Risk Score

How the Solana Tracker token risk score works — rug pull signals, freeze and mint authority checks, top holder concentration, and bundler detection.

The Risk Score API evaluates token investment risk across multiple factors, generating a normalized score from 1-10 to help users make informed trading decisions on Solana.

Risk Categories

Risk factors are organized into four severity-based categories:

Warning Factors

Potential issues requiring attention but may have legitimate explanations

Danger Factors

Significant red flags indicating high risk or potential malicious activity

Liquidity Factors

Token liquidity and holder concentration issues

Snipers & Insiders

Early buyer and insider wallet concentration risks

Scoring Methodology

Final risk scores are normalized to 1-10 based on the sum of individual risk factor weights. Higher scores indicate higher risk.

The tables below show internal weights for each signal. The API combines those weights, then converts the total into the final 1-10 score. Treat the table scores as relative strength, not as the final user-facing score.

Warning Risk Factors

Risk Factor	Description	Score
No social media	Token has no associated social media links	2000
No file metadata	Token has no file metadata	100
Pump.fun contract risks	Pump.fun contracts can be changed by Pump.fun at any time	10
Incomplete bonding curve	No Raydium liquidity pool, bonding curve not complete	4000
Transitioning to Raydium	Token is currently transitioning to Raydium	100
Price decrease	Price decreased by more than 50% in the last 24 hours	1000
Suspicious Volume	High percentage of buy transactions indicating possible manipulation. Score scales with severity.	1000-10000

Danger Risk Factors

Risk Factor	Description	Score
Freeze Authority Enabled	Tokens can be frozen and prevented from trading in the future	7500
Mint Authority Enabled	More tokens can be minted by the owner at any time	2500
Rugged	No liquidity remains, so Rugcheck considers the token unsafe to buy	20000
LP not burned or not locked	Liquidity can still be removed by the owner or deployer	4000
