Screen: market cap at least $50.0K, liquidity at least $5.0K, at least 50 holders, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
Why Entity Radar
A Entity Radar alert means addresses the network groups as one entity became active.
In short: a team that pays for a boost or edits its screener page is spending effort. Cook Tape reads Entity Radar to see where that effort goes and whether holders follow.
Deployer moves, relaunches and paid promotion are all public on Solana. Cook Tape collects them from Entity Radar and checks them against holders and liquidity.
One habit: Check who paid for the boost and whether the same wallet holds supply. Read the deployer's history: earlier launches, how long they lasted and how they ended.
Past alerts, dated
| Token | Chain | First alert cap | Tracked cap | Multiple | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BLUEHOUSE | SOL | $39K | $747K | 19x | 2026-08-29 |
| MAGNET | SOL | $42K | $846K | 20x | 2026-09-10 |
| PICKLES | Robinhood | $21K | $1200K | 58x | 2026-09-01 |
| RSRV | Robinhood | $88K | $1600K | 18x | 2026-09-06 |
Selected dated examples from XTRACK reports: multiple = tracked market cap at the report date divided by the market cap at first alert. These are not typical results and not realised profits.
The checklist
None of these needs a wallet connection.
Step 1
Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast.
Step 2
Look at what the creator address launched before and how those ended.
Step 3
Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets.
Step 4
Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy.
Step 5
Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size.
Step 6
Compare volume with liquidity and holder growth.

What passes here
Every desk in the network filters differently. This is the screen Cook Tape applies to the @empireradar lane:
- market cap at least $50.0K
- liquidity at least $5.0K
- at least 50 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
At build time the lane held 37 recent alerts covering about 7 days; 6 of them cleared the screen. The passing group sat at a median $287.8K cap with $44.8K in the pool and roughly 2180 holders. 6 of the 37 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. 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.

Common questions
What is Cook Tape?
It is one of the Empire's public desks. It watches Entity Radar alerts on Solana, prints them live and explains how to check each one.
Does Cook Tape hold or sell tokens it shows?
No. The page publishes alerts and methods; it does not run positions or sell placements.
What does 'dead' mean on the scoreboard?
Dead means -80 % from the alert market cap, a cap under $5K, or a drained pool.
Can I trust a token that appears here?
No token earns trust by appearing in an alert. Run the checks on this page on every contract, every time.
