Token Analysis¶
Chain Sentinel provides comprehensive token analysis powered by AI and machine learning models.
Overview¶
When you search for a token, Chain Sentinel performs a deep analysis using multiple data sources and AI models to determine if the token is legitimate or a potential scam.
Analysis Components¶
1. Basic Information¶
- Token Address: Unique identifier on Solana blockchain
- Token Name: Human-readable name
- Token Symbol: Trading symbol (e.g., BONK, WIF)
- Creation Date: When the token was deployed
- Creator Wallet: Address that deployed the token
2. Market Data¶
- Current Price: Real-time price in USD
- Market Cap: Total value of all tokens
- 24h Volume: Trading volume in last 24 hours
- Liquidity: Available liquidity in DEX pools
- Holder Count: Number of unique wallet holders
3. On-Chain Metrics¶
Transaction Activity¶
- Total transaction count
- Recent transaction patterns
- Transaction velocity (txs per hour)
- Unusual activity detection
Holder Distribution¶
- Top 10 holder concentration
- Whale wallet detection
- Distribution fairness score
- New vs old holder ratio
Liquidity Analysis¶
- DEX pool liquidity
- Liquidity lock status
- LP token distribution
- Rug pull risk indicators
4. AI Predictions¶
Chain Sentinel uses two advanced AI models:
XGBoost Model¶
- Accuracy: 95.59%
- Features: 20+ on-chain metrics
- Output: SCAM/LEGIT classification + confidence score
- Explainability: SHAP values show which features influenced the decision
GNN v2 Model (GraphSAGE)¶
- Accuracy: 96.06%
- Features: Network graph structure + node features
- Output: SCAM/LEGIT classification + confidence score
- Advantage: Captures relationships between wallets and tokens
5. Risk Indicators¶
Chain Sentinel checks for common scam patterns:
High Risk Indicators
- Honeypot: Can buy but cannot sell
- Mint Authority: Creator can mint unlimited tokens
- Freeze Authority: Creator can freeze token transfers
- Low Liquidity: < $1,000 liquidity
- High Concentration: Top 10 holders own > 80%
- New Token: Created < 24 hours ago
- No Social: No website, Twitter, or Telegram
Medium Risk Indicators
- Moderate Concentration: Top 10 holders own 50-80%
- Low Holder Count: < 100 holders
- Low Volume: < $10,000 daily volume
- Suspicious Transactions: Unusual patterns detected
Low Risk Indicators
- Verified Project: Known team and audit
- High Liquidity: > $100,000 liquidity
- Fair Distribution: Top 10 holders own < 30%
- Active Community: Social media presence
- Locked Liquidity: LP tokens locked for > 6 months
Detection Details¶
Confidence Score¶
The confidence score (0-100%) indicates how certain the AI model is about its prediction:
- 90-100%: Very high confidence
- 75-89%: High confidence
- 60-74%: Moderate confidence
- < 60%: Low confidence (requires manual review)
SHAP Explanations¶
For XGBoost predictions, SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) values show:
- Which features contributed to the SCAM prediction (red bars)
- Which features contributed to the LEGIT prediction (blue bars)
- The magnitude of each feature's impact
Example:
holder_count: +0.15 (more holders = more legit)
top_10_concentration: -0.23 (high concentration = more scam)
liquidity_usd: +0.08 (more liquidity = more legit)
Network Graph¶
The network graph visualizes relationships between:
- Token (center node)
- Creator Wallet (who deployed the token)
- Top Holders (largest token holders)
- Related Tokens (other tokens from same creator)
Graph Features¶
- Node Size: Proportional to wallet balance or token value
- Node Color:
- 🔴 Red = SCAM
- 🟢 Green = LEGIT
- ⚪ Gray = Unknown
- Edge Thickness: Proportional to transaction volume
- Timeline Animation: See how the network evolved over time
Cluster Detection¶
Chain Sentinel identifies wallet clusters (groups of related wallets):
- Scam Rings: Multiple scam tokens from same creator
- Wash Trading: Coordinated buying/selling between related wallets
- Sybil Attacks: One entity controlling many wallets

Confidence: 62%
Model: XGBoost
Risk Indicators:
⚠️ Moderate concentration (top 10: 55%)
⚠️ Low volume ($5K/day)
✅ Decent liquidity ($50K)

When in doubt
If confidence is < 75%, do additional research:
- Check project website and social media
- Look for audit reports
- Verify team identity
- Check community sentiment on Twitter/Telegram
- Start with a small test transaction
Best Practices¶
Before Buying¶
- Check Chain Sentinel prediction - Start here
- Review risk indicators - Look for red flags
- Examine network graph - Check for scam rings
- Verify social media - Real project or fake?
- Test with small amount - Don't YOLO your life savings
Red Flags to Avoid¶
- Confidence > 80% SCAM prediction
- Multiple high-risk indicators
- Creator wallet in known scam cluster
- Honeypot or freeze authority enabled
- Anonymous team with no audit
Green Flags to Look For¶
- Confidence > 80% LEGIT prediction
- Verified project with audit
- Fair token distribution
- Locked liquidity
- Active community and development
API Access¶
You can integrate Chain Sentinel analysis into your own tools:
import requests
# Analyze token
response = requests.get(
"https://api.chainsentinel.net/tokens/analyze",
params={"address": "DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263"},
headers={"X-API-Key": "your_api_key"}
)
