Fineness is a tool that checks GitHub repositories connected to cryptocurrency tokens and scores how genuine the underlying code looks. Many crypto projects launch a token alongside a GitHub repository to suggest real development work is happening, but the repository itself might be a copy of someone else's project, filled with low effort commits, or effectively abandoned. Fineness tries to catch that by producing a public score from zero to one hundred for any repository tied to a token. The score is built from several signals that anyone could check themselves if they had the time. It looks for whether a repository is secretly a fork of another project, checks how contributions are spread across different people, watches whether commit activity has a natural rhythm or looks artificially generated, and tracks whether development slows down or stops soon after a token launches, which can be a sign of a rug pull. It also looks at how quickly a project gains stars and whether that growth looks organic. Alongside the score, Fineness calculates a reality gap: how much a token's market valuation is per point of actual scored development activity, meant to make it easier to see when a token's price is far ahead of any real building behind it. The project explicitly avoids giving price predictions or buy and sell advice. Everything shown is based on public GitHub data anyone could verify themselves, and project owners can dispute or correct how their repository is linked to a token through the public API. Under the hood, Fineness is built as a pnpm monorepo with a Next.js web app, a background worker using BullMQ and Redis for scanning jobs, and a Postgres database. It also offers a free public API with no key required. The project is written mostly in TypeScript, is released under the MIT license, and currently has 0 stars on GitHub.
