Verify the token mint
Start with the correct Solana token mint address. Confirm basic token information such as the token program, supply and decimals so you are researching the intended asset rather than a similarly named token.
SOLANA TOKEN RESEARCH GUIDE
How to Analyze a Solana Token
Before interacting with a Solana token, research what can be verified on-chain. A useful workflow checks token authorities, holder concentration, major owner wallets, observed relationships, funding context and — just as importantly — the quality of the available data.

TOKEN ANALYSIS CHECKLIST
Five questions before you interact
01What can the token authorities do?
02How concentrated are major holders?
03Which owner wallets deserve attention?
04What relationships are actually observed?
05Is the data coverage strong enough?
Good research separates observable facts from interpretation. Unknown or incomplete data should remain visible instead of being converted into certainty.
Step-by-step checklist
What to check when analyzing a Solana token.
No single metric tells the whole story. Use several evidence layers together, and keep the limitations of each layer visible.
Check mint authority
An active mint authority means an authorized account can potentially create additional token supply. A revoked authority means that specific minting permission has been removed. Neither state should be treated as a complete risk verdict by itself.
Check freeze authority
A freeze authority can have the ability to freeze token accounts under the token program's rules. Understand whether that authority exists and why the token structure may require it instead of assuming that active automatically means malicious.
Review holder concentration
Look at how much supply is held by top owners when reliable owner-level data is available. High concentration can deserve further investigation, but exchanges, liquidity pools, treasuries and program-controlled accounts can change the context.
Identify major owner wallets
Token accounts do not always equal unique human owners. When possible, work from owner-level data and inspect the most relevant major wallets rather than drawing conclusions from unsorted token-account samples.
Inspect wallet relationships
Observed direct transfers or transaction co-occurrence can help identify wallet pairs worth further research. These signals show on-chain activity; they do not prove that two wallets share the same owner.
Add funding context
Recent incoming SOL activity and shared funding-source patterns can provide useful context. Funding similarities can be investigation leads, but they should not be treated as identity proof.
Check coverage before concluding
If reliable holder ranking or sufficient RPC/provider coverage is missing, deeper conclusions may not be justified. A strong analysis should say when evidence is incomplete instead of hiding uncertainty.
Do not reduce token research to one label.
“Safe”, “scam” and similar one-word classifications can hide important assumptions. Research is more useful when the underlying evidence, methodology, caveats and unknowns remain visible.
Interpreting signals
Facts are not the same as conclusions.
01
Authority active
This is an observable token-control fact. Research who controls the authority, why it remains active and whether that structure is documented.
02
Concentrated holders
This can matter, but holder identity and account type are important context. A liquidity pool or exchange account should not automatically be interpreted like an undisclosed insider wallet.
03
Wallet interaction
Direct transfers and shared transactions establish on-chain interaction. They do not, without additional evidence, establish common ownership or malicious coordination.

FAQ
Common Solana token analysis questions.
What should I check first when analyzing a Solana token?
Start by confirming the token mint and basic token information. Then review token authorities, holder concentration and major owner wallets before moving into deeper wallet and funding analysis.
Is an active mint authority automatically dangerous?
No. An active mint authority means the authorized account can potentially mint additional supply. Whether that is appropriate depends on the token's design, governance and documentation. It is a fact to investigate, not a standalone verdict.
Is high holder concentration automatically a scam signal?
No. High concentration can justify additional research, but the identities and roles of major accounts matter. Exchanges, pools, treasuries and vesting structures can materially change the interpretation.
Can wallet relationships prove common ownership?
No. Direct transfers, shared transactions and similar on-chain activity can establish relationships or interaction, but they do not by themselves prove that the wallets have the same owner.
Can AYZO analyze a Solana token for free?
AYZO Alpha currently offers a limited daily free allowance for supported Solana token investigations. The current flow does not require a wallet connection.
