Each of these explains one signal the risk model measures: what it is, why it matters, the exact curve used to score it, and how to check it yourself.
Liquidity depth: what it means and why it decides your exitLiquidity depth is the money available to trade against. It decides whether you can sell at the quoted price, and it is the single most direct measure of exit risk.Locked liquidity: what it protects against, and what it does notLocked liquidity means the pool cannot be withdrawn by whoever created it. It is the single clearest defence against a rug pull, and it is routinely misread as a guarantee of safety.Mint authority, freeze authority and contract ownership explainedContract permissions decide what a token's creator can still do to it after launch: mint new supply, freeze your balance, or change the rules. Here is what each one means.Why a token's pool age predicts risk better than its priceMost catastrophic token failures happen within hours of the pool being created. Pair age is the cheapest risk signal available and the one most often ignored.Volume against liquidity: spotting recycled and wash-traded activityWhen 24-hour volume runs many times a pool's liquidity, the same money is being cycled repeatedly. Sometimes that is genuine interest. Often it is manufactured.Holder concentration: when one wallet can end the marketIf a single wallet holds a large share of supply, that holder's decision to sell matters more than everything else combined. Here is how to read distribution.Liquidity to market cap: what the ratio tells you about a valuationA large market cap resting on a small pool means the valuation is mostly notional. The liquidity-to-market-cap ratio is how you measure that.Buy and sell ratios: what order flow does and does not tell youThe split between buys and sells is the most visible sentiment signal on a DEX and one of the weakest. Here is how much weight it deserves.
