FAQ

Proteus Labs is a multichain token research lab. Paste a Solana, Base, or BNB Chain contract and get a full reading: authorities, holders, liquidity, volume, social/community signal, a Technicals tab (1h RSI, MACD, EMAs, Bollinger, Fib, support/resistance), and an AI-assisted risk take. You can also deep-dive a wallet on Portfolio, browse public scans in the Observatory, discover LP-screened pools on Radar, and earn a share of the Treasury airdrop pool. Research and entertainment only — not financial advice.

No email, no password. On the website you connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, and other wallet-standard wallets). In the iOS app, sign-in is Phantom or Solflare. Your wallet address is your identity. Connecting proves you control the wallet. It never gives us the ability to move your funds.

In the iOS app, open Profile and scroll to Delete account. Confirm it. That removes the off-chain data for the signed-in wallet: points, referrals, watches, forensics history, votes, and the premium record Proteus stored. It does not cancel or refund an App Store subscription. Cancel that in Settings, Apple ID, Subscriptions. Activity already on the blockchain stays there.

Yes. The Proteus Labs iOS app is the same lab: scan, Atlas, Markets, Briefing, Forensics, and the liquidity desk. Home, Atlas, Markets, and Briefing can be browsed without a wallet. A scan, Forensics, and liquidity search ask you to sign in with Phantom or Solflare. The app sells an auto-renewable annual subscription through Apple, tied to the wallet you are signed in with. It also recognizes a pass that same wallet already bought on the website.

No. Risk scores, Technicals, Circle signals, and AI commentary are research aids and entertainment. Tokens flagged as low risk can still go to zero, and flagged tokens can pump. Always do your own research and never risk more than you can afford to lose.

Radar screens Solana, Base, and BNB Chain pools for structure and traction, then ranks them for LP research. Each mode is a separate desk: Institutional (established, no launchpads), Core (Raydium / Orca / Meteora), Active (live flow), Early (young heat). Opening a row opens that pool in the Analyzer on the Liquidity tab and uses a token scan — the first 3 are free, then Premium. It is research, not a return. Pulse refresh is Premium; otherwise the tape updates on the daily clock.

A full desk report for the mint: a Safety tab (exit traps, Token-2022 / authority flags, LP & deployer context), holders (including cluster / early-bag / flagged wallets from the same scan — not a Forensics dive), liquidity, Circle signal, Proteus AI narrative, and Technicals. First 3 scans are free (teaser Oracle); Premium scans include the full Oracle and earn 10 Airdrop Points.

The Risk Score comes from live structure — not a price prediction. Solana scores stay between 5 and 98. Base and BNB Chain scores stay between 8 and 98. It starts from a baseline and adds or subtracts points for things like mint/freeze authority, Token-2022 traps (transfer hook, permanent delegate, closable, etc.), top-holder concentration, liquidity depth, LP lock / unlock timing, transfer tax, creator/insider holdings, early concentration, token age, RugCheck / GoPlus flags, and a small nudge from X when available. The final number is labeled: under 40 = Low, 40–59 = Medium, 60–79 = High, 80+ = Extreme. The Safety and Oracle tabs break those factors down — the AI narrative doesn't invent the score.

After you analyze a token, open the Technicals tab for a 1h chart snapshot from GeckoTerminal on the primary pool: RSI (14), MACD (12/26/9), EMAs, Bollinger Bands, volume context, support/resistance, and Fib levels. The still-forming candle is dropped so indicators aren't skewed by incomplete bars. If the pool is brand new with thin history, full RSI/MACD/EMA50 may be limited until more hourly candles exist.

On Portfolio, we pull your wallet's holdings, deeper recent activity (transfers, buys/sells via enhanced history), realized SOL PnL where we can infer it, bag-health roll-ups, and per-token structural flags (liquidity, mint/freeze, RugCheck). Premium desk — one scan per wallet every 30 minutes — balances and prices refresh each run; sticky mint/rug facts may reuse a short cache. Your first scan each UTC day also earns 5 Airdrop Points.

The Observatory is the public feed of contracts scanned in the lab — risk scores, flags, and Proteus takes. Expand any scan for stats, liquidity, holders, and commentary. Connect a wallet to endorse or flag in the Circle.

The Docket is the public feed of wallet forensics that someone chose to publish — dives stay private until you hit Publish. If a published dive names a wallet that is also on the Docket, those analyses sit in the same ring automatically. Anyone signed in with a wallet can add tags from an expanded dive on the Docket (up to 32) — related wallet addresses or names like a factory ring, a team, a funding tree. Publishing posts the full report for anyone to read; you can unpublish later. The publisher can remove tags.

Atlas pairs a creator with their launches on Solana, Base, and BNB Chain. Pick a deployer and the known launches show. Pick a token and the creator shows.

Nexus, on the Forensics desk, maps transfers inside a set you paste: 2 to 25 wallets, one chain at a time (Solana, Base, or BNB Chain). It keeps a transfer only when both sides are in that set. It counts as one Deep forensics use. The run stays private until you publish it.

