A launch is a sequence, not a single move. The tools in Mentat Booster fit together in an order that tends to work, and putting them in the wrong order wastes money. This is a simple playbook for the first week. Adjust it to your token and budget.
Day 0: set the stage
Before you spend anything, get the free basics in place:
- Fill in your token's profile on DexScreener and DEXTools with a logo, links and a description.
- Create your Telegram group and add the free Buy Bot, so every purchase appears live.
- Run the Token Analyzer on your own token. If it shows a red flag, fix it before anyone else finds it.
- Claim your 50 free DexScreener reactions so the page does not look ignored.
- Post your token for free with Advertise with us.
None of that costs anything. It puts a baseline of trust and visibility in place.
Day 0–2: keep the chart alive
The first hours decide whether a new token gets noticed. On a launchpad, a token that has not traded for a few minutes slips out of sight. The Bump Booster sends tiny buys and sells every few seconds, in bundles of three wallets, so the token keeps showing up and its chart keeps moving. It is cheap because the same funds keep recycling.
Day 2–5: raise volume
Once the token has some momentum, use the Volume Booster to raise 24-hour volume. Start small, watch the progress reports and use a gradual exit when you finish so you do not dump your own chart. Our guide to exiting without crashing the chart explains why.
Volume has a second purpose: it is how you reach the minimums that trending placements require.
Day 4–7: time a trending placement
When the token comfortably clears the requirements, consider a placement:
- DexScreener trending is the most-watched list. Check the requirements for your chain in how DexScreener trending works.
- DEXTools trending and Padre trending reach other audiences.
- A larger batch of reactions timed to the placement makes the page look busy when new traders arrive.
Keep a volume session running through the placement. If activity falls below the requirements, the placement can end early.
What to skip
- Do not order a placement the moment you barely qualify.
- Do not run every tool at once on day one. You will not know what worked.
- Do not expect any tool to promise a price. They raise activity and visibility.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do first after launching a token?
Complete the token's profile, keep the chart active and set up your community. A Bump Booster session is a low-cost way to keep a new token visible in the first hours.
When should I order a trending placement?
When the token comfortably clears the platform's requirements and you can keep volume up for the whole placement. Ordering when you only just qualify risks an early removal.
Do I need all of these tools?
No. They solve different problems. Start with what your token is missing, such as activity or social proof, and add the rest as it grows.
