Gem hunter

Micro gems under $1M and low caps up to $100M, with security checked before anything else.

Open Gems

What it does

Gem hunter covers two classes of small token. Micro gems are ultra-early tokens under $1M market cap, usually young DEX pairs. Low cap gems run from $1M up to $100M. Above that, an asset belongs to Spot buys.

Each class has its own scoring model because the questions differ. For a micro gem the first questions are whether holders can sell, who owns the supply, whether the activity is real and whether a position could actually be exited. For a low cap, potential, attention, technicals, momentum, liquidity and risk are weighed together.

How it works

  1. Each day’s read screens the universe for viable markets: enough liquidity, volume, transactions and age to be worth reading at all.
  2. Contract security runs first, as a veto. A honeypot, a buy or sell tax of 25% or more, or an owner who can take back ownership removes the token from every generated recommendation. Mintable supply, pausable transfers, blacklist functions, proxy contracts, unverified code and concentrated holders reduce the score instead.
  3. Unknown security is never treated as clean: a micro or low cap gem whose contract could not be checked is capped at 69, one point under green, and tagged Security not checked.
  4. The remaining evidence is scored: holder quality, liquidity quality, organic buyers, acceleration, smart money and more for micro gems; the low-cap model for the rest. Activity is labelled Organic, Mixed, Suspicious or Low activity confidence, as a confidence label, never an accusation.
  5. Gem reports show support, resistance and market structure, found from the token’s own price history, instead of buy or trim zones. They are descriptions of past structure, not buy or sell instructions.
  6. A token that does not clear the quality floor never enters today’s top-rated: a thin day shows fewer gems rather than padding the section.

Why it helps

  • The checks that end most small-cap stories (can you sell, who holds the supply) come before any chart.
  • Micro and low caps are scored by models built for their own class, not one generic score.
  • Missing data is labelled, so a thin read never looks as solid as a fully checked one.

What you’ll see

Opportunity score
Relative quality inside the gem’s own class. A micro score and a low-cap score are not on the same scale.
Micro gem risk
Micro gems use the same score tiers as every other section, but always read Risk: Extreme and sit beside this note: “Micro caps are extremely high risk — most fall in value. The score ranks quality within this class, not the odds of a gain.”
Risk level
Shown separately from the score. Micro gems always read Extreme risk.
Security
Pass, Caution, Reject or not checked, with the reasons listed (for example “supply is mintable” or “top 10 holders own 64%”).
Support, resistance and structure
Zones below and above price where the token turned before, with how many times it turned there, plus trendlines and the last break of structure.
Exchanges
Venues from legitimate venue data, deepest market first. Ambiguous identities get no link.

Costs & limits

  • One micro gem analysis: 1 credit.
  • One low cap analysis: 1 credit.
  • Browsing today’s top-rated micro gems and low-cap gems is free (each section uses its own daily swipes).

Unknown security is not a clean bill of health, and a strong score on limited data needs extra caution. Small caps can lose most or all of their value quickly.
