3 months back, Alex launched @clanker. @0xpuneet and I, like many of you, got pulled into the trenches.

We did get curious—how’s everyone else trading on @base? Thanks to some kind folks on the purple app, here’s what we learned. 

A post for folks who prefer long form. A 🧵 with the highlights

maybe not surprising, @interface by far is the leading way through which people of farcaster find alpha. 

what surprised me though. Airdrops. Turns out, quite a few got an airdrop, liked what they saw, and bought more.

Vetting Tokens. 

Dexscreener was the most cited tool. People also used bubblemaps and tokensniffer for basic checks.

Apeing In. 

Once you have spotted alpha, you want to close the buy as soon as you can. This though remains a high friction step. People use telegram bots such as sigma and banana as a workaround. 

Many folks also shared Matcha as their preferred DEX Aggregator.

Making the exit. 

Laddered selling is the go-to strategy for many. As prices climbed, people tae profits—first their initial investment, then chunks along the way. Some always left out a small bag, just in case it went parabolic.

Many pointed out the lack of tooling, forcing them to track positions manually or rely on alert services from platforms like Dexscreener to time their exits. Providing liquidity into an LP was a workaround that a few folks mentioned they use to lock in profits as prices rose.

Something important that a few folks mentioned and hit hard. Mastering the exit is a mind game. 

When your bag is nuking, hitting sell feels brutal. When it’s mooning, greed can make you hold for more. 

But the real degen alpha? Knowing when to walk away. 

thank you to these amazing folks for taking the time to share their thoughts.
