5. Data Collection, Processing, & Models

5.1 Sources & Timeliness

Live trades: WebSockets for low‑latency updates.

Metadata & prices: interval polling for resiliency.

Local persistence: quick reloads and brief offline tolerance.

5.2 Transformations

Volume normalization: convert SOL‑denominated flows into USD.

Aggregation windows: rolling intervals (e.g., 1–60 minutes).

History tracking: append market‑cap snapshots for micro‑trend visibility.

5.3 Token Data Model (Conceptual)

Each token record includes: identifier, name/symbol, image, USD market cap, total/buy/sell volumes, unique traders, last trade time, creator identity, buy/sell ratio, creation time, social links, KOTH status, optional description, risk score & level, and market‑cap history. This ensures consistent rendering and cross‑feature interoperability.

6. Core Features

6.1 Real‑Time Token Monitoring

Detect and display newly created pump.fun tokens quickly, with efficient virtualized rendering and debounced updates.

6.2 Comprehensive Metrics

Market Cap (USD), Total/Buy/Sell Volume, Unique Traders, Token Age, Buy/Sell Ratio—right‑aligned, readable formatting (K/M/B suffixes), consistent labeling (including mobile).

6.3 Visual Analytics

Mini trend charts per token show market‑cap direction at a glance. Color cues and subtle motion highlight meaningful changes without noise.

6.4 Risk Assessment Engine

Risk Levels: SAFE, SUSPICIOUS, POTENTIAL_RUGPULL. Signals considered: age/activity correlation, volume anomalies, trader behavior, price dynamics, and—where available—holder concentration and liquidity depth. Outputs: concise badge plus optional tooltip and assistant summary.

6.5 Custom Views & Controls

Sort by key metrics; filter by risk, favorites, or recency. Time‑range selectors for aggregation windows. Optional alerts for price/volume/risk changes.

6.6 Scoop (AI Assistant)

Natural‑language answers to “what’s happening” and “what does this mean,” with beginner‑friendly definitions and pro‑level summaries. Educational nudges reduce impulsive behavior and highlight risk.

6.7 Accessibility & Theming

Keyboard navigation, ARIA labels, semantic markup. Light/Dark themes with tuned contrast and color‑blind considerations.

7. Risk Assessment Methodology

7.1 Philosophy

The engine prioritizes early warning over false precision. It communicates confidence and reasons plainly, empowering users to make informed choices.

7.2 Inputs (Examples)

Age & Velocity:

very new tokens with unusually high activity.

Volume Patterns:

abnormal spikes, imbalanced buy/sell ratios, concentrated flows.

Trader Behavior:

unique‑trader growth, repeat‑trader share, whale activity.

Price Dynamics:

extreme volatility, suspected manipulation, thin liquidity.

Distribution (where available): holder concentration; creator reputation signals.

7.3 Outputs

Classification: SAFE / SUSPICIOUS / POTENTIAL_RUGPULL.
Score (optional): internal confidence to drive UI emphasis and alerts.
Visualization: color badges; pulsing/glow for high risk; succinct tooltips.

7.4 Limitations

Data feeds may be delayed or incomplete. Classification is probabilistic and may err; human judgment remains essential.

8. UI/UX Principles

Information density with restraint: maximize signal, minimize clutter.
Visual hierarchy: critical metrics are more prominent; consistent iconography.
Progressive disclosure: advanced details available on demand.
