RISK MODEL v1

A risk score you can read the reasoning of.

Every token gets a 0–100 risk score. It is additive, transparent and conservative: each signal has a fixed weight and a plain-English explanation, every report says which checks actually ran, and nothing is ever labelled "safe".

// HOW THE NUMBER IS BUILT

Start at 15. Add for red flags. Subtract a little for green ones.

+40
critical
+20
high
+10
medium
+4
low
−5
positive

Clamped to 0–100. Levels: low <25 · moderate <50 · high <75 · critical ≥75. A honeypot, editable balances or a ≥50% sell tax forces the score to at least 90. If contract checks could not run, +5 is added because an unknown contract is itself a risk, and the report says so in coverage.notes.

// CONTRACT CHECKS · source: GoPlus Security

What the contract can do to you.

!Honeypot

Token cannot be sold after purchase. Critical — floors the score at 90 regardless of anything else.

!Owner can edit balances

Contract lets the owner rewrite holder balances. Critical.

!Extreme sell tax (≥50%)

Functionally a honeypot. Critical. 10–50% is high; any tax is noted.

!Mintable supply

A live mint function means supply can be inflated at will. High.

!Hidden or reclaimable owner

Ownership looks renounced but isn't, or can be taken back. High.

!Not verified / self-destruct

Unpublished source, or a kill switch for the whole contract. High.

!Pausable, blacklist, proxy

Owner can halt transfers, block wallets, or swap the logic. Medium.

!Holder concentration

Top-10 wallets ≥80% is high, ≥50% medium. Creator ≥20% and <100 holders also flagged.

!LP not locked or burned

Less than half the liquidity-provider tokens are locked or burned, so liquidity can be pulled. Medium.

// MARKET SIGNALS · sources: CoinGecko, GeckoTerminal

What the market says about it.

◆Micro / small cap

Under $100k is high; under $1M is medium. Over $1B is a positive signal.

◆Illiquid or wash-traded

Under $10k daily volume is high. Volume above 3× market cap is medium (possible wash trading).

◆Shallow DEX liquidity

Under $25k in tracked pools is high — large slippage, easy to rug.

◆Age

Under 7 days since first pool or genesis is high; under 90 days is low. Over a year is positive.

◆Volatility & drawdown

±50% in 24h or ≥95% below all-time high is medium.

◆Low float

Under 20% of supply circulating means large future unlocks. Medium.

// PROVENANCE

Who is behind it.

◆No website or socials

No verifiable project presence. Medium.

◆Public code repository

Positive signal.

◆Exchange listing

Listed on a centralised exchange implies some due diligence. Positive.

◆Meme category

Sentiment-driven. Low.

What it cannot tell you

Whether the price will go up. Whether the team is honest. Whether a contract has a novel exploit the scanners haven't seen. Whether a token is legal to hold where you live. A low score means no known red flags in the data we have — nothing more.
