Best GMGN Filters (2026): Trenches & New Pair Settings

The best GMGN filters are the ones that remove the tokens you would never trade anyway, so that the few dozen left in Trenches or New Pair are worth a human look. GMGN gives you a panel with a dozen or so fields per column, no recommended values, and a save button. What you put in the fields decides whether you see 400 rugs an hour or 15 candidates.

This guide lists every filter field GMGN documents, gives three example presets (conservative, balanced, degen) with explicit numbers as starting points rather than advice, covers keyword and social filters, notes what changes on BSC and Robinhood Chain versus Solana, shows how to save presets, and lists the mistakes that surface in almost every "gmgn filters reddit" thread.

What do GMGN filters actually do?

Filters are a view layer. They hide rows in the Trenches columns (New, Almost Bonded, Migrated) or the New Pair tab that fail your conditions. They do not place trades, and they do not affect copy trading, which has its own filter set covered in the GMGN copy trading guide.

Because the feed is a firehose, filters change your behavior more than any other setting. A loose filter trains you to click fast on garbage; a tight one leaves an empty column during the ten minutes when something real launched. The goal is a column that refreshes at a pace you can evaluate, with the security panel already telling you most of what you need. The GMGN Trenches and sniper guide explains the columns and panel; this guide is about narrowing them.

Every GMGN Trenches and New Pair filter field

Per GMGN's documentation, the Trenches and New Pair panels expose these fields. Labels vary slightly by chain and column.

Security checks like mint authority, freeze authority and LP burned appear in the security panel and some are available as filter toggles depending on the column. GMGN does not document which fields exist on every chain, so check the panel on the chain you trade.

Three example GMGN filter presets

The numbers below are starting points from independent analysis, not GMGN recommendations and not financial advice. GMGN publishes no suggested values. Every meta shift changes what "normal" looks like, and a preset that worked in a hot month shows nothing in a quiet one. Start from one, watch how many rows survive, and adjust one field at a time.

Conservative preset (Migrated or Almost Bonded column)

For traders who want post-graduation tokens with distributed supply and accept missing the first candle.

Balanced preset (Almost Bonded column)

For traders who want proven demand before migration.

Degen preset (New column)

For traders sniping launches with small sizes who accept that most entries go to zero. Even here, the filters exist to skip obvious bundles.

Position size should scale with the preset. Degen filters with conservative sizing, or the reverse, is the most common mismatch. The GMGN fees guide shows why a 0.1 SOL snipe pays roughly 14% round-trip at GMGN's recommended 0.006 SOL priority fee.

Keyword include and exclude filters

Keyword filters match substrings in token name and symbol.

• Include shows only tokens containing one of your terms. Use it when a narrative is running: if a meme is trending on X, an include list with two or three spellings surfaces every launch riding it.
• Exclude hides tokens containing your terms: variants of "test", obvious celebrity impersonations, the token you got rugged on last week.

Two cautions. Include filters chase narratives by definition, and launchpad narratives are exhausted within hours. And matching is literal: a deployer dodges an exclude list by changing one letter, while an over-broad term catches legitimate tokens. Keep exclude lists short and review them weekly.

Social filters: do they help?

Social toggles require an X account, Telegram group or website before a token appears. The value is asymmetric: a token with no socials is unlikely to gather a community, so requiring at least one removes a large slice of dead launches. But having socials proves nothing; a Telegram group takes a minute to create and an X account can be bought.

Social filters cannot detect a "callout". In community usage, a GMGN callout means a KOL or alpha channel publicly promoting a token; it is not a GMGN feature. To see callouts in the terminal, use the X Tracker, which surfaces tweets mentioning the contract address, and the KOL tags in the GMGN wallet tracker. A token that passes your social filter and then shows a KOL wallet buying is a different signal from one that merely has a Telegram link.

Chain-specific notes: Solana vs BSC vs Robinhood Chain

GMGN is no longer Solana-only, and the best GMGN filters differ by chain.

Solana. The launchpad ecosystem (Pump.fun, letsbonk, Raydium LaunchLab) is where bundler, sniper and insider detection is most mature, and where the Almost Bonded column is most meaningful because of the bonding-curve model. Solana was 99.5% of GMGN's activity in January 2025 and remains the reference chain for its documentation. Priority fee is SOL-denominated; GMGN recommends 0.002–0.005 SOL for normal trades.

