Risk Report
Cryptocurrency carries risk. Every project listed on this site, regardless of its score, operates in a volatile and largely unregulated market. Tokens can lose most or all of their value. A high score reflects lower structural risk based on the data we can measure. It does not mean a project is safe, that the price will hold, or that losses are unlikely. Always research independently and never commit money you cannot afford to lose.
Liquidity and market dynamics score 89 out of 100. The token shows strong market activity with a volume-to-market-cap ratio of 3.93% and healthy liquidity depth based on 24h volume of about $16,677,206. Exchange listing data is broad, with presence on 53 exchanges and 24 green and 26 yellow classifications, with no red entries, supporting robust tradability and reduced single-venue concentration risk.
Team credibility score 70 out of 100. Public records indicate the project is about 3.4 years old and a high number of audits, with 6 audit firm(s) on record and a whitepaper rated high. The main limitation is team transparency, since the team is anonymous (team doxxed score 25). Overall, the record supports reasonable diligence, but anonymous leadership keeps informational risk elevated.
Social and behavioral signals score 46 out of 100. Social analytics feed coverage is limited, but linked Twitter and Telegram accounts exist, while sentiment is balanced at 50% up and 50% down. Risk signal enrichment shows no allegations, but there are 2 bad press items, 1 regulatory mention, and 1 incident, which keeps the social risk profile in the middle range. The lack of a full analytics snapshot reduces confidence in trend-based conclusions.
Contract mechanics score 92 out of 100. Security and functionality checks look strong: contracts are verified, honeypot checks show no honeypot behavior, the code is open source, and ownership safety checks score 100, including balances locked. Trading tax is 0.0% on both buy and sell, and hidden functions checks score 100, indicating hidden or pausable or blacklist features are accounted for. Key negatives come from mintability (mint authority score 50) and the absence of a hard supply cap (supply cap defined score 50), which can allow inflation.
Inherent crypto risk for this asset: even with strong contract safety and high liquidity, the token is mintable and has no hard supply cap, which can dilute existing holders over time. Also, only 49% of supply is circulating, so supply unlock dynamics could affect price volatility. As with any smart contract token, operational, governance, or market-cycle risks can still lead to adverse outcomes despite solid verification signals.
