This lesson covers what Terminal is, the discovery tools it offers, and most importantly, how to read its safety indicators before you trade. + +### Terminal vs Jupiter Swap + +You may already know [Jupiter Swap](/lessons/jupiter-swap), Jupiter's general-purpose token exchange. Terminal is different: it's a **discovery and intelligence layer** built on top of the same routing engine, but designed specifically for memecoin trading where seconds matter. + +Where Swap is a single form for any token-to-token trade, Terminal adds: + +* Real-time discovery feeds organized by theme (trending, organic activity, new launches) +* A launchpad screener for tokens that haven't yet hit a standard liquidity pool +* Safety indicators on every token +* Quick Buy / Quick Swap for one-click execution from any list +* Integrated PnL tracking across your holdings + +Terminal was originally launched in 2024 as **Ape Pro**, and was later merged into the main Jupiter platform. + +### The Discover Feed + +The default landing view is **Discover**, which has several sub-tabs to filter what you see: + +* **Cooking**, tokens currently gaining momentum.

A **Quick Buy** button on every row lets you purchase directly from the list using your saved settings. + +### The Organic Score + +Memecoin markets are flooded with bots, wash trading, and pump-and-dump activity. To help you separate signal from noise, Jupiter calculates an **Organic Score** for each token via [Jupiter VRFD](/lessons/jupiter-vrfd). The Organic Score acts as a heuristic that estimates how much of a token's activity comes from genuine wallets versus automated trading. + +Higher Organic Score means more real activity. The Organic sub-tab in Discover lets you sort the entire feed by this metric, surfacing tokens that look like they have actual community traction. Important: Organic Score is a heuristic, not a guarantee. Sophisticated bot networks can still inflate it. + +### AlphaScan: Tracking the Token Lifecycle + +Most memecoins on Solana follow a predictable lifecycle. They launch on a **launchpad** with a **bonding curve**, a pricing model where the token's price rises automatically as more people buy. Once enough capital flows in, the bonding curve "completes" and the token migrates to a **standard liquidity pool** (an AMM), where price is determined by trading rather than the curve. + +![The three stages of a memecoin's lifecycle on Solana](https://static.academy.jup.ag/images/illustrations/T1_bonding_lifecycle.png) + +**AlphaScan** (jup.ag/terminal/alphascan) is Terminal's screener for this lifecycle, with three columns: + +* **New**, tokens just launched. Maximum volatility, minimum information, very high risk. +* **Soon**, approaching bonding curve completion. The Bonding Curve % near 100% signals migration is close. +* **Bonded**, recently completed the curve and migrated to a standard AMM pool. Liquidity becomes deeper and price impact drops. + +Why this matters: before migration, liquidity is limited and a small buy can move the price significantly. After migration, the token behaves like any other AMM-traded asset. + +### Safety Indicators: The Pre-Trade Checklist + +Every token detail page in Terminal shows a checklist of safety indicators. None of these are guarantees, but they catch the most common red flags. **Always check this list before you click Buy.** + +* **Mint Authority** - whether the token creator can still mint new supply. Should be revoked for a fixed-supply token. +* **Freeze Authority** - whether the creator can freeze trading on individual wallets. Should be revoked. +* **Top 10 Holders %** - how much of the supply the top ten wallets hold. Ideally below 50%; concentrated holders can dump. +* **Dev Holding %** - what the deployer wallet still holds. High dev holding is a rug-pull risk. +* **DB / DS markers** - developer Buy / developer Sell flags shown when the creator wallet recently bought or sold. DS during a runup is a strong warning. +* **Bonding Curve %** - how close the token is to migration off its launchpad.
