Is ResearchCoin a scam?
EXTREME RISK · 73/100ResearchCoin (RSC) has an automated risk score of 73/100 — extreme risk. ResearchCoin is controlled by a very small number of wallets: On-chain: the top 10 holders control 86.9% 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. Down 95% from ATH — catastrophic collapse indicating likely exit scam. Very low volume (0.60% of MCap) — limited liquidity trap 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.
Price is far below its all-time high while trading with very little liquidity — a pattern common to collapsed and dormant tokens, and also to assets in a long bear market
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
25/25
100%
Severe ATH drawdown signals exit scams, abandoned projects, or post-pump dumps
Volume Anomaly
Trading Signals
8/20
40%
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)
Supply Structure
Tokenomics
0/20
0%
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
Price Action
0/15
0%
Extreme short-term price swings are a hallmark of coordinated pump-and-dump schemes
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.
Transparency Gaps
