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.
