How TokenPilot works

A score is never a plain average. A plain average lets a project with four five-star reviews outrank one with four thousand four-star reviews, which is exactly backwards.

Every rating is pulled toward 3.6 until roughly 8 credible reviews exist. Beyond that the project's own reviews dominate. Individual reviews are weighted by the writer's track record, whether they verified onchain activity, how useful other people found the review, and how recent it is. Only reviews from the last 180 days count toward the headline number.

Every project page shows this arithmetic behind the "Why this score?" button, including the plain average for comparison. A score nobody can interrogate is just an assertion.

Anyone, with no account and no wallet. A listing needs a name, a ticker, a contract address, and a plain description of what the project does.

Listings go live immediately rather than sitting in an approval queue, because a project launching today is worthless to find next week. A listing is not an endorsement and does not mean anyone has checked the project. What it is worth is decided entirely by the reviews.

Submissions are rate limited per network, and duplicate contract addresses are rejected.

Reviews require an account. An anonymous rating carries no accountability and is trivially mass-produced, and the reviews are the entire product.

A review needs at least 80 characters describing what you actually experienced. "Moon" and "scam" are not experiences. Reviewers state how long they used the project and whether they hold a position, and both appear on the review itself.

Connecting a wallet is optional and always will be. It earns a badge, never access.

A review can carry one of three states: unverified, verified holder where the wallet held the token, and verified interaction where the wallet actually used the contract. Verified reviews carry more weight in the score, and the share of verified reviewers is shown on every project.

If you listed a project without an account, your browser holds an edit token that lets you come back to it. Signing in and claiming the listing makes that permanent and adds a "claimed by the team" badge.

Claiming lets you correct the description, add official links, and publish updates.

A claimed project can reply to any review, and the reply appears directly underneath it.

What a project cannot do is delete a review it dislikes. A review platform where the subject controls the reviews is an advertising channel, and everyone can tell the difference.

The Wall of Shame ranks the most reported projects. Every flag on it was raised inside a full review written under someone's own handle, so raising one costs exactly what writing a review costs. There is no standalone report button, because that would be a brigading tool with fewer steps.

A project appears there only once at least five separate people have flagged it, counted as people rather than flags: one reviewer ticking six boxes is one bad experience, not six. Flags are weighted by the reporter's track record, whether they verified onchain activity, and how serious the claim is. A rug pull allegation and a marketing complaint are not the same accusation and do not move the same number.

Being on the Wall is not a finding by TokenPilot and is not proof of anything. It means enough people had a bad experience to be worth reading about. A project that disagrees can claim its listing and answer in public. It cannot remove a flag, which is the same rule that governs every review here.

The Hall of Fame is the same measurement pointed the other way: highest weighted score, with at least ten reviews behind it. Neither list can be bought, and there is no editorial choice in either ordering.

One project a day, chosen automatically from a strong weighted score with enough reviews behind it, tilted toward whatever is being written about now. It is not sponsored and not for sale. On days when nothing clears the bar there is no pick rather than a lowered one.

Once chosen it is frozen for that day. A team that screenshots the award at noon should not find the site disagreeing with them by evening.

Moderators can hide a review, flag or remove a listing, and suspend an account. Every action is written to an audit log with the moderator, the target and the stated reason.

TokenPilot does not label projects as scams. It reports what reviewers said: that 72 percent of people rated something one or two stars is a fact about the reviews, and it is far more useful than a verdict we invented.
