Safety on Solana is mostly about two things: not getting rugged when you buy, and not looking like a rug when you launch. Both come down to the same on-chain signals — mint authority status, freeze authority status, LP burn proof, and the deployer wallet's history — that a trader scans in the first 30 seconds. The articles below cover how to read those signals before you buy, how to produce them correctly when you launch (revoke authorities, burn LP, pin metadata), and the platform-level safety questions (is Pump.fun safe, is a given token maker non-custodial) that decide whether your keys and your SOL stay yours.
