Observation coverage
Few indicators were checked. This means data is sparse, and the absence of risk signals does not guarantee safety. Unchecked indicators are neither risky nor safe.

📊 Of the 23,315 tokens we have inspected, 5% score a higher risk than this coin. — This is a relative position within the sample we inspected, which was built by deliberately hunting scams and rugs, so it is not a general market distribution. A ranking is not a statement of safety.

This assessment is an uncalibrated estimate of fraud patterns — not a price or investment judgment.

Axis cards show where signals are, not a per-axis score — the %p contribution is a simple sum, while the actual combine uses diminishing returns (overlaps add less).

Collection & verification method →

Risk signals (probability contribution)

MEDIUM Upgradeable proxy — contract logic can change +12

This is an upgradeable proxy, so the contract logic can change after launch.

MEDIUM Transaction limit (anti-whale) can be changed at will +10

The transaction limit can be changed at will, even down to a sell limit of zero.

MEDIUM Ownership not renounced — owner powers remain (0x660eaaedebc968f8f3694354fa8ec0b4c5ba8d12) +12

Owner powers are still active, so the owner-only functions listed above can actually be exercised.

⚖️ In projects that keep distributing rewards or airdrops, this is a common design. Even so, the fact that the privilege exists is unchanged, and the risk does not disappear.

HIGH Supply concentrated in a few wallets (Max single holding 100.0%) +35

A few wallets monopolize the supply, so a single sell-off could collapse the price.

LOW Trading pair created less than 3 days ago (new) (2 days) +6

The trading pair was created recently, so there is little history and a high risk of an early rug.

HIGH Impersonates a well-known coin's symbol (not the official contract) ('USDC' suspected impersonation) +38

It borrows a famous coin's symbol but is not that coin's official contract address. Impersonating a well-known asset is a textbook scam tactic.

🟢 Positive signals (Green Flags)

These are observed facts, not approvals — appearing on a listing or data service means a profile exists there, not that anyone vetted the project.

GOOD Source code verified and published

The contract source is public and verified, so anyone can check its behavior.

⚖️ However, this is an upgradeable proxy: the owner can swap the implementation, so this fact can change at any time — it is an observation now, not a promise.

GOOD Ample liquidity ($100,023)

Liquidity is deep, so the risk of price shock or difficulty exiting is low.

Web reputation & whitepaper check (optional · about 10s)

The score above is based on on-chain indicators. This button searches the public web now for scam allegations and whitepaper content (no re-run of the on-chain check). Web search is paid and slow, so we do not run it automatically on every token — only manually when needed. Once run, the result is saved and shown automatically from then on. Web allegations are not conclusions, so verify them directly.

Liquidity & volume (for rug-risk judgment · not a price/value assessment)

Total liquidity $100,023 1 trading pairs combined
Total 24h volume $0 1 trading pairs combined

Main pair (deepest pool) liquidity $100,023 (uniswap) · the totals combine every pair on this chain · View pool ↗

⚠ Note the two different bases: the risk score and signals are computed from the main pair alone, while the figures above are the sum of all pairs. A low main-pair pool can therefore raise a "very low liquidity" signal even when the combined total looks large.
