# Introduction #### **What is MaxScan?** MaxScan is a Solana-based token scanner that monitors newly created mints, token transfers, metadata updates, and suspicious activity in real time. It helps developers, analysts, and traders understand what’s happening across the Solana ecosystem instantly. #### **Core Features** * Detects new token mints instantly from fresh blocks. * Tracks token transfers, holder activity, and supply changes. * Monitors metadata updates such as name, symbol, and URI. * Provides fast APIs for querying events and token activity. * Includes alerting via webhooks for automation and dashboards. #### **Why Solana?** Solana’s fast block times and high throughput make it ideal for real-time scanning. MaxScan is built around Solana’s token program and metadata standards for maximum accuracy and speed. #### **Quick Overview** MaxScan runs continuously, listens to blocks, extracts token activity, stores the data, and exposes it through APIs and webhooks for downstream use. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
