## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick snapshot of where trading activity is concentrated on a specific blockchain right now — ideal for identifying momentum trades, new token launches gaining traction, or high-volume pools. Prefer this over general token trending endpoints when you specifically care about pool-level DEX data rather than token-level CoinGecko data.
