# Market Discovery

Discover and trade new tokens effortlessly using multiple methods tailored to your trading style. Once you find promising tokens, track them in your [Portfolio](https://docs.assetswap.ai/core-features/portfolio) or set up [Autopilot](https://docs.assetswap.ai/automation/autopilot) to trade them automatically.

## Discovery Methods

### Method 1: AI-Powered Discovery

Let the [AI Chat Assistant](https://docs.assetswap.ai/core-features/ai-chat) find the best opportunities for you.

**How it works:**

1. Open the AI chat
2. Say things like:
   * "Find me the best meme coins today"
   * "Show tokens with score above 80"
   * "What's trending on crypto twitter?"
3. AI analyzes and presents options
4. Choose which to buy directly in chat

**Best for:** Beginners, quick decisions, trend following

### Method 2: Drag and Drop Trading

The simplest way to buy any token.

**How it works:**

1. Find a token anywhere (Twitter, Telegram, Discord)
2. Copy the token address or symbol
3. **Simply drag and drop it into the chat**
4. AI instantly recognizes the token
5. Shows token details and score
6. Confirm to buy with one click

**Supported formats:**

* Token contract addresses
* Token symbols (BONK, WIF, etc.)
* Solscan links
* DexScreener URLs

**Best for:** Quick trades, social media finds, following calls. Perfect for users who discover tokens outside the platform and want to leverage our [scoring system](https://docs.assetswap.ai/dashboard#token-scoring-system) before trading.

### Method 3: Dashboard Discovery

Browse and analyze all tokens systematically using our [Dashboard](https://docs.assetswap.ai/core-features/dashboard) with its comprehensive [Token Scoring System](https://docs.assetswap.ai/dashboard#token-scoring-system).

**How it works:**

1. Go to Dashboard
2. Sort by score, volume, or gains
3. Filter by your criteria
4. Click any token for details
5. Buy directly from dashboard

**Best for:** Research, comparison, systematic approach

Follow the crowd intelligently.

**How it works:**

2. Identifies trending tokens
3. Filters out scams and paid promotions
4. Presents genuine opportunities
5. Shows social sentiment score

**Best for:** Catching early trends, viral tokens
