Is your project getting used, or just watched?
Attention is easy to rent. Adoption is what keeps a project alive. Paste a token name, symbol or contract address and see the gap between the two, scored on free public on-chain data.
Works with any listed token, or paste a contract address for brand-new tokens on most EVM chains and Solana.

Attention signals
Adoption signals
What we'd do first
Directional heuristic on public data (GeckoTerminal, DexScreener, X). Not financial or investment advice.
Why attention without adoption kills projects
A trending cashtag and a full Telegram feel like winning. But if the volume, transactions and holders underneath aren't moving, that attention is rented, not owned. When the campaign stops, so does everything else. This tool separates the two so you can see which one you actually have, and where the work needs to go.
How the score works
No black box. The score is a transparent, directional read on public data, built the way we look at a project before a growth engagement.
Attention
Watchlist users (weighted heaviest), positive sentiment and market-cap rank. It measures how many eyeballs and how much interest a project has right now.
Adoption
24h volume relative to market cap (turnover), on-chain transaction count and liquidity depth. It measures real economic usage, not hype.
The gap
Attention minus adoption. A large positive gap flags the vanity-metrics trap: lots of interest, little real usage. A negative gap means real usage the market hasn't noticed yet.
The data
CoinGecko for market and community signals, DexScreener for on-chain liquidity and transactions. All public, all free, no private data.
Adoption Check FAQ
What is the difference between attention and adoption?
Attention is how many people are watching a project: watchlist users, sentiment and market visibility. Adoption is how many people actually use or trade it: real 24h volume relative to market cap, on-chain transaction count and liquidity depth. A project can have huge attention and almost no adoption, which is the trap this tool surfaces.
Where does the data come from?
Public, free sources: CoinGecko for market and community data, and DexScreener for on-chain liquidity and transaction counts. No private data and no paid APIs. The scores are a transparent, directional heuristic, not financial advice.
Is this financial or investment advice?
No. The Adoption Check is a marketing diagnostic for founders and teams. It does not tell you whether to buy, sell or hold anything. It only shows where a project sits on the attention-versus-adoption axis.
Can I check a brand-new token that isn't on CoinGecko?
Yes. Paste the contract address and the tool reads on-chain activity from DexScreener across most EVM chains and Solana. Attention signals may be limited for very new tokens, which the report makes clear.
How is the gap score calculated?
Attention combines watchlist users, sentiment and market-cap rank. Adoption combines volume-to-market-cap turnover, 24h transaction count and liquidity depth. The gap is attention minus adoption: a high positive gap means lots of interest but weak real usage.
