DeFade
WHITEPAPER v1.9 · JULY 2026
What is DeFade?
DeFade is a real-time multi-chain memecoin analysis platform covering Solana, Ethereum, Base and Robinhood Chain, with BNB Chain built and awaiting release. It scans any token contract address and delivers comprehensive risk intelligence across 28 on-chain analytical modules — the full suite on Solana, and 24 of them on every EVM chain — from rug pull probability scoring to insider network detection, fresh wallet flagging, holder overlap mapping, and Pro-tier deep bundle analysis — plus a wallet tracker with trading performance analytics, portfolio scanning, token comparison, a historical rug database, a live rug alert feed, token survival curve tracking, automated rug receipts that prove each early catch with the token's real chart, and Telegram watchlist alerts that fire the moment a watched token shows LP pulls, dev sells, or whale dumps. DeFade is available across web, iOS (App Store), Android (Google Play), Chrome extension, and Telegram bot (@DeFadeAnalyzerBot). A public API (v1) with tiered access lets developers integrate token risk data into their own apps, bots, and dashboards. Built for traders who need the truth before they ape.
The Problem
The memecoin market moves at lightspeed — on Solana and across every EVM chain alike. Thousands of tokens launch daily on token launchpads, and the majority are designed to extract value from unsuspecting traders. Rug pulls, bundled launches, insider networks, and sniper bots cost traders millions every week. Existing tools are either paid, incomplete, or too slow. Traders need fast, comprehensive analysis before making decisions.
How It Works
Paste any token contract address — Solana, Ethereum, Base or Robinhood Chain — and DeFade runs up to 28 parallel on-chain analyses in real-time. Every module below is chain-native, not a Solana result relabelled: the EVM engine re-implements each one against EVM's own mechanics (ERC-20 transfer logs, internal calls, v2/v3/v4 pool shapes) rather than approximating it.
① Rug Pull Probability — Composite risk score (0-100%) computed from all signals
② Holder Distribution — Top holder concentration, protocol wallet filtering
③ Whale Tracker — Identifies large holders, their % of supply, and risk level
④ Bundle Detection — Traces coordinated launch buys by funding source and timing, shows current holdings vs bought amounts with sold/holding status per wallet
⑤ Sniper Bot Detection PRO — Identifies bot wallets that bought within the first 120 seconds, with buy/sell breakdown showing SOL spent, tokens bought, current holdings, and sold/transferred/holding/partial status per sniper
⑥ Insider Network PRO — Force-directed graph mapping transfers and shared funders between top holders. Reveals coordinated insider clusters, sybil networks, and dev-linked wallets that hide as separate addresses.
⑦ Dev Wallet Tracking — Monitors creator's sell/hold/transfer activity
⑧ LP & Liquidity Analysis — LP burn/lock status, liquidity depth, and pool info
⑨ Smart Money Tracker PRO — Detects experienced wallets with high win rates
⑩ Smart Money Signals PRO — Real-time active buys from top-performing wallets
⑪ Copy Trade Detection — Finds wallets that mirror each other's trades
⑫ Creator Intelligence — Serial deployer detection, wallet age, and creator history
⑬ Token Lifecycle — Timeline from creation to graduation with key milestones
⑭ Fresh Wallet Detection PRO — Flags top holders whose wallets were created within 24 hours (critical), 3 days (warning), or 7 days (caution) of the token launch, with tiered risk scoring and supply concentration breakdown. Catches dev wallets, insiders, and sybil clusters that look like real holders.
⑮ Wallet Performance — Trading performance analytics for any wallet: win rate, realized PnL (SOL + USD), per-token PnL breakdown, smart score classification, and average hold time calculated from last 100 swap transactions
⑯ Exit Liquidity Calculator — Estimates price impact and slippage for different sell sizes using constant-product AMM math against live pool data, with max safe exit threshold, liquidity-to-market-cap health ratio, and an interactive calculator for custom position sizes
⑰ Social Sentiment Timeline PRO — Aggregates X/Twitter mention volume and sentiment, DeFade community bullish/bearish vote history with 7-day timeline chart, and social presence scoring across Twitter, Telegram, Discord, and website into a unified 0-100 sentiment score
⑱ Bundle Detection Pro PRO — Deep launch-window bundle analysis with Jito atomic bundle detection, multi-hop funding chain tracing, identical-amount clustering, dev-funded wallet flagging, and confidence-scored bundle groups. Uses 5 genesis strategies including DexScreener pool pagination to reach launch data on high-volume tokens (40k+ tx) where the standard scan can't.
⑲ Historical Bundles PRO — Detects coordinated buys during post-launch pump cycles (not just at launch). Scans volume spikes (3× rolling 7-day average, $50K min floor), identifies bundles within each spike window, and reports total bundled supply across all detected pump events.
