Audit Score Calculation
Learn how CLOBr calculates the security audit score for Solana tokens and what each metric means for your trading decisions.
What is the Audit Score?
The CLOBr Audit Score is a comprehensive security rating (0-100) that evaluates token safety based on multiple on-chain metrics. A higher score indicates a more secure token with lower rug-pull risk and better tokenomics.
Score Interpretation
- 85-100 (Green): Excellent security profile, minimal risk factors
- 65-84 (Orange): Moderate security, some concerning factors present
- 0-64 (Red): Significant security concerns, high risk
Critical Security Flags
The following flags result in an automatic score of 0, indicating extreme risk:
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| Blockaid: Rugpull | Token has been flagged by Blockaid as a potential or confirmed rugpull |
| Blockaid: Honeypot | Token appears to allow buys but prevents sells (honeypot scam) |
| Blockaid: Wash Trading | Significant artificial trading volume detected |
| Blockaid: Hidden Key Holder | Hidden control mechanisms or undisclosed authority keys detected |
| Known Rugger | One or more top holders are known scammers from previous rugs |
| Is Sus | Token exhibits multiple suspicious characteristics |
Scoring Rubric
If no critical flags are present, the score is calculated from the following weighted components (total: 100 points):
1. Permanent Control (10 points)
- Full Points (10): Permanent control is disabled or not present
- Zero Points (0): Permanent control is enabled
Permanent control allows the token creator to maintain indefinite authority over the token, which is a red flag for centralization. rStock and xStock tokens will always score 0 here.
2. Mint Authority Disabled (15 points)
- Full Points (15): Mint authority is disabled
- Zero Points (0): Mint authority is enabled
When mint authority is enabled, the creator can mint unlimited new tokens, diluting existing holders.
3. Freeze Authority Disabled (15 points)
- Full Points (15): Freeze authority is disabled
- Zero Points (0): Freeze authority is enabled
Freeze authority allows the creator to freeze token accounts, preventing holders from selling.
4. Dev Balance Percentage (10 points)
- Full Points (10): Dev holds <1% of supply
- Zero Points (0): Dev holds >5% of supply
- Scaled: Linear interpolation between 1% and 5%
- N/A: If data unavailable, full points awarded
High dev holdings increase the risk of price manipulation or large-scale dumping.
5. Top 10 Holders Percentage (25 points)
- Full Points (25): Top 10 hold <20% of supply
- Zero Points (0): Top 10 hold >60% of supply
- Scaled: Linear interpolation between 20% and 60%
- N/A: If data unavailable, half points (12.5) awarded
Highly concentrated token ownership indicates centralization risk and potential for price manipulation.
6. Dev Migrations (10 points)
- Full Points (10): ≤1 dev migration
- Zero Points (0): >10 dev migrations
- Scaled: Linear interpolation between 1 and 10
- N/A: If data unavailable, full points awarded
Multiple dev migrations can indicate a serial launcher and potential for a token dump before they move on to the next one.
7. Snipers Holding Percentage (15 points)
- Full Points (15): Snipers hold <0.5% of supply
- Zero Points (0): Snipers hold >5% of supply
- Scaled: Linear interpolation between 0.5% and 5%
- N/A: If data unavailable, full points awarded
High sniper holdings indicate that early buyers acquired a significant portion of the supply, potentially enabling coordinated dumps.
Example Calculation
Token XYZ Audit Breakdown
- ✓ No permanent control: 10 pts
- ✓ Mint authority disabled: 15 pts
- ✓ Freeze authority disabled: 15 pts
- ~ Dev balance: 2.5% (scaled): 6.25 pts
- ~ Top 10 holders: 35% (scaled): 15.625 pts
- ✓ Dev migrations: 0: 10 pts
- ✓ Snipers holding: 0.3%: 15 pts
Total Score: 87 / 100
Rating: Green - Excellent security
Important Notes
- The Audit Score is a risk assessment tool, not a guarantee of token safety or investment advice
- A high score indicates better security metrics but does not eliminate all risks (market conditions, team decisions, etc.)
- A low score is a warning signal to conduct additional research before trading
- Always combine the Audit Score with other analysis tools and your own due diligence
- Token metrics can change over time - scores are based on data at the time of calculation
