General filters

The **General** category includes two main subcategories: **Main** and **Price-Related** filters. These filters enable you to extract tokens based on fundamental criteria, allowing you to narrow down your selection efficiently. Let's explore each filter in more detail. ## Blokiments Score This is the primary score that consolidates all token metrics into a single value, ranging from 0 to 100 (with higher values being better). For a detailed explanation, refer to the [**Scores** section](/features/discovery-hub/filters-guide/our-scores.md). This filter is also **sortable**, meaning you can sort the token results based on their **Blokiments Score** for easier comparison and analysis.

## DEX Name
What is a DEX? A **DEX**, or **Decentralized Exchange**, is a place where people can trade cryptocurrencies **directly with each other** without needing a middleman like a bank or a traditional exchange. Instead of a company holding your money, a DEX runs on blockchain technology using **smart contracts**, which automatically match and process trades. You stay in control of your crypto the whole time. In short, a DEX allows you to swap cryptocurrencies with others directly and securely, utilizing **blockchain technology.**
In the decentralized world of blockchain, most trading occurs on decentralized exchanges, commonly referred to as **DEXes**. To trade any token created on a blockchain, that token must be listed on a decentralized exchange (DEX). Each blockchain can have multiple DEXes, and it's common for a single token to be traded across several of them. At **Blokiments**, we aggregate token data based on **DEX pools**. This filter allows you to extract only those tokens that are traded on a specific DEX. For example, if you want to see only tokens available on **Uniswap V3**, you can set the filter to `UniswapV3`. We support numerous DEXs across various blockchains, and our list is regularly updated. You can view the full list of supported decentralized exchanges (DEXes) [here](/roadmap-and-releases/supported-networks.md#supported-dexes). You can apply multiple `=` filters in a single query, and the same applies to the `!=` operator. However, the `=` and `!=` operators **cannot** be used together in the same query. When multiple filters are applied, they are treated as **OR** conditions β€” meaning the token only needs to match **one** of the specified criteria.

## Pair/Token Age in Days When researching tokens to trade, it's very common to filter by **token age** or **pair age**. These filters can be helpful in different scenarios: * If your strategy is to **"ape in" on early-launched tokens, you can use the filter to show only tokens created within** the last 5 days, for example. * If you prefer a **less risky** trading approach, consider looking for tokens that are older than 30 days. {% hint style="warning" %} **Note:** Trading newly launched tokens can be extremely risky. Over **95% of all rug pulls occur within the first day** after a token is launched. {% endhint %}
πŸŽ“ What is the difference between a token and a pool (pair)? A token is a digital asset issued on a blockchain, often following standards like ERC-20 on Ethereum. It represents a unit of value or utility. Its creation is an independent event that defines its supply and functionality. A liquidity pool (or pair) is a smart contract that enables decentralized trading by holding reserves of two tokens, typically the token in question and a base asset (like WETH, SOL or a stablecoin). These pools use Automated Market Maker (AMM) algorithms to facilitate swaps and provide liquidity. To draw an analogy, consider a token as an independently manufactured product. Liquidity pools are like different retail outlets where the product is sold. Here are the key points: * Multiple Pairings: A single token can be paired with various other tokens across different liquidity pools. Each pool acts as an independent market with its own liquidity depth, trading volume, and fee structure. * Sequence of Creation: The token must be deployed to the blockchain before creating any liquidity pool. In practice, liquidity pools can be launched much later than the token, allowing for evolving market opportunities. * Trading Dependency: Without an active liquidity pool, there is no mechanism for price discovery or trade execution. A token cannot be traded if it isn’t paired in a liquidity pool.
We offer **two separate filters**: * **Token Age**: Tracks how long ago the token itself was created. * **Pair Age**: Tracks how long ago the trading pair (pool) was created. These are not always the same β€” it's common for a trading pair to be launched days or even weeks after the token is created. If you're looking to discover **new projects**, filtering by **token age** is usually the better choice. The age metrics measure the number of full days since creation: * If a pair was created on September 1st and today is September 10th, the **pair age** will be **9 days** (counting full days passed). * If a token was created within the **last 24 hours**, its **token age** will be **0**. * If it was created between **24 and 48 hours ago**, the age will be **1**, and so on. These filters enable you to target tokens that align with your risk profile and trading strategy. {% hint style="info" %} The filter can also be used as a sort value. {% endhint %}

## Price change in % This filter allows you to find tokens based on their **percentage price movement** over a specific time frame. 1. Enter the percentage threshold for the filter (e.g. `40` to filter tokens that moved 40% or more, depending on the operator you selected.) 2. Define the period over which the price change is measured. The available options are: 30d, 7d, 1d, 12h, 4h, 1h.
When you add **multiple filters**, they are evaluated using **AND logic**. This means that **all conditions must be true** for a token to appear in the results. For example, if you apply: 1. **Price Change β‰₯ 40% (1d)** 2. **Price Change ≀ 10% (12h)** Only tokens that satisfy **both conditions** β€” 40%+ change in the last 24 hours **and** no more than 10% change in the last 12 hours β€” will be included. ## Price trend If you don’t want to deal with exact percentage movements every time, you can use the **Price Trend** filter instead. In the background, we continuously calculate the trend for each token in real-time, classifying it as an uptrend, a sideways trend, or a downtrend. This gives you a quick way to assess the overall direction of a token's price without needing to set specific percentage thresholds. We currently support trend analysis over three time frames: * **1 day (1d)** * **7 days (7d)** * **30 days (30d)** For example, you can easily filter for tokens that have been in an **uptrend over the last 7 days**, making it easier to spot momentum without manual calculations.

## Example This [example is configured](https://blokiments.com/s/0dbac572) to find **Solana-based tokens** that meet all of the following conditions: 1. **🟠 Blokiments Score β‰₯ 40** * Only includes tokens with a **Blokiments Score of 40 or higher**, indicating stronger fundamentals based on our internal metrics. 2. **🟠 DEX Name = PumpSwap AMM** * Filters for tokens that are **traded specifically on PumpSwap AMM**. 3. **🟠 Token Age β‰₯ 3 days** * Ensures tokens are **at least 3 days old**, avoiding newly launched tokens that may carry higher risk. 4. **🟠 Token Age ≀ 30 days** * Limits results to **tokens no older than 30 days**, focusing on relatively new projects. 5. **🟠 Price Change (1d) β‰₯ 40%** * Includes only tokens that have experienced a **price increase of 40% or more in the last 24 hours**, highlighting strong short-term momentum. 6. **🟠 Price Trend = Uptrend (7d)** * Filters for tokens that have shown a consistent **uptrend over the past 7 days**, according to our trend analysis model.
