6 SOURCES.
ZERO TRUST.
Antares never trusts a single source. Six independent APIs are queried in parallel on every scan. Each covers a distinct attack surface — market data, contract security, on-chain truth, holder distribution, chart patterns. When sources conflict, the most conservative verdict wins.
DexScreener
Primary market data layer. Provides real-time price, market cap, liquidity depth across all active pairs, and granular transaction counts across 5m, 1h, 6h, and 24h windows. A token with no DexScreener pair is likely not yet indexed or too illiquid to trade safely.
RugCheck
Specialises in Solana token audit. Checks LP burn/lock status, metadata mutability, mint and freeze authorities, and bundler detection — identifying tokens launched via coordinated bots that pre-buy supply before public trading.
GoPlus
Performs a simulated transaction to detect contract vulnerabilities — honeypots, proxy contracts, blacklist functions, transfer restrictions, hidden fees. Used opportunistically: when the GoPlus public endpoint is rate-limited or unavailable for a given token, the source is gracefully skipped and the verdict is computed from the remaining 5 layers.
Helius
Premium Solana RPC endpoint for direct on-chain calls. The ground truth layer — bypasses any API aggregator and reads state directly from the blockchain. Verifies mint authority, freeze authority, supply, and active accounts. Cannot be faked.
Solscan
Holder distribution and token history. Provides unique holders, top wallet percentages, creation timestamp, and independent 24h volume. A token created 1 hour ago with 12 holders and 90% in one wallet is a textbook pre-rug setup.
GeckoTerminal
OHLCV candle data provider for the Chart Intelligence layer. Raw price candles across 5m, 1h, 6h, and 24h windows. Pump-and-dump detection, blow-off top analysis, and wash trading identification depend on this feed.
CONFLICT RESOLUTION
When sources disagree, Antares always resolves to the most conservative (most dangerous) verdict. A failed source is skipped gracefully without blocking the scan. The system is designed to over-protect, never under-protect.
