buy, ripr shows warnings for known rug patterns: a creator holding unlocked liquidity, liquidity that has already been pulled, a coordinated launch. It checks coins for linked wallets and for creators keeping supply, and the phone apps flag when a coin is under review, light on liquidity or still being checked. ripr puts it plainly on the page, and it is worth carrying with you: "Not seeing one never means a coin is safe." - **Holders.** The page shows what share of the supply the top 10 and top 50 wallets hold, plus the creator's own share. Pools and vaults sit outside that count. A tight top ten under a vertical chart deserves a pause. - **The creator.** Each coin page lists the other coins that wallet has launched. Read the pattern yourself. - **Curve progress.** A coin still on a bonding curve shows how far it has travelled toward graduation, updating live as it trades. - **The tape.** On web, ripr's charts go down to one-second candles, and the phone apps carry a live tick view. Half a minute of watching tells you whether fresh buyers keep arriving or the same handful of wallets keep trading with each other. [How to spot a risky meme coin](https://ripr.trade/blog/how-to-spot-a-risky-meme-coin) walks the full version of that check if you want it in more detail. ## Set your own definition of trending in Explore A ready-made list is one definition of momentum. The [screener](https://ripr.trade/explore) is where you write your own: it filters Solana coins by trading venue and by launchpad, with range filters for market cap, liquidity and age, and a set of sorts on top. A screen that holds up across market moods usually looks like this. 1. Sort by volume or trade count rather than by price change alone, because a 300% move on a pool worth a few hundred dollars is noise. 2. Set a liquidity floor you could sell back into without moving the price yourself. 3. Keep a market-cap band so you are comparing coins at a similar stage. Sorting by market cap carries a floor of its own on ripr. Unless you set your own bounds, coins under $5,000 of liquidity or with fewer than a hundred holders stay out of that sort, which keeps hollow shells off the top of the screen. [Meme coins](https://ripr.trade/category/memes) are also a category in their own right, alongside themes like DeFi and gaming, when you want to stay inside one corner of the market. Some of those labels are applied automatically, so treat a category as a starting point rather than a verdict. ## Track trending coins without staring at the list Nobody holds a live list in their head all day. Put the names that survived your check on a watchlist in Explore and let ripr do the watching: price alerts and launch alerts are among its notification types, and pushes are capped per hour so your phone stays usable. On iPhone and Android there is a wider lens. Narratives group coins that share a theme word in their name or ticker, track each group as an index, and label it Hot, Rising or Cooling. Follow one and ripr sends you a notification when it turns Hot or moves sharply. Attention in this market tends to arrive in clusters rather than one coin at a time, so a theme turning Hot is a useful hint about where to look next. ## Buying a trending coin on ripr Buying something already in motion is where the list stops helping and your own discipline takes over. The mechanics are short. Open the coin, tap Buy, set your size and confirm. ripr's **Auto slippage** sets your maximum slippage from how much the coin moved over the last five minutes, between 3% and 15%, and you can set a number yourself instead. Slippage is simply the worst price you agree to accept, and a fast coin moves between your tap and the block, which is why a very tight number can leave the trade unfilled. The help centre has more on [setting slippage](https://ripr.trade/support/what-is-slippage-and-how-should-i-set-it). Before your wallet signs, ripr checks the prepared transaction on your device against the amount and slippage you chose, and refuses it if anything differs — a check on the transaction you are signing, not on the coin itself. If you are new to the app, signing up creates a Solana wallet alongside your account, so there is nothing separate to install before your first trade. Keep a little SOL spare either way, since every Solana transaction costs a small network fee. Then size the thing properly. Trending means attention, and attention leaves as fast as it came, so a first buy should be an amount you would shrug at losing. The help centre is direct about the rest: [trade more safely](https://ripr.trade/support/how-can-i-trade-more-safely) by ignoring anyone who promises you a certain outcome, because nobody can promise one. Trending answers one question honestly and completely: what is busy right now. Everything else about a coin is on its page, and ten minutes there is cheap compared with the alternative. Open [Trending](https://ripr.trade/?tab=trending) on ripr, read the top few names properly, and let the ones that don't survive the check go without you. --- *Last verified 2 November 2026.
