Paid DEX Token Boosts: How to Read the Number Before a Swap

DEX Screener boosts are paid visibility. They last for a set period, are non-refundable and say nothing about a token's quality.

Short answer

DEX Screener boosts are purchased to increase a token's visibility; they last 12–24 hours, are non-refundable, and 500 or more active boosts unlock a 'Golden Ticker'. DEX Screener notes boosting is not an endorsement. Before a swap, treat boosts as marketing spend: check liquidity, holders, contract details and trading activity independently, and be aware that boosted visibility can bring short-lived attention.
