Solana Rug Checker
Paste any mint address for a Low, Some or High rug read: authorities, transfer tax, metadata lock and holder spread.
Common questions
Is the Rug Check free?
Yes. It reads public on-chain data and signs nothing, so there is no platform fee and no wallet connection. You approve nothing and you pay nothing but the time it takes to read.
Does a Low risk result mean the token is safe to buy?
No. Low risk means the specific controls that let a team dilute, freeze or tax holders are not active right now. It says nothing about whether the people behind the token are honest, whether anyone will still be trading it next week, or where the price goes. This is not financial advice, and a clean report is not a recommendation.
What does the Rug Check actually look at?
Whether the mint authority is still active, whether the freeze authority is still active, whether transfers are taxed and whether that tax rate can still be raised, whether the metadata is locked, and how concentrated the largest holders are. On mainnet it also reads how much liquidity exists across pools and how much of the main pool's LP has been burned.
Why is an active mint authority the worst thing it can find?
Because whoever holds it can create more of the token whenever they want, and every new token dilutes everyone who already owns some. It is the one control that can take value from you while you do nothing at all. On a token you control you can give that authority up permanently with the Revoke Authorities tool.
Does it check whether the liquidity is locked?
It checks whether the main pool's LP tokens have been burned, which permanently removes anyone's ability to pull that liquidity back out. It does not yet detect liquidity that is time-locked in a separate contract instead of burned, so a pool reported as unburned may still be locked by other means. Check the pool on an explorer before drawing a conclusion from that one line.
Why is holder concentration only a caution and never a High risk on its own?
Because the largest holder of a perfectly healthy token is very often the liquidity pool itself, which is exactly where those tokens are supposed to sit. We cannot reliably tell a pool account from one person's wallet, so concentration alone can never push a token to High risk here. Checkers that do rank it higher tend to score brand-new tokens as dangerous largely for having few holders, which is just what new looks like.
Can I check a token on testnet?
Yes. The authority, transfer tax and metadata checks work on both networks. The liquidity and LP checks are skipped on testnet, because a testnet pool holds nothing of value and reporting its depth would be meaningless.
What a rug pull actually is
Any of a handful of on-chain controls used against holders: creating more supply, freezing wallets, taxing transfers, or pulling the liquidity. Every one is written on the chain in public before it is ever used, which is why this report reads them straight off the mint rather than guessing at intentions. Everything it shows is a fact at the moment you pressed Check, so re-check before acting on an old result.
If it is your own token, each finding has a tool that fixes it: give up the mint and freeze authorities with Revoke Authorities, lock the name and logo with Update Metadata, make the liquidity permanent with Burn LP Tokens, and see who holds it with Holder Snapshot. Starting from scratch, the deploy console can revoke both authorities as part of the launch.
