The token page serves as both the home page and your gateway to exploring all available trading pairs on Lightbeam. Here you’ll find comprehensive information about each token’s performance and current market activity.
Top Tokens Table
The main page displays a ranked table of the most actively traded tokens on Lightbeam, ordered by 7-day trading volume. This gives you an immediate view of market activity and helps identify trending tokens.
Individual Token Details
When you select any token from the table or search for a specific one, you’ll access a detailed view with comprehensive trading information. At the top of each token’s page, you’ll find quick action buttons to buy or sell, which will take you directly to the Swap Page with your selected token pre-loaded.
Each token detail page provides four key sections of market data:
- Price Charts - Historical price data and trends
- Order Book - Current buy and sell orders
- Depth Chart - Visual market depth representation
- Recent Swaps - Live transaction history
Price Charts
The price section displays the token’s current price based on the most recent successful trade. Additionally, an interactive chart shows price movements over time, helping you analyze trading patterns and market trends for informed decision-making.
Order Book
The order book displays all current buy and sell orders for the selected token. Buy orders (bids) appear in green on the left, while sell orders (asks) are shown in red on the right. Each entry shows the quantity available and the price per unit.
Example Order Book:
Sell Orders (Red):
- 100 KTA at $1.35 per unit
- 50 KTA at $1.30 per unit
Buy Orders (Green):
- 75 KTA at $1.25 per unit
- 200 KTA at $1.20 per unit
In this example, there’s a $0.05 spread between the lowest sell order ($1.30) and the highest buy order ($1.25). A trade would occur when someone places a market order that bridges this gap, or when new limit orders match existing ones.
Depth Chart
The depth chart provides a visual representation of market liquidity by plotting the cumulative order book data. This dynamic chart updates in real-time as new orders are placed or filled, showing you the market depth at different price levels.

Recent Swaps
The recent swaps section displays a live feed of completed transactions for the selected token. Each entry provides essential trade information:
- Transaction time - When the trade was executed
- Trade size - Amount of tokens exchanged
- Price - Execution price per unit
- Trading pair - Which tokens were swapped
This real-time data helps you understand current market activity and recent price movements.
