SAFE
9 signals · 90% data completeness
Recursio scores LINK 89/100 — the SAFE band — from 9 signals at 90% data completeness. The score is held back mainly by LP safety (15/100), Market activity (60/100), Owner permissions (75/100).
There is no buy or sell tax, and sell simulation succeeded for 2266 of 2266 real wallets (0.0% fail rate).
$1.5M 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.
Key risks for LINK
- Supply can be minted
- Only 0% of LP is locked

Real-holder sell simulation for LINK
Recursio replays actual sell transactions for real LINK 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 | 2266 |
| Failed to sell | 0 |

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