# Risk Score

> How the Solana Tracker token risk score works — rug pull signals, freeze and mint authority checks, top holder concentration, and bundler detection.

<Callout type="info">
  The Risk Score API evaluates token investment risk across multiple factors, generating a normalized score from 1-10 to help users make informed trading decisions on Solana.
</Callout>

## Risk Categories

Risk factors are organized into four severity-based categories:

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Warning Factors" icon="triangle-exclamation">
    Potential issues requiring attention but may have legitimate explanations
  </Card>

  <Card title="Danger Factors" icon="octagon-exclamation">
    Significant red flags indicating high risk or potential malicious activity
  </Card>

  <Card title="Liquidity Factors" icon="droplet">
    Token liquidity and holder concentration issues
  </Card>

  <Card title="Snipers & Insiders" icon="users">
    Early buyer and insider wallet concentration risks
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Scoring Methodology

<Callout type="warning">
  Final risk scores are normalized to 1-10 based on the sum of individual risk factor weights. Higher scores indicate higher risk.
</Callout>

The tables below show internal weights for each signal. The API combines those weights, then converts the total into the final 1-10 score. Treat the table scores as relative strength, not as the final user-facing score.

## Warning Risk Factors
