CL Frens
Summary. CL Frens reads the Big Buys channel so you can see each alert in context: live data, measured outcomes, and a plain checklist.
1. Latest Solana prints
Loading live Big Buys alerts…
Screen: market cap at least $10.0K, liquidity at least $10.0K, at least 250 holders, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
2. Reading the Big Buys lane
A Big Buys alert means a large single purchase hit the token.
CL Frens 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.
A buy is a fact. The reason behind it is a guess. CL Frens uses the Big Buys channel for the facts and keeps the guessing for later.
First look: Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit. Open the buying wallet and read its last twenty trades before trusting the buy.
3. How CL Frens filters
The rule behind this page. CL Frens keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $10.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 250 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
In the 27 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 4 hours), 11 passed this screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $6.18M, median liquidity of $533.1K and about 5343 holders. 10 out of 27 alerts showed a pool smaller than a tenth of the cap — a warning sign on its own. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 24 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
4. Our method
None of these needs a wallet connection.
Step 1
Look at what the creator address launched before and how those ended.
Step 2
Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet.
Step 3
Try a small sell early; some tokens restrict selling.
Step 4
Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is.
Step 5
Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth.
Step 6
Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets.
5. Terms used here
- Dev wallet
- The creator address and the supply it still controls.
- Market cap
- Price multiplied by circulating supply; on new tokens it can change several times in an hour.
- Freeze authority
- Permission to lock holders' balances.
- Bundle
- A group of wallets that buy in the same block at launch, often controlled by one party.

Picked from the network's dated XTRACK outcome reports. A market-cap multiple is not a trading profit, and most alerted tokens did far worse.

11. Questions
What is CL Frens?
It is one of the Empire's public desks. It watches Big Buys alerts on Solana, prints them live and explains how to check each one.
What does the chart link do?
It opens the token on GMGN. Chart links carry the publisher's referral code, so the network may earn a commission if you trade there.
Is CL Frens financial advice?
No. The desk shows data and a checking method. It does not recommend buying or selling anything.
What does 'dead' mean on the scoreboard?
Dead means -80 % from the alert market cap, a cap under $5K, or a drained pool.
