Reading a scan card
Every field on the card, what each tap opens, and which ones should stop you buying.
A scan card is dense on purpose: it is meant to answer, in one message, every question you would otherwise open four tabs to check. This page goes through it line by line, then through the part most people miss, which is that nearly every label on it is a link.

AIThe image above the card
Every scan arrives under a picture the bot draws for that scan, not a stock banner. The left side is the token: its banner and logo, the chain and age, the market cap, the all-time-high market cap and the 24-hour move. The right side is the market cap over the token’s life, with the last hour’s volume and buy/sell count along the bottom.
- Who was first. If someone in your group scanned the token before, their Telegram photo is pinned to the line at the moment they did, with the market cap they got in at and, on a gold chip, the multiple the token has reached since. That is the receipt, drawn where everyone can see it. If you logged a call on the token yourself, your call is pinned the same way in green.
- The ringed high. The highest point on the line is ringed and labelled with its market cap. When it is the token’s real all-time high the label is gold and says ATH.
- The window. The header says how much history is plotted (
PAST 6 DAYS, orSINCE LAUNCHwhen the line starts at the pool) and the move over it. A first scan near the end of a long history gets a zoomed window, so the caller is not pinned against the right edge where it would read as a call at the top. Under the line, the left end carries the market cap the window opened at and the right end the market cap now.
Admins can turn the image off for their group with /tokenimages or in /settings; the card underneath is unchanged.
@ProficyPriceBotPons on Robinhood Chain: Jerry’s first scan pinned at $145M, with the 4.8X it reached afterwards on the chip.
The header
🔥 #3 Proficy Trending 🪙 Agency (Agency) ☯️ PumpSwap (Pump.fun) | $0.01961
The trending rank when the token is on the board right now, then the name and ticker, the pool it trades on, the chain and the current price. On EVM chains a 🟢 or 🟡 dot and the router version sit beside the name. The name is a link that opens the token in the bot directly, which is how you share a scan into another chat without re-pasting the address.
MC, Liq and the moves
MC: $18.9M | Liq: $581K (100% 🔥) | Age: 2d 5M: -0.12% | 1H: +22.5% | 1D: +1.06K% 1D Vol: $19.4M | B/S: 52K/53K
Market cap, the size of the liquidity pool with the locked-or-burned percentage beside it, and age. 100% 🔥 means the LP tokens are burned and the pool cannot be pulled. Anything below 100% is the amount somebody could still remove. Compare the first two: a $500K market cap on $8K of liquidity means you cannot exit at anything near the quoted price.
Then the price move over five minutes, an hour and a day, and the day’s volume with its buy/sell transaction split. B/S is the one to read first: volume with a heavily lopsided sell count is distribution, whatever the price is doing.
These two lines replaced the old monospace 5M/1H/1D table, which put the same numbers in three columns and took twice the height. Admins who preferred it can turn it back on with the Price table switch in /settings.
ATH
ATH: $22.4M (1.2x) 21m ago
The highest market cap the token has reached, the multiple from where it is now, and how long ago that happened. The timestamp is the useful half: a 1.2x that peaked 21 minutes ago is a token still in play; the same figure from four months back is a corpse.
Every blue word opens more
Since the end of September the labels on the card are links. Tap one and the bot opens a full breakdown of that number in your DM with it, so the group chat stays a group chat and you get the evidence behind the figure rather than the figure alone.
- Snipers, Bundles, Insiders, Fresh: the wallets carrying that tag, wallet by wallet. How many there are, how much of supply they still hold, how many have sold out and what they realized, then the top fifteen with their holding, value, profit and a 🟢 holding / 🟡 partly sold / 🔴 sold out marker. Fresh adds how many of them were created in the last day and the last week.
- Dev: the deployer’s profile. Wallet balance, how many tokens it has launched and how many graduated, its best launch by ATH, when it last launched, its 30-day trading result, whether it still holds this token, how much the dev team’s wallets hold between them, and its five best launches. On EVM chains it adds the Proficy launch record of every contract the wallet deployed.
- Holders: the holder map, with the top twenty, LP burn and what the launch buyers still hold.
- Top (in “Top 10”): the top traders on the token by profit. Holders answers who holds it; Top answers who got paid.
- Checksum: every other contract built from the same bytecode, and which of them died.
- 𝕏 and the post count beside it: the posts themselves, in X Search. Lore, in the Links row: the story behind the ticker. Both are in token research.
Three real replies, from two small Solana launches on 2026-10-01. The first is a tap on Dev: a deployer with 2,826 launches, 24 of which graduated, who has already sold every token of the one being scanned. The second and third are taps on Snipers and Fresh on a token called silent, where every sniper but one has already left, and 19 of the 50 fresh wallets holding it were created in the last day.
The real reply lists fifteen wallets before “…and 35 more”. The first five are shown here.
Each view also has a typed form for when there is no card to tap: /dev, /snipers, /bundlers, /insiders, /fresh and /th, each with a contract address or as a reply to a scan. The tagged-wallet views read Solana, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base and Robinhood Chain.
The card used to print /wh_ and /xs_ shortcuts for the holder map and X Search. Over a week they were tapped 31 and 227 times against more than 114,000 group scans: a string of characters at the end of a line is not something people recognise as a button. A labelled word is, and the shortcuts came off.
Holders, Top 10 and the ladder
Holders: 10.5K | Top 10: 14.86% ($2.8M) └ 2 · 2 · 2 · 1.4 · 1.4 · 1.4 · 1 · 1 · 1 · 1
- Holders: wallet count. Rising fast on a young token is good; a high count on a token nobody is trading is usually an airdrop.
