Data Integrity Checks

Fast, local check on ticker format. Runs first to filter obvious garbage.

What Gets Rejected

Issue	Example
Starts with $	$SCAM
Contains spaces	GOOD TOKEN
Contains dots	TOKEN.V2
Too long	>10 characters

Why It Matters

Scam tokens often use weird ticker formats to:

• Impersonate legitimate tokens

• Evade basic filters

• Create confusion

This check runs locally (no API calls) and filters out obvious junk before more expensive checks run.
