# Exploring Solscan Token Leaderboard

The Solscan Token Leaderboard helps users discover Solana tokens, compare trading activity, and explore token categories. With dedicated category, Trending, and New views, users can narrow their research using trading metrics, multiple timeframes, and filters.

## Locate the Leaderboard

![Select Leaderboard - Token on Solscan homepage to access Token Leaderboard](https://info.solscan.io/exploring-token-leaderboard/images/2026/10/KB-Token-leaderboard-01.png)

Select Leaderboard - Token on Solscan homepage to access Token Leaderboard

To access the Token Leaderboard:

1.  Open Solscan.
2.  Select **Leaderboards → Token** from the navigation menu.

Alternatively, visit the [Solscan Token Leaderboard](https://solscan.io/leaderboard/token) directly.

## Leaderboard Tabs

The leaderboard offers three main views: **Tokens by category**, **Trending**, and **New**.

### Tokens by Category

Explore tokens within categories such as **DeFi, Liquid Stake, Stablecoin, Meme, and Stocks**. Selecting a category displays its listed tokens, allowing you to compare their individual metrics.

![Categories-based Token Tab](https://info.solscan.io/exploring-token-leaderboard/images/2026/10/KB-Token-leaderboard-02.png)

Categories-based Token Tab

Each category also provides an overview of aggregate **market cap, volume, trade count, trader count, and holder count**. These totals cover only tokens included in the leaderboard within that category. Trader and holder totals should be read as aggregated token-level counts, rather than unique addresses across the category.

The overview updates with the selected timeframe, helping users compare category activity over different periods.

### Trending

The **Trending** tab brings trending tokens into a dedicated view. Use the trading metrics to examine their volume, trade count, trader participation, and liquidity, then apply filters or sorting to focus on tokens that match your criteria.

## Token Metrics

Each row represents a token. The table provides the following information:

Column

Description

**Token**

The token’s name and symbol. Select it to open its Token Details page.

**Price**

The token’s latest available market price.

**No. Trade**

The number of trades during the selected timeframe.

**No. Trader**

The trader count during the selected timeframe.

**Volume**

The trading volume during the selected timeframe.

**Buy/Sell**

A breakdown of buy and sell volume, including their values and percentage shares.

**Market Cap (F.D)**

**Liquidity**

**Holders**

Trade count, trader count, and volume follow the selected observation period, shown in their column headings. For example, selecting **30M** displays these metrics for the 30-minute window.

## Timeframes, Filters, and Sorting

### Select a Timeframe

Choose **30M, 1H, 4H, or 1D** to view trading activity over different periods. Shorter windows help users examine recent activity, while longer windows provide broader context.

The selected timeframe applies to the table’s trading metrics and the category overview’s activity metrics.

![Timeframe Filter](https://info.solscan.io/exploring-token-leaderboard/images/2026/10/KB-Token-leaderboard-06.png)

Timeframe Filter

### Apply Filters

Select **Filter** to narrow the list using available conditions, including volume, liquidity, market cap, holders, and trade or trader counts.

The trade-count and trader-count filters are labeled **24H**. These conditions use 24-hour activity, even when the table displays a shorter observation period.

![Advanced Filters](https://info.solscan.io/exploring-token-leaderboard/images/2026/10/KB-Token-leaderboard-07.png)

Advanced Filters

In the **New** tab, use the additional **Platform** filter to focus on tokens associated with a particular platform.
