FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Exlipse
What is Exlipse?
Exlipse is a high-performance desktop application for real-time Solana token monitoring. It continuously fetches new tokens, analyzes them using configurable scanners, stores results locally, and displays everything through an elegant GUI.
What platforms does Exlipse support?
Exlipse runs on Windows 10+, Linux, and macOS. The desktop GUI provides a native window experience on all three platforms. A headless mode is also available for server deployments without a GUI.
How fast is Exlipse?
Exlipse processes approximately 160 tokens per second across hundreds of data fields in sub-second pipeline cycles. The Go-based architecture provides significantly faster performance compared to Python-based alternatives.
How do scanners work?
Scanners use a three-stage pipeline: Gate, Score, and Grade. Gates quickly filter out tokens that don't meet basic criteria. Tokens that pass all gates are scored across multiple weighted categories covering creator history, market momentum, social presence, token profile, and risk. The final score determines a GREEN, YELLOW, or RED grade.
What does the 'Experienced Dev' scanner look for?
The S01 scanner identifies tokens created by developers with a proven track record. It evaluates the creator's history of successful launches, their investment level, the token's real-time market performance, social media presence, and various risk factors like wash trading or suspicious wallet patterns.
What are the colored highlights in the UI?
The InterestingTracker detects rapid growth patterns in real-time. Red highlights indicate explosive market cap growth, while yellow highlights indicate significant volume spikes. These are separate from scanner grades — a token can have both a grade and a highlight.
Can I customize the analysis parameters?
Yes. All analysis parameters, gate thresholds, scoring weights, and grade boundaries are fully configurable via the configuration file. Environment variables can also be used to override any setting. Start with defaults and adjust gradually to match your strategy.
What data does Exlipse store?
All token data is stored locally in an SQLite database on your machine. Exlipse does not send your data to third-party servers. The database includes comprehensive token information with hundreds of fields per token.
My memory usage seems high. Is this normal?
The application caches recent token data in memory for fast lookups. This cache is bounded with automatic eviction to prevent unbounded growth. Normal idle memory usage is around 30MB. If you see significantly higher usage, check your configuration settings.
Can I run Exlipse without a GUI?
Yes. The headless monitor runs the full analysis pipeline without any GUI. It supports graceful shutdown via system signals. All data is logged and saved to the database as usual.
