Drawdown From All-Time High
Price Action
20/25
80%
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.

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

Small market caps can be trivially manipulated by a single large holder (whale)
Supply Structure
Tokenomics
3/20
15%
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).

What the contract allows
Base · measured 2026-09-09
We checked Nockchain’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.
