How to Read a Token Risk Score: A Complete Guide to Hannisol's Analysis

What Is Solana's Token-2022 Standard? New Features and New Risks
Solana's original SPL Token standard, deployed in 2020, was a foundational but deliberately minimal design: create tokens, transfer them, optionally enable mint and freeze authority.

Wash Trading on Solana DEXs: How Fake Volume Is Created and Detected
Wash trading — buying and selling the same asset between related accounts to generate artificial trading volume — has existed in financial markets for over a century.
