Bonk Lair reads the Graduated channel so you can see each alert in context: live data, measured outcomes, and a plain checklist.
Loading live Graduated alerts…
Screen: market cap at least $10.0K, liquidity at least $5.0K, top-10 wallets holding at most 25 %. Charts open on GMGN.
| Token | Chain | First alert cap | Tracked cap | Multiple | Report |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MOONBASE | base | $186K | $1400K | 8x | 2026-09-05 |
| BABYPONS | BSC | $184K | $3500K | 19x | 2026-09-07 |
| GrokBot | SOL | $70K | $4400K | 63x | 2026-08-24 |
| CATS | Robinhood | $10K | $198K | 19x | 2026-08-18 |
Historic examples only. Each multiple compares the reported market cap with the first alert. Many other alerts in the same period lost value.
A Graduated alert means a launch has left the launchpad and its liquidity now sits in a regular pool.
Launch-stage tokens change fastest. Liquidity is thin, holders are few and one wallet can move the chart. Bonk Lair reads each Graduated alert as a starting point for checks, never as a verdict.
Bonk Lair watches the launch lane because most failed tokens fail there. The Graduated channel is its raw input; the checks below are the filter.
Quick test: Compare market cap with liquidity. A small pool under a large cap means a thin exit. Check the top ten holders, the share held by the deployer and whether liquidity is locked or burned before anything else.
No separate rate is published for this lane yet. Across all BNB Chain topics in the last 7 days, 19 % reached 2x inside a day and 91 % died inside a day.

Filters are a choice, not a truth. This is the choice Bonk Lair made for Graduated alerts:
At build time the lane held 48 recent alerts covering about 26 hours; 23 of them cleared the screen. Median values for the passing alerts: cap $37.3K, liquidity $18.8K, holders 231. 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.
Five reads that fit Graduated alerts on BNB Chain, chosen by Bonk Lair.

Every Graduated alert gets the same checks at Bonk Lair.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Test that you can sell a small amount before adding size. |
| 2 | Work from the contract address; tickers repeat across chains and copies. |
| 3 | Write down the level that proves you wrong before any buy. |
| 4 | Re-check the token an hour later; many setups change fast. |
| 5 | Search the contract in the Empire Telegram network to see other alerts on it. |
| 6 | Check the first minutes for same-block buys from linked wallets. |
