How we score a token
Every scan runs the same checklist against live onchain data. No vibes, no black box. Here is exactly what we look at, and how much each thing moves the number.
The score
Each check that fires adds points. We add them up and map the total onto a 0-100 scale, where higher means riskier. The number becomes a verdict:
Nothing alarming surfaced. Still do your own research.
A few things are off. Understand them before you ape.
Built in a way that can hurt you. Treat it as guilty until proven innocent.
Deal-breakers
The ways a token is built to take your money. Any one of these is usually enough to walk away.
- Mint authority active+35
- Freeze authority active+40
- Permanent delegate set+50
- Non-transferable / default frozen+60
- Transfer fee+30
- LP not locked/burned+30
- Top holder concentration+25
- Flagged wallet among holders+30
- Insider cluster supply+30
- Deployer flagged+45
- Creator rug history+40
Yellow flags
Not fatal on their own, but they stack. Two or three together is a pattern.
- Transfer fee+10
- LP partially locked+12
- Top-10 concentration+20
- Bundle buyers at launch+20
- Sniper supply+15
- Low liquidity+15
Context
Smaller signals that nudge the number and round out the picture.
- Low holder count+8
Where the data comes from
Authorities, holders and token extensions are read straight from the chain via Helius. Liquidity, pools and price come from DexScreener and GeckoTerminal. The insider / smart-money overlay is matched against a wallet list we maintain by hand. When a data source is slow or down, the affected section degrades on its own rather than faking a number.
What a clean scan is not
A good verdict means the common, mechanical ways a token rugs aren't present right now. It can't promise a team won't turn malicious later, catch off-chain risks, or predict the market. Treat it as one strong input, size positions you can afford to lose, and never trade on a single number, ours included.
