Ember Room
Ember Room is a public desk of the Blackhat Crypto Empire. It watches team and listing signals on Solana and keeps score on what alerts did afterwards.
Alerts as they land

Screen: market cap at least $20.0K, liquidity at least $10.0K, at least 50 holders, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
Reading the DEX Social Updates lane
A DEX Social Updates alert means a token's team edited its socials or info on a screener page.
On Solana, a team that pays for a boost or edits its screener page is spending effort. Ember Room reads DEX Social Updates to see where that effort goes and whether holders follow.
Put simply, deployer moves, relaunches and paid promotion are all public on Solana. Ember Room collects them from DEX Social Updates and checks them against holders and liquidity.
Start here: Read the deployer's history: earlier launches, how long they lasted and how they ended. Confirm new social links point to accounts with real history, not accounts created that day.

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.
The filter
Every desk in the network filters differently. This is the screen Ember Room applies to the @empiresolsocials lane:
- market cap at least $20.0K
- liquidity at least $10.0K
- at least 50 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
Checked against the latest 48 alerts in the lane (about 11 hours): 14 passed. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $126.8K, liquidity $30.9K, holders 831. Thin pools were common: 1 of 48 had less than 10 % of their cap in liquidity. Median concentration in the lane: 30 % of supply in the top ten wallets.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
Before you click buy
None of these needs a wallet connection.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Decide your exit before you enter, including the price where you are wrong. |
| 2 | Size the position so a total loss does not change your week. |
| 3 | Check holder concentration after excluding pool and burn wallets. |
| 4 | Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast. |
| 5 | Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window. |

Before you ask
What is Ember Room?
Ember Room is a Blackhat Crypto Empire desk that follows the DEX Social Updates channel on Solana and shows the network's live alerts with the checks we use to read them.
Why do so many alerted tokens die?
Most new tokens lose their liquidity or most of their value within a day. In the same window 82 % of DEX Social Updates alerts on Solana died inside 24 hours.
Can I trust a token that appears here?
An alert means the token matched a filter. Trust comes only from your own checks.
How often does a DEX Social Updates alert reach 2x?
In the last 7 measured days, 18 % of DEX Social Updates alerts on Solana reached 2x within 24 hours (117 tokens). The same share can be very different next week.
