Paying To Be Seen Screensaver
The Paying To Be Seen screensaver ranks tokens by how many promotional boosts they have bought on DEX Screener. It is a marketing product whose leaderboard is published openly, which makes it an unusually candid signal. It runs in the browser with nothing to install; press ESC to exit.
How the Paying To Be Seen screensaver works
The saver reads The DEX Screener token-boosts endpoint, key-free.
No account and no key: the request goes straight from your browser, or from this site's own refreshed copy of the feed where the source does not permit browser access.
Values are drawn on a canvas that resizes with the window, so it works on a laptop or a wall display.
If the source is unreachable the saver says so on screen rather than showing stale numbers as though they were current.
A worked example
Each row shows the chain, the project's own description text and the number of boosts purchased. It is not a quality ranking and this saver does not pretend it is — it is a ranking of who is currently spending money to be noticed, which is a genuinely useful thing to be able to see plainly.
Settings & tips

Frequently asked questions
- What is a boost?
- A paid promotion that raises a token's prominence on DEX Screener's listings. Projects buy them in batches; the count is how many are currently active.
- Why is that worth watching?
- Because promotional spend usually precedes attention, and in this corner of the market attention and price are closely linked. Seeing the spend directly is more informative than seeing only its effects.
- Is this real data?
- Yes. It comes from The DEX Screener token-boosts endpoint, key-free. Nothing is invented or simulated, and if the source cannot be reached the saver reports that instead of drawing something plausible.
- Does it cost anything or need an account?
- No. Every screensaver here is free, runs in the browser and needs no sign-up. This one uses a public API that requires no key.
