Down 70% from ATH — major decline, recovery is highly unlikely. 23.9% circulating (~76% off-market) — significant future unlocks and concentration risk.

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 small number of insider/team wallets control most of the supply (very low free float). This allows single-hand price control — pinning the price high to drain leveraged short positions via funding, then dumping the entire position for a sudden 90%+ collapse
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.
Price Collapse
Price Action
14/25
56%
Severe ATH drawdown signals exit scams, abandoned projects, or post-pump dumps
Volume Anomaly
Trading Signals

Abnormal volume-to-market-cap ratio is the primary indicator of wash trading or liquidity traps
Market Cap Risk

Small market caps can be trivially manipulated by a single large holder (whale)
Supply Structure
Tokenomics
11/20
55%
Free float (circulating vs total/max supply). A low float means both future dilution from locked reserves and concentration enabling single-hand price control (estimated; verified holder data is scored separately).
Price Volatility

Extreme short-term price swings are a hallmark of coordinated pump-and-dump schemes
On-Chain Holder Concentration
Tokenomics
18/22
82%
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.
