The Orbit field guide
Better questions.
Better research.
Use the scanner as a starting point, then follow the evidence. This guide explains what to inspect, what a result cannot tell you and where missing data matters.
01 / Start here
Confirm the token, not just the ticker.
A name or symbol is not a unique identity. Copy the contract from a source you trust and confirm the network before scanning.
- Compare the entered address with the token and pair shown in the result.
- Look for the official project’s contract reference and the matching chain explorer page.
- If the name or address does not match, stop and verify. The current engine can select a pair whose base token differs from the entered address.
02 / Contract context
Ask what can change.
Where data is available, inspect minting, ownership controls, taxes, liquidity signals and simulation results. No single check covers every possible risk.
- Unknown or unavailable fields are unfinished research, not a pass.
- A successful sell simulation describes a test at one moment; it does not guarantee future exits.
- Verify important findings at source. Contract verification is not the same as an independent audit.
03 / Market context
Look beyond the price.
Liquidity and trading activity add context, but they can be manipulated or change quickly. A market overview is not an assessment of fair value.
- Review pool depth alongside volume and recent activity.
- Check the pair’s age, source and network. Confirm you are looking at the intended market.
- The current live refresh updates only part of a report. Rerun and independently verify before relying on a change.
04 / Holder context
Investigate who controls supply.
Holder and deployer views can help identify concentration. Wallet labels and relationships may be missing or uncertain.
- Review the available top-holder distribution and supply-control information.
- Do not assume several addresses represent unrelated owners.
- Use chain-explorer records for further investigation; the scanner is not a complete ownership graph.
05 / Reading the indices
A score is a summary, not a forecast.
Orbit’s existing scores combine heuristic rules. The result is not a validated probability of fraud, an audit opinion or a recommendation to buy.
- The research score and risk index use different summaries. Read their labels and supporting detail.
- Data signal indices are heuristic indicators, not a measured percentage of all possible risks covered.
- Green labels do not cancel out missing information or guarantee safety.
06 / Public sources
Coverage depends on the network.
The scanner requests public services in your browser. Availability, rate limits, incomplete responses and browser restrictions can affect results.
These are source references, not endorsements or partnership claims. Not every source applies to every network or token.
07 / Before you act
A final research checkpoint.
Use this checklist to organise your review. Completing it does not certify a token or establish that a trade is suitable.
0 of 5 research steps reviewed. This is not a safety certification.
