USDC (USD Coin) — Solana wake-up alerts

MicroEdge watches USD Coin (USDC) on Solana 24/7 and fires PROBE / STRIKE alerts when wake-up patterns, momentum bursts, post-pump retraces, or stake-derivative arbs cross our cost-dominance gates. This page covers what we look for, what triggers, and how to act on a USDC alert.

how we score USDC

Every observation of USDC runs through five strategies: wake-up, momentum-burst, post-pump-scalp, route-imbalance, and stake-derivative-arb (when applicable). Each produces a 0–100 score with breakdown. Anything below the cost-dominance toll is rejected before it ever reaches your phone.

USDC risk filters

Before any USDC alert fires, our rejection engine checks: liquidity ≥ $1k, spread ≤ 100 bps, freeze authority off, top-holder concentration sane, signal age < 15s, no recent same-mint cooldown, no rug-pattern match. About 60% of raw signals are rejected at this stage.
