Accurate PnL isn’t just about calculation methodology - it’s about what data you allow into the system in the first place. Clicker’s approach is to discard data we don’t trust and apply multiple layers of validation before any metric appears in a feed or leaderboard.
This page explains the safeguards that make our PnL data resistant to gaming and manipulation.
Our Approach
Clicker’s philosophy is to exclude data we don’t trust rather than try to correct it after the fact. At a high level:
- Sends and receives aren’t trades - moving tokens between wallets doesn’t create phantom gains
- Unknown or extreme prices are rejected rather than estimated
- Anomalous traders and tokens are blocked from leaderboards
The sections below explain each layer in detail.
Price Integrity Safeguards
Manipulated prices are a common attack vector. We validate pricing at multiple levels:
| Safeguard | Implementation |
|---|
| Liquidity thresholds | Reject prices with under 1K or over 1B USD liquidity |
| Price ratio outlier detection | Flag if ratio exceeds 10x or falls below 0.1x between swap sides |
| Quote token preference | When prices conflict, prefer stablecoin side |
| 5-minute quantization | Price windows prevent manipulation via timing |
Leaderboard Eligibility
Appearing on a leaderboard requires meeting multiple criteria. High PnL alone isn’t enough.
| Requirement | Value |
|---|
| Recent trading activity | 3+ swaps in last 7 days |
| Minimum trade value | 500+ USD each |
| Recent swap comment | Within 30 days (for commenters section) |
| Not blocked | Address not flagged by moderation |
Token & User Moderation
Global Blocklists
When we identify a manipulated token or bad actor:
- Token blocklist: Admin-curated list of suspicious tokens. When a token is blocked, all affected user metrics are recalculated from scratch.
- Leaderboard-specific blocks: Profiles can be hidden from leaderboards while remaining visible in other contexts.
Manual Curation
Our moderation team:
- Reviews PnL leaderboards daily
- Blocks tokens that inappropriately impact PnL across users
- Investigates and removes accounts that appear to be gaming
- Searches for new addresses of known traders across public sources
What moderators don’t do:
- Manually adjust PnL values - all PnLs are calculated
- Remove traders without documented reason
- Discriminate against legitimate trading activity
Summary
| Layer | What It Protects Against |
|---|
| Data exclusion | Airdrops, sends, dust, non-trade transactions |
| Price validation | Manipulated prices, illiquid tokens, timing attacks |
| Eligibility gates | Inactive accounts, one-time outliers |
| Manual curation | Novel manipulation, edge cases, bad actors |
