**Score 🧠** is my variation to contract checksums. There are many bots that do this, but Rick does it a little differently. The magic sauce will stay a secret, but the vision here is to give a quick insight into the uniqueness of a token contract. _Score may be renamed in a more Rick-ish style later on.._

Supported network: [Ethereum](https://talk.markets/t/ethereum-erc-20-cheatsheet/270?silent=true) :eth:

> Updated 2023-08-30T22:00:00Z - now, whenever a live pair is not found, Rick will try to score the contract so you immediately see similar contracts (so `.pre` is basically done automatically).

The feature has been implemented in :discord: Discord and :telegram: Telegram.

# Understanding scoring 🎯

It’s actually quite simple: a lower score means there are many copy pasta contracts out there. A score of 100 means the contract is unique, for now.

Scores are calculated every time a token is requested. If you are the first to check a contract, it might take a little longer to get a response, but it’s for the greater good.

# Digging deeper 🔍

Since Rick does not do anything (except for showing the default QuickLink Panel) with contracts that do not have a price, like NFTs, addresses or pre-launch contracts, you can calculate a score before the token trading is enabled, and even lookup similar contracts.

> In telegram, you can use the same commands with the `/` prefix.

It’s important to always call these commands with the **token address** - this is the address that you see in full on the default (advanced) price-embed from Rick. 🚨

## Pre-launch scoring ⌛

Keep in mind that a contract must be ✅ **verified** or Rick is not able to calculate a score.

`.pre 0x...`

## Find the pastas 🍝

If the score is **not** 100, there are similar contracts out there. Now, if you want to see the matched contracts, you can. The `.pc` or `.ma` command returns a list with a maximum of 15 matched contracts (the most recently seen contract will be the first).

`.pc 0x...`

# Warning ⚠

This is in no way a bearish/bullish indicator, but just a simple way to indicate if a token contract is unique or not. Keep in mind I never kept old contracts that have been rugged, so the data should become more accurate over time. **Always DYOR, a score of 100 just means Rick hasn’t found similar contracts, a very low score may mean it’s just a basic CA. Keep in mind this method is not 100% accurate.**
