RugCheck
The user or integrated application submits a token contract address (referred to as a "mint address" on Solana) into the search bar or API endpoint.
What is RugCheck?
RugCheck brings together token risk scoring and authority checks. Computes risk metrics and structured summaries (e.g., assigning safety scores or risk levels such as Good, Danger, or Bad). Identifies whether critical program authorities remain active, such as Mint Authority (ability to mint new tokens) and Freeze Authority (ability to freeze user balances).
Its documented workflow includes: For programmatic access, developers can utilize the free public API or create an account via integrated services (such as FluxRPC) to generate API keys for paid tiers, higher rate limits, and bulk reporting. The user or integrated application submits a token contract address (referred to as a "mint address" on Solana) into the search bar or API endpoint. The platform queries on-chain program configurations, liquidity pool setups, and holder accounts.

RugCheck features
Token Risk Scoring
Computes risk metrics and structured summaries (e.g., assigning safety scores or risk levels such as Good, Danger, or Bad).
Authority Checks
Identifies whether critical program authorities remain active, such as Mint Authority (ability to mint new tokens) and Freeze Authority (ability to freeze user balances).
Token-2022 Extensions Screening
Detects advanced transfer restrictions or parameters under the Token-2022 standard (such as permanent delegates, transfer hooks, or non-transferable flags).
Holder Concentration & Insider Detection
Evaluates token distribution to spot high ownership concentrations, single-holder domination, or suspected insider/bundle networks.
Liquidity & Market Verification
Inspects total market liquidity, LP lock status (vault status), and verifies liquidity pool structures.
How to use RugCheck
Onboarding (API/Developer)
For programmatic access, developers can utilize the free public API or create an account via integrated services (such as FluxRPC) to generate API keys for paid tiers, higher rate limits, and bulk reporting.
Input
The user or integrated application submits a token contract address (referred to as a "mint address" on Solana) into the search bar or API endpoint.
Scan & Analysis
The platform queries on-chain program configurations, liquidity pool setups, and holder accounts.
Report Generation
The tool parses the data through its risk-scoring algorithm to generate a comprehensive JSON or visual web report outlining flags, holder distribution, and market liquidity.
Who is RugCheck for?
RugCheck is suited to users looking for token risk scoring and authority checks on Documented Facts. Its documented workflow includes contract-address based token actions.
Before you use it
- While documentation outlines technical checks for known contract vulnerabilities, authority statuses, and liquidity metrics, *unverified claims* from third-party wrappers or social sentiment often assume the tool can completely predict or prevent financial…
- Official documentation and guided analyses emphasize that RugCheck is meant to serve as an initial research filter ("use it as one part of your research arsenal").
- The free tier of the API relies on cached token reports to manage request volume; users requiring instantaneous, up-to-the-second data on newly deployed tokens must rely on direct on-chain querying or paid real-time WebSocket/fresh-report tiers.
