Advanced Safety Metrics Explained
When you run /sniff, Cobi returns a quick safety summary — but what do all these numbers and flags really mean? Here’s a deep‑dive into each one:
📊 Top 10 Holders
How it’s calculated:
GoPlus returns a list of the largest token holders by percentage.
We take the top 10 addresses, sum their % ownership, and render a 20‑block progress bar.
Why it matters:
High concentration (>50 %) means a handful of wallets control most supply — they could dump large amounts and crash the price.
Low concentration (<30 %) indicates a more distributed token, reducing single‑party risk.
What to look for:
Aim for < 30 % if you want “safer” distribution.
Anything above 50 % warrants caution: those wallets could be whales or the project team.
💸 Buy Tax | Sell Tax
What they are: Fees imposed on every buy or sell transaction.
Buy tax is deducted when you purchase.
Sell tax is deducted when you offload.
Why they matter:
High taxes (e.g. > 5 %) can lock your funds in or dramatically increase slippage.
Zero or low taxes encourage healthy trading.
Red flags:
Taxes above 10 % often signal a “liquidity lock” or team‑exit mechanism.
Sudden changes to tax rates (check owner activity) can be used to trap holders.
🧯 Risk Flags
Each flag is ✅ (safe/false) or ❌ (risky/true).
Honeypot
❌ means buys succeed but sells are blocked. 🔎 If flagged, you won’t be able to exit your position!
Blacklisted
❌ indicates certain addresses can’t trade. 🔎 Often used to freeze “undesirable” holders — could be used maliciously.
Can Mint
❌ means contract has a mint function. 🔎 Unlimited minting dilutes existing holders and can be used for rug pulls.
Can Change Balance
❌ means owner can arbitrarily change any wallet’s token balance. 🔎 This is a serious backdoor — your balance could be zeroed out.
Hidden Owner
❌ means ownership is obscured (no public owner() address).
🔎 If you can’t see who controls the contract, you can’t verify if they’ve renounced.
Proxy Contract
❌ means the contract is upgradeable via a proxy. 🔎 While upgradability allows fixes, it also lets admins completely rewrite logic (potential rug pull).
Anti‑Whale Modifiable
❌ means owner can change anti‑whale limits. 🔎 They could suddenly restrict large holders or exempt themselves, undermining fairness.
Airdrop Scam
❌ indicates patterns like mass empty‑wallet airdrops. 🔎 Scammers sometimes airdrop worthless tokens, then drain wallets via approval scams.
Trading Disabled
❌ if buying or selling can be programmatically disabled. 🔎 Admin can freeze trading markets at will, trapping or halting holders.
Verified Contract
✅ means source code is published & matches the on‑chain bytecode. 🔎 Verified contracts let you audit logic yourself or via third‑party reports.
In DEX
✅ means the token is actively traded on a recognized DEX. 🔎 Presence in DEX shows live liquidity; absence could mean off‑market or brand‑new token.
Putting It All Together
After /sniff, scan these in order:
Top 10 Holders — confirm distribution isn’t too concentrated.
Buy/Sell Taxes — ensure fees are low enough for your trading style.
Risk Flags — any ❌ flag is a potential deal‑breaker; treat multiple ❌ flags as high risk.
This guide should help you make sense of the safety snapshot Cobi provides — but ALWAYS do your own on‑chain checks before diving in!
