The short answer
DEX Screener lists every trading pool automatically from on-chain data: a token does not need to pay to appear there. A Boost only adds weight to the Trending Score that ranks tokens on the trending screener and the trending bar, for 12 to 24 hours depending on the pack. The number of active Boosts is shown next to the token, so traders can see that the visibility was bought.
Coinvote is a listing site that also sells Boost packs of its own, which weigh on its daily Top. This page sticks to what DEX Screener publishes and links to it under Sources.
How the DEX Screener Trending Score works
DEX Screener does not publish its formula. Its documentation lists the signals it takes into account:
- Market activity: volume, liquidity, transactions, unique makers and holders.
- Community engagement: visitors on the token's DEX Screener page (website and app) and reactions from users.
- Trust: tokens with verified info get a boost, especially those with Enhanced Token Info; open-source tokens that pass security checks are valued.
Boosts apply a multiplier on top of that score. DEX Screener states that a token with weak activity will not reach the top on Boosts alone.
What a Boost does, and what it does not
- Lasts 12 to 24 hours from activation, depending on the pack; unused time is not extended or compensated.
- Applies to one token address on one chain, on every pair where it is the base token.
- Shows the count of active Boosts next to the token across the platform.
- Golden Ticker: with 500 or more active Boosts the symbol turns gold, for as long as 500 Boosts stay active.
- Bought on the token page in a web browser (yellow Boost button), not in the mobile app. The pack prices are shown at checkout, not in the documentation.
- Not available for tokens inactive for more than 24 hours or flagged by DEX Screener's audit partners.
- Final and non-refundable, including when DEX Screener removes Boosts from a token it flags as malicious.
The Boosting terms say DEX Screener can change how Boosts affect the Trending Score at any time, even for active Boosts, and that a Boost does not mean DEX Screener endorses the token.

Do you need Enhanced Token Info?
Not to appear. DEX Screener already shows every pool, and it fills in token information automatically from external token lists such as CoinGecko's once the token is there. Enhanced Token Info is a shortcut: the profile shows up within minutes (up to 12 hours) without waiting for those lists, and it counts as verified info in the Trending Score.
If the token is very new and the team wants its logo and links visible on day one, it can be worth it. If the token already has a CoinGecko page, the information may already be there.
What a Boost tells a trader
- Someone paid for visibility. It is usually the team or its community, but the documentation does not say who buys them.
- It says nothing about the contract: a boosted token can still be a honeypot, carry a high sell tax or let its owner mint more.
- Run the contract through the free Coinvote token scanner (honeypot, taxes, mint, owner, locked liquidity, top holders) before buying, and read how to check if a meme coin is bundled.
Trending lists, Boost counts and votes are not recommendations. This is not investment advice.
For projects: what to do before buying Boosts
Get the free visibility first
Your pool is already on DEX Screener. Apply to the free token lists (CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap) and list the project for free on Coinvote, which also accepts presales and tokens that do not trade yet.
Make the token checkable
Verified contract, ownership and mint powers explained, liquidity locked, one official site and accounts that link to each other. Scanners and traders look at these before any ranking.
Buy Boosts only on real activity
A Boost multiplies an existing score. On a pool with little volume or few holders it buys a short spike, then the token falls back. Set a budget you can lose and measure visitors and holders after each pack.
Keep it honest
Say that visibility is paid when you post about it, never promise returns, and follow the marketing rules of your audience's country (in the EU, MiCA requires marketing to be identifiable, fair and not misleading).
Listing on Coinvote is free: submit your project, it is reviewed before it goes live, then the community can vote for it. Paid Boosts on Coinvote exist too and are labelled as paid.