Liquidity builds unsigned Solana transactions so you can add or exit a position on Raydium, Orca, Meteora, or PumpSwap. You sign in your own wallet. Proteus never holds the funds, the LP tokens, or the position. Before the wallet opens, and again before we broadcast, we refuse a transaction that is not paid by your wallet or that tries to transfer tokens, approve a spender, or hand your account to another program. That check is a filter, not a guarantee. Browse is open. Add, withdraw, create, and claim need Premium. Add LP stays on Solana.

No. A position stays in your wallet at the pool program. We do not hold it, and we do not run a lending market, so nobody here can force-close it. Withdraw, increase, claim, pause, and close each need a signature from the wallet that owns the position. Going out of range on a concentrated pool means the position earns nothing until price comes back. That is market movement, not a liquidation.

Watch is a Premium inbox. Follow a creator from Atlas and new launches from that wallet show on your Dashboard. It is an alert list, not a trade signal.

Briefing is a course in this browser: keys, pools, fees, and traps. Each lesson has a lab and a check. Progress saves on your device. It is not financial advice.

Three token scans per connected wallet — full Safety, Stats, Holders, LP, and Technicals, with a short Oracle teaser. After that, token scans, portfolio, forensics, Watch, LP moves, Radar pulse refresh, Circle votes, and live Observatory numbers need Premium.

$49.99 Single Use is one payment for 300 token scans and 30 Deep dives. Those uses do not expire and do not refill, and Single Use does not join airdrops. Buying it again adds another pack. $399.99 Annual is the subscription: 365 days, and the only plan that joins airdrops. Token scans with the full Oracle: 500 per UTC month on Annual. Forensics is 100 Deep dives per UTC month on Annual. Also included on both: Watch inbox, LP moves, Radar pulse refresh, Portfolio, Circle votes, and Observatory live numbers. Pay in SOL on the Premium page. A website Annual pass does not auto-renew. Website payment splits on-chain: 70% Treasury, 30% Ops. The iOS app sells Annual only, as an Apple subscription at the price shown in the app. It renews each year until you cancel, it is tied to the signed-in wallet, and Apple’s charge is not added to the treasury. A website pass on that same wallet is recognized in the app.

Website SOL payments are final once the on-chain transfer confirms. An App Store annual subscription is billed by Apple, and a refund request for that subscription goes through Apple. If Apple revokes a period, coverage for that period ends. See the Terms of Service.

If a token scan or forensics dive errors after we counted it, we put that use back on your scan cap (or free-scan count). Empty wallets never count. That is not a payment refund.

Analyzing a token earns 10 points. Your first portfolio scan each UTC day earns 5 points. Referrals earn 50+ points per invite (more at higher tiers), and anyone who joins with your code starts with 25 welcome points. Points never expire.

The Treasury is the on-chain airdrop wallet only. When you buy Premium, 70% of that payment goes there in the same transaction — that balance is what funds Circle airdrops. The other 30% goes to a separate Ops wallet for API and company costs. Holdings labeled Treasury on the site are airdrop-wallet funds, not Ops.

Airdrops are paid only from the Treasury pool in SOL. The first drop is Christmas 2026. From 2027 there are four drops a year: March 25, June 25, September 25, and December 25. December 25 closes the year. Your share of the pool is proportional to your weight: Airdrop Points × referral boost × activity multiplier (up to ×1.5 around 120 actions that quarter — scans, votes, purchases, and referrals count). Tiny shares below the dust threshold are skipped so gas isn't wasted. This is a percent of the pool, not a fixed points-to-token rate.

An Annual subscription that covers the epoch. Single Use does not join the drop. Free scans don't count. Points you earn on either pass stay on the wallet and count when Annual covers an epoch. Airdrops are discretionary rewards, not guaranteed income.

Share your code from the Referrals page. When someone joins with it, you earn Airdrop Points (more at higher tiers) and a referral boost that multiplies your airdrop weight. They get 25 welcome points. Boosts stack with activity for your drop share.

The Circle is the community layer on each token page: eligible wallets endorse or flag a token, optionally with a note and an evidence link. Votes are weighted by Airdrop Points and roll up into a community signal shown alongside the on-chain risk score — and on-chain risk always overrides a green community badge.

You need at least 10 Airdrop Points, at least 1 completed analysis, and a wallet older than 12 hours. Votes also spend Airdrop Points (10 to endorse, 25 to flag). Those points are deducted and not returned. Max 8 votes per day and a 6-hour cooldown before changing a stance. These limits exist to keep brigading and sybil farming expensive.

A flag is an accusation, so it needs substance: a clear explanation and ideally a Solscan/transaction link as evidence. Rage clicks without reasoning are rejected. Notes and evidence links are shown publicly on the token's analysis page.

Connecting shares only your public address. We never ask for your seed phrase or private key — anyone who does is scamming you. Sign-in is a message, not a transaction. The transactions you sign are ones you start yourself: a Premium payment, or a liquidity move. You review every one in Phantom or Solflare before it can go through. The iOS app keeps its own encryption key in the device Keychain so it can open those wallets. That key is not your Solana key.

Your wallet address, Premium coverage, point balances, usage events (analyses, scans, votes), referral relationships, and payment transaction signatures. Token scans and portfolio runs are also labeled app or website. No emails, names, or private keys. The iOS app's Keychain item stays on the phone. See the Privacy Policy for the full picture.