- Top 10: what the ten largest wallets hold between them, in percent and in dollars.
- The ladder under it is those ten holdings in order. Every rung links through to the account on the chain’s explorer, so wallets funded from the same place are one tap from being obvious. A flat ladder is more worrying than a steep one: ten wallets holding almost exactly the same percentage is not what organic distribution looks like.
The 𝕏 line and Lore
𝕏 9+ posts/35m · 523 views | Web | Lore
The only lines on the card that are not a read of a chain. How many posts about this token have gone up, over what window, and how many views they drew. Twenty posts in an hour on a token with $6M of liquidity is a coordinated push; twenty over three days is a token people happen to be discussing. Tap 𝕏 or the count for the posts themselves, along with how many came from repeat accounts and how many accounts are running identical copy.
Lore now sits at the end of the Links row on every card, even a token with no socials at all, because it still has our scan history and X to read. See token research. A card set to Minimal in /settings carries no 𝕏 line.
What each chain adds
From here the card is chain-specific, and deliberately so: the checks that are cheap and reliable on one chain do not exist on another. Nothing here is missing because it was left out. It is missing because the chain does not publish it.
Solana
Insiders: 10.0% | Fresh: 12.1% Snipers: 31% ⚠️ | DEXT: 93/100 Organic: 92/100 | DEX Paid ✅ | Dev
- Snipers: how much of the supply the launch buyers took.
- Insiders: how much of supply is held by wallets tagged as insiders, the ones connected to the launch itself.
- Bundles: how much is held by wallets that bought in the same transaction bundle, which is one buyer pretending to be several.
- Fresh: how much of supply sits in brand-new, barely-used wallets, which is what a team splitting its bag across new addresses looks like. Also printed on the EVM chains.
- Dev: a link to the deployer’s record. When that record is worth a warning the line also prints how many of its tokens graduated off the launchpad, out of how many it launched. 80 out of 6,410 is a factory, and it is flagged. A first-time dev is not shown, since “1 launched” is noise.
- DEXT: DEXTools’ own audit score out of 100. Absent when the pair is too new to have been scored.
- Organic: Jupiter’s score for how much of the trading looks like real separate buyers rather than volume moving between wallets that funded each other.
- DEX Paid ✅ means somebody paid DexScreener to enhance the listing, which is a signal of intent and nothing more. CTO 🤝 marks a community takeover.
Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base and Robinhood Chain
Fresh: 0.5% | DEX Paid ✅ | CA Verified ✅ Checksum: 4% rug | Dev Tax: 0 / 0
- CA Verified ✅: the source code is published, so it can be read.
- Checksum: the share of contracts built from the same bytecode that died. Its own section is below.
- Dev: the deployer, one tap from its profile.
- Tax: buy and sell tax, from a simulated round trip through the router rather than from a field in the contract. A contract can declare 0% and still take 40% on the way out; the simulation is what actually happened to a test trade.
- A swap-loss warning under the header appears when the simulated round trip comes back materially worse than the quoted price. It is the honeypot check’s softer sibling: an outright honeypot is called by name.
Checksum
Checksum: 4% rug
Proficy fingerprints the contract’s bytecode, the compiled code rather than the name, the ticker or the address. Every scan is matched against 1,610,498 stored contracts, which collapse into 192,263 distinct code shapes, and the line says what share of the tokens sharing this code are dead. Tap it for the list.
The bot flags the line at 40%. Below that the number is information rather than an alarm, because most bytecode is a template thousands of honest launches also used.
This is the field no other Telegram bot prints, and it is the reason to run a Proficy scan even if you already ran somebody else’s. It is also the one worth understanding properly, including why a high ratio is often meaningless and why Solana has none: The checksum database.
The authority flags
Renounced, Mint (off) ✅, Freezable (off) ✅
- Renounced: ownership given up. Note the caveat: renounced only stops the owner functions that exist. Hidden functions that need no owner still work.
- Mint, on Solana: (on) ⚠️ means the supply can still grow while you are holding it.
- Freezable: (on) ⚠️ means your tokens can be made untradeable in your own wallet.
- On EVM chains the same slot can carry Blacklist or Whitelist: the contract can block or permit specific addresses from trading. Sometimes anti-bot, sometimes the mechanism of an exit.
The links, and the buttons under the card
The Links row carries whatever socials the project published, then Lore. Chart and 🫧 Map are the /c_ and /b_ shortcuts for a chart and a bubble map in the chat. The chart-site row is Defined, GeckoTerminal, DexScreener and DEXTools, with an Explorer line for the chain’s own. Under them are the terminals (GMGN, Axiom) and the trading bots (Maestro, Based, and Trojan on Solana).
The full-width button under the card is a trading link, and it is an ad. So is the PROMO line. The row under that is 🔮 AI for the private research report, 🔄 to refresh the card in place, and 🗑️ to remove it.
Who scanned it first
🥇🔎 Jerry Seinfeld $120K ➜ $22M · 184x · 2d 💥💥💥 💪 Flex: /pnl_7VertkgF
Proficy has been the first bot to scan 236,581 tokens, and the card credits whoever ran that scan in your group: the market cap they got in at, the peak since, the multiple and how long ago. In your own group this is the receipt for who called it. The flair grows with the multiple.
/pnl_ under it turns that credit into a card worth posting, with the token’s art, the climb from the scan to its peak and the scanner’s photo pinned where they got in. The cards are explained with calls.
The PROMO line
One sponsored line, clearly labeled. Ads are how the bot stays free, and they are marked rather than dressed up as data. A promoted token never enters /trending as though it were organic. How advertising works.
