We check when a token's oldest trading pool was created. A token that started trading an hour ago has no track record, no community watching it, and usually no one who has read the code.
The launch window
Scam tokens are built for speed. Launch, pump with bots and paid posts, sell, abandon. Most of it happens inside the first 48 hours. If you're seeing a token for the first time on social media and it's under a day old, you're probably the exit liquidity.
What we flag
- Under 24 hours: serious warning.
- Under 7 days: caution.
- Over a year: green flag. It has survived long enough that a quick rug is off the table.
Waiting costs nothingA real project will still be there next week. The ones that won't are the ones you want to miss.
