Introduction

The Solana ecosystem has become the most active permissionless environment for rapid token creation, speculative trading and early-stage experimentation. With extremely low fees and sub-second finality, Solana enables thousands of new tokens to appear daily — from serious infrastructure projects to memecoins, farm experiments and short-lived pump cycles.

This explosive growth has created a new class of risk: hyper-accelerated token launches where early actors hold structural advantages over retail. Traditional token scanners, originally designed for EVM-based ecosystems, fail to understand the dynamics unique to Solana:

  • Bonding-curve launchpads (Pump.fun, LetsBonk, etc.) eliminate classic “LP rug” attacks but introduce much more sophisticated dev behavior such as multiwallet swarms, synchronized buys, pre-funded clusters and coordinated exit patterns.

  • SPL DEX tokens face a different threat model entirely: liquidity manipulation, mint authority risks, concentrated holder distributions, wash trading and bot-driven volume inflation.

Most tools simply combine both ecosystems into a single generic risk model. This approach does not work. A liquidity-based rug check does nothing for bonding-curve tokens. A wallet swarm analysis does nothing for DEX tokens with locked LP.

The market needs a solution that recognizes these are two different worlds, with two different attacker profiles, two different data structures and two different risk signatures.

This is why Raphael Sentinel was created.

Raphael Sentinel is built on a simple principle:

A token should be analyzed the way its attack surface actually works — not the way generic scanners pretend it does.

By automatically detecting whether a token is a standard SPL token or a Pump.fun-style launchpad token, the platform routes it through a specialized analysis pipeline tailored to its exact risk model. This enables accurate scoring, meaningful insights and transparent detection of asymmetries that retail traders usually cannot see until it is too late.

At the same time, Raphael Sentinel is architected as a modern Web3 SaaS platform — combining on-chain intelligence, real-time monitoring, resource-efficient backend infrastructure and a native token model that enhances user experience without compromising sustainability.
