# Score System

The **uDegen Score** is our proprietary rating system designed to give traders an instant, data-driven snapshot of any project's health and potential. Instead of manually digging through multiple explorers, the uDegen Score aggregates complex data points into a single, easy-to-understand number.

***

### 📊 How the Score is Calculated

Our algorithm analyzes hundreds of data points in real-time. While the exact weighting is proprietary to prevent manipulation, the score is primarily determined by the following core factors:

**On-Chain Metrics**

* **Holders:** Evaluation of holder concentration and "smart money" accumulation.
* **Liquidity:** Assessment of liquidity depth, pair stability, and lock status.
* **Volume:** Analysis of organic trading volume vs. bot activity.
* **Market Cap:** Valuation relative to the project's current growth stage.

**Security & Safety**

* **Contract Audit:** Automated checks for honeypots, high taxes, and mint functions.
* **Security Score:** A dedicated sub-metric focusing on the safety of the smart contract code.

**Market Dynamics**

* **Social Sentiment:** Real-time monitoring of community engagement and "hype" levels across social platforms.
* **Price Action:** Analysis of recent price trends (increases or decreases) to detect momentum or overextension.

**uDegen Verification**

* **Verified Status:** Projects that have undergone manual review by the uDegen Team receive a significant scoring boost. This indicates a higher level of trust and transparency.

### 💡 What the Score Tells You

* **High Score (80-100):** Indicates a project with strong fundamentals, high community engagement, and verified security.
* **Medium Score (50-79):** A project with potential but perhaps lacking in one area, such as liquidity depth or long-term holder growth.
* **Low Score (<50):** Proceed with extreme caution. This often flags projects with high-risk contract functions or inorganic "wash" trading.
