Glossary

These are the meanings used on this site. A vendor’s own glossary can differ. Where it does, the research pages say which print they are reading. Supply is the longer lesson.

Market cap: Price times the circulating supply figure the vendor used. Not liquidity, and not a measure of how easily a position can be sold.
Fully diluted value: Price times a total or maximum supply. When it matches market cap, the vendor used one supply figure for both. That is not proof of a hard cap.
Liquidity: Reported DEX pool depth on the row. A blank means the file attached no pool. It does not mean the number is zero, and it does not include a centralised order book.
Volume: The reported 24 hour figure. The file does not say how much of it is wash trading.
Top 10: Share of supply in the ten largest addresses at the measurement time. Not ten people. A pool or a custodian can be on the list.
CLEAR: A stored safety scan returned that verdict. The scan can still contain warnings. It is not a recommendation.
FAIL: A stored scan’s hard check failed. The row stays visible. Failure is not the same word as unscanned.
Unscanned: No safety scan is stored for that row. Absence is not a pass.
Ready: A board filter: not a stored FAIL, pool at least $50 (or a large listed coin with no pool figure), and top 10 at or under 93% when measured. Ready is not clear, and not a buy.
DESK_PASS: A verdict string from the upstream file. It is not this site’s Solana desk, and it is not a buy signal.
Ticker: The symbol. Not an identifier. DOGE, PEPE and BONK are all reused.
Observation time: When the public file was generated. Distinct from the date the prose was reviewed.
Mint authority: On Solana, the right to create more units. ‘None’ means the scan read that field as revoked at scan time.
Freeze authority: On Solana, the right to stop an account moving the token. Distinct from metadata update authority.
Honeypot: A contract path where a buy can succeed and a sell cannot. A simulation is evidence about the path that was tried.
