Methodology

MSS Protocol focuses on structural risk — signals that often exist before problems become obvious.

Authorities

• Mint Authority: if present, supply can be changed.
• Freeze Authority: if present, transfers may be restricted.

Concentration

• Top1 / Top5 / Top10 / Top20 are calculated from the largest token accounts.
• Owner is resolved from token account data where possible.

Market Context

• Price, liquidity, volume and FDV come from public market sources.
• MCap is computed as price × totalSupplyUi when direct market cap is unavailable.

Hidden Control Risk

This layer estimates whether linked wallets may collectively control more supply than headline holder counts suggest. Shared payer fingerprints, linked wallet structures and cluster overlap inform this score.

Developer Activity

This layer looks for best-effort overlap between likely linked wallet structures and developer-adjacent behaviour. It is directional, not definitive attribution.

Fresh Wallet Risk

Recently active or low-history wallet clusters can indicate structured distribution or inorganic participation. MSS treats this as a contextual signal, not standalone proof.

Liquidity Stability

MSS evaluates liquidity depth relative to valuation and classifies removable-liquidity risk as a practical stability indicator.

Whale Activity

Whale pressure, coordination patterns and burst behaviour are used to estimate whether large-holder activity is normal, elevated or concerning.

Trend & Reputation Layer

Historical risk snapshots are used to estimate whether risk is stable, escalating or easing. Reputation is an MSS confidence-oriented score built from multiple structural signals rather than social sentiment.

MSS Protocol is continuously improving its methodology as historical tracking, alerts and deeper on-chain heuristics expand.
