Is BasedHype a scam?
HIGH RISK · 66/100BasedHype (BASEDHYPE) has an automated risk score of 66/100 — high risk. BasedHype is controlled by a very small number of wallets: On-chain: the top 10 holders control 71.8% of supply (burn and labelled exchange/staking/LP wallets excluded; team/vesting contracts counted) — extreme concentration that allows single-hand price control. With this little distribution, the price can be pinned and dumped at will — the defining trait of a market-manipulation token. Near-zero volume (0.00% of MCap) — coin is effectively illiquid, exit is nearly impossible. Down 83% from its all-time high — a major sustained decline.

Why this asset is flagged as high-risk
The patterns below are automated, opinion-based observations from public market data. They describe statistical risk indicators — not proof of wrongdoing by any project or person.
Very low trading activity relative to size. We measure market data only and do not assess development activity
Verified on-chain: after excluding burn and labelled exchange, staking and liquidity wallets (team/vesting contracts are counted), the top 10 holders control more than half of the supply. This is direct evidence that a handful of wallets can dictate the price and dump it at will
Risk Factor Breakdown
Each factor is scored independently and weighted to calculate the total risk score.
Drawdown From All-Time High
Price Action
14/25
56%
How far the price sits below its peak. Deep drawdowns are common to abandoned and post-collapse tokens, but also to assets in a prolonged bear market — on its own this measures price history, not conduct.
Volume Anomaly
Trading Signals
15/20
75%
Abnormal volume-to-market-cap ratio is the primary indicator of wash trading or liquidity traps
Market Cap Risk
Market Structure
3/15
20%
Small market caps can be trivially manipulated by a single large holder (whale)
On-Chain Holder Concentration
Tokenomics
22/22
100%
Verified holder data. Burn and labelled exchange, staking, bridge and LP wallets are excluded; unlabelled contracts (often team/vesting multisigs) are counted. Over 50% in the top 10 enables single-hand price control.
Not contributing (3): Supply Structure, Price Volatility, Transparency Gaps — 0 points.
Key Metrics
Protect Yourself
- • Never invest more than you can afford to lose entirely

- • Verify the team is public and doxxed
- • Read the smart contract audit before buying
- • Be wary of unrealistic APY promises

What the contract allows
Base · measured 2026-09-14
We checked BasedHype’s deployed contract for all 7 owner privileges below and found none of them. This describes the code only — it says nothing about the team, the treasury, or how the supply is distributed.
Checked and not present: change any wallet balance, pause all transfers, blacklist wallets, mint new tokens, ownership can be reclaimed after renouncing, contract has a hidden owner, contract can self-destruct.
Source code: published and verified, so the deployed bytecode can be independently reviewed.

How we counted holders here
Ten largest wallets
97.9%
including custodial
Largest private wallets
71.8%
after excluding 1
1 of BasedHype’s ten largest holders is a labelled exchange, market-maker, treasury or vesting, liquidity-pool, staking, bridge, multisig or burn address — supply that is custodied, pooled or destroyed rather than sitting in one person’s wallet. Separating it out moves the top-10 figure by 26.1 points. We report the private-wallet figure because that is the supply someone can actually choose to sell today.
Most of BasedHype’s supply therefore sits in the excluded addresses. Burned supply is permanently gone, but treasury, vesting and foundation holdings are excluded too, and those can still reach the market when they unlock — a low private-wallet figure is not the same as a low future sell-side risk.
Wallets excluded from the top 10
| Address | Classified as | Label | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0000…dead | Burn address | Burn Addresses · Burn Address: 0x00...dEaD | 26.60% |
Classification applied to the 100 holder records returned for this contract; 98 remained after exclusions · measured 2026-08-30. Custodial wallets are identified by public address labels, so an unlabelled one may still be counted as private — this correction is a floor, not a guarantee.
