The Trade page

6 min read✓

The three lanes (New, Soon, Graduated), creator records, fees paid, signals, the risk chips, the Safer filter, quick buy amounts and pause on hover.

2hour.fun opens soon. These guides explain how everything works once we're open.

The Trade page shows every live coin on Robinhood Chain and Solana in three lanes that update as trades happen. It's made for following launches as they happen and buying in one tap. Nothing on it is a recommendation - it shows what's happening, not what to do.

The three lanes

  • New - coins on their bonding curve that haven't reached 50% of the way to graduating yet, newest launch first. While the launch window is open, new coins appear here the moment they launch. Between windows, New shows the last window's launches, then coins from earlier windows still on the curve. Upcoming in its header lists the launches already reserved for the next window.
  • Soon - coins that have reached 50% of the curve, the one that got there most recently first (or the biggest market cap first - see Display below). A coin stays here until it graduates, even if its price dips back below 50%. Each card says roughly how much is left to raise before the coin graduates.
  • Graduated - coins that finished their curve and now trade in a pool. Sort them by Newest graduated, Trending 1H, Market cap or Volume 1H.

Each coin is in one lane at a time and only ever moves forward by itself: New, then Soon, then Graduated - never back. When a coin graduates while you're watching, its card moves across into Graduated with a short flash (just the flash if your device is set to reduce motion). See How a coin's price works for what the curve and graduation are.

The page itself stays put, like a trading terminal: only each lane's list scrolls. On a phone, the lane on the tab you picked fills the screen.

The toolbar

One row above the lanes, lined up with them: the chains, Pairs and Filters over New, the search over Soon, and your 24h P&L, Display, the Refund pot, Quick buy and the ? over Graduated (with the lanes in their usual order). On a tablet, Display is in Filters. On a phone it's one row of small buttons: the search icon opens the search over the row, the Refund pot, the guide and Display are in Filters, and your balances are a small chip at the end of the row.

  • Robinhood Chain and Solana - the coloured dots show or hide each chain's coins. With both on you see every coin; one always stays on. On a phone it's one button: tap it to go from both chains to Robinhood Chain, Solana and back.
  • Pairs - show only coins paired with one token: ETH, SOL, a stablecoin or a stock token. All pairs shows every coin.
  • Filters - Safer and Rewards coins only, over all three lanes. A number on the button says how many are on.
  • Search - one box for all three lanes: a name, a ticker or an address.
  • 24h - on a computer, when you're signed in: your profit or loss over the last 24 hours, the same figure as your P&L on the leaderboard's 24H. Green when you're up, red when you're down. Tap it for your wallet and positions.
  • Display - the lanes' order (the columns, or the tabs on a phone), Compact or Spaced cards (Compact fits more coins and leaves out the last hour's trades and volume), Soon sorted by Newest in (the coin that most recently reached 50% first) or market cap, whether cards show the risk chips and the creator's record, and New's sound. Kept in this browser; Reset puts it all back.
  • Refund pot - the Refund Bot's pot right now (the gift icon). Tap it to see every win. See The Refund Bot.
  • Quick buy - turns the cards' quick buy buttons on or off and sets your presets. The ? opens the short guide again.

Your balances are in the site's header at the top, as on every page: the ETH and SOL in your trading wallet and, where there's room, what it all comes to. On a phone they're the small chip at the end of the toolbar row instead. Tap them for your wallet: your tokens, your positions, Add funds and Withdraw. Signed out, Connect is in the header instead.

The launch window's countdown is the one in the site's header. Between windows, Upcoming in New's header lists the coins reserved for the next window; Notify me (signed in) puts an alert in your Alerts when one launches, and sends a push too if you've turned push notifications on.

Reading a card

  • Logo and dot - the dot's colour is the coin's chain: lime for Robinhood Chain, purple for Solana.
  • Name, ticker and age - how long ago it launched (s, m, h or d). A brand-new coin's age is highlighted. Where a card is narrow, the ticker is left out rather than cut short.
  • Original - no earlier coin (launched in the week before it, or still trading) used this ticker, name or picture, and later ones copied it.
  • Pair badge - the coin trades against a stock token or stablecoin rather than ETH or SOL. For a stock, the figure beside it (for example +2.1%) is that stock's own move over the last 24 hours, not the coin's. See Paired coins.
  • Links - the coin's X and website when they were added, and a search icon that looks for the ticker or the coin's address on X.
  • Holders - wallets holding the coin.
  • Tx - trades in the last hour, then buys (green) and sells (red).
  • V - volume traded in the last hour, in dollars.
  • The creator - the crown and figures (for example 4/5) are the creator's record on 2hour.fun: coins graduated out of coins launched, with their linked wallets counted as one creator on both chains. Then their X handle with X's mark when they've proved their X account, or their 2hour.fun name, their level and a tick for a verified account. Point at the name (or tap it on a phone) for a quick look: their X handle, level, top badges and followers on 2hour.fun, with links to their X and their profile.
  • MC and 5m - market cap in dollars, and the price change over the last 5 minutes.
  • F (fees paid) - the trading fees paid on the coin so far, in dollars. Point at it to see how much of that the creator has earned. See Fees paid below.
  • Gift and a number - Refund Bot wins: trades on this coin that the Refund Bot refunded in full from the pot. It only shows once there's been at least one.
  • Curve - on New and Soon, how far along its curve the coin is, as a percentage and as the line along the bottom of the card. On Soon, the dollar figure (for example $1.2K to graduate) is roughly what's left to raise on the curve before it graduates, at the pair's price now - trading fees come on top.

