About Rug Radar

Rug Radar is a free, public scam checker for Solana tokens. Anyone can paste a token and get an explained Rug Score built from public on-chain data, or paste their own wallet into Was I the exit? to see who was selling around their buys. There is no sign-up, no wallet connection, no paid placement and no affiliate link.

Meme-coin launchpads create tens of thousands of tokens a day, and many are drained within hours. The warning signs are usually visible on-chain before the crash: supply bought in the launch block by bundled wallets, holders funded by the same wallet, creators selling, liquidity that can be withdrawn, and live mint or freeze authority. Rug Radar puts those facts in one place in plain language.

What the tools do

• X chatter: for each Top Rugs coin we count posts on X that contain its mint address over the last 7 days (X recent-counts API, refreshed at most once a day), and label the mood of up to 25 recent posts as Positive, Mixed or Negative with a simple public keyword list (fewer than 5 posts: “Not enough posts”). The sample size is shown. We also flag when mentions in the 6 hours before the price peak ran at 3× or more the usual hourly rate. Only aggregate numbers are shown: no post text and no handles. Bots, giveaways and paid promotions inflate counts, a cashtag-only mention is not counted, and chatter is not a safety signal.
• Rug Score: ten checks, 100 points. Our own on-chain checks cover the launch-slot bundle, funding-linked wallet clusters and creator sells. RugCheck data covers insiders, holder concentration, authorities and LP lock status; DexScreener covers liquidity. Missing data is never guessed: the result is marked PARTIAL. Severe flags cap the score at 25, including a creator-sell cap: if the creator wallet's launch-slot tokens that have left that wallet (sold or moved out) exceed 20% of total supply, the score is capped at 25 (below the 75 pass line). This uses on-chain balances only and says nothing about intent.
• Was I the exit?: for a wallet's recent meme-coin buys, shows who sold within ±90 seconds and how the token has done since.
• Top Rugs, Dumper Wallets and Money Flow Map: a log of rugs flagged by @rugradar0, wallets that sold during each crash, and where the SOL went next (up to 2 hops). Regenerated on a schedule; each table shows when it was last refreshed.
• Venue Ratings: Solana launchpads and terminals rated on a published rubric with cited sources.

Methodology and data sources

• Solana RPC (transactions, token accounts, supply, holders), through a read-only proxy that keeps the API key server-side and does not log the addresses you look up.
• pump.fun public trade data and candles; RugCheck token reports; DexScreener pairs; GeckoTerminal prices.
• Scoring runs in your browser. Every check links to a public explorer so it can be verified.

Limits

• Scores are automated heuristics. A pass does not mean a token is safe; a fail is not an accusation.
• Free data sources can be slow, rate-limited or wrong. When a check has no data, the score says PARTIAL.
• Wallet clusters are based on shared first-funding wallets. Exchanges and busy services fund many unrelated wallets, so a funder with 1,000+ transactions is ignored when it funded only two of the traced wallets. This can miss some links, and a shared funder is a fact about funding, not proof of common control.
