Scans
Not everything starts as a Call. A Scan is a token, ticker, contract or market shared with a Tribe to look at together.
A Scan is a quick way to bring a market into a Tribe.
A member can share:
- a token
- a ticker
- a contract address
- a market
Tribes then brings the available market information into the conversation so the Tribe can inspect it together.
A Scan is simply a way of saying: look at this.
What happens after a Scan
Members can look at the market, review the available data and discuss what they are seeing in chat or voice.
A Scan does not need a direction, entry, target or trade plan. It can simply be something worth looking at.
From there, members can keep watching, discuss it further, trade it themselves or turn the idea into a Call.
From Scan to Call
A Scan and a Call serve different purposes.
A Scan brings a market to the Tribe.
A Call turns a market into a specific trade idea.
For example, someone might share a contract address so the Tribe can inspect the token. If a member later sees a clear opportunity, they can create a Call with an entry, target, stop and additional context.
A Scan can lead to a Call, but it does not have to.
Why Scans matter
Scans make market discovery fast and social.
Instead of sending a contract address somewhere else and switching between apps to understand what it is, members can bring the market directly into the Tribe and look at it together.
Sharing a Scan is not a recommendation
Sharing a token, ticker, contract address or market does not automatically mean the person sharing it is recommending a trade.
Nothing on Tribes is financial advice.
