An example of a strategy using traders trust filters.
These filters help you spot risky tokens and avoid scams by analyzing the behavior of wallets and traders.
Use all three filters together to get a clear picture ([Try it here](https://blokiments.com/s/3453cd25)). The token will likely be safer if all ratios are low. Always double-check before investing! This is only one way to remove scams from your filter search.
### **New Wallets Ratio**
New Wallets Ratio filter
This shows the percentage of new wallets (with no past activity and suspicious behavior) swapping the token.
* **Why it matters:** If many new wallets buy a token, it could signify a scam (like bots or fake buyers).
* **How to use it:**
* Look for tokens with less than 10% new wallets.
* A low ratio means more trusted, experienced wallets trade the token.
### New Wallets Volume Ratio
New Wallets Volume Ratio filter
This shows the percentage of trading volume (money being moved) that comes from new wallets.
* **Why it matters:** If most of the volume comes from new wallets, it's a red flag—scammers often use new wallets to fake activity.
* **How to use it:**
* Choose tokens where this ratio is under 10%.
* A lower volume ratio means real money comes from known wallets, not suspicious new ones.

**Why You Need Both (New Wallets Volume Ratio and New Wallets Ratio)?** \
\
Sometimes, only a few new wallets are involved (low New Wallets Ratio), but those wallets are doing most of the trading (high Volume Ratio). This kind of imbalance is a red flag — it's exactly how scam projects fake trust or pump-and-dump.
Other times, there might be lots of new wallets involved (high Wallets Ratio) but they aren't trading much volume — which can also be suspicious (like bots or mass fake accounts).
{% endhint %}
### Suspicious Traders
Suspicious Traders filter
This shows how many suspicious traders are involved. Suspicious traders are traders that has a history of trading mostly scams, rug pulls or tokens with fake volume.
* **Why it matters:** A high number of suspicious traders is a clear warning sign—they might try to manipulate the token or pull a scam.
* **How to use it:**
* Look for tokens with 0% suspicious traders for maximum safety.
* Even a small percentage can be risky, so use caution.
## **Is the contract verified**
## **Ownership Renounced**
## **Number of Tokens Created by Deployer**
**The "Number of Tokens Created by Deployer" filter tracks the total number of tokens created by the same deployer address (the wallet or smart contract that originally launched the token). This metric provides insights into the deployer’s activity, revealing whether they are focused on a single project or involved in multiple token launches.**
**Why It's Cool: This filter helps you assess the credibility and intent behind a project by examining the deployer’s past behavior. If the deployer has created multiple tokens, it can be a sign of a prolific developer or team, but it can also raise red flags about the potential for scams, such as pump-and-dump schemes or rug pulls. Understanding the deployer's history allows for better risk assessment when evaluating a new token.**
{% hint style="info" %}
**Some apps can easily deploy tokens using the same deployer address, even if the token owners are not connected. In the future, this will be fixed by tagging such addresses.**
{% endhint %}
### Buy Tax
Each trade incurs a fee that is split between liquidity providers and the protocol itself. This fee is commonly called a "swap fee" and is typically set at 0.3% of the transaction value.
However, some tokens on Uniswap may also have additional fees associated with them, known as **sell/buy taxes**. These taxes are applied on top of the standard swap fee and are typically used to incentivize holders to hold the token for longer periods of time.
Sell/buy taxes are usually **imposed by the token's contract itself and can vary widely depending on the specific token.** For example, some tokens may have a higher sell tax than buy tax, meaning sellers will incur a larger fee than buyers. Other tokens may have a flat fee that is applied equally to both buys and sells.
{% hint style="danger" %}
It's important to pay attention to the sell/buy taxes associated with any tokens you're considering trading.
{% endhint %}
* **Buy tax** will cause the actual value received when buying a token to be less than expected, and too much buy tax may lead to heavy losses.
* **Sell tax** will cause the actual value received when selling a token to be less than expected, and too much buy tax may lead to large losses.
