The LSE Directory / Charting platforms
DEX Screener is a real-time analytics and charting platform for tokens trading on decentralized exchanges (DEXs). It aggregates live price, liquidity, trading volume, transaction counts, and new-pair listings from decentralized exchange pools across a large and growing set of blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, and dozens of newer layer-1 and layer-2 networks; third-party trackers put the count at over 80 chains as of 2026, though the company does not publish an official figure. The product presents this data through TradingView-style candlestick charts, trending and gainers/losers boards, watchlists, and price alerts, accessible free and without an account on web and mobile. The platform specialises in serving on-chain, DEX-native traders rather than centralized-exchange users, with particular strength in surfacing newly created token pairs and memecoin activity the moment liquidity is added to a pool, a use case centralized-exchange-focused terminals do not cover. It differs from data providers like CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap, which aggregate at the asset level across both centralized and decentralized venues, by indexing at the pool and pair level directly from on-chain liquidity, and it differs from blockchain explorers by adding charting, trending, and market-structure tooling on top of raw transaction data. It also publishes a free public HTTP API, rate-limited to 60 requests per minute on most endpoints, covering token profiles, pairs, search, boosts, and orders, used by developers building bots, dashboards, and trading tools. The company was founded in 2021 and is US-based; Andreas Diegues (CEO) and Alexandre Bini (CTO) are named as co-founders in company-data aggregators, though DEX Screener has not published an official team page confirming this, so treat the names as reported rather than company-confirmed. Company-tracking sites list it as unfunded, having not raised external venture rounds. Rather than charging users, DEX Screener monetises through an on-platform marketplace: paid "Enhanced Token Info" packages, listed from roughly 299 to 499 dollars, that let projects add logos, socials, and descriptions to their token pages, a stablecoin-denominated advertising marketplace for banner and takeover placements, and paid "Boosts" that temporarily raise a token's trending score for 12 to 24 hours, with tokens accumulating 500 or more simultaneous boosts unlocking a distinct gold-colored ticker. DEX Screener has become one of the most widely used destinations for tracking new and low-cap token launches during the recurring waves of memecoin trading activity on Solana, Base, and other high-throughput chains, and third-party guides describe it as visited by well over a million traders monthly, though DEX Screener itself does not publish traffic figures.
