If you have six hours to watch new tokens, start with noon to 6 p.m. Eastern. It contains 57 of the 149 timed tokens in this screened sample. The next six hours contain another 52. Together, that is 73% of the list.

These tokens have recorded trading activity and a market cap of at least $2M supported by repeated checks within the past 30 days. Wrapped assets, stablecoins, tokenized stocks, flagged tokens and collapsed or insufficiently verified markets are excluded.

Afternoon first. Evening is close.

First choice for a six-hour shift. 57 tokens: 14 Base and 43 Robinhood. Noon to 2 p.m. is the busiest two-hour block, with 27 launches.

A close alternative. 52 tokens: 11 Base and 41 Robinhood. The 6–8 p.m. and 8–10 p.m. blocks each contain 21 launches.

Focus on late morning if you trade Base. 24 tokens overall. Base has eight launches from 10 a.m. to noon and eight from noon to 2 p.m., so the noon boundary is not a hard cutoff.

Lowest priority for a regular shift. 16 tokens, or 11% of the sample. There are overnight runners, but fewer in these records.

Check the chain you actually trade

Robinhood supplies 108 of the 149 timed tokens, so it carries more weight in the combined result. On Robinhood, 84 of 108 launches fall between noon and midnight: 78%. On Base, that window contains 25 of 41: 61%.

When the screened tokens launchedShare of each chain’s timed tokens · Eastern Time

Base: 41 tokens. Robinhood: 108. Launch time uses the recorded trading-launch timestamp, which may be later than the first trade. Confirmed deployments remain a separate option.

For Base, late morning through early afternoon is worth watching. For Robinhood, the afternoon and evening concentration is clearer. Neither sample is large enough to justify treating a specific hour as an appointment with the next runner.

Plan in six-hour shifts. Refine in two.

Use the four broad windows to choose a shift. Use two-hour intervals to decide where to concentrate inside it. Noon–2 p.m. leads with 27 tokens; 6–8 p.m. and 8–10 p.m. follow with 21 each. One-hour detail is available, but smaller buckets make the rankings more sensitive to a handful of tokens.

Count first. Market cap second.

The count tells you when more of these tokens launched. Median and average caps tell you how large their recorded highs were. A higher cap in a thin bucket is not a reason to build your workday around it.

Past 30 days ATH means the highest supported market cap in our checks during that window. It is not a lifetime ATH or a continuous record of every trade. The cap window is fixed to the update date; the date filters below select when tokens launched.

A starting schedule, with a narrower sample

Tokens must have recorded trading activity to qualify. Highs need a second observation at $2M or more, within fivefold of the high and at least 30 minutes apart. The latest check must show at least $50K liquidity, recent sell activity and a cap above 5% of that high. Passing these checks does not establish safety.

Removing collapsed markets makes this a study of screened survivors. It cannot estimate your chance of finding a winner, and it may omit real runs that later failed. More tokens in a time bucket may simply reflect more launches at that hour.

Confidence is limited in the schedule. The afternoon/evening pattern survives this cleanup, but use it to prioritize attention, not as evidence that buying at those hours improves returns.

149 tokens have launch times; 11 more pass the screen but lack that timestamp. The article uses the full screened sample. Explorer filters do not rewrite these findings.
