# Boosting
### What are Boosts?
Boosts are a powerful way to amplify a token's presence on DEX Screener. By purchasing a Boost pack you can temporarily increase a token's [Trending Score](/trending.md), helping it gain more visibility. Boosts last from 12 to 24 hours depending on the pack, and the number of active Boosts is prominently displayed next to the token across the platform. The more Boosts, the bigger the bragging rights — and the higher the token's score!
### What is the Golden Ticker?
The Golden Ticker is the ultimate flex for any token on DEX Screener. It's unlocked when 500 or more Boosts are active, and it changes the token's symbol to a striking golden color on the screener and token pages, ensuring it stands out from the crowd. The Golden Ticker lasts as long as there are 500+ active Boosts.
### How do you boost a token?
Open the token page in a web browser and click the yellow **Boost** button.
**Note: Boosting isn't available on the mobile app, only in the web browser.**
### Do Boosts guarantee that a token will trend?
No, Boosts are not a magic bullet. They enhance a token's existing Trending Score by applying a multiplier, but they don't replace the other critical on-chain and off-chain metrics factored into our ranking algorithm. Boosts can help a well-performing token rise further, but a token with weak fundamentals won't automatically rank at #1 just by using Boosts.
### Can any token be boosted?
Most tokens on DEX Screener can be Boosted, but there are exceptions. Tokens that have been inactive for over 24 hours or those flagged with potential security risks by our third-party audit partners are ineligible for Boosts. If you encounter an error while trying to Boost a token and believe it’s a mistake, please reach out to us via [email](mailto:support@dexscreener.com), [Telegram](https://t.me/dexscreenerchat) or [Discord](https://discord.gg/ARbh55A472).
### Are Boosts refundable?
No, Boosts are non-refundable. Additionally, Boosts may be removed from a token if it's flagged as malicious by our moderators or third-party auditors. For more details, please refer to the [Boosting Terms and Conditions](/privacy/boosting-terms-and-conditions.md).
