Is Snowbank a scam?
EXTREME RISK · 77/100Snowbank (SB) has an automated risk score of 77/100 — extreme risk. Snowbank is controlled by a very small number of wallets: On-chain: the top 10 holders control 94.4% 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 97% from its all-time high — among the deepest drawdowns we measure. Near-zero volume (0.00% of MCap) — coin is effectively illiquid, exit is nearly impossible.

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
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

What the contract allows
Avalanche · measured 2026-09-10
Snowbank’s deployed contract grants its owner 1 privilege that can affect your position. These are properties of the code itself, not allegations about anyone’s conduct — many legitimate projects retain them deliberately.
Owner can mint new tokens
Supply is not fixed; new tokens can be created, diluting existing holders.
Checked and not present: change any wallet balance, pause all transfers, blacklist wallets, 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
99.7%
including custodial
Largest private wallets
94.4%
after excluding 1
1 of Snowbank’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 5.3 points. We report the private-wallet figure because that is the supply someone can actually choose to sell today.
Wallets excluded from the top 10
| Address | Classified as | Label | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x8578…99ad | Staking contract | Snowbank DAO: Staking | 5.27% |
Classification applied to the 100 holder records returned for this contract; 99 remained after exclusions · measured 2026-08-31. 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.
