Solana Rug Checker

Every standard Solana token is an account owned by the SPL Token Program at TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA. That mint account stores supply, decimals, mint authority and freeze authority. Two of those four fields decide whether a holder can be diluted or frozen, which is why this rug checker reads them first, live from mainnet, rather than trusting anything written in a launch post or a Telegram pin.

The third checkpoint derives the Metaplex Token Metadata account from the mint pubkey (program metaqbxxUerdq28cj1RbAWkYQm3ybzjb6a8bt518x1s) and checks whether name, symbol and image are actually populated. The fourth queries DexScreener's public token-pairs endpoint for liquidity pools tied to the mint and whether their LP tokens were burned.

Each row links out to Solscan so the scanner is a shortcut, not an authority. If a checkpoint and the explorer disagree, the explorer is right.

A rug pull checker only saves time. Everything it reads is public, and doing it by hand once is the fastest way to understand what the results mean:

1. Open the mint address on Solscan. Confirm you have the right token by comparing the address against a second source — not by the name, which anyone can copy.
2. On the mint account, look at Mint Authority and Freeze Authority. Both should read as revoked or empty for a memecoin that claims to be finished.
3. Check the holders tab. A single non-pool wallet holding a large share of supply is a risk no on-chain flag captures.
4. Open the pool on DexScreener and look for the burned or locked liquidity badge, then confirm it by opening the LP token on Solscan and checking whether 1nc1nerator11111111111111111111111111111111 holds the supply.
5. Check that the metadata image and socials actually load. Broken metadata on a token being actively promoted is a mismatch worth pausing over.

The scanner above compresses steps 1, 2 and 4 into one request. Step 3 and step 5 still need your judgement, which is the honest reason no rug checker should be read as a verdict.

"Rug pull" covers several mechanically different exits. A scanner that reads mint state catches the ones written into the token; it cannot see the ones that live in wallet behaviour or in a pool's trading rules.

The pattern is worth internalising: on-chain checks close the mechanical exits, and a clean result moves the remaining risk into holder concentration and human behaviour. That is progress, not safety.

Most people use two or three of these together. They answer different questions, and knowing which is which stops you from over-reading a single number.

A composite score is useful for triage across many tokens. It is not useful when you need to know exactly why something was flagged, because the weighting is opaque. This page is built for the second case: four facts, each traceable to an explorer page in one click.

Context changes what a checkpoint means, and a scanner that ignores that trains people to read noise as signal.

If you are launching rather than buying, the same table doubles as a pre-launch checklist. Revoking authorities and burning liquidity is what turns those rows green, and both are one-click steps in Alchemii's Solana token creator.

• It is not a safety guarantee. Clean trust signals reduce specific rug vectors. They say nothing about whether a token holds value, whether the team executes, or whether anyone else shows up to buy.
• It is a snapshot, not a subscription. A token that passes at 09:00 can fail at 09:05 — on Solana, authorities can be transferred whenever the keypair holder chooses. Re-run the check before you transact, not once a week ago.
• It does not read holder concentration. The single most common way a technically clean token goes to zero is one wallet selling. That lives on the Solscan holders tab.
• It is not financial advice. We build token-creation tooling and published this scanner because the question kept arriving. The answer we would give a friend is the same one here: read the chain data, then decide for yourself.
