DANGER
7 signals · 70% data completeness
Recursio scores AAVE 10/100 — the DANGER band — from 7 signals at 70% data completeness. The score is held back mainly by Honeypot risk (0/100), LP safety (15/100), Liquidity (70/100).
The decisive finding is honeypot behaviour: buys go through, sells do not. Money put into AAVE should be treated as unrecoverable regardless of price.
$283.3K of liquidity across 29 pairs is deep enough for retail-size trades.
No owner kill switches were found — no minting, pausing, blacklisting or adjustable tax.
Key risks for AAVE
- Honeypot: buyers cannot sell

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 | 0/100 | 29% |
| Contract security | 100/100 | 17% |
| Owner risk | no data | 0% |
| Owner permissions | no data | 0% |
| Holder distribution | 100/100 | 11% |
| Liquidity | 70/100 | 17% |
| Market activity | 60/100 | 11% |
| ERC-20 compliance | no data | 0% |
| Clone / fake token | 100/100 | 7% |
| LP safety | 15/100 | 7% |
