What do these PinkSale badges mean

KYC Badge

KYC = Know Your Customer

  • This badge means the project team has submitted personal identification to PinkSale for verification.
  • Helps prevent rug pulls and scams by holding founders accountable.
  • Investors feel safer knowing the team is known to PinkSale — even if not public.

Key Point: The team’s identity is verified privately by PinkSale, not always doxxed publicly.


Audit Badge

  • Indicates that the smart contract code has been audited by a third-party security firm.
  • Checks for vulnerabilities, backdoors, and scam code.
  • Common auditors: SolidProof, Dessert Finance, Cyberscope, TechRate, etc.

Key Point: This adds technical trust — but audits don’t guarantee safety. Always review the audit report.


SAFU Badge

SAFU = Secure Asset Fund for Users

  • Projects with this badge have gone through an additional screening process by PinkSale.
  • Often includes stricter audit and KYC procedures.
  • The term “SAFU” originated from Binance and signals a higher standard of investor protection.

Key Point: SAFU projects are less likely to be scams, according to PinkSale’s internal vetting.


DOXX Badge

  • Means the project team has publicly revealed their identities.
  • You’ll typically see:
    • Full names
    • LinkedIn profiles
    • Team bios
    • Sometimes video intros

Key Point: A doxxed team = public accountability. It reduces the chances of exit scams.
