The Minos docs

Quick start#

1. Copy the coin's token address (it starts with 0x), its explorer or DexScreener link, or type its ticker with a dollar sign ($WHYPE).
2. Paste it into the box on the home page and press Judge it. If nobody has judged the coin in the last 12 hours, connect an EVM wallet when asked. Connecting shares your address only: no signature, no transaction.
3. Watch the steps: collecting, reading, weighing, judging. It takes about 20 to 60 seconds.
4. Read the report: the seal, score and verdict at the top, then every claim with its mark and evidence.

Judge a coin#

Minos reads coins on two chains: Elysium, Kinetiq's Hyperliquid L2, and HyperEVM. It accepts a token address, links from the Elysium explorer, HyperEVMScan, DexScreener and GeckoTerminal, or a $TICKER. A bare address is looked up on Elysium first, then on HyperEVM. If more than one coin trades under a ticker and none is clearly the biggest, Minos lists them so you can pick the right one.

If the coin was judged in the last 12 hours, its stored report opens at once, needs no wallet and doesn't use a judgement. Otherwise a new judgement needs a connected wallet and uses one of its judgements: the 1 free judgement every wallet gets every 24 hours, or your tier's allowance if the wallet holds $MINOS (see Hold $MINOS). The free judgement is counted on the wallet and on your network, so a second wallet or browser doesn't get another. Allowances count over a rolling 24 hours: each judgement frees up again 24 hours after it ran. If a judgement fails partway, it's given back.

The line under the box says how many you have left. When they're used, the box shows what each tier would add.

Read a report#

• Seal: the labrys, the score out of 999 and the verdict, ringed in the verdict's colour. An unjudged coin's seal has no score.
• Verdict and summary: one line, then a few sentences on what checks out and what doesn't.
• Scale: the six verdicts from Tartarus to Elysium, with a line where the coin's score lands.
• Claims: each promise in plain words, the coin's own quote, its mark, why, and chips linking to the evidence it rests on.
• Risks checked: who owns the contract, whether it can be upgraded or can mint, pause or block wallets, holder concentration, liquidity and the website, decided by fixed rules. Red is high risk, ochre is worth knowing, blue is checked and fine. Risks never change the verdict.
• Evidence read: every finding, with a link to check it yourself.

Judge a coin again#

Projects ship, sites change. Once a report is 12 hours old, its page shows Judge it again to anyone. The new report replaces the old one in the ledger.

Jurors and up see Judge it fresh on any report, however new: a fresh re-judgement runs now and replaces the public report. It uses one of the day's judgements.

Hold $MINOS: tiers#

$MINOS: not launched. Until it launches, every connected wallet gets 1 free judgement every 24 hours and the tiers below are closed. The Hold $MINOS page shows where you stand.

Connect a wallet

1. Hold $MINOS in an EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby.
2. Press Connect wallet in the header and pick your wallet.
3. Approve the connection. It shares your address only: no signature, no transaction, nothing can move. Minos reads your balance on chain and sets your tier. You stay connected on that browser for 12 hours.
4. Private reports, the watchlist and API keys belong to your wallet, so the first time you open them your wallet shows a short message naming getminos.fun, your address and an expiry 5 minutes out. Sign it once to prove the wallet is yours. It's a signature, not a transaction.

• Your balance is read again at least every 5 minutes. Sell below a tier and your next judgement counts at the tier below.
• A tier counts per wallet. The site and the wallet's API key share one daily allowance.
• Holding $MINOS pays nothing and promises nothing. It only unlocks use of Minos.

Private reports#

Jurors and up. Tick Private report under the box before you press Judge it. The report opens at a link of its own (/p/<id>) and is never put on the ledger, the home page's latest judgement or the sitemap. Your account page lists your private reports.

Private means unlisted, not secret: anyone you send the link to can read it. If the coin already has a public report under 12 hours old, that report opens instead and no judgement is used.

Watchlist#

Judges. Add up to 25 coins on the watchlist page by address, link or ticker. Every day at 06:00 UTC Minos judges again each watched coin whose report is over 12 hours old, stalest first, up to 60 coins a day across all watchlists. These runs don't use your allowance, and their reports are public like any other.

The page shows each coin's verdict now, its verdict before the last judgement, and the change in score. A coin nobody has judged yet is judged on the next daily run. If your wallet drops below Judge, your list is kept but its coins stop being judged again for you.

Glossary#

Fees and limits#

Wallets and addresses#

Minos has no contract and no treasury, and never asks for a transaction. The only thing it asks a wallet to sign is the sign-in message. $MINOS: not launched. Any token calling itself Minos's before its address appears here isn't ours.

Public API#

Plain HTTPS and JSON. Reading needs no key, and reports and the ledger can be read from any site (CORS open). Running judgements from your own code needs a Judge key (below). <chain> is elysium or hyperevm.

GET /api/report/<chain>/<address>

The full report: chain, address, score, grade (the verdict's id), verdict, summary, claims (each with mark, why, evidence), hazards, evidence, market, judgedAt. 404 when the coin hasn't been judged.

curl https://getminos.fun/api/report/hyperevm/0x5555555555555555555555555555555555555555

GET /api/ledger?limit=30

The latest judgements, newest first (at most 100).

curl "https://getminos.fun/api/ledger?limit=5"

POST /api/judge

Runs a judgement and streams one JSON object per line: {"step": …} while it works, then {"done": …} (with "private": "<id>" for a private report), or {"choices": […]} for a shared ticker, or {"error": …}. Counts against the caller's daily allowance: the free one, or the tier of the wallet connected on that browser. "fresh": true and "private": true need the tiers above.

curl -N -X POST https://getminos.fun/api/judge -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"input":"$WHYPE"}'

GET /api/standing

How many new judgements you have left over the last 24 hours, when the next frees up, and your tier.

POST /api/v1/judge (Judge)

Make a key on your account page. It's shown once and bound to your wallet; making a new one retires the old one. Send it as Authorization: Bearer <key>. Each call re-checks that the wallet still holds 5,000,000 $MINOS and uses the same daily allowance as the site (200 a day). The answer comes when the judgement is done, with the whole report.

curl -X POST https://getminos.fun/api/v1/judge \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <key>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input":"$WHYPE","private":false}'

GET /api/v1/judge with the key returns its standing. Errors: 401 for a missing or unknown key, 403 when the wallet no longer holds the tier, 429 when the day's judgements are used.

FAQ#

Where does my HYPE go?

Nowhere. Minos never asks for a transaction, and judgements are free.

Why do I have to sign a message?

Only for what belongs to your wallet (private reports, the watchlist, an API key), to prove the wallet is yours. Anyone can paste an address; only its owner can sign for it. The message is not a transaction and can't move anything.

What happens if I sell my $MINOS?

Within 5 minutes Minos sees the new balance and your tier drops to the one it still reaches (or the free judgement). Private reports you made stay where they are.

Is Elysium (the verdict) a reason to buy?

No. A verdict says whether the claims are true, not whether the price will rise.

Is this coin a rug?

Minos doesn't call anything a rug or a scam. It shows what the evidence says: who owns the contract and what they can change, who holds the supply, whether the claimed product exists.

Why is my coin unjudged?

It claims no utility on its website, in its bio or in its token metadata. Add a real product, then judge it again after 12 hours.

Why did a working app get a low verdict?

If the site only draws itself with JavaScript, Minos sees almost no text and can't verify the app. The evidence section says so. Docs pages in plain HTML, a verified contract and linked code help.
