Open-source tool detects crypto pump/dump regimes using Binance and Bybit data

Crypto Pump/Dump Detection Tool Released

A new open-source TypeScript pnpm monorepo has been made available, designed to identify pump and dump regimes in cryptocurrency markets. The tool processes 1-minute and 5-minute market statistics and bulk kline archives obtained from Binance and Bybit. It operates without requiring exchange API keys, relying instead on public bulk archives and REST endpoints from these platforms.

Functionality and Alerts

The system is configured to detect pump and dump events and subsequently send alerts via Telegram. Users can subscribe to these alerts through a Telegram bot. Additionally, the project includes a web interface for manual review of detected pump events, allowing users to browse and filter events by status, category, exchange, symbol, and date. This review process is intended to build a human-labeled dataset.

Technical Requirements and Setup

To run the detector, users need Node.js 20+, pnpm 9+, and pm2 for process management in a production environment. Setup involves configuring a database, a Telegram bot token, and a classifier Telegram chat ID. The system can download several days of historical candle data, which can take hours depending on network and disk performance. Production runs are managed by pm2, which keeps the processes alive and restarts them as needed.

Contribution and Improvement

The project is actively seeking machine learning contributors. The manual review interface plays a role in this, as it allows for the creation of a human-labeled dataset from detected pump events. This dataset is crucial for evaluating and enhancing the screener's detection algorithms, fostering continuous improvement of the system's accuracy.