BSC. BSC was GMGN's largest chain by fee share in early August 2026 (58.9% per a competitor-cited DefiLlama split) before Robinhood Chain overtook it. Filters add EVM fields: contract verified, ownership renounced, buy/sell tax, honeypot. Tax filters matter here in a way they do not on Solana, because a 10% sell tax lives in the contract rather than the pool. A min-liquidity threshold copied from a Solana preset may be too loose or too tight depending on BNB price.

Robinhood Chain. An Arbitrum-stack L2 launched 1 July 2026, ETH for gas, memecoin volume dominant; about 58.6% of GMGN's 30-day fees in August 2026 per the same split. For "gmgn robinhood filters", start from the BSC logic (EVM security fields, tax and honeypot toggles) rather than the Solana one, because there is no bonding-curve stage in the same sense. GMGN does not document a Robinhood-specific filter set as of September 2026; use what the panel shows at gmgn.ai/?chain=robinhood and save it separately.

The GMGN chains guide tracks which chains are live and how the mix has shifted.

How to save GMGN filter presets

1. Open Trenches or New Pair and click the filter icon in the column header.
2. Set the fields, apply, and watch the column for a minute to confirm the row rate is what you want.
3. Use the save option in the same panel and name the preset by chain and stage, for example "SOL Almost Bonded balanced" or "RH migrated conservative".
4. Repeat per column; each Trenches column can carry its own preset because sensible thresholds differ by stage.
5. Switch presets from the panel when the meta changes rather than editing values live.

GMGN documents that presets are saveable but not a limit on how many, or cross-device sync. Presets live in your account, so the mobile app, whose Discover tab exposes a simpler filter set, may not show everything set on the web. If a preset vanishes, check you are on the same account: Telegram login and Phantom login are separate accounts that do not merge, as the GMGN login guide explains.

Common GMGN filter mistakes

1. Copying a preset without its chain and column. A "best filters for gmgn" screenshot from a Solana New column applied to Robinhood Migrated shows nothing, or everything.
2. Max bundler at 0%. Almost every launchpad token has some bundled supply. Zero hides the feed.
3. Min holders too high on the New column. By the time a new token has 200 holders, it is no longer new.
4. No max market cap. Without a ceiling, New Pair fills with tokens that already did a 20x, and you buy tops with launch sizing.
5. Ignoring liquidity on the way out. A $30k market cap with $1k liquidity cannot be sold at size. The liquidity floor is your exit filter.
6. Mistaking the filter for the security panel. Filters hide rows; they do not replace reading mint authority, LP burned and dev history before you buy.
7. Never revisiting. A preset from three months ago encodes a dead meta. Review monthly, or whenever a column goes quiet for a day.
8. Chasing a callout after the filter caught it. If a token only entered your market cap band because it pumped after a KOL post, you are the exit liquidity. Check the X Tracker timeline.

What Reddit gets right and wrong about GMGN filters

Threads on r/solana and r/CryptoMoonShots discussing GMGN filter settings (there is no official subreddit) converge on points that hold up: require LP burned and mint disabled, cap top-10 and bundler share, use a liquidity floor. They also share three errors: quoting a specific number as "the" setting, treating a preset as a strategy rather than a screen, and recommending the same values for every chain.

Filters only remove candidates. Whether a survivor is a trade still depends on the security panel, the holder tags, who is buying right now, and your sizing. The GMGN glossary defines the terms you will meet in those threads (BC owner, jeet, Smart Degen, bonded), the how to use GMGN guide covers the terminal end to end, and the GMGN AI app home page links every guide on this site.

Key takeaways

• GMGN filters hide rows in Trenches and New Pair; they do not trade and do not replace the security panel.
• GMGN documents the fields (market cap, liquidity, holders, age, dev holding, top-10, snipers, insiders, bundlers, socials, keywords, launchpad) but publishes no recommended values.
• The best GMGN filters depend on chain, column and position size; the conservative, balanced and degen presets here are starting points, not advice.
• Save one preset per chain and per column, name them clearly, and revisit monthly.
• On BSC and Robinhood Chain, lean on EVM security fields; on Solana, on bundler, sniper and insider percentages.
• A "callout" is community slang for a KOL promotion; spot it with the X Tracker, not a filter.
