SAFE
9 signals · 90% data completeness
Recursio scores AAVE 83/100 — the SAFE band — from 9 signals at 90% data completeness. The score is held back mainly by LP safety (15/100), Owner risk (60/100), Contract security (75/100).
There is no buy or sell tax, and sell simulation succeeded for 338 of 339 real wallets (0.3% fail rate).
$1.3M of liquidity across 30 pairs is deep enough for retail-size trades.
The owner can still mint new supply, rewrite balances. That is not a prediction that they will — only that nothing stops them, and it happens without warning.
Key risks for AAVE
- Supply can be minted
- Owner can rewrite balances
- Hidden owner
- Only 0% of LP is locked

Real-holder sell simulation for AAVE
Recursio replays actual sell transactions for real AAVE holders. This catches dynamic honeypots that pass a static contract audit — a token can look clean and still block most wallets from selling.

| Sold successfully | 338 |
| Failed to sell | 1 |
| Fail rate | 0.3% |
| Simulated buy tax | 0.0% |

How the AAVE 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 | 22% |
| Contract security | 75/100 | 13% |
| Owner risk | 60/100 | 11% |
| Owner permissions | 75/100 | 11% |
| Holder distribution | 100/100 | 9% |
| Liquidity | 100/100 | 13% |
| Market activity | 80/100 | 9% |
| ERC-20 compliance | no data | 0% |
| Clone / fake token | 100/100 | 6% |
| LP safety | 15/100 | 6% |
