90–100
PRISTINE
Exceptional transparency. All signals positive.
75–89
STRUCTURALLY SOUND
Strong fundamentals. Minor risks noted.
60–74
PARTIAL RISK
Some transparency measures in place. Risks remain. Read the breakdown.
40–59
HIGH RISK
Significant transparency failures. Do not act without independent verification.
0–39
CRITICAL
Extreme risk detected. Likely trap, honeypot, or confirmed rug vector.
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. AMM liquidity pools (Raydium, Orca, Meteora) and known vesting contracts are filtered from this calculation — the figure reflects real holder wallets only.
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.
⚑
Honeypot Check
Are sell transactions failing on-chain? Analyzes recent DEX swap patterns to detect if the token can be sold. Score capped at 15 if likely trap. Observed — transaction pattern analysis.
⚑
Update Authority
Can the creator change token name, logo or URI after launch? Mutable metadata is a phishing vector. On-chain fact. Score capped at 85 if mutable.
10
Deployer Conviction
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 ≥95% of supply (liq <$500K) → Score capped at 35 (CRITICAL) — creator effectively controls supply
- 🚨 Top-20 wallets control ≥80% of supply (liq <$500K) → Score capped at 49 (HIGH RISK)
- ⚠️ Top-20 wallets control ≥60% of supply (liq <$500K) → Score capped at 65 (PARTIAL RISK)
- ⚠️ Top-20 wallets control ≥80% of supply (liq ≥$500K) → Score capped at 65 — high concentration but likely exchange cold wallets
- ⚠️ Top-20 wallets control ≥60% of supply (liq ≥$500K) → Score capped at 75 — institutional custody likely, not coordinated dump risk
- Tokens with liquidity ≥$500K often have significant exchange custody (Binance, Coinbase cold wallets). High concentration in these cases may not represent coordinated dump risk. The scanner notes this context explicitly.
- ⚠️ 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
- ⚠️ Mutable metadata (creator can change name / logo / URI) → Score capped at 85 — phishing vector
- 🚨 Dangerous Token-2022 extensions detected → Score capped at 40
- 🚨 Honeypot detected → Score capped at 15 — selling appears impossible
- ⚠️ Suspicious sell pattern → Score capped at 50 — elevated failed sell rate
- 🚨 Token or pool less than 48 hours old → Score capped at 60 — LP lock and creator intent unverifiable
- ⚠️ 24h Vol/MCAP ratio >200% → Score capped at 65 — abnormal volume relative to market cap
- 🚨 24h Vol/MCAP ratio >500% → Score capped at 49 — likely coordinated pump or wash trading
- 🚨 24h Vol/MCAP ratio >1000% → Score capped at 35 (CRITICAL) — blatant manipulation, 10× mcap volume
- ⚠️ LP confirmed unlocked → −5 pts penalty — creator can remove liquidity at any time
- LP burned (incinerator), locked via Raydium Burn & Earn, or locked via Unicrypt is verified on-chain and displayed [VERIFIED], but does not award points — a clean baseline is expected, not rewarded. Only failure modes are penalized.
- ⚠️ Liquidity data unavailable (DexScreener fetch failed) → Score capped at 50 — context unverifiable, manipulation cannot be ruled out
- 🚨 3+ critical signals firing simultaneously → −10 pts compounding penalty — beyond reasonable doubt
The goose does not average away red flags.
