- Daily scan: Every day at 00:00 UTC, we pull top 100 tokens by volume from CoinGecko.
- Score each component: For each token, we normalize each of the 5 components to 0–100 scale using rolling 30-day baselines.
- Apply weights: Multiply each component by its weight and sum to get the final Alpha Score.
- Rank & publish: Rank all tokens by score, publish top 20 to Alpha Scanner, store historical data for backtesting.
- Quality gate: Tokens must have >$100K 24h volume + >$1M liquidity to qualify (spam filter).
This means if a token appears on our Alpha Scanner ranking, there's a ~2 in 3 chance it's a genuine alpha opportunity. We publish confidence intervals (lower/upper bounds) to help you assess risk.
