RugCheck

RugCheck is an essential security tool for Solana traders that analyzes token contracts to identify potential risks, scam indicators, and red flags before trading. In an ecosystem where thousands of new tokens launch daily, RugCheck provides a critical safety layer that has saved countless users from rug pulls and scams. The tool performs automated analysis of SPL token contracts, checking for common exploit vectors including mint authority (can the creator mint unlimited tokens), freeze authority (can holders be prevented from selling), top holder concentration (is supply controlled by a few wallets), and liquidity pool characteristics (is liquidity locked or can it be pulled). RugCheck assigns a risk score to each token based on its analysis, providing a quick visual indicator of safety. Green scores indicate lower risk, while red scores highlight significant concerns. The tool also provides detailed breakdowns explaining each risk factor, helping users understand why a token may be dangerous rather than just providing a pass/fail verdict. Beyond individual token checks, RugCheck has become integrated into many trading bots and terminals that automatically display risk scores when users view token information. The tool is completely free to use and has become a standard step in the due diligence process for Solana memecoin traders. While no automated tool can catch all scams, RugCheck significantly reduces the risk of falling victim to the most common exploit patterns.
