Audit Score Calculation
How the CLOBr audit score works: what it checks, how it's weighted, and what the numbers mean.
What is the Audit Score?
The CLOBr Audit Score rates token safety from 0-100 based on on-chain metrics. Higher score = lower rug-pull risk and better tokenomics.
Score Interpretation
- 85-100 (Green): Minimal risk factors
- 65-84 (Orange): Some concerning factors -- dig deeper
- 0-64 (Red): High risk, proceed with caution
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
Means the creator keeps indefinite authority over the token. rStock and xStock tokens always score 0 here.
2. Mint Authority Disabled (15 points)
- Full Points (15): Mint authority is disabled
- Zero Points (0): Mint authority is enabled
If enabled, the creator can mint unlimited new tokens and dilute everyone else.
3. Freeze Authority Disabled (15 points)
- Full Points (15): Freeze authority is disabled
- Zero Points (0): Freeze authority is enabled
If enabled, the creator can freeze token accounts and prevent 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
More dev holdings = more dump risk.
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
Concentrated ownership means a few wallets control the price.
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
Serial launchers often dump one token and move to the next. Many migrations is a red flag.
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
Snipers grabbed a big chunk at launch. Coordinated dumps become more likely.
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
- This is a risk signal, not a safety guarantee or investment advice
- High score = better on-chain metrics. It doesn't eliminate market risk, team risk, etc.
- Low score means do more research before touching it
- Use this alongside other analysis, not by itself
- Scores reflect data at time of calculation -- token metrics can change
