How we count

What we count

Every pool on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) that GeckoTerminal indexes: the top pools by 24h volume, the newest pools, trending pools and the top pools of each launchpad, plus every pool we already track (re-checked so deaths are caught). A scan runs every 5 minutes. Pools whose base token is a major (WETH, USDG, USDe, cbBTC) or a Stock Token are excluded: they are venues, not launches.

Survival score v1

survival = 40·L + 35·B + 25·T

• L, liquidity you can't remove: 1.0 when the pool was created by a launchpad that locks LP permanently (pons-v2-dex, uniswap-pools-trade, bankr, o1, pons.family) and liquidity ≥ $5K; 0.5 when liquidity ≥ $5K but not locked; 0 below $5K.
• B, buyers who aren't the deployer: min(1, unique buyers in 24h / 150) × 0.8. The 0.8 discounts deployer-controlled wallets we cannot see.
• T, time survived: min(1, age in hours / 168).

Status: alive ≥ 70, watch 40–69, dead when liquidity < $5K or 24h volume < $1K at scan time, regardless of score.

Rug score v1

rug = 100 − survival, +25 if liquidity fell by more than half since the previous scan, +15 if sells/buys in 24h exceed 3, clipped to 0–100. A high rug score is a description of numbers, not an accusation.

Cause of death

• liquidity pulled: liquidity below 20% of its peak.
• never had buyers: the pool was never alive at any scan.
• buyers vanished: fewer than 5 unique buyers in the last 24h.
• faded: everything else.

Data sources

• GeckoTerminal (pools, trades) · DexScreener (socials) · DefiLlama (TVL, DEX volume, fees) · Blockscout (explorer) · Robinhood Stock Token API (registry and underlying quotes) · CoinGecko (trending, categories) · Finnhub / Alpha Vantage / marketdata.app for equity quotes when configured.
• All free tiers. No paid data. No private wallets.

Limits

• We see what GeckoTerminal indexes; a pool can exist for minutes before it appears.
• Unique buyers can be inflated by bots. The score caps buyers at 150 for that reason.
• Dead tokens can come back; the token page shows the full timeline.
• Stock Token premiums are computed against the last available underlying quote, which is stale when the exchange is closed.
