How to Find Similar Tokens

Why copies are a problem

A memecoin that takes off is copied within minutes. Same ticker, same picture, sometimes a near-identical name, each launched hoping to catch buyers who search by ticker. Most copies die quickly, and buying one by mistake is among the most common ways new traders lose money on a coin that, in their view, "went up".

The Similar Tokens panel

On a token page, scroll the side panel below Token Info and the token banner to Similar Tokens. It lists other coins with the same or a closely related name, each with its market cap and how recently it traded. If the coin you opened is the small one and another with the same name is far larger and older, you are probably looking at a copy.

It works the other way too. When a theme catches on, the list shows the family of coins around it, and the one leading the trend is usually obvious from market cap and trading activity.

OG Mode in search

The search box has two toggles above it. OG Mode sorts results to put the oldest coins with the highest market caps first. Axiom's docs explain why: in memecoin markets the original version of a name often gets the attention when that name trends again. Pump Only limits results to coins from pump.fun. Search by ticker with OG Mode on, and the coin at the top is the one others are copying.

A ten-second routine

1. Get the contract address from the project's own X account or site.
2. Search it, and check the ticker and picture match.
3. Glance at Similar Tokens for a bigger, older coin of the same name.
4. If one exists, ask why you are buying the smaller one.

The holder numbers on the page tell you the rest; see How to Read Holder, Dev and Bundle Data. The token scanner page covers the wider safety checks.
