Watchlist
The watchlist lets you pin tokens for live monitoring — prices, market caps, and liquidity update over WebSocket while the modal is open. You can trade directly from the list without navigating to each token's trade page.
Open it from the header or from any trade page.
Adding and removing tokens
Any token row across Interstate — Pulse, Discover, search results, trade pages — has a star / bookmark icon. Tap it to add. Tap again to remove.
Watchlists are stored per user and sync across devices when you sign in.
What you see
Every row in the watchlist shows:
- Name, symbol, logo, contract address
- Live price (USD)
- Market cap (USD)
- Liquidity (USD)
- 24h change where available
- Quick-buy pill — one-click buy at your active Quick-buy preset
Prices update via WebSocket as trades land — watch a watchlist token move without opening its chart.
Quick-buy from the watchlist
Clicking the quick-buy pill on a watchlist row behaves exactly like quick-buy elsewhere in the app:
- The trade is submitted at your active preset's amount, slippage, priority fee, and MEV mode
- You see a success toast with SOL spent and tokens received
- The new position appears in your portfolio
One important behavior: the pool address is re-validated at buy time.
Pool re-validation at buy time
A token you added to your watchlist a week ago may have migrated since — its bonding-curve pool could be retired and a new permanent AMM pool active. Interstate handles this transparently:
- When you click quick-buy, the backend looks up the current live pool for the token
- If the pool has changed (e.g., the token migrated), the trade routes to the new pool automatically
- You don't need to remove and re-add the token
If the pool has migrated while the watchlist is open, a sell will show a toast prompting you to refresh — the frontend needs fresh metadata before a sell can route correctly.
When to use the watchlist vs Pulse vs Portfolio
| Use the watchlist when | Use Pulse when | Use Portfolio when |
|---|---|---|
| You want to monitor tokens you haven't bought | You want the live launchpad firehose | You're tracking positions you already hold |
| You want fast quick-buys without scrolling | You want to catch new arrivals | You want PnL and trade history |
The watchlist is a cheap way to narrow the universe of tokens to the ones you care about without committing capital.
Caveats
- Watchlist is not an alert system. There's no price-target alert — use limit orders for market-cap-triggered execution.
- No auto-buy. The watchlist does not buy for you. Triggered auto-buys are Sniper.
- Large watchlists can get noisy. Prune tokens that have migrated, rugged, or stopped trading.