⑳ Holder Overlap PRO — Maps the top 20 holders of up to 3 tokens and surfaces which other tokens those wallets share, with a force-directed bubble graph. Shared tokens with 3+ overlapping holders appear as bubbles colored by their strongest input link, revealing coordinated wallet clusters, narrative groups, and insider networks across multiple tokens at once.
㉑ Funding Origin PRO — Traces each top holder's funding back to its source and attributes it to a specific exchange hot wallet, grouping origins by KYC tier (Major KYC, Standard KYC, Low-KYC, No-KYC) and flagging mixer and bridge inflows. Surfaces how a token's holder base was funded rather than just listing exchange names.
㉒ Cross-Funding Graph PRO — Builds the wallet-to-wallet funding edges between top holders, exposing chains where one holder funded another directly. Visualizes the funding relationships as a graph so coordinated groups that route SOL between themselves before launch become visible.
㉓ Sybil Band Clustering PRO — Collapses the cross-funding edges into bands of wallets that behave as a single actor, excluding shared CEX, mixer, and bridge sources so wallets aren't grouped just for using the same exchange. Feeds a Sybil concentration signal into the composite risk score.
㉔ Deployer Reputation PRO — Scores the creator's full track record across every token they've launched: survival rate, serial-rug detection, thriving versus dead outcomes, average liquidity, and a clickable history of their previous tokens to spot repeat ruggers before they strike again.
㉕ KOL Detection — Checks every current holder against a database of known Solana KOL and influencer wallets, surfacing which influencers are holding the token and how much, so you can spot KOL-backed launches and exit-liquidity setups. Free for everyone and informational only: it does not affect the risk score.
㉖ Signal Fusion PRO — Cross-references every wallet flagged across the detection modules and surfaces the ones caught by two or more independent evidence families (launch timing, wallet age, insider transfers, shared funder, prior rug history). A wallet wearing three disguises at once is one operator; each module alone sees one disguise. Feeds a capped correlation bonus into the composite risk score.
㉗ Wallet Reputation PRO — A persistent cross-token intelligence database. Every scan records which wallets were flagged and in what role; when a token later dies on-chain, every wallet sighted on it becomes a confirmed rug participant. Future scans then flag repeat offenders on sight ("this wallet appeared in 4 previous rugged tokens"), even before they act — intelligence that compounds with every scan and cannot be replicated without DeFade's scan history.
㉘ EVM Contract Safety — For EVM tokens: reads the contract directly on-chain to verify it is a real token, checks whether ownership has been renounced (an un-renounced owner can retain mint, blacklist, or fee privileges), and combines liquidity depth, liquidity-to-market-cap ratio, and pair age into rug-risk warnings. On EVM this replaces Solana's mint/freeze authority check as the contract-control signal feeding the composite score.
Platform Tools
Rug Database — Auto-records every token flagged ≥40% rug probability, searchable and filterable by risk level
Token Comparison — Side-by-side comparison of two tokens across safety score, holders, market cap, and security
Wallet Tracker — Paste any wallet to see holdings with risk scores, recent trades, portfolio health, diversification analysis, risk heatmap, and full trading performance with PnL breakdown and smart score classification
Rug Alert Feed — Live feed of tokens flagged ≥40% rug probability by DeFade's risk engine, with real-time stats, search, and filtering by risk level
Token Survival Curves — Tracks how long Solana tokens survive after launch by monitoring liquidity over time, with Kaplan-Meier style decay charts, age distribution, per-token lookup with survival percentile, and recent deaths feed
Rug Receipts — When a token DeFade flagged later rugs, the platform auto-generates a provable receipt card: the risk score at first scan, how many hours before the collapse it was flagged, the token's real price chart with the cliff, and how many of its wallets were already known from previous rugs. Every receipt is timestamp-verifiable, published as a shareable page, and strong catches auto-post to the DeFade Telegram channel
Deployer Lookup — Paste a deployer wallet or any token it launched and get that deployer's full launch record across every supported chain: how many tokens they've shipped, how many survived, how many died, and the outcome of each one
Wallet Lookup — Any address's cross-token rap sheet: every token DeFade has sighted that wallet on, the role it was flagged in (bundler, sniper, insider, fresh, dev), and which of those tokens later died. Per-chain, and it deepens with every scan the platform runs
Caller Tracker & KOL Leaderboard — Scores the people calling tokens on what actually happened afterwards: hit rate, average return, and how many of their calls ended up in the rug database. Paired with a KOL wallet leaderboard ranking influencer wallets by realised performance
Watchlist Notifications — Watch any token from the Telegram bot (/watch) and DeFade monitors it every 5 minutes for a week, alerting instantly on LP pulls, price collapses, dev wallets selling or moving tokens, and whale dumps. Confirmed deaths automatically feed the Wallet Reputation database
Technology Stack
