Degen Table
Summary. Follow on-chain buying on Solana without the noise. Degen Table pairs every live alert with the questions to ask before you act.
1. Latest Solana prints
Loading live CEX-Funded Buys alerts…
Screen: market cap at least $10.0K, liquidity at least $5.0K, at least 250 holders, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
2. What this desk watches
A CEX-Funded Buys alert means wallets funded straight from an exchange bought in.
For Degen Table, wallet alerts show what money did, which is harder to fake than a post. Degen Table follows CEX-Funded Buys on Solana and asks whose wallets they are and what they did before.
Degen Table reads on-chain buying as evidence, with limits. One wallet can split into ten; a fresh wallet can belong to the deployer. The checks below cover both cases.
Quick test: Check whether several buying wallets were funded from one source a few minutes earlier. Compare the buy size with pool liquidity; a buy that moves price far is also hard to exit.
3. Get the alerts on Telegram
Degen Table does not post alerts itself; these Telegram routes do.

6. Our method
Degen Table runs these checks on each CEX-Funded Buys alert.
- Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets.
- Copy the full contract address from the alert, never the ticker.
- Search the contract in the Empire Telegram network to see other alerts on it.
- Look again after an hour, because early data on thin tokens shifts quickly.
- Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy.
7. Screening rule
The rule behind this page. Degen Table keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $10.0K
- liquidity at least $5.0K
- at least 250 holders
- top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %
In the 31 most recent lane alerts at build time (about 3 days), 10 passed this screen. Those that passed had a median market cap of $1.20M, median liquidity of $210.3K and about 1891 holders. 5 of the 31 lane alerts had liquidity below a tenth of their market cap, which makes exits expensive. The median top-10 holder share across the lane was 22 %.
Values measured on 2026-09-23 from the Empire feed. The screen is a filter, not a recommendation.
8. Dated examples from the network

What is Degen Table?
It is one of the Empire's public desks. It watches CEX-Funded Buys alerts on Solana, prints them live and explains how to check each one.
What does the chart link do?
It opens a GMGN chart. The link includes our referral code, which can pay the publisher a commission.
Is Degen Table financial advice?
No. Alerts are observations from public data. Every token here can lose all of its value, and you decide what to do with the information.

An alert means the token matched a filter. Trust comes only from your own checks.
