RugCheck review
The default Solana check for a reason: paste a mint and you get a 0–100 risk score, the LP locked share, holder concentration, an insiders view and a token networks graph, all free, plus a free API for your own scripts. It stops at Solana and Fogo, with no charts, alerts or Telegram bot.

Strengths / Limits
Strengths
- Free everywhere, including a keyless API you can call from a bot.
- Risk score expressed the honest way: “Rugcheck risk 42/100 (lower is safer)”.
- Insiders and token networks pages go beyond the classic mint and freeze check.
- Token management lets a team publish a creator message, claim a .token domain or refresh metadata.
Limits
- Solana and Fogo only: nothing for Base, BSC or Ethereum.
- No price charts, no new-pair feed and no alerts.
- A verified badge is granted through token management, so the badge is not an audit.

How to start safely
- Open the official site
Type rugcheck.xyz yourself or use a bookmark: scam copies of popular scanners exist too.
- Paste the token address
Use the contract address from the launchpad or the DEX pair, never a ticker: dozens of tokens share a name.
- Read the red flags first
Mint or freeze authority still active, unlocked liquidity, a few wallets holding most of the supply, snipers and linked wallets.
- Cross-check before you buy
Confirm on a second scanner and on the chain explorer, look at who is buying with a wallet tracker, then size the trade small.
