How DegenKit Scanner Scores a Solana Token
DegenKit's Scanner gives any Solana token a 0–100 risk score. Here is exactly what it checks, how many points each finding costs and what the score can't tell you.

DegenKit's Scanner takes a Solana mint address and returns a score from 0 to 100, where higher means fewer red flags. It is a quick first look, not a verdict. This guide explains every point.
What Scanner reads
When you paste a mint, Scanner reads public data:
- The mint account — whether the mint and freeze authority are still set.
- The metadata account — whether the name, symbol and image can still be changed.
- The largest holders — from Solana's
getTokenLargestAccounts, which returns the largest token accounts. - Trading pairs — a best-effort check with DEX Screener for whether a tradable pair exists and roughly how much liquidity it has.
How the score is calculated
Every token starts at 100. Each finding subtracts points:
- Mint authority still active: −35. Someone can create more tokens.
- Freeze authority still active: −25. Someone can freeze holders' token accounts.
- Metadata can still be changed: −15. The name, symbol or image could change after you buy.
- Top holder above 50% of supply: −15. Above 20%: −8.
- Top 10 holders above 80%: −10. Above 50%: −5.
- No tradable pair found: −10.
The score never goes below 0.
How to read the label
- 80–100: Low risk.
- 50–79: Medium risk.
- 0–49: High risk — may be a rug pull.
A worked example: a token with mint and freeze revoked and locked metadata, where the largest holder has 30% and the top ten hold 60%, scores 100 − 8 − 5 = 87, low risk. The same token with freeze authority still active scores 62, medium.
What the score can't see
Scanner's own note says it plainly: the score is a heuristic based on on-chain authorities and holder distribution. It does not verify:
- whether liquidity is locked or burned;
- team allocations or vesting;
- anyone's intentions off-chain.
It also counts every large token account, including liquidity pools. A big pool can push the top-holder figures up without anything being wrong. Our bubblemap guide explains how to tell a pool from a person.
For creators: score well by default
Tokens created on DegenKit start with mint and freeze authority revoked and metadata locked, unless you turned those settings off. That removes the 75 points of deductions buyers worry about most. The rest depends on how you distribute the supply and whether you open a pool.
Questions people ask
Why did the liquidity line say "unknown"?
The pair check relies on DEX Screener. If it can't be reached, Scanner says so and doesn't subtract points.
Does Scanner work on Devnet?
Yes. It reads whichever network the launcher is set to.
Wrap up
Scanner starts at 100 and subtracts for live authorities, editable metadata, concentrated holders and a missing pair. Read the label, then check what it can't see. Scan a token on DegenKit.
