What a CEX-Funded Buys alert means
A CEX-Funded Buys alert means wallets funded straight from an exchange bought in.
A buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. Arcade Book uses the CEX-Funded Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.
Arcade Book reads on-chain buying as evidence, with limits. One wallet can split into ten; a fresh wallet can belong to the deployer. The checks below cover both cases.
Start here: Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier. Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy.

Glossary
- Rug pull
- An exit by insiders that leaves holders unable to sell at any fair price.
- Market cap
- Price multiplied by circulating supply; on new tokens it can change several times in an hour.
- Graduation
- When a token leaves its launchpad curve and starts trading in an open pool.
- Contract address
- The unique on-chain identifier of a token; always verify it instead of the ticker.
What passes here
Every desk in the network filters differently. This is the screen Arcade Book applies to the @empiresolcexbuys lane:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 50 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 40 %
Checked against the latest 31 alerts in the lane (about 3 days): 19 passed. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $805.7K, liquidity $139.9K, holders 696.

How we read a contract
Ten minutes, before any money moves.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Copy the full contract address from the alert, never the ticker. |
| 2 | Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth. |
| 3 | Open the deployer wallet and read its earlier launches. |
| 4 | Read the top ten holders and remove pools and burn addresses from the count. |
| 5 | Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet. |
| 6 | Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size. |
