DOCS

See what's true. Send when it's green. Litmus is a ritual and a public measuring layer for people who refuse to be farmed.

NFA. A score is not a recommendation, promise, or prediction. Verify every mint and decide for yourself.

01 · the ritual

Dip → see → send when it's green

Dip

Paste a mint into the Desk or Hub. Never paste a seed phrase, private key, or anything secret.

See

Read liquidity, age, activity, authorities, concentration, and the actual pair. Unknown is a prompt to verify, not a green light.

Send when it's green

Green is a condition in the ritual, not an order. Size your own risk, check the mint, and be ready to walk.

02 · algorithm scorecard

Every point has a receipt

The shared score starts at 50 and clamps to 0–100. The Desk and Hub use the same pure JavaScript scorer. DexScreener is the source for pair metrics; Solana authority checks are only added when the public RPC answers.

Factor	Weight	What it looks for
Liquidity depth	+20 / −20	More depth gets points; below $8k is dust-level and loses points.
Pair age	+10 / −12	History matters. A pair under one hour is heavily discounted.
Volume / liquidity	+8 / −6	Balanced turnover helps; dead tape or extreme turnover is a warning.
Mint authority	+12 / −18	Revoked authority is better; active authority can change supply.
Freeze authority	+10 / −14	Revoked is better; active authority is a control risk.
Holder concentration	+10 / −15	Only scored when concentration data exists. Clusters still need human review.
Boost noise	0 / −4	Promotion is disclosed as noise. Attention is not trust.
24h activity	+5 / −5	Reported swaps add context; activity can still be bot-heavy.

03 · read the colors

RUG / THIN / OK / SEND / TREASURE

RUG · 0–24

Red signals stack up. Walk, preserve attention, and do not confuse a moving chart with proof.

THIN · 25–49

There may be a market, but depth or evidence is thin. Treat exits as a real question.

OK · 50–69

Some observable signals are present. Keep looking; this is not a green light.

SEND · 70–85

More green signals than red in the returned data. Your own rules still outrank the label.

TREASURE · 86–100

An unusually strong snapshot. Snapshots change, and the label is never a guarantee.

What Litmus is NOT

Not financial, trading, legal, or tax advice.
Not a pump, not pump.fun, not a promise of APY, returns, or safety.
Not a replacement for on-chain verification, wallet-cluster research, or sizing discipline.
Not a guarantee that a promoted token, score, or $LITM survives.
