SAFE
8 signals · 85% data completeness
Recursio scores USDT 87/100 — the SAFE band — from 8 signals at 85% data completeness. The score is held back mainly by Holder distribution (15/100), Owner permissions (75/100).
$162M of liquidity across 30 pairs is deep enough for retail-size trades.
The owner can still mint new supply. That is not a prediction that they will — only that nothing stops them, and it happens without warning.

How the USDT 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 | 24% |
| Contract security | 100/100 | 14% |
| Owner risk | 100/100 | 12% |
| Owner permissions | 75/100 | 12% |
| Holder distribution | 15/100 | 9% |
| Liquidity | 100/100 | 14% |
| Market activity | 80/100 | 9% |
| ERC-20 compliance | no data | 0% |
| Clone / fake token | 100/100 | 6% |
| LP safety | no data | 0% |
