Observation coverage
We checked a broad set of core on-chain indicators. Unchecked indicators are neither risky nor safe.

📊 Of the 25,923 tokens we have inspected, 4% 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).

Can you sell? — You can sell now, but sell-blocking mechanisms exist

Mechanisms an owner could use to block sells — transfer pause, blacklist, cooldown — were found. It can turn into a honeypot at any time.

Collection & verification method →

Risk signals (probability contribution)

HIGH Owner can arbitrarily change wallet balances +50

The owner can arbitrarily change wallet balances, effectively zeroing out holders' tokens.

⚖️ Co-observed fact: ownership is renounced and neither a hidden-owner nor an ownership-reclaim signal was observed, so we judge it likely that no one is left to execute this function and have lowered the risk tier. However, if the function is tied to a non-owner address such as the creator or an admin, it may still be effective regardless of the renouncement, so the signal itself is kept.

HIGH Transfers can be paused — trading can be frozen (risk reduced by renounced ownership) +8

Transfers can be paused, letting the operator freeze trading.

HIGH Trading tax can be changed at will (risk reduced by renounced ownership) +8

The trading tax can be changed later, enabling a trap that spikes the tax after launch.

MEDIUM Trading cooldown restriction present +10

A forced wait between trades can constrain your sell timing.

MEDIUM Transaction limit (anti-whale) can be changed at will (risk reduced by renounced ownership) +4

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

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) (0 days) +24

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

🟢 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 Ownership renounced — owner-only powers cannot be exercised

Ownership was transferred to a burn address, so no one can call owner-only functions such as minting or pausing.

GOOD Not mintable — supply is fixed

No additional tokens can be minted, so there is no supply-dilution risk.

⚖️ However, a balance-change privilege exists, so holdings could be manipulated even without additional minting.

GOOD Source code verified and published

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

GOOD Sells work normally (not a honeypot)

A static check found no sell-blocking configuration. This reflects a code/configuration check, not an actual trade run — cross-checking via a real sell simulation is shown separately as the 'second-source cross-check' item.

GOOD No blacklist function

There is no function to arbitrarily block specific wallets from trading.

GOOD Liquidity (LP) locked (Locked 100%)

The liquidity is locked, so the risk of the operator pulling liquidity in a rug 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 (all pairs) $54,962 1 trading pairs combined
Total 24h volume (all pairs) $647,433 1 trading pairs combined

Main pair (deepest pool) liquidity $54,962 (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.
