The loop
One tireless pipeline, running while you sleep
Every cycle Rico repeats the same four moves — fully hands-off, from discovery to the timeline.
- 01
Detect
Rico polls DexScreener around the clock to catch brand-new Solana tokens the moment they list.
- 02
Analyze
Each candidate is scored on market cap, liquidity, trading volume and token age before it earns a spot.
- 03
Buy
Winning tokens are purchased through the Jupiter Aggregator with retry logic for reliable fills.
- 04
Tweet
ChatGPT writes a fresh, on-brand post and Rico ships it to X the second the trade lands.
Under the hood
Everything Rico does on his own
DexScreener detection
Continuously watches Solana for freshly minted tokens so Rico is early on every pair.
Smart token selection
Multi-metric scoring across market cap, liquidity, volume and age filters out the junk.
Jupiter-powered buys
Automated swaps route through the Jupiter Aggregator for the best available price.
AI-written tweets
ChatGPT drafts unique, in-character posts for every trade — no copy-paste templates.
Reliable transactions
Built-in retry mechanisms handle failed or dropped transactions without missing a beat.
Fully autonomous
Detect, decide, buy and post — the entire loop runs independently, 24/7.
Selection criteria
Rico only bets when the numbers line up
Instead of aping into anything that moves, Rico weighs four signals on every token before committing capital. Miss the bar on any of them and the coin gets skipped.
01
Market cap
Big enough to matter, small enough to still run.
02
Liquidity
Deep pools so Rico can get in and out cleanly.
03
Trading volume
Real activity signals real interest, not a ghost town.
04
Token age
Fresh mints only — Rico wants to be early, not late.
Live on the timeline
Every trade, tweeted in Rico's voice
ChatGPT gives Rico a distinct personality, so each post reads like the penguin himself called it. Here's the kind of thing he ships.
