How to Get Trending on Nad.fun / Monad in 2026

What Makes a Token Trend on Nad.fun?

A token trends on Nad.fun and Monad when it has enough trading volume and transactions to climb DexScreener, which ranks tokens by exactly those two signals. Once a Nad.fun token graduates into a tradeable liquidity pool, its pair against MON is indexed at dexscreener.com/monad under dexId “nad-fun”, where 24h volume, market cap, and transaction count are all on display. In short: on Monad, volume and trade count are the ranking algorithm, and a token with neither is invisible.

There is one more thing working in your favor: the new-chain window. Monad went live on mainnet November 24, 2025, so as of July 2026 far fewer tokens compete for the trending board than fight over Solana’s on any given day. The same volume effort that would disappear into the noise on pump.fun can put you at the top of a young chain’s feed.

The Signals That Rank You

1. Volume — total on-chain trading value through your graduated token’s liquidity pool. DexScreener exposes it directly and lets buyers sort Monad tokens by it.
2. Transaction count — the number of distinct trades. This is why distributed activity beats a few large swaps, and why a steady stream of trades keeps you ranked.
3. Recency — recent activity keeps you on the board; a token that stops trading slides off it.

How to Get Trending on Nad.fun (Step by Step)

Here is the full playbook, from launch to a sustained trending position. The volume steps take about two minutes to set up with OpenLiquid, a Telegram-based crypto volume bot that supports Monad and 10 other chains across 20 DEXs.

1. Launch or use a graduated token. Launch on Nad.fun (nad.fun) — the token trades on a bonding curve and graduates into a tradeable liquidity pool at roughly 225,000 MON once about 80% of supply is sold — or use an already-graduated token with a live pool. Confirm the contract on MonadVision (monadvision.com).
2. Seed initial trading awareness. Early trades get your graduated pair indexed on dexscreener.com/monad, quoted against MON. The chart needs to exist before volume can rank it.
3. Generate sustained 24h volume. The board shows 24h volume, so a session that runs through the day beats a burst. Open OpenLiquid, select Monad, paste your contract address, and the bot auto-detects your pool.
4. Spread trades across wallets and randomize. Set min swap, max swap, and trade delay. OpenLiquid distributes randomized swaps across multiple wallets, which raises transaction count and keeps the activity organic-looking.
5. Monitor on DexScreener. Watch your rank and chart at dexscreener.com/monad; verify any individual swap on MonadVision.
6. Maintain momentum. Recency is part of the game. Keep sessions running through your target window — your cost stays a flat 1% of target volume no matter how many transactions the session takes, since OpenLiquid covers the gas.

Common Mistakes That Keep Tokens Off Trending

• One big buy, then silence — recency and transaction count both drop off. Sustain it across the 24h window the board displays.
• All volume in one wallet — looks botted to scanners and adds few transactions. Distribute and randomize it.
• Running a 20-minute session — trending is about staying visible for hours, not minutes, especially on a board that rewards continuous activity.
• Trying to boost a pre-graduation token — pool-based volume needs a graduated token with a tradeable pool. Let the bonding curve graduate first, then generate volume through the pool.
