Everything you need to know about the platform, how scores work, what flags mean, and how to get the most out of Anti Scam Monitor.

Anti Scam Monitor is a platform that analyzes crypto tokens and assigns them a Trust Score from 0 to 100 based on 9 security categories. Our goal is to help investors identify potential scams before putting their money in.
Every token goes through an automated scan that analyzes the smart contract, token distribution, vesting schedule, on-chain behavior, liquidity, team transparency, audit status, and community. Based on these factors it receives a score — the higher the score, the safer the token.
Anyone. You don't need to be a developer or understand smart contracts. The platform is built for everyday investors who want a quick and reliable check before entering a position.
A score of 60 and above indicates low risk (the token has passed most security checks). A score between 30 and 59 means medium risk, and below 30 means high risk where you should be very cautious.
Popularity and safety are not the same thing. A token can have millions of followers while still having a hidden owner function or an uneven distribution structure. The score measures concrete technical and structural factors, not hype.
Yes. The score is updated whenever relevant data changes — for example if a new audit is submitted, if the tax rate is modified, or if a new on-chain risk is detected.
Token distribution has the highest weight (22 points) followed closely by smart contract security (20 points). If a token has a honeypot or a hidden owner function, those automatically drop the score significantly.
A honeypot is a token where you can buy but cannot sell. The sell function always fails, leaving you stuck with worthless tokens. Our platform detects this automatically.
It means the contract contains a hidden function that allows the deployer to reclaim ownership at any time. This gives them unlimited control over the token even if they claimed to have renounced ownership.
It means the owner can change the transaction tax at any time without a time restriction. The tax could be raised to 99%, effectively blocking any sell transactions.
A CRITICAL flag means there is a direct and provable danger — such as a honeypot, hidden owner, or similar mechanism that almost guarantees loss of funds. A token with a CRITICAL flag should be treated as a scam until proven otherwise.
Some flags are informational and not necessarily deal-breakers. For example, a proxy contract with a 48-hour timelock is recorded as a flag but doesn't cost many points because a protection mechanism is in place. The overall score weighs all factors together.
No. The Trust Score is an analytical tool that helps assess risk based on available data. It is not financial advice and does not guarantee any investment outcome. Always do your own research.
A high score means the token has passed the technical checks we are able to verify. It does not mean the investment is profitable or risk-free. Market risk always exists.
The free plan includes a limited selection of alert types and a limited watchlist size. For all alert types and unlimited watchlist tokens, upgrade to the Pro plan.
Alerts are delivered as push notifications in the app.
Yes. Users can suggest tokens they want to see on the platform. Our team will consider them for future listing.
Trust Score Categories

Checks the most dangerous contract-level vulnerabilities that can result in permanent loss of funds.

Honeypot Detection 6 pts

Simulates a buy and sell transaction to check if the token can actually be sold. A honeypot lets you buy but blocks every sell.

Ownership Safety 4 pts

Checks whether the contract owner has renounced control or retains the ability to change critical parameters at will.

Mint Function 4 pts

Detects if anyone can create new tokens on demand, which would dilute existing holders without warning.

Balance Modifiability 3 pts

Flags contracts that allow an address's balance to be changed externally — a mechanism often used in exit scams.

Contract Verification 3 pts

Checks whether the source code is publicly verified on the blockchain explorer. Unverified contracts cannot be audited by anyone.

Analyses how tokens are allocated and how quickly they enter circulation, which directly affects price stability.

Team Allocation 5 pts

Checks the percentage of total supply reserved for the team. Allocations above 20% raise the risk of insider dumping.

Wallet Concentration 4 pts

Measures how many wallets hold a dominant share of supply. High concentration means a few holders can crash the price.

TGE Unlock Rate 5 pts

Checks what percentage of total supply is unlocked at the Token Generation Event. A large TGE unlock creates immediate sell pressure.

Utility Allocation 4 pts

Evaluates what share of supply is dedicated to ecosystem growth, liquidity, or staking versus speculative or insider categories.

