Risk Score
HIGH RISK
Driven primarily by price volatility (15 of 15 points). Every contributing factor is itemised below.
measured 2026-10-24 · 6 factors evaluated
Here is what the public data shows about Forest Protocol, ordered by how strongly each factor contributes to the score:
- Price Volatility: 123.2% swing in 24h — an extreme one-day move.
- Supply Structure: Only 8.1% in free float — most of the supply is not yet circulating, so the price is set by a small share of it and future releases could dilute holders.
- Volume Anomaly: Volume is 105% of market cap — more than the whole market cap traded in a day, which is unusual.
- Drawdown From All-Time High: Down 77% from its all-time high — a major sustained decline.
These are automated, opinion-based indicators from public data — not financial advice or an allegation of wrongdoing. See our methodology.
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.
A large short-term price move on volume that is high relative to market cap. A description of the market data, not a finding that anyone coordinated it
Reported 24-hour volume exceeds the market cap. We measure the ratio only and cannot attribute it to any party
Most of the total supply is not yet circulating; future releases would dilute holders if demand does not grow with them
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
13/20
65%
24-hour volume compared with market cap. Very high turnover can reflect genuine news-driven trading or inflated volume; very low turnover means the price is rarely tested. We measure the ratio and cannot attribute it to any party.
Market Cap Risk
Market Structure
7/15
47%
Market capitalisation. The smaller the asset, the less capital it takes to move its price.
Supply Structure
Tokenomics
16/20
80%
Free float (circulating vs total/max supply). A low float means much of the supply has yet to reach the market, so the price is set by a small share of it and future releases could dilute holders. Estimated from reported supply; holder data read from the chain is scored separately.
Price Volatility
Price Action
15/15
100%
24-hour price change. Large one-day moves happen for many reasons, including news and thin liquidity; this measures the size of the move, not its cause.

No on-chain holder measurement for Forest Protocol
The score above is derived from public market data only. We have not measured this asset’s top-10 holder concentration — our on-chain scan covers ERC-20-style tokens on seven EVM chains above $50M market cap, so native coins (such as Bitcoin) and tokens on unsupported chains are out of scope. The absence of a concentration figure is not a clean bill of health — it means the check was not performed.
You can run the same analysis yourself on any contract address with our free token checker, or read exactly what we measure in the methodology.
