Data Methodology

Data Sources

We combine three independent data sources for each discovered token:

• DexScreener — Provides real-time pair data including liquidity depth, 24-hour trading volume, price, market cap, transaction counts (buys/sells), and price change percentages. DexScreener aggregates data from Solana DEXes including Raydium, Orca, and PumpSwap.
• Helius (Solana RPC) — Provides on-chain data including token holder distribution, mint authority status, and freeze authority status directly from the Solana blockchain.
• RugCheck — Provides an independent risk assessment score and identifies specific risk factors such as locked liquidity percentage, token metadata mutability, and known risk patterns.

Scanner Frequency

Our token scanner runs automatically every 5 minutes via a scheduled job. Each run fetches recently launched Solana pairs from DexScreener, filters them through our hard filter criteria, and stores qualifying tokens with their full analysis in our database.

Tokens are displayed on the platform for up to 60 minutes after their initial discovery. After 60 minutes, tokens are retired from the live dashboard — they may still be accessible via their direct token page.

Hard Filters

Before a token is stored or displayed, it must pass several minimum criteria. Tokens that fail any hard filter are excluded entirely:

• Minimum liquidity: $1,000 USD
• Minimum holder count: 2 unique wallets
• Maximum holder concentration: top-10 wallets combined must hold less than 98% of supply
• Volume-to-liquidity ratio must be below 150× (extreme ratios indicate wash trading)

Tokens that fail these filters are never displayed. This is a minimum quality threshold, not a safety guarantee.

Trust Score (0–100)

The Trust Score aggregates 6 weighted on-chain factors into a single 0–100 score. A higher score indicates fewer detected red flags. The score is computed at discovery time and is not continuously updated.

Risk levels are assigned as follows: LOW (≥80), MODERATE (60–79), HIGH (40–59), VERY HIGH (<40).

⚠ The Trust Score is an informational data tool. A high score does not mean a token is safe or represents a worthwhile investment. Always conduct your own research.

Momentum Score (0–100)

The Momentum Score measures the intensity of early on-chain activity for a newly launched token. It is entirely based on observable transaction data, not price predictions.

• Volume Acceleration (max 30 pts) — What percentage of 24h volume occurred in the last hour
• Buy Pressure (max 30 pts) — Buy-to-sell transaction ratio weighted toward the most recent hour
• Holder Growth Proxy (max 25 pts) — Recent buy transactions relative to existing holder count
• Liquidity Depth (max 15 pts) — Liquidity as a percentage of market cap

Levels: COLD (<30), WARMING (30–54), HOT (55–79), EXPLOSIVE (≥80). High momentum does not indicate a token is safe or worth buying.

Smart Money Detection

The Smart Money feature tracks wallets that have been identified as historically high-performance based on on-chain activity patterns. When these wallets appear in the early transaction history of a new token, the platform flags this as a signal.

Smart Money data is based on our internal wallet profile database. This database is not comprehensive. Many high-quality wallets may not be tracked. The presence or absence of smart money signals does not indicate whether a token is safe.

Missing or Unavailable Data

When data is unavailable, we handle it as follows:

• Missing Helius holder data: conservative fallback values are used (does not inflate scores)
• Missing RugCheck report: a neutral risk score of 35/100 is assumed
• Missing price or market cap: displayed as "–" in the interface
• API timeouts: the scanner continues without the unavailable data source

Important Limitations

• Our filters cannot detect all scam tokens. Sophisticated rugs can pass initial screening.
• Data may have delays of up to 5 minutes due to scanner frequency.
• On-chain data reflects what is verifiable on Solana. Off-chain claims (team identity, project purpose) are not verified.
• Liquidity and price data can change rapidly. Displayed data may be stale by the time you view it.
• Smart Money wallet profiles are based on historical patterns that may not predict future behavior.
