Coin risks
Most coins bots trade on Solana are small, new or meme tokens. Their price depends on attention and liquidity, which can disappear overnight. Before you launch a bot, Tradyn screens the coin and tells you what it found, in plain words.
Where you see them
- In Discover, the Safety column: Safe, a number of warnings, or Risky.
- On the coin's page, About this coin lists every warning.
- With real SOL on a coin flagged as risky, the launch panel adds: High risk with real SOL: you could lose this whole budget, or be unable to sell.
Tradyn doesn't refuse a coin because it looks risky: it shows you the risks and lets you decide.
What each warning means
Risky (red) warnings:
| Warning | What it means |
|---|---|
| Flagged as suspicious by Jupiter | Jupiter's own checks found this coin suspicious. |
| The creator can freeze holders' tokens | The creator can freeze any wallet's tokens, including your bot's, so they can't be sold. |
| Liquidity under $… | So little money in the pools that each trade moves the price a lot, and selling may only be possible at a heavy loss. |
| Cannot be transferred, so it cannot be sold | A token that can't move between wallets. |
| The issuer has paused all transfers | Nobody can buy or sell it right now. |
| New holders stay frozen until the issuer approves them | Your bot could buy it but not sell it. |
Warnings (orange):
| Warning | What it means |
|---|---|
| The creator can still mint new tokens | New supply can be created at any time, diluting holders. |
| Thin liquidity: expect slippage | Trades move the price noticeably. Check the cost per trade. |
| Top holders own …% of supply | A few wallets hold most of the coin and could sell at once. |
| Little organic trading activity | Much of the volume may come from bots or wash trading. |
| Less than 24h old | Very new coins are the most volatile and the most often abandoned. |
| The issuer can freeze holders' tokens | Shown instead of the red warning for issuers Jupiter verified, such as stablecoins and tokenized stocks, which keep this power for compliance. |
Token-2022 coins
Some coins use Solana's newer token program, Token-2022, whose extensions give the issuer extra powers. Tradyn reads them on the blockchain:
| Warning | What it means |
|---|---|
| …% tax on every buy and sell | A transfer tax, paid on each of your bot's trades. It's included in the cost per trade. Above 1%, it's flagged as risky. |
| The tax rises to …% within days | A higher tax is already scheduled. |
| The issuer can raise the tax on every buy and sell | The tax can go up later. |
| The issuer can move or burn anyone's tokens | A permanent delegate: the issuer can take your bot's tokens. Risky, or a warning for a verified issuer. |
| Custom code runs on every transfer and can block sales | A transfer hook. Risky, or a warning for a verified issuer. |
| The issuer can add code to every transfer that blocks sales | A hook can be added later. |
| The issuer can pause transfers | Trading can be stopped at any time. |
| Balances are rescaled by the issuer for dividends or splits (×… now) | Mostly tokenized stocks. See Tokenized stocks. |
When a Token-2022 coin's extensions can't be read, a general warning says Token-2022: transfer fees or hooks may apply.
What screening can't catch
- These checks only see what's visible when they run. They can't catch every scam, and a coin can change after your bot starts.
- The people behind a coin can hold much of its supply and sell it all at once, or pull the liquidity out of its pool (a rug pull).
- A coin can fall close to zero and never recover. Stops sell at the next available price, which can be far below the stop.
If a coin can't be sold when you stop a bot, the bot returns its SOL and the unsold coins stay in its wallet. See Follow and stop a bot.
