Dead Coin Revival
Old tokens with liquidity still parked in the pool, suddenly trading far above their own normal volume — the footprint left when a pod decides to pump a dead coin, or when an old name gets picked up by a new narrative. Scored against each coin's own baseline, not an absolute dollar threshold, so a $200k day on a coin that normally does $3k ranks above a $2M day on a coin that always does $2M.

- 1h / 6h — a burst: recent volume extrapolated to a full day, versus the actual last 24h. Works from the first run, no history needed. 1h means it's spiking right now; 6h means the move has been building for a few hours.
- Nd — a revival: today's volume versus the median of the last N days recorded for that coin. This is the truer dormancy signal, and it replaces the burst score for a coin once 3+ days of history exist.
Vol/Liq is 24h volume divided by pool liquidity. A dormant pool churning multiples of its own liquidity is the classic pump footprint — it means real turnover, not just a repriced pool.
Gates: liquidity $20K–$5M (real money, but not a major), pair age ≥ 45d (a revival, not a fresh launch), 24h volume ≥ $15K, and ≥ 50 trades in 24h to exclude mirrored pools and wash prints. Stablecoin and wrapped-major pools are excluded.
The baseline sharpens over time: every run records one volume observation per coin per day, so the multi-day revival score covers more of the table the longer the cron has been running. Scores are a screening signal, not a recommendation — these are thin, manipulated markets by construction.
