To check whether a crypto project token launched, read 3 things in order: the token-launched flag on the project's NAUT record, the ticker and token link beside it, and 1 outside source such as CoinGecko. NAUT tracks 2,626 live project rows carrying that flag as of 14 November 2026, and 501 of them hold all 3 pieces of evidence (a ticker, a token link and a recorded source).
Data note. Every count here was read from NAUT's own database on 14 November 2026, read-only, over the 6,974 live project rows. A row counts as flagged when its token-launched field is set. 2 of the 2,626 flagged rows, Aave and Targon, were put through an outside check (CoinGecko's coin pages and search API, the projects' own sites, and Aave's X account), so the other 2,624 flags rest on NAUT's record alone. 1 flagged row holds a ticker typed into its link field and is left out of the worked examples. NAUT Research wrote it.
Crypto project token launched: the 3 checks
The flag is a lead. The ticker, the link and a second source turn it into a fact you can put in a pitch, a term sheet or a listing conversation.
- Check 1, the NAUT flag. Open the project on NAUT, or filter project search by launched tokens. 2,626 of 6,974 live project rows carry the flag.
- Check 2, the ticker and the token link. 2,251 flagged rows (85.7%) carry a ticker. 704 (26.8%) carry a token link, and 657 of those point to CoinGecko.
- Check 3, a second source. 2,002 flagged rows (76.2%) record where the launch was confirmed, and 1,947 of those name a CoinGecko price. Open that source yourself before you rely on it.

How strong is each crypto project token launched flag on NAUT?
Most flags carry a ticker, about 3 in 4 carry a recorded source, and about 1 in 5 carry all 3 pieces of evidence. The table counts the 2,626 flagged rows by what sits beside the flag.
| Evidence | Rows | Share |
|---|---|---|
| A ticker | 2,251 | 85.7% |
| A recorded source | 2,002 | 76.2% |
| A token link | 704 | 26.8% |
| Ticker, link and source together | 501 | 19.1% |
| None of the 3 | 192 | 7.3% |
The 192 rows with a bare flag are where a second source matters most: NAUT holds the flag and nothing else for them.
What sources sit behind the 2,002 recorded flags?
Every recorded source on a flagged row names CoinGecko. The source tells you which kind of evidence NAUT matched, so you know what to open.
| Source | Rows | Open |
|---|---|---|
| CoinGecko price | 1,947 | Coin page |
| CoinGecko reviewed | 41 | Coin page |
| CoinGecko name and symbol | 11 | Name search |
| CoinGecko all-time high | 2 | Coin page |
| CoinGecko id | 1 | Coin page |
| No source recorded | 624 | A second source |
Which crypto token ticker and link does NAUT hold for 2 real projects?
Aave carries every piece of evidence and Targon carries only the flag and a ticker, so between them they show the strongest and a thin case.
| Evidence | Aave | Targon |
|---|---|---|
| Flag | Yes | Yes |
| Ticker | AAVE | SN4 |
| Token link | CoinGecko coin page | None on file |
| Recorded source | CoinGecko price, 1 August 2026 | None on file |
| Outside check, 14 November 2026 | CoinGecko USD price about $113.5, rank 48 | CoinGecko lists SN4, rank 321 |
Aave. All 3 checks pass inside NAUT's record: the flag, the ticker AAVE, a link to its CoinGecko coin page, and a CoinGecko price source dated 1 August 2026. The outside check agreed: CoinGecko's price API returned a USD price for AAVE, and the account Aave's own site links on X is @aave.
Targon. NAUT holds the flag and the ticker SN4, with no token link and no recorded source, so check 3 has to come from outside. CoinGecko's search lists Targon with the symbol SN4, and its coin page says "SN4 tokens can be traded on decentralized exchanges." The same page places the project on Subnet 4 of the Bittensor network. Targon's own site, read the same day, names neither the subnet nor SN4, so the token evidence for Targon sits on CoinGecko.
What should a deal maker do with a pre-token project?
The 4,348 of 6,974 live project rows with no flag hold no launch on NAUT's record. Treat them as candidates for pre-token projects and confirm with a second source before you pitch.
- A BD lead selling listings, market making or launch services can start from projects without the flag, then confirm on CoinGecko that no token trades yet.
- A founder raising can use the flag to see which peers already trade and which are still raising privately.
- An investor sourcing can filter to flagged rows with all 3 pieces of evidence (501) when a liquid token matters, and to unflagged rows when it does not.

Crypto project token launched FAQ
How do I tell whether a crypto project has launched a token?
Run 3 checks: the token-launched flag on the project's NAUT record, the ticker and token link beside it, and 1 outside source such as CoinGecko. Of the 2,626 live project rows NAUT flags as token launched on 14 November 2026, 501 carry a ticker, a token link and a recorded source together.
Does a ticker prove a crypto project token launched?
A ticker is evidence, and a second source makes it proof. 2,251 of NAUT's 2,626 flagged rows carry a ticker, and Targon shows why the outside check matters: NAUT holds SN4 with no link or source, and CoinGecko search confirms the symbol.
What does it mean when a flagged project has no source?
It means NAUT holds the flag without recording where the launch was confirmed. That is true of 624 of the 2,626 flagged rows on 14 November 2026, and 192 flagged rows carry no ticker, link or source at all.
Where can I find crypto projects with a launched token, and who runs them?
NAUT's project search lists the 2,626 live projects flagged as token launched on 14 November 2026; through the API, GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects?token=launched filters projects to launched tokens and GET https://api.naut.so/v1/projects/aave returns 1 company with its team. Verified Telegram, email and LinkedIn unlock on any paid NAUT plan, so start a 7-day trial.