Allocation Completeness 4 pts

Verifies that the sum of all allocation categories accounts for 100% of supply. Missing percentages suggest undisclosed or hidden allocations.

Evaluates whether insider token releases are governed by enforceable time-locks, reducing the risk of sudden dumps.

Vesting Enforcement 6 pts

Checks whether the vesting schedule is enforced on-chain by a smart contract or relies purely on a written promise.

Cliff Period 5 pts

Measures how long insiders must wait before any tokens are released. A longer cliff aligns team incentives with long-term project success.

Monthly Unlock Rate 5 pts

Calculates the percentage of insider tokens that unlock each month. High monthly rates create consistent sell pressure on the market.

Looks at on-chain holder data to identify dangerous concentration or opaque developer wallets.

Liquidity Lock 4 pts

Checks whether the liquidity pool tokens are locked in a smart contract, preventing the team from pulling all liquidity (rug pull).

Top 10 Holder Concentration 4 pts

Measures what percentage of total supply the top 10 wallets hold. Extreme concentration in a few wallets is a common precursor to a dump.

Dev Wallet Transparency 3 pts

Assesses whether developer wallets are publicly disclosed and their activity is consistent with legitimate project management.

Whale Concentration 2 pts

Identifies wallets holding an unusually large share of supply that are not team or liquidity addresses. Whale wallets can move the price significantly.

Detects patterns of coordinated or deceptive trading activity that inflate perceived interest in the token.

Sniper Activity 5 pts

Detects wallets that bought the token within the first few blocks of launch, often bots or insiders who got early access before the public.

Wash Trading 3 pts

Identifies patterns where the same wallet or cluster of wallets trades with itself to simulate volume and create a false impression of demand.

Insider Cluster Activity 2 pts

Looks for groups of wallets funded from the same source that coordinate buying or selling, a common pattern in coordinated manipulation.

Evaluates the practical tradability of the token — whether taxes and liquidity allow normal trading without hidden costs.

Buy Tax 2 pts

Measures the tax applied on every purchase. High buy taxes reduce the effective amount you receive and can signal predatory tokenomics.

Sell Tax 2 pts

Measures the tax applied on every sale. Sell taxes above 10% are a common honeypot-lite tactic that traps capital or discourages exits.

Liquidity / Market Cap Ratio 1 pt

Compares available liquidity to total market cap. A very low ratio means large orders can swing the price dramatically or make exit impossible.

Assesses how much the team has publicly committed to accountability through identity, code review, and community presence.

Team Identity / KYC 2 pts

Checks whether team members are publicly identified or have completed a Know Your Customer verification with a third party.

Security Audit 2 pts

Verifies whether the contract has been audited by a recognized security firm and whether the audit report is publicly available.

Bug Bounty 2 pts

Checks whether the project has an active bug bounty program incentivizing researchers to report vulnerabilities responsibly.

GitHub Activity 1 pt

Looks for a public GitHub repository with recent commits, indicating ongoing development rather than an abandoned project.

Website 1 pt

Confirms the project has a functioning public website with project information, roadmap, or team details.

Twitter / X 1 pt

Checks for an active official Twitter/X account as a signal of public-facing communication and community engagement.

Telegram 1 pt

Verifies the existence of an active Telegram community where the team can be reached and announcements are made.

Discord 1 pt

Checks for an active Discord server as an additional support and governance communication channel.

Checks whether the project has mechanisms that distribute control away from a single point of failure.

Multi-Signature Control 1 pt

Verifies that critical contract functions require approval from multiple keyholders, preventing any single person from unilaterally draining funds.

DAO Governance 1 pt

Checks whether token holders can vote on protocol changes, distributing decision-making power beyond the founding team.

A lightweight signal based on measurable on-chain community growth rather than social media noise.

Holder Growth 1 pt

Tracks the trend in the number of unique wallets holding the token. Consistent organic growth is a positive signal; sudden spikes followed by drops indicate manipulation.
