25
Mint Authority
Is the ability to create new tokens permanently revoked? Fixed supply is non-negotiable. On-chain binary fact.
20
Holder Distribution
What % of supply do the top 20 wallets hold? High concentration is a red flag — though wallet splitting can game this metric.
15
Liquidity
How does liquidity compare to market cap? A token with 1% LP/MCAP ratio is a liquidity trap — the price collapses the moment someone sells. We score the ratio, not just the raw number.
10
Freeze Authority
Can the creator freeze your token accounts? This should be revoked. On-chain binary fact.
10
Contract Age
How old is the contract? New contracts with no history carry higher risk. Age alone is not safety.
10
Token Mechanics
Does the token use Token-2022 extensions like hidden transfer fees, permanent delegate, or transfer hooks? On-chain binary fact.
10
Creator Risk
Does the deployer wallet still hold tokens? A creator who sold everything is a warning signal. Applies to tokens with limited transaction history. High-activity tokens are flagged as not applicable.
Score Caps — Critical Signal Override
Certain signals are severe enough to limit the total score regardless of other metrics. A token cannot be considered trustworthy if one fundamental risk is extreme.
- 🚨 Top-20 wallets control ≥80% of supply → Score capped at 49 (HIGH RISK)
- ⚠️ Top-20 wallets control ≥60% of supply → Score capped at 65 (PARTIAL RISK)
- ⚠️ Holder distribution unavailable (high-activity tokens) → Score capped at 70 — concentration risk unverifiable
- 🚨 Mint authority still active → Score capped at 60
- ⚠️ Freeze authority still active → Score capped at 70
- 🚨 Dangerous Token-2022 extensions detected → Score capped at 40
The goose does not average away red flags.
