Solana Token Safety Report — 2026-08-05

By Verixia Research · Data snapshot taken 2026-08-05 from Jupiter's public token API · 230 tokens across three cohorts · every figure computed from the raw snapshot

Headline findings

97% of the newest Solana launches have less than $5,000 of liquidity, with a median of just 2 holders per token — most new tokens are empty rooms. More surprising: among the top 100 most-traded tokens on Solana today, 24% still carry an active mint authority (the deployer can create new supply at will) and 18% keep an active freeze authority (the deployer can lock your tokens in your wallet). High volume does not mean the master switches are off.

Method & limitations

Cohorts are Jupiter's recent, toptraded/24h and toporganicscore/24h lists, fetched 2026-08-05. "Active" authority means the on-chain flag is not disabled at snapshot time. The newest-launch cohort is a point-in-time sample (30 tokens) and rotates minute to minute; treat its percentages as indicative of launch-flow composition, not a census. Median (not mean) is used throughout because token metrics are heavy-tailed. Reproduce any number with the open generator script.
