Reading a Solscan token page like a professional
Beyond authorities: supply tabs, holder distribution, pool info and DEX pairs - the full Solscan walkthrough.
Token view
Paste the mint address. The Summary tab shows price, total/known supply and the token program. 'Authority' fields null = mint/freeze renounced.
Holders tab
Distribution concentration matters: if top 10 wallets hold most of the supply, dump risk is high regardless of other guarantees.
DEX/Pools section
Shows which pools exist, their liquidity depth and trading volume. Compare against what the project claims on socials - mismatches are red flags.
