How to improve your token's safety score
A guide for token teams: the on-chain changes that clear Caution and Danger warnings on DexGrade, from revoking mint authority to locking liquidity.
The score comes from the blockchain
Nobody can pay for a better score, including us. It changes when the token changes on-chain. Each token page lists its warnings with the fix for each one, under "How this token can improve".
The changes that matter most
In order of impact for most tokens:
- Revoke the mint authority, so no one can print more tokens.
- Revoke the freeze authority, and remove blacklists and pause switches.
- Lock or burn the pool tokens with a well-known locker.
- Renounce ownership, or move it to a multisig with a public timelock.
- Keep the tax under 10%, ideally under 5%.
- Add real liquidity: $10K clears the low-liquidity warning, $50K or more counts as deep.
- Spread the supply: lock or vest team tokens, and avoid single wallets holding a lot.
- Publish the source code (verify it on Sourcify) and link the official address from your website.
Some things only time fixes
A brand-new token, a new website, early snipers and a past launch history all fade or stay on record. Steady, honest trading is what improves them. Fake volume is detected and kept as a warning.
Some things can never be fixed
A few powers are set when a token is created and can not be removed later, such as some Token-2022 extensions. The page says when that is the case.
