Checks before any trade
Run these on every contract, in this order.
- Confirm on the chart which pool the price comes from and how deep it is.
- Open the deployer wallet and read its earlier launches.
- Set volume against pool depth and new holders over the same window.
- Confirm the token cannot be minted again or frozen in your wallet.
- Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets.
- Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy.

Screen: market cap at least $20.0K, top-10 wallets holding at most 40 %. Charts open on GMGN.
The lane
A CTO alert means holders relaunched a project the deployer abandoned.
For Obsidian Room, project signals show what the people behind a token are doing: paying for promotion, updating links, relaunching or moving supply. Obsidian Room follows CTO on Solana for those actions.
Put simply, deployer moves, relaunches and paid promotion are all public on Solana. Obsidian Room collects them from CTO and checks them against holders and liquidity.
One habit: Confirm new social links point to accounts with real history, not accounts created that day. Read the deployer's history: earlier launches, how long they lasted and how they ended.
Where the alerts post
Obsidian Room does not post alerts itself; these Telegram routes do.

The desk's screen
The rule behind this page. Obsidian Room keeps an alert only if it passes all of these:
- market cap at least $20.0K
- top-10 wallets holding at most 40 %
At build time the lane held 48 recent alerts covering about 11 hours; 47 of them cleared the screen. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $43.5K, liquidity $20.5K, holders 195. No alert in the sample had a pool smaller than 10 % of its cap. Median concentration in the lane: 25 % 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.
