Risk Flag Methodology
Understand how AlphaTrail presents token risk flags, their limitations, and the checks researchers should verify independently.
What a flag means
A flag identifies a condition that may warrant additional review. It is neither a fraud determination nor a guarantee of loss.
Inputs
Depending on data availability, checks can consider authorities, liquidity, holder distribution, transaction behavior, market structure, and public project information.
False positives and omissions
Legitimate tokens may trigger warnings, while harmful tokens may avoid known patterns. Related wallets and off-chain arrangements are especially difficult to identify reliably.
Manual verification
Recheck current contract state, liquidity, holder composition, and source timestamps using independent tools before relying on any displayed field.
