What Is a Solana Token Trust Score?

Understanding on-chain trust signals

A Trust Score is a number between 0 and 100 summarizing observable on-chain risk signals for a newly launched Solana token. A higher score means fewer negative signals were detected. It is a data aggregation tool — not a safety guarantee or investment rating.

The Six Scoring Factors

Liquidity Health (max 25 pts)

Measures liquidity pool depth in USD. Tokens below $5,000 in liquidity score zero — thin pools are easier to drain and have higher price impact per trade.

Holder Distribution (max 20 pts)

Evaluates holder count and the percentage held by the top 10 wallets. High concentration in few wallets increases manipulation risk.

LP Lock Status (max 20 pts)

Whether liquidity provider tokens are locked. Unlocked LP is the most common rug pull mechanism — the creator can drain the pool instantly. Locked LP scores full points.

Mint & Freeze Authority (max 15 pts)

Whether the token creator has disabled the ability to mint new tokens or freeze wallets. Active authorities are risk signals; disabled authorities score higher.

Volume Authenticity (max 10 pts)

Examines the volume-to-liquidity ratio and buy/sell balance. Extreme ratios may indicate wash trading — artificial activity to attract attention.

RugCheck Risk Score (max 10 pts)

The independent risk score from RugCheck, inverted so that lower raw risk contributes more points.

What the Score Cannot Tell You

  • Whether the token team is legitimate
  • Whether the token price will rise or fall
  • Whether the token is a scam (sophisticated projects can pass filters)
  • Off-chain information such as social media credibility or developer history

FAQ

Does a high score mean a token is safe?

No. A high score means fewer negative on-chain signals were detected. New information may emerge as the token ages. Always conduct your own research.

Why do new tokens often score low?

New tokens commonly have few holders, low liquidity, and active mint/freeze authorities — all of which lower the score. This does not automatically mean they are scams.

How often is the score updated?

The Trust Score is computed once at initial discovery. Underlying metrics are updated by the scanner every 5 minutes.
