At minimum, three categories of real-time visibility must be operational before TGE.
Market and liquidity monitoring should cover spot price across all listed venues, bid-ask spread width, order book depth, trading volume by exchange, and slippage estimates. If perpetual futures are live, include funding rates and open interest. This is your primary read on whether liquidity infrastructure is functioning as designed.
On-chain and contract monitoring should track token transfers from treasury and vesting contracts, wallet activity for known market makers and exchange addresses, contract event logs, and any anomalous transaction patterns. This layer catches operational errors and potential exploits early.
Community and sentiment tracking should capture message volume and tone across Discord, Telegram, and X, support ticket volume and common themes, and media mentions and KOL coverage. This is your early warning system for narrative issues, misinformation, or confusion about participation mechanics.
Forgd provides live dashboards for market maker monitoring and business intelligence, including spread tracking, depth analysis, and liquidity health metrics across venues. Book a Consultation to discuss dashboard setup ahead of your launch.
Beyond Forgd's dashboards, these do not need to be custom-built. Existing tools such as DEX Screener, Dune dashboards, Arkham, Nansen, exchange-provided analytics, and social listening platforms can cover remaining requirements. The critical factor is not sophistication but coverage; every key metric should have a real-time or near-real-time view that is accessible to the relevant role owner during launch week.
