Liquidity 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.
Liquidity depth is the amount of money sitting in a token's trading pool, available to trade against right now. On a decentralised exchange it is usually expressed in dollars: a pool with $80,000 of liquidity has roughly that much capital backing both sides of the market.
It is the most direct answer to the only question that matters when you want out: can I actually sell this, and at what price? A quoted price assumes someone is there to take the other side. Liquidity depth is the measure of whether they are.
Price impact scales against depth. On a $10,000 pool, a $1,000 sell is a tenth of the market and moves the price hard against you. On a $2,000,000 pool the same order is invisible.
This is why a token can show a price you cannot get. The number on the chart is the last trade, not a promise about the next one. When depth is thin, the gap between the two widens exactly when you most want it not to — during a sell-off, when everyone is reaching for the same exit.
Depth also decays. A pool is not a fixed quantity: it is capital that someone chose to provide and can choose to withdraw. Thin depth today can be no depth tomorrow.
This is the actual curve used to score liquidity depth on every token page and in the risk tool. Scores run 0 to 100, where higher means more risk.

Across 18 tokens covered by this site, median liquidity at the time of coverage was $61,494. Ten weeks later, 50% of them had no tradeable pair at all, and the median change in liquidity was -96%.
Nothing here is financial advice. A low score means the measurable indicators look unremarkable; it does not mean a token is safe. See how this site works.