DeFade is built as a Node.js / Express backend with a vanilla JavaScript frontend and no build step. On-chain data is fetched from Helius (Solana RPC + parsed transaction history), DexScreener (price, liquidity, pair metadata), GeckoTerminal (OHLCV charts), CoinGecko (market data and discovery feeds), and pump.fun (bonding curve metadata). The EVM engine reads chain state over JSON-RPC through Alchemy with automatic failover across a per-chain pool of keyless public endpoints, reconstructs launch windows and coordinated buys from raw
eth_getLogs transfer data across Uniswap v2/v3/v4 and every fork, and layers indexed history from Blockscout where a chain hosts one. Lock verification uses Streamflow, social data comes from SocialData, and EVM wallet connectivity supports MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet and every EIP-6963 wallet, plus WalletConnect. A guiding constraint throughout: when a data source is unreachable or a probe fails, modules report what they could not see rather than inferring a clean result — an unverifiable holder is never counted as safe. Persistent state lives in PostgreSQL (rug database, wallet reputation ledger, watchlist state, sentiment votes, API keys, Pro subscriptions, scan history, smart wallet cache). A multi-tier smart cache (in-memory permanent / medium / short TTLs plus Postgres-backed persistent cache that survives redeploys) cuts Helius RPC usage by an estimated 70-85%. Frontend deployed on Vercel; backend on Railway. Mobile apps built with Capacitor wrapping the web app. Chrome extension uses content scripts to inject DeFade analysis into DexScreener, Birdeye, GMGN, Photon, BullX, and Solscan. Telegram bot is a thin wrapper around the same API.

Q4 2026 — Ecosystem
BNB Chain public launch — the full module suite is built and verified on BNB Chain and is held back only on data-sourcing economics: BNB is the one supported chain with no keyless indexer, and the metered provider that fills the gap prices a single deep scan far above what the other chains cost. Release follows the migration of wallet-history reads onto a sustainable source, so the chain launches at the same depth and reliability as the rest rather than a degraded version of it ·
Additional EVM chains (Arbitrum and beyond) · Public API endpoints for the EVM chains · EVM KOL wallet database (the one module without EVM parity, since no public EVM KOL wallet registry exists — it needs building from scratch) · Token comments & community notes · Auto-generated daily & weekly rug reports · API analytics dashboard for paying customers · Chrome extension upgrades (overlay scores on trading platforms) · Push notifications & real-time alerts
Revenue Model
DeFade operates a freemium model with four revenue streams.
(1) DeFade Pro subscription — $19/month unlocks unlimited scans plus the thirteen Pro-only deep analysis modules: Bundle Detection Pro (Jito atomic bundles, multi-hop funding chains, 5 genesis strategies), Historical Bundles (coordinated buys during post-launch pump cycles), Holder Overlap (cross-token holder mapping for up to 3 tokens), Insider Network (transfers and shared-funder mapping between top holders), Fresh Wallet Detection (flags top holders whose wallets were created within hours or days of the token launch), Sniper Bot Detection (bot wallets that bought within the first 120 seconds, with sold/transferred/holding classification per sniper), Smart Money Tracker (scores top holders by historical win rate and PnL to flag experienced wallets and bagholders), Smart Money Signals (surfaces what those top-performing wallets are actively buying), Funding Origin (per-exchange CEX attribution by KYC tier with mixer and bridge flagging), Cross-Funding Graph (wallet-to-wallet funding edges between top holders), Sybil Band Clustering (collapses funding edges into same-actor bands feeding a Sybil signal into the score), Social Sentiment Timeline (X mention sentiment, community vote history, and social presence in one score), and Deployer Reputation (the creator's full track record across past tokens: survival rate, serial-rug detection, and thriving versus dead outcomes). Pro scans additionally include Signal Fusion and the Wallet Reputation database, which cross-reference every flagged wallet across modules and against previously rugged tokens, surfacing repeat rug operators on sight. Free users get 3 token scans per day with access to the other 12 modules.
(2) DeFade Public API — developers and businesses subscribe to tiered plans (Free, Starter $29/mo, Pro $99/mo, Enterprise $499/mo) for programmatic access to all 28 analysis modules.
(3) Trading fees — when users trade directly through DeFade (MEV-protected execution powered by Definitive, plus Jupiter swaps on Solana), the platform earns a small integrator fee on each trade, on every supported chain.
(4) Pay-per-use overage credits — API customers can purchase credit packs ($5–$50) to continue making requests beyond their daily plan limits at $0.02/request, with volume bonuses up to 10%.
Payments are processed via Stripe (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay) for recurring subscriptions, or in USDC on Solana for users who prefer to pay on-chain directly from their wallet. Crypto plans are prepaid for the chosen term, verified on-chain via Helius, and grant access instantly. Every plan, on either rail, is available monthly or yearly, with yearly billed at a 20% discount. Subscription management is self-serve with instant key delivery.
