Warning signal

Moderate Sell Fee

Sell fee in the 15-30% range — punitive enough to discourage exits.

Analyzer: Swap Activity
Slug: moderate_sell_fee

What it means

Sell fee between 15% and 30% of trade size. At this level, the fee is no longer an inconvenience — it's a deliberate exit barrier.

Why it matters

30% fees mean a token has to triple just for a holder to break even on a round trip. Most holders never break even. The operator collects the fee on every panic sell.
