Liquidity Checks

First gate in Aegis. No liquidity = no signal.

Thresholds

Parameter	Value
Minimum liquidity	$6,000
Market cap range	$5,000 - $40,000

Tokens below $6K liquidity are rejected immediately, before any other checks run.

What Gets Checked

• Pool depth — is there enough liquidity to actually trade?

• Liquidity lock — via RugCheck (for non-launchpad tokens)

• Mcap/liquidity ratio — is the market cap realistic for the liquidity?

• Exit viability — can you sell without massive slippage?

Why It Matters

Low liquidity tokens are dangerous:

• Slippage — your trade moves the price significantly

• Rug risk — devs can drain shallow pools easily

• Exit traps — you can buy but can't sell

Pipeline Position

Liquidity check runs first. If it fails, no other Aegis checks run — saves processing time and keeps obvious garbage out.
