Published Cases
Case #004 July 13, 2026 · Robinhood Chain · Live Watch
Cash Cat ($CASHCAT)
"New Chain, Same Trap" — RPD was the first scanner covering Robinhood Chain. Score: 8.3/100. LP: 0% locked. $44M in losses. The structural risk was visible before it happened.
8.3 RPD Score
0% LP Locked
$44M Losses
30K+ Holders
9.9% Top 10 Hold
Core Lesson A low RPD score does not mean a token is safe. Cases #001, #002, and #004 all scored below 12/100 — and all had 0% LP locked. The score averages everything. The flags tell the truth. Read every flag, not just the headline number.

Case #003 July 7, 2026 · Ethereum · Binance Alpha / HTX
$TAC Token
"The Exchange Listing Was the Trap" — 88% crash in 60 minutes. $225M wiped. Hidden contract. 287% supply concentration.
−88% Price Drop
70 RPD Score
60 min To Collapse
$225M Cap Wiped
287% Top 10 Hold
Core Lesson A Binance listing is not a safety check. Hidden contract code, 287% supply concentration, and zero liquidity are on-chain facts that no exchange brand can override. The scanner reads the blockchain — not the marketing.

Case #002 June 28, 2026 · Solana · PumpSwap
The Asian Bull (YEN)
"The Story Was the Weapon" — 85% collapse in ~3 hours after a perfectly engineered social narrative
−85% Cap Drop
11.8 RPD Score
0% LP Locked
30% Dev Hold
~3 hrs To Collapse
Core Lesson "Will lock" is a promise. "Is locked" is a fact. In crypto, only on-chain facts are real. The narrative was the entry point — the data was the exit.

Case #001 June 2026 · Solana · PumpSwap
MOGSEM
"Clean Score, Unlocked Pool" — 72% collapse. The scan looked fine. The liquidity wasn't protected.
−72% Cap Drop
11.8 RPD Score
0% LP Locked
Core Lesson A low RPD score does not mean a token is safe. If the liquidity pool is unlocked, the floor can be pulled at any moment — regardless of the contract's risk rating.

Recurring Patterns Across All Cases
🔴
0% LP Locked
Every case to date had zero liquidity protection. This is the single most consistent red flag across all three cases.
🟡
RPD Score ≠ The Whole Picture
Cases #001 and #002 scored below 20/100 yet still collapsed. Always check LP lock status AND supply concentration, not just the headline score.
🎭
Social Narrative First
The stronger the story — or the bigger the brand attached — the more important it is to verify the on-chain facts. Narrative is engineered. Blockchain data is not.
⏱️
Speed of Collapse
All three cases collapsed within hours of peak. These aren't slow bleeds — they're deliberate exits into retail liquidity.
🏦
Exchange ≠ Endorsement
Case #003 introduced a new pattern: using a major exchange listing as a legitimacy shield. Binance Alpha, HTX, CoinGecko rankings — none of these replace a contract scan.
⚡
Leverage Amplifies Every Loss
Case #003 showed how 20x perpetual contracts turn a coordinated dump into a retail liquidation cascade. Never add leverage to an unverified token.