Signals

The small highlighted pills by the creator are 2hour.fun's own signals. A card shows the best one or two, and none when there's nothing specific to say:

  • N you follow hold - how many of the people you follow hold the coin (only when you're signed in; nobody else sees yours).
  • #3 trader (7D) bought - one of the top traders on the leaderboard bought it.
  • Called by a top-10 caller - one of the top 10 on the callers board called it.
  • Notes (the speech bubble) - how many notes and shills the coin has.

Where a card is narrow, a signal shows as its icon and figure; point at it (or press and hold) for the words.

Risk chips

The small chips show who holds the coin, as a share of the supply. The curve or pool isn't a person, so it's never counted.

  • T10 - the share held by the 10 biggest wallets.
  • Dev - the share in the creator's wallets: the one that launched the coin and any others linked to it on 2hour.fun.
  • Ins (insiders) - the creator plus the wallets around them: their other wallets, wallets they sent the coin to, and early buyers.
  • Snipe (snipers) - the share held by wallets whose first buy landed within 10 seconds of launch. Green up to 5%, amber up to 15%, red above.
  • Bundle (bundled at launch) - the share held by wallets other than the dev's that bought together with the launch: within its first second on Robinhood Chain, in its own slot on Solana. Shown right after Dev, and only when there is some. Green up to 5%, amber up to 15%, red above.
  • Fresh (fresh wallets) - the share held by wallets with almost no history on the chain before they bought the coin: the usual sign of a bundle spread over brand-new wallets. The dev's wallets and 2hour.fun accounts aren't counted. Shown right after Dev, and only when there is some. Green up to 5%, amber up to 15%, red above.
  • DEX paid - a listing profile for the coin has been paid for on a DEX screener.

T10, Dev and Ins turn green, amber or red by the same lines as the coin page's badges - see Safety badges & holder tags. Chips are worked out in the background every minute, so a brand-new coin may have none yet: a figure that isn't in yet is left out rather than shown as zero.

Fees paid

Every trade on 2hour.fun pays a trading fee, so the fees a coin has paid add up with real trading. F shows that total in dollars. When a coin's fees are very small for its market cap, F turns amber (under 0.15% of the market cap) or red (under 0.075%): a market cap that grew without much trading on 2hour.fun behind it. It isn't graded under a $10K market cap, as every coin starts with a market cap before anyone has traded. Lots of fees doesn't make a coin safe, so F is never green.

With Graduated sorted by Trending 1H, each coin shows its place (#1, #2...) among graduated coins in the last hour's Trending, and one specific reason it's there - for example the biggest buy, a shill with likes, or when it graduated. It describes activity only.

Quick buy

  • Each lane has its own amount for each chain at its top (in its header; on a phone, in the slim row above its coins), marked with ETH or SOL - in ETH or SOL, or in dollars if you set quick buys to USD. Leave it empty to use your first preset.
  • The green button on a card buys that amount straight away. One tap is a real trade; the very first quick trade asks you to confirm once.
  • For a coin paired with a stock token, the button shows what it really spends in that token, at the price at the time.
  • Quick buy uses your trading wallet with Instant on. The Quick buy switch in the toolbar turns the buttons on or off and sets your presets.
  • Quick buys from the Trade page count towards the Commuter badge (on different days) and Lane changer (from all three lanes in one day). They show on your profile after the next badge update.

Filters, search and sound

  • The toolbar's Pairs, Filters and search apply to all three lanes at once.
  • Safer hides coins where insiders hold a red-badge share, where a shiller has sold, and copycats of an earlier coin's ticker, name or picture. It's about who holds the coin and where it came from - not where its price goes.
  • Each lane's own filters (the lines icon in its header) can set a market cap range, a smallest number of holders, and the most the top 10 or the dev may hold. Hide flagged coins leaves out coins where insiders hold a red-badge share, or where a shiller has sold.
  • A coin whose figures aren't worked out yet stays in the lane rather than being hidden.
  • Graduated's sort (the sort icon in its header): Newest graduated, Trending 1H, Market cap or Volume 1H.
  • New has a sound for each new coin. It's off until you turn it on (in New's header or Display), and Settings > Sounds still applies.
  • Your chains, pair, filters, amounts and Display settings are remembered in this browser.

Opening a coin

Tapping a card opens the coin in the Trade view: a compact screen with its chart, trades, holders, the creator's other coins and the buy and sell panel. Trade in the site's menu, Escape on a computer or your browser's back button return you to the lanes just as you left them - each lane's scroll, your tab on a phone, the search and your filters. A shared link to a coin's place in the lanes scrolls to its card and rings it for a moment; if your filters would hide it, it's shown at the top of its lane with an x to clear it.

Pause on hover

With a mouse, pointing at a lane holds the order of its coins, so they don't swap places just as you click one. Figures keep updating, new coins still slot straight into their place, and a coin that moves on to the next lane leaves at once.

On a phone

The three lanes become big tabs under the toolbar - New, Soon and Graduated, with how many coins each has. The lane you pick fills the rest of the screen and scrolls by itself; its quick buy amounts, sound, sort and filters sit in a slim row at its top. Press and hold a card for a quick look at the coin, or tap it to open it.

Be careful
Lanes, chips, signals and Trending show what's happening right now and can change in seconds. They say nothing about where a coin's price goes next.

Key points

  • Three lanes: New, Soon (coins that have reached 50% of the curve) and Graduated - coins only ever move forward.
  • Cards show the creator's record (graduated of launched), fees paid, Refund Bot wins and 2hour.fun's own signals.
  • Risk chips show how much of the supply the top 10, the dev, launch bundles, fresh wallets, insiders and snipers hold.
  • One toolbar, lined up with the lanes: the chains, Pairs, Filters (Safer, Rewards coins only) and one search cover all three lanes at once; Display sets the lanes' order and what cards show.
  • Each lane has its own quick buy amount per chain; one tap is a real trade.
  • Back from a coin, the lanes are just as you left them.
