What the terms in token reports mean and why they matter before you buy.
- Mint authorityThe power to create new tokens. As long as someone holds it, the total supply can grow at any moment.
- Freeze authorityThe power to freeze tokens in someone else's wallet. Frozen tokens cannot be sold.
- Honeypot: you can buy, you can't sellA token whose code blocks selling or taxes it at close to 100%. Money goes in but cannot come out.
- Rug pullWhen a token's creators or large holders take buyers' money in one move and the price drops close to zero.
- Bonding curveA contract that buys and sells a token along a fixed formula: the more has been bought, the higher the price.
- Price impactHow much of the price your trade eats because the pool holds little money.
- Liquidity to market capWhat percentage of market cap sits in the pools. That is the money you could actually get when selling.
- Holder concentrationWhat share of the supply sits in the largest wallets. The higher it is, the more the price depends on a few people's decisions.
- Possibly related walletsWallets that share signs of common origin. They may belong to one person or not — it is a heuristic, not proof.
- Upgradeable proxy contractA contract whose code can be swapped. It may be fair today and behave differently after an upgrade.
