How the LINK safety score is calculated
The score is a weighted composite. Missing data lowers confidence rather than being silently skipped, and hard caps apply — a token with almost no liquidity or a failed sell simulation cannot score well no matter how clean its source code looks.
| Signal | Score | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Honeypot risk | 100/100 | 29% |
| Contract security | 100/100 | 17% |
| Owner risk | no data | 0% |
| Owner permissions | no data | 0% |
| Holder distribution | 100/100 | 11% |
| Liquidity | 100/100 | 17% |
| Market activity | 80/100 | 11% |
| ERC-20 compliance | no data | 0% |
| Clone / fake token | 100/100 | 7% |
| LP safety | 15/100 | 7% |
