How to Use CIPHER: The Complete Guide
CIPHER is a free meme coin intelligence platform that helps you track live coin data, get AI-powered analysis, and detect scams before you invest. No signup required, no fees, no paywalls. This guide walks you through every feature.
The Scanner — Live Meme Coin Tracker
The Scanner is CIPHER's main dashboard. It tracks over 250 meme coins in real time, pulling live data from CoinGecko including price, 24-hour change, market cap, and trading volume.
step 1 — browse the scanner
When you open ciphersignal.xyz, the Scanner loads automatically. You'll see a table of meme coins ranked by viral potential by default. Each coin shows its 24h price change, market cap, volume, hype level, risk rating, and sentiment.
step 2 — filter and search
Use the filter buttons at the top to narrow your view. You can filter by Bullish (coins with positive sentiment), Bearish (negative sentiment), or High Rug Risk (coins flagged as potentially dangerous). The search bar lets you find any specific coin by name or ticker symbol.
step 3 — sort the data
Click any column header to sort. Click again to reverse the sort order. Sort by 24h change to find the biggest movers, by viral to see what's trending, or by rug risk to spot the most dangerous coins.
Coin Profiles — Deep Dive on Any Coin
Click on any coin in the Scanner to expand its full profile. This gives you a detailed breakdown of the coin including scores, contract information, and action buttons.
What the scores mean
- 🔥 Hype Level (Low / Medium / High): How much buzz this coin has right now. High hype means people are talking about it on social media, volume is spiking relative to market cap, and momentum is building. This doesn't mean the coin is good — just that it's getting attention.
- 📊 Mood (Bearish / Neutral / Bullish): The overall market sentiment based on recent price action. Bullish means buyers are in control, Bearish means sellers are dominating, and Neutral means the price is relatively flat.
- ⚠️ Risk Level (Lower / Medium / High): An estimate of how risky this coin is based on its market cap, volatility, and other factors. Smaller market cap coins with wild price swings are rated higher risk. This is not a guarantee — always do your own research.
Contract Info
When you click a coin, CIPHER fetches real contract data from CoinGecko. If available, you'll see the blockchain it's on (Ethereum, BSC, Base, or Solana), the contract address with a copy button, community score, and liquidity score. This data is cached so it loads instantly on repeat views.
Action Buttons
- AI Decrypt: Jumps to the AI analysis tab with this coin pre-selected.
- CoinGecko: Opens the coin's official CoinGecko page for verified data.
- Check Honeypot: Automatically takes the contract address to CipherPot and scans it. Only available when contract data is found.
- Refresh Data: Reloads the latest coin data from CoinGecko.
AI Decrypt — Instant AI Analysis
AI Decrypt gives you a fast, unfiltered read on any meme coin. It analyzes the coin's price movement, viral potential, and risk level, then delivers a verdict: SEND IT, WAIT, or NGMI.
option 1 — select from dropdown
Choose any coin from the dropdown menu (1,000+ coins available) and click "Decrypt Coin." The AI analysis takes about 10 seconds to generate.
option 2 — search by name or contract address
Can't find your coin in the dropdown? Use the search bar below it. You can type any coin name (like "pepe" or "bonk") or paste a contract address from any chain. CIPHER will look it up on CoinGecko and run the analysis.
After the analysis completes, you'll also see a CoinGecko link to verify the token, a CipherPot scan button, and the contract address (if available) with a copy button.
Note: AI Decrypt's analysis is based on quantitative data like price change, volume, and market cap. It does not analyze the token's smart contract code. For contract safety, always use CipherPot as well.
CipherPot 🍯 — Honeypot & Rug Detector
CipherPot is CIPHER's contract scanner. It checks any token for honeypots, rug pull signals, buy/sell taxes, and more. It supports four networks: Ethereum, BSC (Binance Smart Chain), Base, and Solana.
how to scan a contract
