How the rug risk score works
Every coin on Varra gets a 0–100 risk score. Higher means more risk signals were found. Here is exactly what goes into it.
The inputs
| Check | What it looks at | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Mint authority | Whether anyone can still mint new supply | An active mint authority lets the creator print tokens and dilute holders. |
| Freeze authority | Whether token accounts can be frozen | An active freeze authority can stop holders from selling. |
| Top-10 holders | Share of supply in the 10 largest real wallets | Concentrated supply can be dumped. Varra excludes AMM pools, vaults, pump.fun bonding curves and burn addresses so pool balances don't inflate the number. |
| LP burned / locked | How much pool liquidity is burned or locked | Unlocked liquidity can be pulled. |
| Liquidity depth | USD in the main pool | Thin pools mean big price impact and easy manipulation. |
| RugCheck findings | Third-party risk flags from RugCheck | A second independent set of checks. |
| Age | Time since the first pool | Brand-new tokens carry more unknowns. |
Weights
Mint authority 25, freeze authority 20, top-10 concentration 20, LP burned/locked 20, RugCheck findings 15, liquidity depth 15, age 10. Each input scores between 0 and 1; the total is normalized over the inputs that could be read, so a missing data source doesn't count as "low risk".
Labels
0–34: Lower risk. 35–64: Caution. 65–100: High risk. If no data can be read, the coin shows No read.
What it can't see
Off-chain promises, coordinated insider wallets that look independent, social-engineering scams, future contract changes on non-standard tokens, and market risk. A Lower risk label is not a guarantee of anything.
Varra's risk read is an automated estimate from public on-chain data. It is not financial advice, and no score means a coin is safe. Meme coins are highly speculative; only trade what you can afford to lose.
