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.

6.1 Real‑Time Token Monitoring
Detect and display newly created pump.fun tokens quickly, with efficient virtualized rendering and debounced updates.

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

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

12.1 Launch Overview
12.2 Supply & Issuance
12.3 Bonding‑Curve Mechanics
Price Discovery: early trading along a bonding curve allows open price discovery.
Public Participation: anyone can buy/sell during the launch window; no insider tiers.
Migration Trigger: upon reaching a migration threshold, liquidity is moved/created on an AMM to enable regular DEX trading.
12.4 Liquidity & Market Integrity
Initial Liquidity: seeded via pump.fun; post‑migration AMM pool established.
LP Handling (Policy): lock or burn LP tokens to eliminate withdrawal risk; publish lock duration and relevant details after TGE.
Anti‑Manipulation: follow fair‑launch guidelines; monitor wash‑trading/spoofing signals and flag anomalies in‑app.
12.5 Allocation (Proposed Ranges)
Community & Liquidity: 40–60% (curve distribution + liquidity support & community rewards).
Ecosystem & Grants: 10–20% (builders, integrations, bounties).
Operations / Treasury: 10–20% (infrastructure, security, reserves).
Team & Advisors: 10–20% (subject to vesting).
12.6 Vesting & Lockups
Team/Advisor Vesting (Proposed): 36 months with 6–12 month cliff, then linear monthly unlocks.
Treasury Controls: multisig policy; spending proposals published before execution.
Liquidity Locks: LP tokens locked for 6–12 months minimum.
12.7 Utility & Value Accrual
Access: token‑gated advanced analytics (e.g., higher alert quotas, premium risk insights).
Staking (Optional): elevate usage limits or obtain non‑transferable perks (no revenue promises).
Governance: token‑weighted signaling on roadmap priorities and treasury proposals (subject to anti‑whale limits).
Credits/Discounts: fee discounts or extra credits for holders within app limits.
12.8 Transparency & Post‑Launch Disclosures
After launch, publish: token mint address and metadata URI; locker details and durations; multisig address and signer policy; allocation wallet addresses and vesting contracts; AMM pool address and initial liquidity info.
13. Compliance Framework (Non‑Legal Summary)
