What is RugCheck?
RugCheck is the free scanner most Solana traders run before they buy. Paste a contract address and it scores the token on the risks that make rugs easy. It checks whether the creator can still mint or freeze tokens, whether liquidity is locked or burned, how concentrated the top holders are, and whether the metadata can change.
Each risk is listed in plain words with a level, so you can see why a token scores badly, not just that it does. It also covers tokens on Fogo alongside Solana.
A good score isn't a green light. RugCheck catches technical traps; it can't stop a team from selling the supply they hold. Pair it with a holder map like Bubblemaps before anything bigger than a test buy.
One thing to know: the "verified" badge you see on some tokens is bought by the token's team for 150 USDC. It confirms the project's links and info, not that the token is safe.

RugCheck FAQ
Is RugCheck legit?
Yes. RugCheck is a real, working tool: we checked it on 7 November 2026 at rugcheck.xyz. It never needs your wallet or private key to work, so any "RugCheck" site that asks for them is a fake. The real one is rugcheck.xyz.
Is RugCheck free?
Yes, scanning a token on rugcheck.xyz is free and doesn't need a wallet connection. Token teams pay 150 USDC if they want a verified badge.
What does RugCheck verified mean?
The token's team paid 150 USDC to verify its links and details. It is not a safety rating, so still read the risk list.
What does a RugCheck score mean?
It sums up technical risks such as active mint authority, unlocked liquidity and concentrated holders. Lower risk means fewer known traps, not a safe investment.
How do I check if a memecoin is a rug?
Scan it on RugCheck, look at the holder map on Bubblemaps, check whether the dev wallet still holds supply, and size your buy like it could go to zero.
